27M is selected for reference design of NEC Electronics (Europe) EMMA2SL/S

27M Technologies is proud to announce that NEC Electronics (Europe) has selected 27M as hardware and software design partner for the NEC Electronics EMMA2SL/S DVB‐T reference design for the European market. NEC Electronics EMMA2SL/S (μPD61216), new member of the EMMA Series, is a MPEG2 decoder integrating a QPSK demodulator and is targeting the very low cost Set‐Top‐Box (STB) market. This board is also populated with the updated Nordig unified high performance NEC Electronics COFDM demodulator (μPD61541), and the latest 3.3V MxL5003 digital CMOS silicon tuner from MaxLinear Inc.

The reference software based on the 27M DVB SW stack is available in two versions for DVB‐ T; a pan‐European version, and a version for the UK‐market with MHEG5, v1.06 integrated. ”This cooperation strengthen our position as the preferred provider of HW and SW for low‐ cost turnkey solutions”, says Per Elmhester, Product Manager at 27M. The board is designed with components for low power consumption, and will be RoHS compliant to cover European and China ROHS requirements. Per Elmhester: ”It is a very important part of our strategy to also present solutions that meet the increasing environmental requests”.

The reference design will be used as a proof‐of‐concept of the NEC Electronics devices, and as such help NEC Electronics (Europe) and 27M customers to move from concept to product in a very short turnaround time. Jan Mårtensson, VP Products and Technology: “Having this reference design we can quickly adapt the product to customer requirements, and field tests can start much earlier than in conventional projects”.
