SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
• Presents a high-performance, integrated solution for modulators in
digital cable-TV head-end, DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem termination
systems (CMTS), digital microwave radio, SMATV and MMDS
applications.
• An integrated solution that reduces board space and costs with:
• On-chip 64K static RAM to eliminate external RAM
• Integrated 10-bit DAC with power control
• Additional burst modulator for out-of-band signaling
• Small footprint to enable high-density equipment
• Improves bandwidth efficiency through 512/1024-QAM modulation.
• Enables advanced digital services over narrow RF channels.
• Supports North American, European and Asian modulator standards
enabling a single design for worldwide application.
• Programmable analog IF outputs up to 100 MHz simplifies image
rejection filters.
• Programmable high-granularity digital output options remove the
need for SAW filters in final RF stage while providing designers
multiple options in DAC selection.
• Advanced functions deploy in harsh environments.
• Distributed CMTS in Hybrid Fiber Coaxial Fiber Node
