ATSC - 8VSB Modulator

Overview

The MVD ATSC core is a drop-in module for FPGA that includes the following functions:
- Input data framer from DVB-SPI source (MPEG-TS flow)
- ATSC modulator
- Energy dispersal
- Reed Solomon encoder
- Interleaver
- Trellis encoder
- VSB modulator
- Output for complex DAC (2x16bits)

The MVD ATSC modulator core is delivered for baseband output to be natively connected to AD9789 DAC from Analog Devices but can be used in Intermediate Frequency application (for Analog Devices (AD9744)) or in RF application when respectively connected to our UPSAMPLER or our PCONVERTER core (forAnalog Devices (AD9739A) or Maxim RF DACs (MAX5881))

Key Features

  • Drop-in module for Xilinx Spartan-6, Virtex-6, Artix-7, Kintex-7, Virtex-7, Zynq FPGAs
  • Single clock (up to 160 MHz)obust SPI input (discarding incorrect input packets)
  • PCR re-stamping
  • Complex baseband outputs (2 x 16 bits) @ Fsymbol rate
  • Fully synthetizable RTL VHDL design (not delivered) for easy customization
