Broadcom Corporation - BCM7316 - IP Set-Top Box Single-Chip Decoder

The BCM7316 is a fully integrated MPEG2 single-chip solution targeted specifically at the emerging IP-STB market. The BCM7316 integrates existing volume production technologies from within Broadcom's cable, satellite, and networking groups. By combining these technologies together, the BCM7316 offers a low-cost solution to satisfy the IP-STB marketplace. The BCM7316 design is based on unified memory architecture (UMA), utilizing a 133-MHz, 16- or 32-bit wide Double Data Rate (DDR) memory Interface for added system performance. The BCM7316 is capable of decoding transport streams delivered via the fully integrated 10/100 Mbit Ethernet Controller or via the SATA host Interface from an external hard disk drive, or from an external TS input source such as a DVB-C/S or T NIM.
