• Decoding of MPEG Audio Layer II according to  ISO/IEC 13818-3

• All standardised data rates, sampling rates and stereo modes

• Input: MPEG2 transport stream

• Output: PCM data stream

• The configuration via register interface is compatible to the NIOS-Avalon-Bus

• Apart from the configuration, there is no CPU support necessary

• At an internal clock frequency of 81 MHz, up to 16 data streams can be decoded simultaneously by one MPEG decoder instance

• Optionally: Connection of external RAMs to increase the clock rate

• FPGA Platform: Altera, Xilinx or Lattice

Using the decoder in combination with our IP-Core for digital FM modulation, a cable head-end converts the digital satellite radio programmes to digitally modulated FM signals. Depending on the hardware, there are up to 48 services achievable on one cassette.
