The DMA 2271, DMA 2280, and DMA 2281 C/D/
D2–MAC Decoders
1. Introduction
1.1. General Information
Digital real–time signal processor for processing C/D/
D2–MAC video, sound, and data signals digitized by the
VCU 2133 Video Codec in digital CTV receivers accord-
ing to
INTERMETALL's
DIGIT 2000 system of or in ana
-
log CTV re
ceivers or in stand–alone C/D/D2–MAC de
-
coders (see
Figs. 1–1 to 1–3).
In order to receive TV channels transmitted via satellite
or cable network using the newly established C/D/
D2–MAC standards instead of PAL or SECAM, decod-
ers are required for decoding the TV video and sound
signals. The DMA 2271, DMA 2280, and DMA 2281 are
suitable for this purpose, in conjunction with the DIGIT
2000 digital TV system and also for stand–alone solu-
tions.
The DMA 2271 is only able to decode D2–MAC/packet
signals, in contrast to the DMA 2280 which decodes D–
MAC/packet signals and the DMA 2281 which decodes
D2, D or C–MAC/packet signals.
The DMA 2271, DMA 2280, and DMA 2281 are a pro-
grammable circuits, produced in CMOS technology and
housed in a 68–pin PLCC package. These decoders
contain on a single silicon chip the following functions
(see Fig. 1–4):
– code converter
– circuitry for clamping, AGC and PLL
– chroma and luma store for expansion of the MAC sig-
nal
– chroma and luma interpolating filter
– contrast multiplier with limiter for the luminance signal
– color saturation multiplier with multiplexer
– duobinary decoder (data slicer)
– synchronization
– descrambler and de–interleaver
– packet linker
– packet 0 buffer
– sound decoder and sound multiplexer
– IM bus interface circuit for communicating with the
CCU
1.2. Environment
Fig. 1–1 shows the block diagram of a digital CTV receiv-
er system DIGIT 2000, equipped with C/D/D2–MAC and
Teletext, and suited for the PAL and SECAM standards.
Stand–alone C/D/D2–MAC decoders are shown in Figs.
1–2 and 1–3. These two versions can either be inte-
grated into analog CTV receivers, or can serve as
stand–alone C/D/D2–MAC decoders.
