SD5116SRNIV110 SoC

STMicroelectronics SD5116SRNIV110 High-Performance Multimedia SoC

The STMicroelectronics SD5116SRNIV110 (v1.1 Revision) is an advanced, high-integration system-on-a-chip (SoC) designed for high-definition digital set-top boxes (STB), hybrid cable/satellite receivers, and interactive IPTV gateways. Built as an evolution of the STi711x architecture, the SD5116 series provides the high-speed processing power required for modern HTML5-based middleware, enhanced 3D graphics, and multi-stream HD video decoding.

Core Technical Features:

• Advanced Dual-Stream HD Decoding: High-performance hardware engines capable of simultaneous decoding of multiple HD formats, including H.264 (AVC), VC-1, WMV9, and MPEG-2, supporting resolutions up to 1080p60.
• Enhanced CPU Architecture: Powered by a high-frequency ST40 processor core (SuperH architecture), providing the necessary computational overhead for sophisticated browsers, Flash-based UIs, and Java-based middleware.
• High-Definition Graphics Engine: Integrated 2D/3D graphics acceleration enables fluid, high-resolution user interfaces, transparency effects, and support for advanced Electronic Program Guides (EPG).
• Integrated Security Sub-System: Robust, hardware-based security architecture for Digital Rights Management (DRM) and Conditional Access (CA), ensuring protection for premium broadcast and VOD content.
• Comprehensive Connectivity Suite: Equipped with a wide range of interfaces including HDMI 1.3/1.4 with HDCP, High-Speed USB 2.0, eSATA for DVR/PVR functionality, and 10/100 Ethernet.
