AS-101 Mobile Digital TV Receiver

The new AS-101 Mobile Digital TV single chip receiver comes in a tiny footprint that measures a mere 5mm x 5mm and will be demonstrated at the Mobile World Congress later this month. Touted to be the smallest digital mobile TV receiver for DVB-H/T applications in the world, it comes with a multi-band RF tuner, an advanced OFDM demodulator, memory and interfaces all packed onto a single 90nm CMOS die. Guess the AS-101 will herald a slew of new gadget releases that will come in ever smaller form factors which allows you to view digital TV, but shrinkage of the device size must stop at some point as nobody likes viewing movies and soaps on too small a screen.
