Direct-Conversion TV Tuner
MAX3580
General Description
Features
The MAX3580 fully integrated, direct-conversion TV tuner
is designed for Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial
(DVB-T) applications. The integrated tuner covers a
170MHz to 230MHz input frequency range for the VHF-III
band and 470MHz to 878MHz for the UHF band.
♦ 650mW Power Dissipation (at V
= +3.3V)
CC
♦ I and Q Baseband Outputs Eliminate All IF-SAW
Filters
♦ Integrated RF Tracking Filters
The MAX3580 direct-conversion tuner integrates an RF
input switch and a multiband tracking filter, allowing
low-power tuner-on-board applications without the cost
and power-dissipation issues of dual-conversion tuner
solutions. The zero-IF architecture eliminates the need
for SAW filters by providing baseband I and Q outputs
directly to the demodulator. In addition, DC-offset can-
cellation is implemented on-chip using a mixed-signal
architecture to improve the second-order distortion per-
formance and the dynamic range of the downstream
digitizer and demodulator.
♦ Tunable Baseband Lowpass Filters
♦ Full-Band VHF-III and UHF Tuning
♦ +38dB Digital ACPR, +47dB Analog ACPR
♦ Low Noise Figure: 4.7dB (typ)
♦ Frac-N Synthesizer for -90dBc/Hz Close-In
Phase Noise
♦ Baseband Overload Detector Controls RF AGC if
Desired
The MAX3580 features dynamic gain control of more
than 76dB and a typical midband noise figure of 4.7dB
referred to the LNA input. The VCO architecture opti-
mizes both in-band and wideband phase noise for
OFDM applications where sensitivity to both 1kHz
phase noise and wideband phase noise related to
strong adjacents can be a problem.
♦ +3.1V to +3.5V Supply Voltage Range
♦ Ultra-Small, 5mm x 5mm Thin QFN Package
Pin Configuration/
Functional Diagram
The MAX3580 communicates using a 2-wire serial bus.
The device operates from a typical +3.3V power supply
and dissipates 650mW. The MAX3580 is available in a
small 32-pin thin QFN package (5mm x 5mm) with an
exposed paddle. Electrical performance is guaranteed
over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
