DVB-T Demodulator
CXD1968AR
Description
The CXD1968AR is a 4th generation product in a successful family of DVB-T channel decoders that conforms
to the ETSI (EN) 300-744 standard and demonstrates exceptional performance in the current industry regional
receiver specifications including Nordig 1.0.2 and IEC (MBRAI) requirements.
This state of the art demodulator provides a fully flexible interface compatible with a wide variety of RF tuner
solutions from today’s common High IF or Low IF architectures to future direct conversion ZIF systems. It offers
options to address the cost/performance balance for a range of DVB-T applications from digital only to digital/
analog hybrid systems. Advanced algorithms deliver optimal performance for each system configuration, while
options to clock from a variety of tuner sources help to minimize system cost.
The highest technical performance is achieved through the implementation of advanced algorithms in
synchronization and channel estimation, which result in robust decoding for challenging reception
environments such as SFN’s and portable reception. It also features an internal auto-acquisition controller that
simplifies host software during scanning, and completely eliminates host software intervention during channel
acquisition and recovery.
In summary, the CXD1968AR is a highly integrated DVB-T channel decoder that provides Sony’s highest
performance, most flexible configuration and design simplification for today’s digital terrestrial receiver
designs.
Applications:
Digital terrestrial set top boxes
Digital terrestrial PVRs and recordable DVD players
Portable DVB-T receivers
Terrestrial IDTV with digital only or hybrid tuner support
PC-TV receiver modules
DVB-T test equipment
