Description

The Broadcom® BCM3510 is a VSB/QAM digital receiver which is compatible with both North American digital cable television and digital terrestrial broadcast television standards. BCM3510 is capable of receiving all standard-definition and high-definition digital television formats (SDTV/HDTV).

This second-generation Broadcom VSB receiver of BCM3510 implements significant performance and feature improvements. Performance has been enhanced in several key areas including equalizer, gain control, and adjacent and co-channel rejection. These improvements were developed based on more than one year of field trial and deployment of the BCM3500. Feature improvements include an upgraded embedded microcontroller to handle acquisition, reacquisition and monitoring tasks while offering users a simplified, high-level application programmer interface.
