MARVELL 88DE8025

Marvell 88DE8020/25 Hybrid Demodulators
Supports DVB-C/DVB-T/Analog-TV Standards
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Marvell® 88DE8020 and 88DE8025 hybrid demodulators with integrated ClearRF TM technology enable robust
TV reception under complex signal impairment conditions in terrestrial and cable networks. The demodulators
are compatible with typical low/high IF tuners and TV decoders. The 88DE8020 supports DVB-C/DVB-T/NTSC/
PAL/SECAM demodulation, while the 88DE8025 supports DVB-T/NTSC/PAL/SECAM demodulation. Both devices
can demodulate 2K and 8K COFDM modulated signals based on the ETSI specification (ETSI EN 300 744) and
QAM modulated signals based on the DVB-C specification (ETSI EN 300 429). They can also be programmed to
demodulate analog NTSC/PAL/SECAM TV inputs and output CVBS and Sound IF signals.

from tuner source
• Enables slim TV chassis with lower bill of materials. No need for multiple
chips, SAW filters, crystals and passives
• Pin-compatible with Marvell demodulators supporting other standards
• Enables TV makers to develop single worldwide multiformat decoder
chassis with plug-and-play RF front-end
• ClearRF technology provides robust performance exceeding standard
DVB-T requirements
• Good reception in challenging field conditions including:
-Adjacent/co-channel interference from changing troposphere
conditions
-Dynamic echoes in Single Frequency Network (SFN) countries like
Germany/Spain
-Local noise from household appliances, light switches and ignition
systems
• ClearRF technology provides excellent C/N performance in challenging
DVB-C 256QAM networks
• ClearRF technology provides good picture quality even for standard
analog signals
• Hybrid blind scan for simultaneous detection of analog and digital
signals from terrestrial and cable networks
• Robust cable reception in DVB-C networks carrying High Definition (HD)
signals

• Quick out-of-box TV setup for seamless analog, digital channel
reception
Marvell 88DE8020/25 Hybrid Demodulators
APPLICATIONS
The hybrid demodulator when combined with a hybrid CAN tuner or silicon tuner can be used as a standalone frontend board in a variety of applications including:
•Digital Televisions (DTV)
•Digital set-top boxes, video recorders
•Network interface modules
•PC Tuner cards and sticks
To shorten system manufacturers’ design cycles and accelerate time-to-market, Marvell provides complete DTV
front-end development platforms and reference designs with device drivers, schematics, layout files and other
documentation, including detailed Nordig, D-Book and E-Book test results.
