Complete Single-Conversion Television Tuner
MAX3540
General Description
Features
The MAX3540 complete single-conversion television
tuner is designed for use in analog/digital terrestrial appli-
cations and digital set-top boxes. This television tuner
draws only 760mW of power from a +3.3V supply voltage.
♦ Low Power Consumption: 760mW (typ) from a
+3.3V Supply Voltage
♦ Integrated Tracking Filters
♦ ATSC A/74 Compliant
The MAX3540 is designed to convert NTSC or ATSC sig-
nals in the 54MHz to 860MHz band to a 44MHz interme-
diate frequency (IF).
♦ 40dB Adjacent Channel Protection Ratio (ACPR)
♦ 4.4dB (typ) Low Noise Figure
The MAX3540 includes a variable-gain low-noise ampli-
fier (LNA), multiband tracking filters, a harmonic-rejec-
tion mixer, a low-noise IF amplifier, an IF power detector,
and a variable-gain IF amplifier. The MAX3540 also
includes fully monolithic VCOs and tank circuits as well
as a complete frequency synthesizer. This highly inte-
grated design allows for low-power tuner-on-board
applications without the cost and power-dissipation
issues of dual-conversion tuner solutions.
♦ Small, 7mm x 7mm, fcLGA Leadless Package
♦ 256-QAM-Compatible Phase-Noise Performance
♦ IF Overload Detector Controls RF Variable-Gain
