Description
The STiH207 uses the latest process technology
to provide a cost-effective, feature rich, highly
integrated SoC for Set-Top Boxes (STBs). It is
targeted at the advanced decoding STB market
across all networks
(Cable/Satellite/DTT/x-DSL/IP) worldwide and is
suitable both for operator markets (with advanced
security) and retail markets.
The STiH207 provides a solution for operators
and manufacturers to specify a range of costeffective, high performance STBs including basic
zappers, interactive STBs, IP clients, and DVR
STBs with content delivery possible using
broadcast or broadband networks or both (Hybrid
STBs).

Introduction STiH207
1 Introduction
The STiH207 offers current users of ST’s growing family of advanced decoding ICs
enhancements in performance and features, enabling operators to offer consumers new
multimedia-rich services and viewing experiences, including new 3DTV features. Faster
DDR3 memory is also supported, and the applications CPU benefits from an L2 cache. The
STiH207 keeps pace with the latest advanced security requirements of the main CA
vendors, and an integrated standby controller enables the STiH207 to target stringent low
power regulations.
Features Benefits
ST40 applications CPU, with 32KI and 32KD L1
caches and 256K L2 cache.
Integrated low power standby controller within its
own power island.
Latest generation of ST's Delta video decoder
with an ST231-based multi-codec capable
controller, coupled with a High Quality Video
Display Pipeline (HQVDP).
Dual USB 2.0 hosts, eSATA, Ethernet MAC with
MII/RMII/TMII interfaces, PCI-e, SD-MMC/SDIO
interface.
Decoding of 1080p60 AVC, dual HD AVC and
MVC SHP video streams.
NOCS1.0/1.1/1.2/3.0, NSK2.0 and DVB-CSA3
ready.
1. Frequency for extended mode to be confirmed after silicon characterization.
High performance processing up to 1020 DMIPS
for applications and middleware.
Secure hibernation to, and fast resume from, very
low power passive standby mode, targeting STB
standby power < 0.5 W.
Decoding of advanced high definition standards
(MPEG2, H264, VC-1, AVS) plus the performance
and flexibility for web-based content decoding such
as Flash
impacting applications CPU performance.
Extensive high speed connectivity for the widest
range of STB peripherals, such as Flash drives,
external HDDs, Ethernet, home network controllers
(such as MoCA
memory cards.
Enables advanced high-definition viewing
experiences including full resolution per eye 3DTV,
full-HD 2D services and HD picture-in-picture
support (HD-PIP).
Fully compliant with the latest advanced security
requirements of CA vendors.
