MT101 IP core is a programmable, Multi Standard DTV and Mobile TV demodulation solution. The MT101 is built around ASOCS' ModemX multi-core DSP platform, enabling the scale up or down to support any number of TV standards concurrently as well as diversity of two or more antennas. The core is optimized for integration in a 3rd party SoC.
The MT101 includes a complete demodulator core from the tuner interfaces (LOW IF and Complex baseband I/Q), via demodulation and error correction, to output of the relevant streams. It also includes the SW driver supporting all the TV standards. The core can be interfaced to several RF chips concurrently.
The MT101 provides small silicon area and low power consumption competitive with dedicated hardware, making it ideal for applications such as Mobile TV, Digital TV and Set-top boxes.
