12.9. STV0360
12.9.1. General Description
The STV0360 is a single-chip COFDM (coded orthogonal frequency division multiplex) demodulator that
performs IF to MPEG-2 block processing of OFDM carriers. It is intended for digital terrestrial receivers for
compressed video, sound and data services.
The chip implements all the functions from the tuner IF output up to the MPEG-2 transport stream input.
The STV0360 is fully compliant with the DVB-T specification (ETS 300 744) and handles 2K/8K modes.
The STV0360 integrates an A/D converter that delivers the required performance to handle up to 64 QAM
carriers in a direct IF sampling architecture, thus eliminating the need for an external down-converter. The
chip also integrates an internal programmable gain amplifier (PGA) to compensate for SAW filter level
degradation, thus eliminating the need for external IF amplifiers. A 10-bit ADC, intended for RF signal
strength indication, eliminates the need for external components when using wide-band AGC tuners.
In addition to all the demodulation and FEC (forward error correction) functions required for recovery of the
QAM modulated bit streams with very low BER, it also includes several features that give easy and
immediate access to various quality monitoring parameters or lock status. The STV0360 also provides
output such as delayed AGC or noise-free I²C bus dedicated to tuner control, which facilitates the design of
high quality integrated receiver decoders.
The STV0360 outputs error-corrected MPEG-2 transport streams and complies with the DVB common
interface format, with programmable data clock frequency. It also interfaces seamlessly with the packet de-
multiplexers embedded in the STi55xx Omega family of single-chip decoders.
