design of ETSI EN302755 compliant receivers with performance exceeding DTG Dbook 7.0 requirements. The
device integrates a house keeping microcontroller that takes care of all real time and algorithmic tasks simplifying
the host control interface.
The MSB101A front end can accept tuners that provide IF, low IF output. A high rejection channel filter has been
included easing the channel filtering requirement of the tuner whilst still meeting the stringent requirements foradjacent channel interference. The MSB101A may be clocked directly using a crystal, typically 24MHz.
The MSB101A is capable of blind acquisition of DVB-T and T2 signals. All parameters may be detected in this
mode enabling fast and accurate auto scanning. Its frequency recovery circuit is capable of compensating for alltypical tuner and broadcast frequency errors.
For DVB-T, a novel impulsive interference filter has been implemented to remove impulsive interference without
affecting normal operation thus reducing the effects of transient interference known to affect the quality of OFDMdigital TV reception.
