BCM7405
Multi-Format HD Digital Video/Audio SOC for Satellite, IP and Cable DVR STBs with Watch-and-Record DVR

The BCM7405 is a high-performance, high definition (HD) satellite, cable, and IP set-top box DVR System-on-Chip solution. It combines a fast 1000-DMIPS MIPS32/MIPS16e™-class CPU, high-speed graphics processing, including video scaling and motion adaptive deinterlacing, a very flexible data transport processor, an MPEG-4/VC-1/MPEG-2/AVS-compliant video decoder, a programmable audio decoder, six video DACs, stereo high-fidelity audio DACs, dual Fast Ethernet ports, one with integrated PHY, triple USB 2.0, a PCI 2.3/Expansion Bus, a high-speed 400-Mhz DDR2 memory controller, and a peripheral control unit that provides a variety of set-top box control functions. Integrated in 65- nm technology, it offers one of the highest levels of single-chip system performance available for STB applications.

The MPEG-2 DVB-compliant transport stream/PES parser and demultiplexer is capable of simultaneously processing 256 PIDs via 128 PID channels in up to six independent external transport stream inputs and two internal playback channels. All 128 PID channels can be used by the record, audio, and video interface engine (RAVE), PCR processing, message filter, and output via the high-speed transport or remux module. The data transport module can be configured to support eight record channels for PVR functionality and six A/V channels to interface to audio and video decoders.

The transport provides 1DES/3DES/DVB/Multi2/AES descrambling support. A memory-to-memory DMA security module may be programmed for  AES/1DES/3DES/CSS/CPRM/CPPM/DTCP copy protection algorithms/standards. The BCM7405 features the Broadcom Secure Processor (BSP), providing secure key generation, management, and protection. The BSP also supports downloadable security A new video decoder is featured in the BCM7405 that is capable of simultaneous decode of an HD and SD stream with picture-in-picture display. Other Mosaic or tiled stream combinations can also be supported for an enhanced video-rich navigation user experience. DivX 3.11/4.11/ 5.x and MPEG-4 Part 2 Simple profile and Advanced Simple profile at Level 5 are additionally supported.

The BCM7405 has an advanced audio processor capable of decoding a wide range of digital audio formats. This audio decoder also supports a number of popular transcoding operations such as AAC to DTS 5.1 or AC3+ to AC3.

The BCM7405’s video and graphics processing features significantly improved scaling and blending performance, enabling real-time video-like graphics effects to be implemented. Digital contour reduction improves the video quality of low-bit-rate AVC/AVS video. An ITU-R- 656 output port is also provided with a teletext sideband. The 1000-DMIPS MIPS32™ CPU has been designed to maximize overall system performance and has significantly improved cache performance over previous-generation devices. The CPU subsystem also includes a Floating Point Unit.

Integrated peripherals include three UARTS, dual ISO7816 SmartCard interfaces, counter/timers, GPIO ports, a LED/keypad controller, IR receivers, an IR blaster, a UHF remote control receiver, an integrated soft modem system side device, and serial controllers.
