Interfacing the VP310/SNIM3 to MPEG Decoders
Application Brief
Introduction
DS5200
ISSUE 1.1
July 1999
MPEG decoders from various manufactures have different implementations of the tuner interface with dissimilar pin names for
a given function, or in some cases, no pin at all for a particular function. This application brief is intended to assist designers using
the Zarlink Semiconductor VP310/VP311 Satellite Channel Decoder and/or the SNIM3 reference decoder design, when
connecting to various MPEG decoders.
