IC Secures Digital i.LINK Transmissions

Protection for digital content transmitted between digital electronic products, such as digital set-top boxes, DVD players, digital video recorders, and digital television sets, is provided with the i.LINK LSI CXD3200 family. The IC supports the secure, two-way transmission of digital content across the i.LINK interface at speeds of up to 200 Mbps. Designed for use in a wide variety of digital electronics products, the chip reduces the load on the system's microprocessor by internally encrypting and decrypting AV content, such as MPEG data streams. This allows for robust, high-speed protection of high bandwidth content such as video and animation. The CXD3201R, packaged in a 144-pin LQPF and using a 3.3V power supply, is best suited for low-power applications.
