General description
Based on the CX2414x, this FTA / FTA-CI STB reference design comprises a two-layer PCB integrated receiver decoder (IRD) and is an ideal development platform for software and hardware evaluation and development.
Key features
- Modular development platform enables functional and performance evaluation
- Software development vehicle helps reduce time-to-market
- Additional features for validation of silicon functionality
- Common platform for customer support saves time and money
Background information
While not intended as a reference design for direct manufacture, the motherboard is a proven example of a typical CX2414x-based set-top box design, implemented on a low cost two-layer PCB.
The two-layer PCB motherboard has no internal layer and incorporates all signal, power and ground connections on both sides. Components on the board are top side mounted only.
