BCM93345i Internal PCI DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS Cable Modem with CMOS Tuner B C M 9 3 3 4 5 i SDRAM Diplexer BCM3415 CMOS Tuner SAW O V E R V I E W FLASH BCM3345 MII High-Performance Single-Chip DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 1.0/1.1 Cable Modem PCIEthernet Bridge Broadcom’s BCM93345i QAMLink Cable Modem Reference Design is a complete implementation of a certifiable, low-cost internal DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS cable modem. The BCM93345i design is based on the high-performance BCM3345 QAMLink Single-Chip Cable Modem and BCM3415 Digital Cable Tuner. The BCM93345i is 100 percent software-compatible with the BCM93345. Duplicate software loads reduce software development effort and promote certification. The BCM93345i is delivered with certifiable DOCSIS/ EuroDOCSIS software. The BCM93345i receives the downstream signal via a DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS diplexer. The modulated QAM signal is then downconverted via the BCM3415 Digital Tuner. This signal is then directly sampled via the ADC of the BCM3345. The BCM3345 physical layer processing acquires the signal and demodulates the information for further processing. The data is output in a digital MPEG format for processing by the DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 1.0/1.1 MAC of the BCM3345. All DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS management messages are processed by the BCM3345 hardware based on programmed variables established by the cable modem application software. User data is passed along to the Ethernet MII to the PCI 2.2 bridge chip and to the PC. User data from the PC is likewise processed for forwarding to the CMTS based on the rules established by the MAC management messaging. After data is processed for upstream communications, it is modulated to the appropriate rate and directly converted to the required frequency. The signal then passes through the on-chip upstream amplifier and output directly to the diplexer and onto the cable plant. • User manual The documentation package for BCM3345i includes: • BCM3345 Data Sheet • Hardware schematics • Bill of materials • Gerber files for the PC board • Current object code • Source code • Application notes The BCM93345i Reference Design uses Broadcom’s highperformance, single-chip BCM3345 cable modem. This costeffective design allows Broadcom’s customers to minimize their time to market with a production-quality, internal PCI DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS modem.
