High Definition Satellite System-on-Chip with Integrated DVB-S2
The BCM7325 is Broadcom's next-generation satellite set-top box system on a single chip in 65 nm process. It integrates a single tuner/demodulator from the BCM4506 front-end technology and the latest generation of AVC decoder that supports multiple video formats. The BCM7325 supports worldwide standards for DBS transmission systems based on DVB-S2, 8PSK, and is backward compatible with the DVB-S standards.
The BCM7325 operates on a multi-threaded MIPS CPU core running at 333 MHz and yielding over 525 DMIPS in performance. The BCM7325 is designed with 32-bit wide Double Data Rate (DDR2) memory I/F for enhanced performance and allows cost-effective memory solutions. The BCM7325 supports UMA and non-UMA memory architectures, utilizing a 400 MHz clock.
