The BCM3116 QAMLink Receiver is a fully asynchronous
design with an integrated FEC and 10-bit analog-to-digital
converter. It provides a complete digital transmission solution
for cable modems, cable-TV set-top boxes and digital microwave
radios. Its bandwidth-efficient feature set expands the existing
potential bandwidth of a standard analog network and provides
operators with reliable, error-free transmission.
The BCM3116 accepts a modulated data stream at up to 38.8
Mbps and delivers a demodulated, equalized and error-corrected
output data stream. The receiver integrates a 10-bit A/D
converter, a 256-QAM demodulator with square-root raisedcosine receive filters, a 32-tap adaptive equalizer with an
embedded phase recovery derotator, acquisition and tracking
loops, and a forward error correction (FEC) decoder. The FEC is
ITU-T J.83 Annex B, DOCSIS, DigiCipher II®, IEEE 802.14,
and SCTE DVS-031-compliant.

The analog IF waveform is fed into the chip, where it is sampled
by the integrated A/D converter, digitally mixed to baseband and
filtered by dual square-root Nyquist filters. Inter-symbol
interference is then removed by the adaptive decision feedback
equalizer (DFE). A decision slicer, which supports constellations
up to 256-QAM, formats the equalized data which is then fed
into a trellis decoder, derandomizer, deinterleaver, and ReedSolomon decoder. The final error-corrected output is delivered in
non-MPEG or in MPEG-2 transport format.
Optimized for high-volume manufacturing, the BCM3116
represents a highly integrated solution that reduces the systemlevel chip count, the cost and the complexity associated with
manufacturing RF receivers.
