BROADCOM BCM45308 system-on-a-chip (SoC) satellite set-top box (STB) solution delivers a boost in performance, lower power and support for the new DVB-S2X broadcast standard. Device integrates Full Band Capture (FBC) technology to provide satellite operators with more efficient video and IP service distribution to subscribers’ connected devices throughout the home. Device simplifies system design and cost by integrating dual FBC Analog Digital Converters (ADCs) and up to eight demodulators in a single chip. The inclusion of FBC technology and DVB-S2X demodulators allows operators to digitize the entire 250-2350 MHz spectrum and provide flexible bandwidth deployment and tuning function in the digital domain, which enables a drastic reduction of tuner area and power.
