Building on experience
For broadcast transmission, we offer a fully compliant DVB-S/S2 Demodulator and Decoder IP.
- More than 4 million 1st/2nd generation Thomson DVB-S2 ICs shipped
- Long in-the-field experience and extensive feedback from customers allowed to us to
- Identify possible improvements of existing HW blocks
e.g. anti-aliasing filter modified for improved low symbol rate performance
- New HW blocks to reduce the firmware load
e.g. hardware FFT to replace software frequency search
- New HW blocks to improve performance
e.g. PL header capture for fast blind scan
- By far the largest block (~80%) in the 1st/2nd generation ICs was the LDPC decoder
- Special focus in 3rd generation IP to reduce the area, memory requirements, to improve the routability and to minimize the number of memory instances
