DTV/STB applications require multiple connectivity and user access ports through the front and back panels for connected home media. USB and Ethernet ports are used for multi-function application scenarios. SMSC’s DTV/STB solutions simplify system design by offering multiple connectivity options for placement and routing flexibility, footprint optimization and power consumption savings for green products. Additionally, DTVs/STBs are beginning to incorporate capacitive touch sensors for mechanical button replacement, enabling designers to create a sleeker front panel. SMSC offers a robust product portfolio of scalable Ethernet transceivers, Ethernet controllers, USB, thermal management and capacitive touch sensor solutions for DTV/STB applications.
