front-end, including cable modem functions. * Universal front-end supports the ITU-T J.83 Annex A/B/C as well as OpenCable, DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS and DVB/DAVIC. * DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 1.1-based media access controller (MAC) supports Voice over IP and high-speed Internet access capability. * DAVIC 1.2/1.5 MAC supports conditional access systems and lower data rate services. * BCM3250, together with BCM7020/BCM7030 Video Decoder and Graphics Engine, provide a two-chipset solution for OpenCable applications. Includes second in-band channel pass through for picture-inpicture functionality and multiple camera angles. Integration of all analog functions leads to lower system cost and improved performance. Single upstream transmitter is shared between modem and upstream interactive video commands, eliminating the need for a second upstream channel. Integrated peripheral control unit supports required set-top box peripherals without additional external devices.

The Broadcom BCM3250 combines dual 256-QAM receivers, a 4/16QAM burst transmitter, an out-of-band QPSK receiver, a DOCSIS/ EuroDOCSIS 1.1 based MAC, and a DAVIC 1.2/1.5 compliant MAC integrated into a single chip. The BCM3250 is the world's first complete front-end solution with an integrated DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 1.1 MAC to address the next generation of OpenCable/interactive set-top boxes. Quality of Service (QoS) and fragmentation are supported for additional applications, such as telephony and high-speed Internet access. The dual receivers in the BCM3250 directly sample a 36-44 MHz carrier frequency with a l0-bit A/D converter, which is preceded by a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). Two distinct forward error correction (FEC) methods are supported in each receiver. The first standard, ITU-T J.83 Annex A/C, is also referred to as the DVB or DAVIC standard. The second, ITU-T J.83 Annex B, is variously known as DigiCipher II(R) and SCTE DVS-031. The out-of-band (OOB) receiver in the BCM3250 contains a frequency agile oscillator that can down convert any channel in the 70-130 MHz frequency range to a SAW centered IF. The desired channel is then subsampled by a 6-bit A/D converter at a rate that is more than four times the symbol rate. OOB data can be passed through or terminated by the DAVIC MAC or message processor. On the upstream channel, the BCM3250 provides complete Starvue II, Annex B, and DAVIC compatible 4/16-QAM upstream burst FEC
encoder and modulator functionality. In the final stage, an on-chip 10bit DAC converts the signal to an analog waveform with programmable output power levels. The DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 1.1 MAC includes baseline privacy encryption and decryption, transmission convergence sublayer support, a TDM/TDMA framer and a scatter/gather DMA interface. The MAC in the BCM3250 also includes fragmentation, concatenation, and multiple SIDs, enabling full support for Quality of Service applications such as Voice over IP. The DAVIC 1.2/1.5 MAC enables the BCM3250 to operate in DAVICcentric conditional access systems. It supports Extended Super Frame (ESF) parsing on the downstream and upstream timing/synchronization. Hardware also performs data filtering and SAR functions. The BCM3250 also provides a peripheral control unit consisting of a keypad controller, LED controller, IR receiver and transmitter controller. In addition, dual UARTs, a generic I/O port controller, an interrupt controller, and an RF tuner controller are included. The high level of integration of the BCM3250 provides the lowest system cost for the next generation of interactive set-top boxes. The BCM3250, along with the BCM7038, provides a complete interactive set-top box solution with advanced graphics capabilities.
