Si2168-A20
New Generation DVB-T2/T/C Digital TV Demodulator
Description
The Si2168 integrates DVB-T2, DVB-T, and DVB-C digital
demodulators into a single advanced CMOS technology
mixed-signal die for next generation terrestrial and legacy
cable TV standards. Leveraging Silicon Labs' proven digital
demodulation architecture, the Si2168 achieves excellent
reception performance while significantly minimizing
front-end design complexity, cost, and power dissipation.
Connecting the Si2168 to a terrestrial and cable hybrid TV
tuner or digital only tuner, such as Silicon Labs’ Si2176/56/
46 devices, results in a high performance and cost optimized
TV front-end solution.
Silicon Labs internally developed DVB-T2 demodulator can
accept a standard IF (36 MHz) or low-IF input and support
all modes specified by the DVB-T2 standard. Main features
of the DVB-T2 mode are 256 QAM with rotated
constellations, SISO and MISO support, FEF management,
fully autonomous signal acquisition including automatic L1
signalling parsing, 600 kHz acquisition range, support for all
pilot patterns, and DVB-T/T2 auto-detection. The DVB-T and
DVB-C demodulators are enhanced versions of proven and
broadly used Si2161/63/65/67 Silicon Labs devices.
The Si2168 offers an on-chip blind scanning algorithm for
the DVB-C standards as well as blind lock. The Si2168 can
use a crystal, as a reference clock, or be driven by an
external clock signal from the tuner.
The Si2168 programmable transport stream interface
provides a flexible range of output modes and is fully
compatible with all MPEG decoders or conditional access
modules to support any customer application.
