MB86A15-DK01

Development Kit Profile MB86A15-DK01 QPSK Silicon Tuner OVERVIEW Fujitsu’s MB86A15 Development Kit enables the customer to easily evaluate the performance of the MB86A15 and build his own application. Besides the evaluation hardware and the monitoring software, API source code and PCB data will be supplied. The MB86A15 is a combined tuner and demodulator in one 120 LQFP package. Only a few registers have to be set to start the acquisition process. Optimisation of the locking speed can be done with special software algorithms. All those algorithms plus all the basic software to operate the MB86A15 is included in the API. The development kit consists of two boards. The main board is an evaluation platform hosting all necessary connectors to evaluate the performance of the chip. The power supply of 5V, 3.3V and 2.5V can be applied via the transport stream connector that matches 1:1 to the Fujitsu MPEG decoder evaluation boards. For stand alone operation three voltage converters on the main board make it possible to run the evaluation board just from a 5V + 20V supply. The 13/18V LNB-voltage regulation is handled on the main board. The second board is the I2 C interface to the parallel port of a standard IBM compatible PC. With this interface the MB86A15 can easily be controlled by a Windows® software. LEDs on this interface allow to monitor the I2 C activity.
