NXP Launches NorDig-compliant System-level STB Solution

(Product News, 6 Jun 2008)

NXP Semiconductors has launched the STB100 T21 reference board, the first full digital terrestrial system-level solution to have passed the NorDig 1.0.3 verification test process. The NorDig 1.0.3 compliance will ensure that the STB100 reference board is capable of spectacular digital reception and offers OEMs a simple, well-designed, affordable set-top box solution. For consumers, NXP's validated STB100 will, in turn, deliver superior picture and sound quality on mainstream set-top-boxes.

NXP's STB100 T21 reference board incorporates the highly integrated silicon tuner TDA18211; the channel decoder for digital terrestrial reception, TDA10048; and the Nexperia MPEG source decoder, PNX8300. These fulfill the RF performance requirements under the NorDig Unified Specification 1.0.3., as tested and verified in Teracom's laboratory in Sweden. Ideal for mainstream free-to-air or pay television, the STB100 is a dedicated solution for single-channel digital STB "Zapper Boxes" and iDTV systems.

Key features of NXP's STB100 T21 reference board include:
- A low-power, 24-bit stereo audio DAC
- On-board front panel (LED + IR receiver)
- RGB, CVBS and S-video outputs
- Optional smart card mounting
- External or internal power supply
- Customized remote control
- SPDIF digital audio output
