Introduction

The STi7167 is targeted at the latest Operator and CE manufacturer requirements for STBs

that use advanced HD decoding (H264/VC-1/MPEG2), and which conform to DVB, ISMA,

ATIS-IIF, SCTE, ATSC, ARIB, CEA, ITU, OpenCable and MSTV specifications.

The STi7167 provides a solution for operators to specify a range of low-cost, high

performance HD STBs including low-cost zappers, IP clients, interactive STBs, DVR

standalone and DVR server/home network-capable STBs, and with content delivery

possible using broadcast or broadband networks, or both (hybrid STBs). The STi7167 keeps

pace with the latest conditional access, DRM and trusted platform requirements of major

operators worldwide by incorporating the latest generation of advanced security features.

The STi7167 offers current users of ST’s growing family of advanced decoding ICs

enhancements in performance and features, while reducing cost and time-to-market for the

next generation deployments.

Features

Benefits

Combines a configurable DVB-C/DVB-T

demodulator with STB decoding and display

functions

This highly integrated SoC helps to reduce board

area and manufacturing cost, allowing low cost and

small size STBs to be designed for either DVB-C or

DVB-T networks

ST40-300 applications CPU @450MHz,

32K I cache, 32K D cache

Up to 800DMIPs superscalar performance from a

single CPU core, using standard tools and

operating systems (Linux, OS21)

STMicroelectronics' DELTA video decoding

system with ST231 processor

Decoding of advanced high definition standards for

MPEG2, H264, VC-1 broadcast, with the

performance and flexibility for web-based content

decoding such as Flash, DivX, MJPEG and Real

Dual USB 2.0 hosts, optional e-SATA,

Ethernet MAC with MII/RMII and TMII,

PCI

Extensive high speed connectivity for the widest

range of STB peripherals, such as Flash drives,

external HDDs, home network controllers (for

example MoCA, Wi-Fi), DOCSIS modem and so

on

Low power process, design and architecture

Best in class, low power standby mode, to meet

emerging energy standards for STBs. Dynamic

configuration of power to individual sub-systems

enables power-efficient active standby modes

Advanced 2D graphics and display subsystem

which also supports 3D user interface effects

and 1080p60 display output

Allows visually appealing user interfaces and video

rich navigation to be offered to consumers, while

high quality progressive output can be watched on

the latest high definition displays
