Description
The CE6353 is a superior fourth generation fully compliant
ETSI ETS300 744 COFDM demodulator that exceeds, with
margin, the performance requirements of all known DVB-T
digital terrestrial television standards, including Unified
Nordig and DTG.
A high performance 10 bit on-chip ADC is used to sample the
44 or 36 MHz IF analog signal. Advanced digital filtering of
the upper and lower channel enables a single 8 MHz channel
SAW filter to be used for 6, 7 and 8 MHz OFDM signal
reception. All sampling and other internal clocks are derived
from a single 20.48 MHz crystal or a 4 MHz clock input, the
tolerance of which may be relaxed as much as 200 ppm.
The CE6353 has a wide frequency capture range able to
automatically compensate for the combined offset intro-
duced by the tuner xtal and broadcaster triple frequency
offsets.
An on-chip state machine controls all acquisition and tracking
operations of the CE6353 as well as controlling the tuner via
a 2-wire bus. Any frequency range can be automatically
scanned for digital TV channels. This mechanism ensures
minimal interaction, maximum flexibility and fast acquisition
- very low software overhead.
Also included in the design is a 7-bit ADC to detect the RF
signal strength and thereby efficiently control the tuner RF
AGC.
Users have access to all the relevant signal quality infor-
mation, including input signal power level, signal-to-noise
ratio, pre-Viterbi BER, post-Viterbi BER, and the uncor-
rectable block counts. The error rate monitoring periods are
programmable over a wide range.
The device is packaged in a 10 x 10 mm 64-pin LQFP and is
very low power.

2 Functional Description
A functional block diagram of the CE6353 OFDM demodulator is shown in Figure 4. This accepts an IF analogue signal and
delivers a stream of demodulated soft decision data to the on-chip Viterbi decoder. Clock, timing and frequency synchroni-
zation operations are all digital and there are no analogue control loops except the AGC. The frequency capture range is
large enough for all practical applications. This demodulator has novel algorithms to combat impulse noise as well as
co-channel and adjacent channel interference. If the modulation is hierarchical, the OFDM outputs both high and low
priority data streams. Only one of these streams is FEC-decoded, but the FEC can be switched from one stream to another
with minimal interruption to the transport stream.
Figure 4 - OFDM Demodulator Diagram
The FEC module shown in Figure 5 consists of a concatenated convolutional (Viterbi) and Reed-Solomon decoder
separated by a depth-12 convolutional de-interleaver. The Viterbi decoder operates on 5-bit soft decisions to provide the
best performance over a wide range of channel conditions. The trace-back depth of 128 ensures minimum loss of perfor-
mance due to inevitable survivor truncation, especially at high code rates. Both the Viterbi and Reed-Solomon decoders
are equipped with bit-error monitors. The former provides the bit error rate (BER) at the OFDM output. The latter is the
more useful measure as it gives the Viterbi output BER. The error collecting intervals of these are programmable over a
very wide range.

Figure 5 - FEC Block Diagram
The FSM controller shown in Figure 4 controls both the demodulator and the FEC. It also drives the 2-wire bus to the
tuner. The controller facilitates the automated search of all parameters or any sub-set of parameters of the received
signal. It can also be used to scan any defined frequency range searching for OFDM channels. This mechanism provides
the fast channel scan and acquisition performance, whilst requiring minimal software overhead in the host driver.
The algorithms and architectures used in the CE6353 have been optimized to minimize power consumption.
2.1 Analogue-to-Digital Converter
The CE6353 has a high performance 10-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) which can sample a 6, 7 or 8 MHz
bandwidth OFDM signal, with its spectrum centred at:
36.17 MHz IF
43.75 MHz IF
•5-10MHz near-zero IF
An on-chip programmable phase locked loop (PLL) is used to generate the ADC sampling clock. The PLL is highly program-
mable allowing a wide choice of sampling frequencies to suit any IF frequency, and all signal bandwidths.
2.2 Automatic Gain Control
An AGC module compares the absolute value of the digitized signal with a programmable reference. The error signal is
filtered and is used to control the gain of the amplifier. A sigma-delta modulated output is provided, which has to be RC
low-pass filtered to obtain the voltage to control the amplifier.
The programmable AGC reference has been optimized. A large value for the reference leads to excessive ADC clipping and
a small value results in excessive quantization noise. Hence the optimum value has been determined assuming the input
signal amplitude to be Gaussian distributed. The latter is justified by applying the central limit theorem in statistics to the
OFDM signal, which consists of a large number of randomly modulated carriers. This reference or target value may have to
be lowered slightly for some applications. Slope control bits have been provided for the AGCs and these have to be set
correctly depending on the gain-versus-voltage slope of the gain control amplifiers.
The bandwidth of the AGC is set to a large value for quick acquisition then reduced to a small value for tracking. The AGC
is free running during OFDM channel changes and locks to the new channel while the tuner lock is being established. This
is one of the features of CE6353 used to minimize acquisition time. A robust AGC lock mechanism is provided and the
other parts of the CE6353 begin to acquire only after the AGC has locked.
2.3 IF to Baseband Conversion
Sampling a 36.17 MHz IF signal at 45 MHz results in a spectrally inverted OFDM signal centred at approximately 8.9 MHz.
The first step of the demodulation process is to convert this signal to a complex (in-phase and quadrature) signal in
baseband. A correction for spectral inversion is implemented during this conversion process. Note also that the CE6353
has control mechanisms to search automatically for an unknown spectral inversion status.

2.4 Adjacent Channel Filtering
Adjacent channels, in particular the Nicam digital sound signal associated with analogue channels, are filtered prior to the
FFT.
2.5 Interpolation and Clock Synchronisation
CE6353 uses digital timing recovery and this eliminates the need for an external VCXO. The ADC samples the signal at a
fixed rate, for example, 45.056 MHz. Conversion of the 45.056 MHz signal to the OFDM sample rate is achieved using the
time-varying interpolator. The OFDM sample rate is 64/7 MHz for 8 MHz and this is scaled by factors 6/8 and 7/8 for 6
and 7 MHz channel bandwidths. The nominal ratio of the ADC to OFDM sample rate is programmed in a CE6353 register
(defaults are for 45 MHz sampling and 8 MHz OFDM). The clock recovery phase locked loop in the CE6353 compensates
for inaccuracies in this ratio due to uncertainties of the frequency of the sampling clock.
2.6 Carrier Frequency Synchronisation
There can be frequency offsets in the signal at the input to OFDM, partly due to tuner step size and partly due to
broadcast frequency shifts, typically 1/6 MHz. These are tracked out digitally, up to 1 MHz in 2 K and 8 K modes, without
the need for an analogue frequency control (AFC) loop.
The default frequency capture range has been set to ±286 kHz in the 2 K and 8 K mode. However, these values can be
increased, if necessary, by programming an on-chip register (see details in the design manual). It is recommended that a
larger capture range be used for channel scan in order to find channels with broadcast frequency shifts, without having to
adjust the tuner. After the OFDM module has locked (the AFC will have been previously disabled), the frequency offset
can be read from an on-chip register.
2.7 Symbol Timing Synchronisation
This module computes the optimum sample position to trigger the FFT in order to eliminate or minimize inter-symbol
interference in the presence of multi-path distortion. Furthermore, this trigger point is continuously updated to dynami-
cally adapt to time-variations in the transmission channel.
2.8 Fast Fourier Transform
The FFT module uses the trigger information from the timing synchronization module to set the start point for an FFT. It
then uses either a 2 K or 8 K FFT to transform the data from the time domain to the frequency domain. An extremely
hardware-efficient and highly accurate algorithm has been used for this purpose.
2.9 Common Phase Error Correction
This module subtracts the common phase offset from all the carriers of the OFDM signal to minimize the effect of the
tuner phase noise on system performance.
2.10 Channel Equalisation
This consists of two parts. The first part involves estimating the channel frequency response from pilot information.
Efficient algorithms have been used to track time-varying channels with a minimum of hardware.
The second part involves applying a correction to the data carriers based on the estimated frequency response of the
channel. This module also generates dynamic channel state information (CSI) for every carrier in every symbol.
2.11 Impulse Filtering
CE6353 contains several mechanisms to reduce the impact of impulse noise on system performance.
2.12 Transmission Parameter Signalling (TPS)
An OFDM frame consists of 68 symbols and a superframe is made up of four such frames. There is a set of TPS carriers in
every symbol and all these carry one bit of TPS. These bits, when combined, include information about the transmission
mode, guard ratio, constellation, hierarchy and code rate, as defined in ETS 300 744. In addition, the first eight bits of the
cell identifier are contained in even frames and the second eight bits of the cell identifier are in odd frames. The TPS
module extracts all the TPS data, and presents these to the host processor in a structured manner.

2.13 De-Mapper
This module generates soft decisions for demodulated bits using the channel-equalized in-phase and quadrature compo-
nents of the data carriers as well as per-carrier channel state information (CSI). The de-mapping algorithm depends on the
constellation (QPSK, 16 QAM or 64 QAM) and the hierarchy (α= 0, 1, 2 or 4). Soft decisions for both low- and high-priority
data streams are generated.
2.14 Symbol and Bit De-Interleaving
The OFDM transmitter interleaves the bits within each carrier and also the carriers within each symbol. The de-interleaver
modules consist largely of memory to invert these interleaving functions and present the soft decisions to the FEC in the
original order.
2.15 Viterbi Decoder
The Viterbi decoder accepts the soft decision data from the OFDM demodulator and outputs a decoded bit-stream. The
decoder does the de-puncturing of the input data for all code rates other than 1/2. It then evaluates the branch metrics
and passes these to a 64-state path-metric updating unit, which in turn outputs a 64-bit word to the survivor memory.
The Viterbi decoded bits are obtained by tracing back the survivor paths in this memory. A trace-back depth of 128 is
used to minimize any loss in performance, especially at high code rates.
The decoder re-encodes the decoded bits and compares these with received data (delayed) to compute bit errors at its
input, on the assumption that the Viterbi output BER is significantly lower than its input BER.
2.16 MPEG Frame Aligner
The Viterbi decoded bit stream is aligned into 204-byte frames. A robust synchronization algorithm is used to ensure
correct lock and to prevent loss of lock due to noise impulses.
2.17 De-interleaver
Errors at the Viterbi output occur in bursts and the function of the de-interleaver is to spread these errors over a number
of 204-byte frames to give the Reed-Solomon decoder a better chance of correcting these. The de-interleaver is a
memory unit which implements the inverse of the convolutional interleaving function introduced by the transmitter.
2.18 Reed-Solomon Decoder
Every 188-byte transport packet is encoded by the transmitter into a 204-byte frame, using a truncated version of a
systematic (255,239) Reed-Solomon code. The corresponding (204,188) Reed-Solomon decoder is capable of correcting
up to eight byte errors in a 204-byte frame. It may also detect frames with more than eight byte errors.
In addition to efficiently performing this decoding function, the Reed-Solomon decoder in CE6353 keeps a count of the
number of bit errors corrected over a programmable period and the number of uncorrectable blocks. This information can
be used to compute the post-Viterbi BER.
2.19 De-scrambler
The de-scrambler de-randomizes the Reed-Solomon decoded data by generating the exclusive-OR of this with a
pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS). This outputs 188-byte MPEG transport packets. The TEI bit of the packet header
may be set if required to indicate uncorrectable packets.
2.20 MPEG Transport Interface
MPEG data can be output in parallel or serial mode. The output clock frequency is automatically chosen to present the
MPEG data as uniformly spaced as possible to the transport processor. This frequency depends on the guard ratio,
constellation, hierarchy and code rate. There is also an option for the data to be extracted from the with a clock provided
by the user.

3.1 2-Wire Bus
3.1.1 Host
The primary 2-wire bus serial interface uses pins:
DATA1 (pin5) serial data, the most significant bit is sent first.
CLK1 (pin 4) serial clock.
The 2-wire bus address is determined by a combination of internal settings and applying Vdd or Gnd to the SADD[4:0]
pins:
When the CE6353 is powered up, the RESET pin 9 should be held low for at least 50 ms after Vdd has reached normal
operation levels. As the RESET pin goes high, the logic levels on SADD[4:0] are latched as the 2-wire bus address. ADDR[0]
is the R/W bit.
The circuit works as a slave transmitter with the lsb set high or as a slave receiver with the lsb set low. In receive mode,
the first data byte is written to the RADD virtual register, which forms the register sub-address. The RADD register takes
an 8-bit value that determines which of 256 possible register addresses is written to by the following byte. Not all
addresses are valid and many are reserved registers that must not be changed from their default values. Multiple byte
reads or writes will auto-increment the value in RADD, but care should be taken not to access the reserved registers
accidentally.
Following a valid chip address, the 2-wire bus STOP command resets the RADD register to 00. If the chip address is not
recognized, the CE6353 will ignore all activity until a valid chip address is received. The 2-wire bus START command does
NOT reset the RADD register to 00. This allows a combined 2-wire bus message, to point to a particular read register with
a write command, followed immediately with a read data command. If required, this could next be followed with a write
command to continue from the latest address. RADD would not be sent in this case. Finally, a STOP command should be
sent to free the bus.
When the 2-wire bus is addressed (after a recognized STOP command) with the read bit set, the first byte read out is the
contents of register 00.
3.1.2 Tuner
The CE6353 has a General Purpose Port that can be configured to provide a secondary 2-wire bus.
Master control mode is selected by setting register SCAN_CTL (0x62) [b3] = 1.
The allocation of the pins is: GPP0 pin 35 = CLK2*, GPP1 pin 36 = DATA2.

After decoding the 188-byte MPEG packet, it is output on the MDO pins in 188 consecutive clock cycles.
Additionally when the TEI_En bit in the OP_CTRL_0 register (0x5A) is set high (default), the TEI bit of any uncorrectable
packet will automatically be set to ‘1’. If TEI_En bit is low then TEI bit will not be changed (but note that if this bit is already
1, for example, due to a channel error which has not been corrected, it will remain high at output).

3.2.2 MPEG Data Output Signals
The MPEGEN bit in the CONFIG register must be set low to enable the MPEG data. The maximum movement in the packet
synchronization byte position is limited to ±1 output clock period. MOCLK will be a continuously running clock once symbol
lock has been achieved, and is derived from the symbol clock. MOCLK is shown in Figure 8 with MOCLKINV = ‘1’, the default
state, see register 0x50.
All output data and signals (MDO[7:0], MOSTRT, MOVAL & BKERR) change on the negative edge of MOCLK (MOCLKINV = 1)
to present stable data and signals on the positive edge of the clock.
A complete packet is output on MDO[7:0] on 188 consecutive clocks and the MDO[7:0] pins will remain low during the
inter-packet gaps. MOSTRT goes high for the first byte clock of a packet. MOVAL goes high on the first byte of a packet
and remains high until the last byte has been clocked out. BKERR goes low on the first byte of a packet where uncor-
rectable bytes are detected and will remain low until the last byte has been clocked out.

4.5.1 Selection of External Components
The capacitor values used must ensure correct operation of the Pierce oscillator such that the total loop gain is greater
than unity. Correct selection of the two capacitors is very important and the following method is recommended to obtain
values for C1 and C2. Alternatively there is a calculator available (ZLAN-125) that will calculate the external component
values for you.
4.5.1.1 Loop Gain Equation
Although oscillation may still occur if the loop gain is just above 1, a loop gain of between 5 and 25 is optimum to ensure
that oscillations will occur across all variations in temperature, process and supply voltage, and that the circuit will exhibit
good start-up characteristics.

4.5.1.3 Calculating Crystal Power Dissipation
To calculate the power dissipated in a crystal the following equation can be used.
Equation 3 -
Pc = power dissipated in crystal at resonant frequency (W)
Vpp = maximum peak to peak output swing of amplifier is 1.8V for all CVdd
Zin = crystal network impedance (see Equation 2)
4.5.1.4 Capacitor Values
Using the loop gain limits (5 < A < 25), the maximum and minimum values for C1 and C2 can be calculated with Equation 4
below.
Equation 4 -
Note: Equation 4 was derived from Equation 1 and Equation 2 using the premise that C1 = C2.
Within these limits, any value for C1 and C2 can now be selected. Normally C1 and C2 are chosen such that the resulting
crystal load capacitance CL (see Equation 5) is close to the crystal manufacturers recommended CL (standard values for CL
are 15pF, 20pF and 30pF). The crystal will then operate very near its specified frequency.
Equation 5 -
Cpar12 =parasitic capacitance between the XTI and XTO pins. It consists of the IC package’s pin-to-pin capacitance
(including any socket used) and the printed circuit board’s track-to-track capacitance.
Cpar12 2pF.
If some frequency pulling can be tolerated, a crystal load capacitance different from the crystal manufacturer’s recom-
mended CL may be acceptable. Larger values of CL tend to reduce the influence of circuit variations and tolerances on
frequency stability. Smaller values of CL tend to reduce startup time and crystal power dissipation. Care must however be
taken that CL does not fall outside the crystal pulling range or the circuit may fail to start up altogether. It is also possible
to quote CL to the crystal manufacturer who can then cut a crystal to order which will resonate, under the specified load
conditions, at the desired frequency.
Finally the power dissipation in the crystal must be checked. If Pc is too high C1 and C2 must be reduced. If this is not
feasible C2 alone may be reduced. Unbalancing C1 and C2 will, however, require checking if the loop gain condition is still
satisfied. This must be done using Equation 1.
4.5.1.5 Oscillator/Clock Application Notes
On the printed circuit board, the tracks to the crystal and capacitors must be made as short as possible. Other
signal tracks must not be allowed to cross through this area. The component tracks should preferably be ringed by
a ground track connected to the chip ground (0V) on adjacent pins either side of the crystal pins. It is also
advisable to provide a ground plane for the circuit to reduce noise.
External clock signals, applied to XTI and/or XTO, must not exceed the cell supply limits (i.e., 0V and CVdd) and
current into or out of XTI and/or XTO must be limited to less than 10mA to avoid damaging the cell’s amplitude
clamping circuit.
An external, DC coupled, single ended square wave clock signal may be applied to XTI if OSCMODE = 0. To limit the
current taken from the signal source a resistor should be placed between the clock source and XTI. The
recommended value for this series resistor is 470 for a clock signal switching between 0V and CVdd. The
current the clock source needs to source/sink is then 1.9 mA. The XTO pin must be left unconnected in this
configuration. See Figure 15.

OSCOUT signal cannot be guaranteed in such a configuration.
AC coupling of a single ended external clock to XTI, with OSCMODE = 1, is possible. It is recommended that the
circuit shown in Figure 15 be used to correctly bias the oscillator inputs: The common-mode voltage VCM for XTI
and XTO, (set by the 36 k and 22 k resistors) must be in the range 800 mV to CVdd and the amplitude Vpp of
the clock signal must be >100 mV. See Figure 15.
Figure 15 - External Clocking
External, differential clock signals may be applied to XTI and XTO if OSCMODE = 1. The common-mode voltage VCM
for the differential clock signals must be in the range 800 mV to CVdd, and the peak-to-peak signal amplitude Vpp
must be >100 mV. It is recommended that differential clock signals have VCM =1.0V. For Vpp>400mV a resistor
of 390 in series with XTI or XTO may be required to limit the current taken from or supplied to the clock
sources.
