The MT312 is a QPSK/BPSK 1 to 45MBaud
demodulator and channel decoder for digital satellite
television transmissions to the European Broadcast
Union ETS 300 421 speci鏗乧ation (ref. 1). It receives
analogue I and Q signals from the tuner, digitises
and digitally demodulates this signal, and
implements the complete DVB/DSS FEC (Forward
Error Correction), and de-scrambling function. The
output is in the form of MPEG2 or DSS transport
stream data packets. An external MPEG clock input
is provided for synchronisation to MPEG decoders
and DVB Common Interface Modules. The MT312
also provides automatic gain control to the RF front-
end devices.
The MT312 has a serial 2-wire bus interface to the
control microprocessor. Minimal software is required
to control the MT312 because of the built in
automatic search and decode control functions.
