Mobile TV SoC tunes in to Japan's ISDB-T standard

Newport Media is sampling an SoC for the mobile version of Japan's ISDB-T DTV standard.

The NMI320 Sundance J mobile DTV receiver integrates an RF tuner, demodulator and all required memory in a single monolithic CMOS device that will enable designers to build small, power-efficient handsets.

Key features of the NMI320 include up to 120dB of variable gain, 50dB of image rejection and above 55dB of adjacent channel selectivity. The device consumes 70mW of power and combines a low 3dB noise figure with a high 20dBm IP3.

The monolithic chip includes a dual-band radio, an ISDB-T One-Seg and Three-Seg demodulator, plus all necessary memory in a very small footprint.

Pricing starts at $8 per unit in 10,000-piece quantities. Samples are available now.
