Mgmt. D/A OB_IF +/- Modulator PLL / Clock Generation The BCM3034 QAMLink Universal Modulator is a highly integrated solution that significantly decreases the board space and cost of modulators in digital cable-TV head-ends, digital cable modem headends, digital microwave radio, SMATV and MMDS applications. The BCM3034 features an advanced downstream QAM modulator that includes an extended ITU-T J.83 Annex A/B/C FEC encoder, an alldigital QAM modulator supporting up to 1024-QAM, and an integrated 10-bit D/A converter with power control. Additionally, the BCM3034 includes a second modulator that can be used for out-of-band signaling or CPE power control. The advanced downstream QAM modulator supports symbol rates up to 10 MBaud and symbol constellations from QPSK up to 1024-QAM, enabling up to 100 Mbps operation. The modulator accepts either a serial or parallel data stream, optionally recovers the data timing and encodes the data with one of the supported coding standards. The resulting stream of QAM symbols then enters the modulator where the data pulses are shaped by the dual programmable linear phase square-root Nyquist filters. Built-in coefficients are provided for these filters for industrystandard excess bandwidth factors (alpha = 12%, 15% or 18%). The filtered data is then passed through a 24-tap complex T/2-spaced predistortion filter. This filter allows the user to compensate for nonidealities, such as slope distortion, introduced elsewhere in the RF portion of a design. Interpolation filters then upsample the signal to the output sample rate while providing additional signal filtering. A quadrature direct digital frequency synthesizer and I/Q modulator allows the QAM spectrum to be mixed to a precise output center frequency. The spectrum can then be predistorted by the integrated X/sinX filter to compensate for DAC distortion. The final signal can be output to the integrated 10-bit, 200-MS/s D/A converter, which includes differential analog outputs and a gain stage that can set the output power in 0.4 dB steps. Alternatively, a selectable 12- or 14-bit digital IF output can drive an external D/A converter with sufficient linearity to enable final RF sections that do not require the use of SAW filters to meet industrystandard RF output templates. The BCM3034 is a flexible, cost-effective worldwide solution. Because the chip accepts variable data rates and supports multiple digital transmission standards, manufacturers only need to develop one modulator for worldwide usage. The integrated feature set in the BCM3034 significantly reduces the board space in modulators, giving manufactures a chip solution that is both cost-effective and easy to use.
