BCM3545 QAM Digital Receiver

The BCM3545 is a highly integrated low-power solution combining the functionality of a complete QAM-to-NTSC converter on a single chip. It provides SCTE-40 QAM signal reception, with functionality targeted at DTA specification or similar converter boxes for analog cable switch-off. This all-silicon solution minimizes part count and provides ease of manufacturing. The comprehensive integration of ADCs and DACs simplifies system design and cost and has direct interfaces to all other system components, including serial Flash (SPI), tuner (I2C), push buttons, and an Infrared (IR) demodulator. The BCM3545 has all security components to meet the DTA conditional access requirements, including ISO 7816 SmartCard interface, DVB-CSA, DVS-042, DES-ECB-CTS descramblers, 3DES key management, and bootloader ROM. Each BCM3545 will be factory OTP-programmed with its unique private password. JTAG and Broadband Studio ports may be OTP-locked at the stage of product factory test. A high-fidelity fixed 54-MHz crystal clock is used to clock in the 12-bit ADC.

The BCM3545 has an MPEG-2 Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)- compliant transport processor with advanced section filtering capability, MPEG-2 (MP@ML profile) video decoder, a Broadcast Television Systems Committee (BTSC) audio encoder, a Dolby AC3/MPEG-2 audio decoder, a pair of analog audio outputs (L-R), and a single NTSC video encoder with analog output. The BCM3545 incorporates a complete MIPS32®-based microprocessor subsystem, including caches with bridging-to-memory and a local bus, where external peripherals can be attached. Integrated peripherals include a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), counter/timers, general-purpose input/output (GPIO), Infrared (IR) transmit (TX)/receive (RX), Broadcom Serial Control (BSC), and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) controllers.
