Our integrated circuits and reference designs help you create a smaller, smarter and more efficient set-top box (STB) and digital video recorder (DVR) system that receives and converts digital television (TV) signals from terrestrial, cable, or satellite sources for output/playback to high definition (HD) and ultra-high definition (UHD) TVs.
Design requirements
Modern STB and DVR designs often require:
- More efficient power management with ultra-low standby.
- Smaller, robust systems for reliable long-term usage.
- Scalability to adapt to new high-bandwidth technology while maintaining backwards compatibility with older TVs.
- Additional functionality to play a larger role in the new "smart" home entertainment and automation ecosystem.
