STMicroelectronics’ STi7167 enables entry-level ‘zapper’ boxes using fewer components, saving bill-of-materials and assembly costs. Capable of receiving Internet-TV, cable or terrestrial signals, the chip integrates H.264/MPEG 2 decoder as well as user-selectable DVB-C and DVB-T demodulators—allowing product developers to re-use existing software for designs using the proven STi7105, thereby lowering development and support costs and also shortening time to market.
The STi7167 is available in a 27x27mm BGA package and has a passive standby power consumption of less than 200mW.
