Elliptic’s CLP-42: DVB CSA Descrambler Core is designed for DVB receiver applications, and implements a flow-through decryption core supporting the ETSI specified Common Scrambling Algorithm (CSA). The CSA cipher is used to protect MPEG-2 content in the European Pay-TV service used in Digital Video Broadcast applications. The cipher is also used in the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) for Digital Satellite News Gathering (DSNG) applications, where it provides the confidentiality algorithm within the Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) Mode 1 and Mode E specifications. The CLP-42 is a robust, proven solution that is in volume production at major foundries.
The DVB CSA Descrambler Core also integrates seamlessly in ARM-based SOCs and enables designers to efficiently balance: power, performance, and silicon area.
