Design Considerations

Texas Instruments’ Puma family of cable modem, set-top-box (STB) and cable video solutions is the most comprehensive in the industry, delivering field-hardened hardware and software solutions with industry-leading performance. TI’s long-term commitment to interoperability along with our significant ongoing investments in pre-certification and real-world testing gives equipment manufacturers the highest possible confidence for CableLabs® and Excentis certification, as well as the ability to meet the rigorous demands of field deployment in worldwide markets.

The Puma family of cable solutions has historically been among the first to fully comply with the various versions of the most important industry standards, such as CableLab’s Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). The following are TI’s cable solutions that comply with the most recent generations of the DOCSIS standard.
