BCM3510 - ATSC/VSB DTV/CATV Receiver

ATSC/VSB DTV/CATV Receiver

The Broadcom® BCM3510 is a VSB/QAM digital receiver which is compatible with both North American digital cable television and digital terrestrial broadcast television standards. It is capable of receiving all standard-definition and high-definition digital television formats (SDTV/HDTV).

This second-generation Broadcom VSB receiver implements significant performance and feature improvements. Performance has been enhanced in several key areas including equalizer, gain control, and adjacent and co-channel rejection. These improvements were developed based on more than one year of field trial and deployment of the BCM3500. Feature improvements include an upgraded embedded microcontroller to handle acquisition, reacquisition and monitoring tasks while offering users a simplified, high-level application programmer interface.

  • Integrated 64/256-QAM and 8/16-VSB Receiver
  • CATV/HDTV Standards-Compliant FEC Decoder
  • MPEG-2 transport interface requires no glue logic to interface to smart cards and PCMCIA conditional access devices
