IC - DTMB Demodulator

 
 

The ASTRI’s DTMB demodulator is a demodulator chip targeted to the China Digital Television Terrestrial Broadcasting System Standard (GB20600-2006).

The chip takes a digital IF signal as input and converts this signal to baseband. It then performs the necessary demodulation and FEC (forward error correction) decoding, and provides an MPEG-2 transport stream output in parallel or serial format..

   
 
   
 

Key Features to be adopted

   
 
  • Innovative system algorithm design
  • Novel architecture design and various low power design methodologies
  • Signal input format - Digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) input
  • Data output format - MPEG-2 TS (Transport Stream) Synchronous Parallel Interface (SPI)
  • Small form factor with superior performance
