Low power HD compatible silicon tuner family
David Srodzinski, Elonics’ Chief Executive Officer, said, “Using our unique software configurable RF CMOS technology, we are able to offer set top box and television manufactures a single tuner solution that covers all of the major digital TV broadcast standards. We are able to support many different standards such as DVB-T, DVB-T2, ISDB-T and many more by re-configuring the tuner in software, with unparalleled performance.”
Low IF output tuners, such as the E4005, have many advantages; they are much easier to route on a PCB compared to traditional high IF output tuner cans due to the lower frequencies involved; the single IF output reduces the PCB footprint; and they are intrinsically much lower power.
The low IF output is just one of the many world leading attributes of the E4005. The programmable multi-band RF filter reduces impact of high level far out-of-band interferers, especially high level VHF Band II signals interfering in the UHF band. It utilises Elonics patent pending ‘DigitalTune™ IP, allowing the product to be configured in software to support digital TV standards across the globe.
The E4002 is a zero IF output only pin and software compatible version of the E4005. Both products are available in a 32-lead 5- x 5-mm QFN, Pb free, RoHs compliant package and are shipping in production volumes today. Customer evaluation boards and application software are available to help with system integration.
