The Broadcom BCM3510 is a VSB/QAM digital receiver, compatible
with both North American digital cable television and digital terrestrial
broadcast television standards. The BCM3510 is capable of receiving all
Standard-Definition and High-Definition digital television formats
(SDTV/HDTV).
This second-generation Broadcom VSB receiver implements significant
performance and feature improvements. Performance is enhanced in
several key areas, including equalizer, gain control, and adjacent and co-
channel rejection. These improvements were developed using more than
one year of field trial and deployment of the BCM3500. Feature
improvements include an upgraded embedded microcontroller to handle
acquisition, reacquisition, and monitoring tasks, while offering users a
simplified, high-level application programmer interface.
The BCM3510 accepts an analog signal centered at the standard
television IF frequencies. The BCM3510 then amplifies and digitizes
this signal with an integrated programmable gain amplifier and 10-bit
A/D converter, and demodulates and filters the signal with a combined
64/256-QAM and 8-VSB demodulator. The integrated interpolation
filters enable variable symbol rates with fixed A/D sample rate. A second
stage of filters is provided for increased adjacent channel rejection
performance. The 496-tap equalizer and adaptive NTSC co-channel
rejection filter remove propagation effects and interference. The data is
error-corrected by the integrated trellis and Reed-Solomon decoders
supporting both the ATSC A/53 and ITU J.83 coding formats. The final
received data stream is delivered in either parallel or serial MPEG-2
transport format with a clock generated by an on-chip PLL. The output
interface is designed to operate with Broadcom's HDTV video and
graphics subsystem device, the BCM7020. All clock, carrier, and gain
acquisition and tracking loops are integrated on-chip, as are the
necessary phase-locked loops, referenced to a single external crystal.
The BCM3510 also contains an integrated microcontroller to greatly
simplify the system software development task and increase overall
performance through extensive monitoring and control functions. The
chip contains both on-chip RAM and ROM for design flexibility and low
cost implementations.
The BCM3510 implements all of the receiver functionality for both VSB
and QAM signals at no extra cost, creating a single system solution for
digital terrestrial and cable applications. This highly integrated device
includes an A/D converter and on-chip digital PLL to maximize system
performance while eliminating the need for expensive external
components. An innovative Broadcom NTSC co-channel rejection
system is designed to minimize signal loss experienced by traditional
comb filter designs, ensuring superior performance under the harshest
channel conditions. The BCM3510 contains a large equalizer to
compensate for the longest terrestrial multipath of up to 40 ms. All of
these advanced features are combined to meet or exceed all the
Advanced Television Testing Center Grand Alliance System test results.
