SI2167-D60-GMR

Video Processing Overview

The SI2167-D60-GMR is a digital TV demodulator integrating first and second generation DVB standards (DVB-T/C/S/S2/S2X) on a single CMOS die. It supports QPSK, 8PSK, and APSK modulation formats with roll-off factors from 0.05 to 0.35. The device operates with two power supplies: VDD_VCORE at 1.2V and VDD_VANA/VDD_VIO at 3.3V. Input clock reference ranges from 4 to 30 MHz, while supported crystal frequencies are 16 to 30 MHz. Symbol rates vary by standard, supporting up to 7.2 MSymbol/s for DVB-C and up to 45 MSymbol/s for satellite standards.
