Description
The AT76C651 is a DVB-compliant Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) demod-
ulation 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 externally sampled at IF
frequency.
The signal is converted to digital format by an analog-to-digital converter 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 equaliza-
tion (linear and decision feedback dual structure). The output from demodulation then
goes through forward error decoding: DVB/DAVIC de-mapping, frame synchroniza-
tion, de-interleaving, Reed-Solomon decoding and spectrum de-randomization. The
output before decoding may also be output directly for use with post-processing
devices in applications other than DVB.
An additional block situated in the back-end may be used to filter out programmable
PIDs, which provides additional flexibility in interactive solutions or DVB data-broad-
cast PC receive cards. It 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.
