DVB-S2 (Digital Video Broadcast – Satellite 2nd Generation) is an ETSI standard of the second generation for digital data transmission via satellites. It was published in 2005, being the first standard of the second generation DVB standards (DVB-S2/DVB-T2/DVB-C2). Because of its capacity-approaching forward error correction, today DVB-S2 is the de-facto standard in satellite communication and other applications. The Creonic DVB-S2 IP core integrates the forward error correction as defined by the standard (including LDPC and BCH decoder).

Key benfits of the decoder are:
- Validated against 3rd party DVB-S2 modulators.
- Based on silicon-proven DVB-S2X IP core.
- Soft-Decision demapper, block deinterleaver, LDPC decoder, BCH decoder, descrambler, and CRC checks included
- Low-power and low-complexity design
- Frame-to-frame on-the-fly configuration
- Design-time configuration of throughput for optimal resource utilization
- Faster convergence due to layered LDPC decoder architecture
- Early stopping criterion for iterative LDPC decoder, saving a considerable amount of energy
- Configurable amount of LDPC decoding iterations for trading-off throughput and error correction performance with on-the-fly selection in ACM/VCM modes
- Collection of statistics (error rates, average number of iterations, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR))
Key benefits of the encoder are:
- Scrambler, BCH encoder, LDPC encoder, and block interleaver included
- Low-power and low-complexity design
- Frame-to-frame on-the-fly configuration
- AXI4-Stream handshaking interfaces for seamless integration
