INTERFACE CONTROLLER
CXD1969
Customer Requirements Specification
DESCRIPTION
The CXD1969 is an ‘Plug & Play’ and OpenCable
TM
CableCARD
interface controller IC designed for use with
OpenCable
TM
compliant CableCARD
TM
modules. It performs
the communication interface between a host microcontroller
and the CableCARD
TM
. The IC communicates to the Host
either by a 68k-type or I
2
C connection. Communication
between the CXD1969 and the CableCARD
is highly efficient
due to the inclusion of a fully integrated hardware Physical
layer.
MPEG2 Transport Stream interfaces are fully programmable
ensuring compatibility to commonly used Front End
demodulators and MPEG2 decoders.
A SCTE 28 compliant software stack is also available for this
device.
100 pin Plastic LQFP
