Overview:
The AU8521 is a fully integrated DTV + ATV demodulation IC designed specifically for PC-TV applications. Internally, the AU8521 consists of a fully compliant ATSC A/74 8-VSB demodulator, a 64/256 QAM demodulator, a complete NTSC analog TV demodulator and video decoder, and a BTSC/A2/FM audio decoder. The AU8521 directly accepts IF or low IF from the RF tuner section via a 12-bit internal Analog-to-Digital Converter, and outputs MPEG-2 transport stream to either PCI or a DMA interface. The AU8521 utilizes Auvitek's proprietary demodulation and signal-tracking algorithms and is ideally suited for any PC-TV system that requires full support for legacy TV broadcast alongside DTV reception.
