STi5514

Set-top box decoder with hard disk drive capability

for digital TV, digital set-top box or cable box

®

Description

STMicroelectronics, the world leading supplier of

MPEG-2 decoders, offers a complete range of

integrated circuits for set-top box applications. The

STi5514 device integrates a 32-bit CPU, an MPEG-

2 decoder and many of the peripheral functions

required by today’s powerful STBs. Additionally, the

STi5514 can simultaneously demultiplex three

transport streams and manage multiple

descrambling modes and conditional access

standards, making it the ideal solution for low cost

STBs requiring DVR (digital video recorder)

functionality.

Together with the STi5516 and STi5517 devices,

the STi5514 provides a scalable STB decoding

solution reducing time to market for manufacturers

by making the reuse of hardware and software

components as easy as possible across a range of

products.

Complementing the STi5514, STMicroelectronics

has developed the STV0299, STV0297 and

STV0360 demodulator devices to deliver a

complete chipset offering for satellite, cable and

terrestrial STB requirements.

Application: Set-top box applications with digital video recorder (DVR) functionality
