Introduction	STi5206

1 Introduction

The STi5206 is targeted at the latest operator and CE manufacturer requirements for STB markets across all networks (cable/satellite/DTT/x-DSL/IP) worldwide.

The STi5206 provides a solution for operators to specify a range of low-cost SD STBs including low-cost zappers, interactive STBs and DVR-capable STBs, with content delivery possible using satellite broadcast or broadband networks, or both (Hybrid STBs).

The STi5206 is optimized for secure Pay-TV applications with integrated DVB, DES, AES, Multi-2 and ICAM descramblers and smartcard interfaces.

The STi5206 offers enhancements in performance, features and integration to current users of ST’s SD AVC family of audio/video decoders, while reducing cost and time-to-market for the next generation deployments.

Features

Serial Flash based secure boot and code storage, integrated voltage regulator,

23 mm × 23 mm PBGA package

ST40 applications CPU, 32K I cache, 32K D cache

STMicroelectronics’ video decoding system

Dual USB 2.0 hosts, Ethernet MAC with MII/RMII and TMII, PCI, SD-MMC/SDIO

Low-power process, design and architecture

Advanced 2D graphics and display subsystem and 480p/576p display output

Benefits

Enables further BOM optimization and cost reduction of advanced decoding SD STBs

Superscalar performance from a single CPU core, using standard tools and operating systems (Linux, OS21)

Decoding of advanced standard definition MPEG2, H264 and VC-1/WMV9 streams, with the performance and flexibility for web-based content decoding such as Flash, DivX, MJPEG and Real

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), memory cards

Best-in-class, low-power standby mode, to meet emerging energy standards for STBs. Dynamic configuration of power to individual sub-systems enables power-efficient active standby modes

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 displays
