DRX 39xyK
Multistandard Demodulator for Analog TV / DVB-T / DVB-C
General Description
The Trident DRX 39xyK is a unique, multistandard, 3-in-1 demodulator. Designed for a wide range of hybrid receiver applications, the DRX 39xyK demodulates analog/ DVB-T/DVB-C television broadcast signals. Versions with optional integrated audio demodulator and stereo decoder are available as well. Supported standards include worldwide analog broadcast (ATV), DVB-C (ITU-T J.83, annex A, C) and DVB-T (ETS 300744).
The DRX 39xyK combines existing, field proven Trident demodulator IP into a single-chip device. The IF-input signal is demodulated and output as either Transport Stream (TS), or analog CVBS and SIF signals. Versions with the optional integrated stereo decoder provide digital audio via standard I2S interface.
The DRX 39xyK provides significant PCB real estate benefits. Combining three demodulators into a single chip, Trident offers the world’s smallest multistandard hybrid demodulator in a QFN64 package (9×9 mm).
The DRX 39xyK is a member of the Trident DRX family, offering pin- and SW driver compatibility to the Trident DRX 394yJ (NTSC/ATSC/QAM demodulator).
Designed with the complete system solution in mind, DRX 39xyK enables highly optimized adjacent channel performance by integrating a broadband input power detector. The API-based software interface enables effortless implementation into any system. Compatibility with existing Trident demodulator products reduces engineering costs by maximizing the re-use of existing software and product experience.
