CX24430/CX24431
Interactive Cable TV Decoder

Conexant's
highly integrated, single IC, MPEG-2/DVB-compliant, decoder/transceiver
solution for digital cable television receivers.
Conexant's broadband
communications portfolio includes a comprehensive suite of semiconductor
solutions that enable the digital home and information network.
Adding to this impressive line up are the CX24430 and CX24431
Interactive
Cable TV Decoder ICs. This highly-integrated product combines a
high-speed broadband cable modem and an interactive TV broadcast
service decoder
onto a single chip. It is a breakthrough in IC integration that
will allow set-top box manufacturers to offer advanced, fully-interactive
broadband home gateways or other set-top appliances for the price
of an entry-level product that only receives TV broadcasts. The
CX24431
IC version supports NDS Videoguard ® condition access technology.
The CX24430 combines the industry's highest performance DOCSIS cable
modem with the company's third generation interactive TV decoder
technology. This new platform optimises performance by partitioning
cable modem tasks between a dedicated 32-bit ARM940T processor and
programmable software MAC. At the same time, digital TV broadcast
service decoding and set-top box interactive applications are hosted
by a second, dedicated high performance 275MIPS main system processor.
The cable modem section of the device also allows for narrowband
interactivity based on DAVIC 1.2 and 1.5 as well as the DVS 178 and
DVS 167 specifications.

Brady:
DVB-T Converter Box Design

The Brady development design enables manufacturers of multimedia
products to gain rapid access to the developing market for DVB-T
converter boxes. The design is based upon devices from the current
Conexant terrestrial chip set solution and uses the CX22702 DVB-T
demodulator/decoder, the CX22490 TV decoder plus the CX25861 TV
Encoder.
The Brady solution enables reception of both free to view broadcasts
and pay services. The pay services may be enabled via a single smart
card reader. Output is via a single SCART socket.
The design incorporates many features that allow manufacturers to
develop proprietary software applications appropriate for the DVB-T
converter box market.

CX22702
Single-Chip DTV Demodulator/Decoder for DVB-T Systems
Conexant’s CX22702 is a single-chip coded orthogonal frequency
division multiplex (COFDM) demodulator/decoder solution for both 2K
and 8K digital video broadcast-terrestrial (DVB-T) systems. Providing
exceptional echo performance, the device is ideally suited to receiving
the broadcast signal in countries deploying single frequency network
(SFN) implementations of the DVB-T system. The cost-effective CX22702
also offers a high level of integration, along with the ability to
sample the incoming signal at a high or low intermediate frequency
(IF).
Along with COFDM demodulators, Conexant also offers interactive TV
decoder products — the CX2249x family — to provide low-cost
solutions for the core electronics of platforms deployed in digital
terrestrial TV networks.
Input Signal
The CX22702 can accept an input signal centered at a high IF of either
approximately 36.167 MHz (typical for 7 MHz or 8 MHz channels) or
44.1 MHz (for a 6 MHz channel). Alternatively, the input signal could
be at a low IF of approximately 4.57 MHz. The input is an analogue
signal, which is sampled using the internal 10-bit analogue-to-digital
converter (ADC). The device can meet European requirements for adjacent-channel
performance with a single SAW filter. The CX22702 uses digital filters
to remove adjacent channel signals (e.g., NICAM). The tuner’s
automatic gain control (AGC) is controlled via a single or dual sigma-delta
feedback. Only a simple RC filter is required to generate the analogue
control voltage.
From IF Input to MPEG Output
The CX22702 performs all the functions required to produce an MPEG
transport stream output from the IF input. First, it detects impulse
interference by performing a proprietary analysis of the OFDM waveform
and a detector in the AGC. Then the time domain adaptor enables the
chip to address 6, 7, and 8 MHz bandwidth channels as well as adapt
to different IFs, sample timing and frequency offsets. In addition,
the time domain adaptor removes adjacent channel interference and
removes the cyclic prefix prior to the fast fourier transform (FFT).
During channel acquisition, the time domain adaptor uses a set of
algorithms that allow frequency, sample timing, and guard interval
lock to be achieved quickly and reliably before switching to a different
set of algorithms, which provide good tracking performance. For optimal
performance in an SFN, the position of the FFT window is dynamically
located to the strongest signal present in the guard interval.
The CX22702 can interface directly to all Conexant TV decoder devices
and other commonly available MPEG transport demultiplexer chips, as
well as directly to a DVB common interface. The data rate is smoothed
to remove gaps introduced by the COFDM guard interval and variation
in processing time within the forward-error correction (FEC) circuitry.
This allows a stable clock reference to be extracted from the transport
stream more quickly, further reducing the overall time before the
viewer sees a picture.
