BCM7328

Single-Chip Satellite Set-Top Dual TV Decoder with Integrated 8PSK

The BCM7328 is the second-generation of Broadcom's Dual Decode/Dual TV set-top box system on a chip. The BCM7328 integrates Broadcom's field-proven BCM4500 8PSK/TC Demodulator technology, as well as technology derived from Broadcom's cable products (such as the BCM7115 cable single-chip).

The BCM7328 memory subsystem is a unified memory architecture, (UMA), utilizing a 150-MHz Double Data Rate (DDR) memory interface that supports either 16-bit or 32-bit wide, depending on required system performance.
