Description
The AT76C651B is a DVB-compliant Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) demodulation circuit, which can be used in DVB and other applications using Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) or QAM transmission systems. The signal, after output from tuner and adjacent channels rejection filter, is sampled at Intermediate Frequency (IF).
The AT76C651B signal is converted to digital format and goes through several processing steps required for demodulation: automatic gain control, baseband down conversion, timing recovery with anti-aliasing filtering, square root raised-cosine receive filtering, carrier recovery and digital gain control and equalization (linear and decision feedback dual structure). The output from demodulation then goes through forward error decoding: DVB/DAVIC de-mapping, frame synchronization, de-interleaving, Reed-Solomon decoding and spectrum de-randomization. The output before decoding may also be output directly for use with post-processing devices AT76C651B in applications other than DVB. An additional block situated in the back-end may be used to filter out programmable PIDs, providing additional flexibility in interactive solutions or DVB data-broadcast PC receive cards.
AT76C651B is especially designed for modem implementations with a 24-bit mask on one PID (medium access control) and can be used for return channel implementation.
