DESCRIPTION
STMicroelectronics sets a new standard for perfomance, price and integration in the single chip MPEG-2 set-top box decoder market with the introduction of the STM5105. Targeting low-cost, single tuner STB applications, the STM5105’s DDR memory interface both reduces system costs and minimises overall system latency, ensuring the new device can support the most demanding interactive TV applications and middlewares. The integration of VCXO and audio DACs ensures that manufacturers using the STM5105 cut their bill of materials and significantly simplify board design and assembly. Figure 1.
