ISDB-T 1-Segment Tuner
MAX2163
General Description
Features
The MAX2163 low-IF tuner IC is designed for use in
1-segment ISDB-T applications. The MAX2163 directly
converts UHF band signals to a low-IF using a broad-
band I/Q downconverter. The operating frequency
range covers the UHF band from 470MHz to 806MHz.
o Frequency Range
UHF: 470MHz to 806MHz (UHFIN)
o Low Noise Figure: 3.2dB (typ)
o High Dynamic Range: -99dBm to 0dBm
o Optional UHF Tracking Filter
The MAX2163 includes LNAs, RF variable gain ampli-
fiers, I and Q downconverting mixers, a baseband vari-
able gain amplifier, and a low-IF filter. The MAX2163’s
variable gain amplifiers provide in excess of 100dB of
control range.
o Integrated VCO and Frequency Synthesizer
o Low LO Phase Noise: -87dBc/Hz at 10kHz
o Integrated Variable BW Low-IF Filters
o Greater Than 40dB Image Rejection
o Single +2.4V to +3.47V Supply
The MAX2163 also includes fully monolithic VCOs as
well as a complete frequency synthesizer including an
on-chip crystal oscillator and output buffer. The device
operates with a crystal from 32MHz to 36MHz.
o Low Power: 80mW (typ) at +2.5V

o 2-Wire I C Serial-Control Interface
o Low-Power Shutdown and Standby Modes

control interface. A low-power standby mode is avail-
able that shuts down the signal path leaving the control
interface and register circuits active. Additionally, an
external pin can shut down the entire device.
