Introduction STi7110FTA
2/4 Doc ID 18075 Rev 1
1 Introduction
The STi7110FTA uses ST’s state-of-the-art process technology to provide a low-cost, full-
featured advanced decoding HD set-top box SoC. It is a highly integrated solution suitable
for DVB-S2 and DVB-S set-top box markets worldwide.
The STi7110FTA provides a solution for operators to specify a range of low-cost HD STBs
including low-cost DVB-S2 Zappers, interactive STBs and DVR capable STBs. The
STi7110FTA is optimized for IP-TV and home networking applications with integrated DVB,
DES, AES and Multi2 descramblers and smartcard interfaces. The STi7110FTA offers
enhancements in performance, features and integration to current users of ST’s HD AVC
family of audio/video decoders, whilst reducing cost and time-to-market for the next
generation of deployments.
Features Benefits
Combines a QPSK demodulator with STB
decoding and display functions
This highly integrated SoC helps to reduce board
area and manufacturing cost, allowing low-cost
and small size STBs to be designed.
ST40-300 applications CPU,
32K I cache, 32K D cache
Superscalar performance from a single CPU core,
using standard tools and operating systems (Linux,
OS21).
STMicroelectronics' video decoding system Decoding of advanced high-definition standards for
MPEG2, H264, VC-1 broadcast, with the
performance and flexibility for web-based content
decoding such as Flash, DivX, MJPEG and Real.
USB 2.0 hosts, Ethernet MAC with MII/RMII and
TMII, interfaces, PCI interface
Extensive high-speed connectivity for the widest
range of STB peripherals, such as Flash drives,
external HDDs, home network controllers (for
example MoCA, Wi-Fi), DOCSIS modem and so
on.
Low-power process, design and architecture Best in class, low-power standby mode, to meet
emerging energy standards for STBs. Dynamic
configuration of power to individual subsystems
enables power-efficient active standby modes.
Advanced 2D graphics and display subsystem Allows visually appealing user interfaces and video
rich navigation to be offered to consumers, while
high-quality progressive output can be watched on
the latest high-definition displays.
