The BCM3118B QAMLink DVB/DAVIC Receiver with FEC is
an integrated 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. Optimized for highvolume manufacturing, the BCM3118B is a highly integrated
solution that reduces the system-level chip count, the cost, and
the complexity associated with manufacturing RF receivers.
A single-chip solution, the BCM3118B has a 10-bit A/D
converter, a 256-QAM demodulator with square-root raisedcosine receive filters, an adaptive equalizer with an embedded
phase recovery derotator, acquisition and tracking loops, and a
DVB/DAVIC-compliant Reed-Solomon FEC decoder with
deinterleaver. The demodulator supports QPSK, 16, 32, 64, 128
and 256-QAM formats and adapts to channels encoded at
different data rates up to 56 Mbps. The equalizer in the
BCM3118B achieves transmission performance within 1 dB of
theory over worse-case channels with multipath delays as long as
2.4 microseconds at 5 MBaud or 1.7 microseconds at 7 MBaud
and amplitudes within .5 dB of the desired signals. With this
level of performance, the BCM3118B combats the effects of
channel distortions commonly found in cable-TV systems. The
MBus/SPI
Interface
MICRO [3:0]
BCM3118B has an integrated A/D converter, which eliminates
the costs associated with fine tuning of external components
during high-volume production.
The BCM3118B samples the analog IF waveform being
delivered to BCM3118B by the integrated A/D converter. The
signal is then digitally mixed to baseband and filtered by dual
square-root Nyquist filters. Inter-symbol interference is then
removed by the adaptive decision feedback equalizer. A decision
slicer, which supports constellations up to 256-QAM, formats the
equalized data. The data is then fed into a DVB/DAVICcompliant synchronization block, deinterleaver, Reed-Solomon
FEC, and derandomizer. The final error-corrected output is
delivered in an MPEG-2 transport format.
The BCM3118B can be used as a stand-alone chip or with
Broadcom's BCM3250 for a complete watch and record solution
with EuroDOCSIS. Compliant with the ITU-T J83/Annex A and
Annex C, DVB/DAVIC and the IEEE802.14 cable transmission
standards for QAM downstream, the BCM3118B is a universal
downstream solution for worldwide coaxial cable applications.
