STM5118

Low-cost interactive FTA set-top box decoder

Rev. 1

DESCRIPTION

STMicroelectronics

sets

a

new

standard

for

performance, price and integration in the single chip

MPEG-2 set-top-box decoder market with the

introduction of the STM5118. This highly integrated

solution targets mass market FTA set-top boxes,

offers increased performance over earlier devices

and includes many features for further reduce

costs, including a unified memory architecture.

The STM5118 features the ST20 CPU that is

standard across the OMEGA range but boosts the

clock speed to 200 MHz which, when combined

with the 2D graphics engine gives the new device

outstanding graphics performances, for mosaic

composition, fast channel change time and richer

graphic content. Targeting low-cost, single tuner

STB applications, the STM5118 is hardware and

software binary compatible with the STx5105. This

allows manufacturers to use a unified platform for

all mass market set-top boxes.

The integration of the VCXO and audio DACs

ensures that manufacturers using the STM5118 will

cut their total bill of materials and significantly

simplify board design and assembly.
