Automotive Mobile Audio Video

The NMI400 MRC demodulator provides gain of 3 to 8 db in Carrier to Noise ratio when compared with non-diversity solutions. In full diversity DVB-T operation, the NMI400 consumes only 400mW with an extremely low 3.0 dB noise figure, +2dB IP3 and 55dB of adjacent channel rejection. The single chip offering includes a two quad-band, direct-conversion radios, a MRC DVB-H/DVB-T demodulator, plus all necessary memory in a very small 10mm x 10mm footprint. No other external memory, baluns or loop filters are required to create a complete solution, and the device is manufactured using low-cost, .13-micron complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process technology.

Engineering samples of the NMI400 will be available in the second quarter, 2007.

In addition to DVB-H, mobile DVB-T and Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T), Newport Media's Sundance Series family will support other popular air interface standards including, but not limited to, Terrestrial-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) and MediaFLO.
