FOR BROADBAND COMMUNICATIONS AND AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS
The MicroTuner™ MT2064 is an
APPLICATIONS
advanced, low-power single-chip
broadband tuner that has been
optimized for high-performance
cable modems and embedded
multimedia terminal adapter (E-MTA)
that require low composite distortion
and low noise under digital cable
environments.

PRODUCT BRIEF
PacketCable™ E-MTA
The MT2064 is a low-power 3.3V single-
chip broadband tuner with an integrated
IF variable-gain amplifier.
FEATURES
•
48 MHz to 1000 MHz input
The MT2064 is capable of
frequency range
receiving frequencies in the 48 MHz
to 1 GHz range and of converting a
selected channel to a standard
intermediate frequency (IF) between
30 MHz and 60 MHz.
•
•
3.3V power supply
Single-ended RF input reduces
BOM by eliminating input balun
Works seamlessly with all digital
demodulators
•
•
The MT2064’s low phase noise
makes it ideal for use in digital
applications such as video, voice
and high-speed data. Its dual-
conversion architecture, with no
requirement for tracking filters, yields
the desirable characteristics of
traditional cable television tuners:
controlled input impedance across
the entire input band, low in-band
emissions, and outstanding image
rejection.

MT2064 Single-Chip Broadband Tuner
•
Low phase noise for excellent
performance in QAM 64 and QAM
256 systems

•
Software and hardware shutdown
modes
In addition, the MT2064 provides
excellent in-band flatness as well as
very repeatable gain characteristics
across the complete reception band.

•
Fully integrated VCO circuitry
simplifies PCB layout
consumption significantly conserves
current and can be effectively used
to extend the operation of battery-
powered E-MTA.
General-purpose input/ output
(GPIO) controllable via serial-
control interface
The MT2064 can be used in
conjunction with Microtune’s
upstream amplifiers to create a
complete RF front end for bi-
directional cable modem
