Micronas launches SD, HD digital terrestrial demodulator for Chinese TV standard
Aug 7, 2008 8:00 AM
Micronas has announced the DRX 398yZ family of digital terrestrial demodulators targeted at the growing digital television market in China.
The DRX 398yZ demodulates high-definition and standard-definition television signals according to China’s GB20600-2006 standard, which is also known as Digital Television Multimedia Broadcast (DTMB). The chip is highly integrated and is optimal for applications including set-top boxes, PVRs, IDTVs, Network Interface Modules (NIMs), USB-TV sticks and PC-TV cards.
Micronas’ DRX 398yZ DTMB demodulator supports automatic detection of single-carrier and multi-carrier modes and offers excellent reception performance for both modes. In a single-carrier system, this is achieved via the integrated time-domain equalizer implementing an adaptive decision-feedback algorithm. In a multi-carrier system, this is done via the frequency domain equalizer in cooperation with the advanced channel estimator.
