Intel多种功能DVB-T解决方案

Product Overview
The Intel® CE 9523 TNIM reference design is a complete two-stage diversity-enabled DVB-T digital
terrestrial receiver. It cascades two Intel® CE 6354 NorDig Unifi ed DVB-T COFDM demodulators to
signifi cantly improve the front-end carrier-to-noise performance compared to single-channel designs.
The reference design enables true portable TV using small low-gain portable TV aerials. Two Thomson* DTT 73000 series mini-tuners* are used, providing a compact layout for space-constrained designs, without compromising performance.
This reference design is specifi cally designed for digital terrestrial network interface modules (TNIMs) or “on-motherboard” set top box/iDTV implementation. It allows customers to quickly and cost-effectively evaluate and implement DVB-T diversity-enhanced TV performance. Software is supported directly by Intel and each reference design is accompanied by comprehensive documentation and test results.
Intel® CE 9523 DVB-T Reference Design with Thomson* Mini-tuner
The Intel® CE 9523 DVB-T front-end reference design addresses the needs of the portable digital TV market segment. The two Intel® CE 6354 DVB-T COFDM demodulators are cascaded together. This builds on the performance of the single-channel NorDig Unifi ed Intel® CE 6353/5 demodulators by offering signifi cant carrier-to-noise improvement.
This performance enhancement enables the use of small antennas in portable TV applications.
Received digital terrestrial signals are down-converted via each Thomson tuner to the “on-board” Intel
CE 6354 DVB-T COFDM demodulators for channel coding to MPEG transport stream output. One Intel
CE 6354 COFDM demodulator is designated as the primary demodulator and the other Intel CE 6354
COFDM is the secondary demodulator. Each Intel CE 6354 COFDM demodulator contains a diversity
processor functional block between the channel coding and the forward error correction sections of the chip. In the case of the secondary Intel CE 6354 COFDM demodulator, this block outputs the transport stream to the processor of the primary demodulator for diversity performance enhancement.
The Intel CE 9523 DVB-T TNIM reference design kit is supplied with an Intel® CE 9594 interface board,
which only requires a single +5 V supply, all other power rails are generated on board. The Intel CE 9523
DVB-T reference design front-end solution is optimized for real in-fi eld terrestrial environmental conditions.

Intel’s First DVB-T COFDM Diversity-Enabled Terrestrial Demodulator
Product Overview
The Intel® CE 6354 DVB-T diversity demodulator builds on the high-performance standards set by
Intel’s CE 6355 NorDig Unifi ed 1.0.2 component by incorporating a maximum ratio combining (MRC)
processor that enables up to four Intel CE 6354 demodulators to be cascaded together. This feature
signifi cantly improves the signal-handling performance of the solution compared to single demodulator
designs, to facilitate portable “anywhere” TV reception.
The Intel CE 6354 diversity demodulator includes a high-performance 10-bit A/D converter capable
of accepting direct IF integrated digital filtering and requires only a single 8 MHz channel SAW filter for
6, 7 and 8 MHz COFDM signal reception, plus a 7-bit ADC for RF level indication. An advanced hard-wired
on-chip state machine controls all acquisition and tracking operations, minimizing software overhead and resulting in fast auto-scan and auto-signal re-acquisition. The Intel CE 6354 diversity demodulator also features excellent single-frequency network SFN performance, unique auto active-impulse noise filtering and very low power consumption, including software/hardware power-down mode.
Terrestrial Receiver Application Intel supports the Intel CE 6354 DVB-T diversity demodulator with a two-device reference design that lets you quickly evaluate the improved performance offered by diversity over single demodulator operation.
Each board includes complete documentation and test results, with software supported directly by Intel. Our DVB-T reference designs offer excellent signal-handling performance at very low power consumption.
The Intel CE 6354 DVB-T diversity demodulator has a unique on-chip dedicated tuner drive engine, ideal for the control of MOPLL-based RF tuner designs. This significantly reduces the tuner control software overhead and results in very fast frequency channel-scan performance. For the non- MOPLL-based tuner, the Intel CE 6354 demodulator incorporates a 2-wire bus “bypass mode” that enables direct unrestricted programming.
The Intel CE 6354 DVB-T diversity demodulator accepts the classic TV IF frequencies of 36/44 MHz and low-IF down to 4.57 MHz. It provides tuner IF AGC control, and RF AGC read using a 7-bit ADC for calculated RF signal-strength indication. The Intel CE 6354 DVB-T demodulator’s integrated digital filter reduces the bill of materials by eliminating the need for multi-bandwidth SAW IF channel filters. It provides 6, 7 and 8 MHz operation using a single 8 MHz SAW filter. Driven by high-level commands and featuring full automation, the Intel CE 6354 DVB-T demodulator can be directly interfaced in parallel or serial modes to all standard MPEG-2 processing chips.
