MXL608 Tuner IC

70.00

The MxL608 is a high performance, low power digital terrestrial and cable television silicon tuner that is targeted at price-sensitive Set-Top Boxes (STBs). Based on MaxLinear’s market-proven 65nm digital CMOS technology, the MxL608 is software configurable for all global terrestrial and cable reception standards without the need for any hardware modifications.

 

Supported standards include:
  • DVB-T/T2
  • ISDB-T
  • ATSC
  • DTMB
  • DVB-C
  • J.83 Annex A/B/C

The MxL608 converts a single-ended 75 Ω RF input signal to an IF output frequency that is software programmable between 4MHz and 44MHz. All channel selection filters are fully integrated and software configurable for 6MHz, 7MHz, or 8MHz channel bandwidths. The MxL608 includes an accurate input power detector and channel scan algorithm that offers significant improvement in channel scan time, especially under blind-scan conditions. Channel filtering, Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), and loop-through output are completely integrated. The external Bill Of Materials (BOM) is limited to a small number of standard value discrete components.

Features:
  • Pin-compatible with the MxL603
  • Optional no balun (single-ended input) configuration
  • 52.5MHz to 866MHz tuning range
  • Programmable channel selection filter (6MHz/ 7MHz/8MHz)
  • Programmable low/high IF interface
  • Programmable IF Automatic Gain Control (AGC) interface
  • Self AGC calibration
  • Programmable IF spectrum inversion
  • Highly accurate input power level reporting
  • Reference clock output
  • I2C-compatible control interface
  • Integrated loop-through output
  • API-based software interface
  • 4x4mm2 QFN24 package
Applications :
  • Digital terrestrial and cable STBs
  • Integrated Digital Televisions (iDTVs)
  • Tuner modules
  • Portable TVs and media players
  • Blu-Ray recorders
  • Multi-tuner Personal Video Recorder (PVRs)
Benefits :
  • Single hardware design for all global digital terrestrial applications
  • Ultra low power, 350mW (Active), or 110mW (Standby)
  • Simple two-layer PCB design
  • No external Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters
  • Low BOM cost
