SI2169-B40-GM

Video Processing Overview

The Skyworks SI2169-B40-GM is a multimedia digital demodulator integrating DVB-T2, T, C, S, and S2 standards into a single CMOS mixed-signal die. It operates with two power supplies: VDD_VCORE (1.14 to 1.30 V) and VDD_VANA/VDD_VIO (3.00 to 3.60 V). The device supports an input clock reference of 4 to 30 MHz and utilizes a 7x7 mm QFN-48 pin package.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Integrates DVB-T2/T/C/S/S2 demodulators with independent differential IF inputs for terrestrial/cable tuners and ZIF I/Q inputs for satellite tuners.
• Features on-chip blind scanning algorithms for DVB-S/S2 and DVB-C standards alongside DiSEqC 2.x interface support.
• Provides flexible transport stream interfaces compatible with MPEG decoders and conditional access modules.

Video Processing Applications

• Integrated digital television (iDTV) set-top boxes
• Network Interface Modules (NIM)
• Advanced multimedia STB systems
• PC-TV accessories and PVR/DVD recorders
