Description
The STV0297E is a complete single-chip QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) demodulation and FEC (forward error correction) solution that performs sampled IF to transport stream (MPEG-2 or MPEG-4) block processing of QAM signals. It is intended for the digital transmission of compressed television, sound, and data services over cable.

FEATUREs
■ Decodes ITU-T J.83-Annexes A/C and DVB-C bit streams
■ Processes Japanese transport stream multiplex frame (TSMF)
■ High-performance integrated A/D converter suitable for direct IF architecture in all QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) modes
■ Supports 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256 point constellations
■ Small footprint package: (10 x 10 mm²)
■ Very low power consumption
■ Full digital demodulation
■ Variable symbol rates
■ Front derotator for better low symbol rate performance and relaxed tuner constraints
■ Integrated matched filtering
■ Robust integrated adaptive pre and post equalizer
■ On-chip FEC A/C with ability to bypass individual blocks
■ 10 programmable GPIO
■ Two AGC outputs suitable for delayed AGC applications (sigma-delta outputs)
■ Integrated signal quality monitors, plus lock indicator and interrupt function mapped to GPIO pin
■ Improved signal acquisition
■ System clock generated on-chip from quartz crystal
■ Low frequency crystal operations 4, 16, 25 - 30 MHz
■ 4 I2C addresses
■ Easy control and monitoring via 2-wire fast I2C bus
■ Additional I2C bus (I2C repeater) dedicated to tuner control for minimum tuner disturbance
■ Programmable clock derived from system clock and available for external use
■ Parallel and serial output interfaces, with DVB common interface support
■ On chip voltage regulator
■ CMOS technology, 1.0 V operation
