design of ETSI EN302 307 and ETSI EN300 421 compliant receivers with performance exceeding requirements of
many test specifications. The device integrates a house keeping microcontroller that takes care of all real time and
algorithmic tasks simplifying the host control interface.
The MSB1310 front end can accept tuners that provide ZIF 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 MSB1310 may be clocked directly using a crystal, typically 24MHz or may take
a reference clock from another stable source such as the tuner.
The MSB1310 is capable of blind acquisition of DVB-S and S2 signals. Most parameters can 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-S, 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 digitalTV reception.
The development platform may be supplied as a complete system solution for STB applications including a silicon
tuner and source decoder.
