MSD7C51K-S03-L2 MSTAR EPLQFP-156

The MSD7C51K is a highly integrated, low-cost and high performance SoC for cable and IP client high-definition
STB (Set-Top Box) applications with conditional access (CA). It is configured with a DVB-C demodulator, a
transport stream processor with different types of descrambler needed for different CA systems, single
smartcard interface and a multi-format audio and video decoder which is capable of decoding MPEG-1/2/4,
H.264 (ISO/IEC 14496-10), VC-1 and RealMedia formats. It has a digital video encoder of supporting CVBS,
S-Video, YPbPr SD and HD output. For HD digital output, the MSD7C51K also has a built-in HDMI 1.3
transmitter.

For conditional access (CA) and digital right management (DRM) applications, the MSD7C51K provides a very

secure architecture for protecting any security information in a CA/DRM system. It provides a secure boot
loader which includes a programmable OTP ROM and a hardware-controlled key management unit that can
fulfill the requirements from different CA and DRM systems.

For multimedia and network applications, the MSD7C51K includes one USB 2.0 host and a 10/100 Mbps

Ethernet controller making it possible for the MSD7C51K to decode and record media files via those sources
from both network and external storage devices. With built-in high performance MIPS34K CPU and DDR2/DDR3
SDRAM controller, the MSD7C51K can fulfill the requirement of modern multimedia and network applications.
