Description
The AT76C651B is a DVB-compliant Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)
demodulation circuit, which can be used in DVB and other applications using Quadra-
ture 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 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 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.
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.
