Freiburg, Germany: The DRX3931J device, an 8VSB and QAM 64/256 demodulator with integrated IF amplifier, is claimed by Micronas as the smallest demodulator solution available. Offered in a 7 by 7mm, 48-pin QFN package, it represents an 80% reduction in size versus similar solutions, says the company.
The DRX3931J demodulates standard and high-definition television signals according to ATSC-A/53, the North American digital television broadcast standard and QAM 64/256 signals as specified by ITU-T J.83 Annex B. The device is based on Micronas’s primeD demodulator technology.
