STV0399

STV0399 Front-End Single Chip for Digital Satellite Broadcasting With over five years experience in satellite broadcasting, it is no surprise that STMicroelectronics has become the first company to offer a complete front-end single chip for digital satellite receivers and set-top boxes. Implemented in an advanced 0.18µm CMOS process, the STV0399 integrates a Zero IF tuner, a multi-standard (QPSK and 8-PSK) demodulator and a Forward Error Correction block in a single chip. Until now, two or more IC’s have been required to implement these functions, at a cost significantly higher than that made possible by the STV0399. Key benefits of this ground-breaking device include: A significant reduction in the bill of materials required by equipment manufacturers Comprehensive RF circuitry on-chip, including a full range frequency synthesizer, baseband control and all baseband filters Simplified board design and manufacture as no RF expertise required Very low power consumption - less than 700 mW Small package size With such a major increase in on-chip functionality, the STV0399 is able to offer a wide range of high performance features. These include: Direct RF input from LNB Direct conversion demodulation (Zero IF) On-chip full range frequency synthesizer Wide 950 to 2150 MHz frequency range covering worldwide needs Multi-standard QPSK, 8-PSK and BPSK demodulator Channel bit rate up to 100 Mbps and symbol frequency rate from 1 to 45 Msymbols, enabling the same sa...
