Product details
Overview
TDA10027HN/C1,518 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-channel cable downstream processor IC for DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS/DVB-C/OpenCable set-top boxes, integrating two 12-bit ADCs, one 10-bit OOB ADC, Annex A/B/C FEC, and QPSK/16–256 QAM demodulation in a single HVQFN64 package.
For engineers reviewing the TDA10027HN/C1,518 datasheet, TDA10027HN/C1,518 pinout, TDA10027HN/C1,518 application, or TDA10027HN/C1,518 equivalent, this device supports dual-stream DVB-C demodulation (256 QAM, 6.9 Msps) with integrated OOB QPSK/SCTE55-1/2 reception, low-power operation (<260 mW), and transport stream multiplexing for Annex C compliance.
Technical Context
The TDA10027HN/C1,518 implements two independent Cable Downstream Processors (CDPs), each with a 12-bit ADC, demodulator, and ITU-T J.83 Annex A/B/C FEC engine. It supports time-interleaved parallel or serial TS output modes and includes a dedicated OOB receiver with QPSK demodulation and SCTE55-1/2 FEC.
A built-in Clock Generation Unit (CGU) provides crystal multiplication from a 16 MHz external source and enables tuner clock reuse. The device operates from separate 1.2 V and 3.3 V supplies, with thermal management supported by its HVQFN64 thermal-enhanced package.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar cable demodulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STi7105 | Single-core demodulator; lacks integrated OOB receiver and TSMF module | Requires external OOB IC and transport stream mux for Annex C | Lower integration; suitable when OOB is handled separately or Annex C not required |
| BCM3460A | Supports 1024 QAM and DOCSIS 3.1; no Annex C or TSMF support | Targeted at North American DOCSIS 3.0/3.1 gateways, not DVB-C or OpenCable | Higher modulation order and throughput; unsuitable for Japanese or European broadcast-centric designs |
Compared with STi7105 and BCM3460A, the TDA10027HN/C1,518 uniquely combines dual DVB-C demodulation, integrated OOB QPSK/SCTE55-2, and Annex C TSMF in one HVQFN64 package-enabling compact, multi-region STB designs without external mux or MAC controllers.

FAQ
What modulation schemes does the TDA10027HN/C1,518 support for in-band cable reception?
The TDA10027HN/C1,518 supports QPSK, 16 QAM, 32 QAM, 64 QAM, 128 QAM, and 256 QAM demodulation for in-band downstream signals. It processes these modulations within two independent Cable Downstream Processor (CDP) channels, enabling concurrent reception of two high-throughput DVB-C streams. The TDA10027HN/C1,518 does not support 1024 QAM or DOCSIS 3.1 waveforms.
Does the TDA10027HN/C1,518 include an integrated Out-Of-Band (OOB) receiver?
Yes, the TDA10027HN/C1,518 integrates a dedicated OOB receiver with a QPSK demodulator and SCTE55-1/SCTE55-2 compliant FEC engine. It uses a separate 10-bit ADC for OOB signal digitization and supports either internal MAC or POD interfaces. This eliminates the need for an external OOB IC in compliant STB designs.
What is the power consumption profile of the TDA10027HN/C1,518 during active dual-stream operation?
The TDA10027HN/C1,518 consumes 260 mW typical total power during dual-stream operation: two simultaneous DVB-C demodulations at 256 QAM (6.9 Msps) plus one OOB SCTE55-1 reception. This figure assumes 1.2 V core and 3.3 V I/O supplies at Tamb = 25 °C. Standby power drops to 10–30 mW with all ADCs and clocks disabled.
Which cable standards and regional annexes does the TDA10027HN/C1,518 support?
The TDA10027HN/C1,518 supports ITU-T J.83 Annex A (Europe), Annex B (US), and Annex C (Japan) for in-band FEC, plus SCTE55-1 and SCTE55-2 for OOB. Its integrated TSMF module ensures full Annex C compliance for Japanese transport stream framing. It is not compliant with DOCSIS 3.1 or DVB-C2 specifications.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the TDA10027HN/C1,518 use?
The TDA10027HN/C1,518 uses the HVQFN64 (SOT804-4) package: 9 mm × 9 mm × 0.85 mm, thermally enhanced, leadless. Its maximum junction temperature is 120 °C, and it meets JEDEC Class IV moisture sensitivity. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for effective heat dissipation in production assemblies.
