The company’s broad portfolio of semiconductor products also
includes client-side DSL and cable modem solutions, home
network processors, broadcast video encoders and decoders,
digital STB components and systems solutions, and dial-up
modems. In addition to its IEEE 802.11a/b/g-compliant WLAN
chipsets, software, and reference designs, Conexant offers
a suite of networking components that includes solutions for
applications based on HomePlug
®
and HomePNA
™
. Additional
products include a complete line of asymmetric and symmetric
DSL central office solutions, which are used by service providers
worldwide to deliver broadband data, voice, and video over
copper telephone lines.
full-featured Development Platform
The CX2417x IC family is integrated into a fully engineered
interactive TV STB reference development system that
implements third-party interactive middleware/real-time operating
system (RTOS) platforms and provides a complete set of STB
low-level drivers based on Nucleus+ OS. A mature and robust
hardware abstraction layer is assured by re-use of core driver
libraries developed over three generations of production MPEG
ICs. The STB development platform hardware is designed with
a flexible architecture that supports multiple front end tuner/
demodulator daughter boards.
common Platform for Satellite, cable, and Terrestrial
STB manufacturers increasingly look to leverage a common
hardware platform that can be reused over various broadband
networks, including satellite, cable, terrestrial, DSL, and Ethernet
IP networks. Conexant’s CX2417x ICs can serve as a common
back-end platform that easily interfaces to a variety of broadband
front ends, including QPSK, 8-PSK, DVB-S2, QAM, OFDM, 8-VSB,
ADSL/VDSL, 802.3, 802.11a/b/g, or IEEE 1394 through either
transport stream or PCI interface. This provides a flexible STB
solution that can be targeted to a variety of broadband operators
while minimizing hardware/software development costs. The
CX2417x is also fully compatible with a MPEG-4 (AVC/H.264)
compliant co-processor to provide bandwidth-efficient, advanced-
compression bitstream decoding.
The CX2417x includes optional license-based features optional as designated by the dash numbers.
