Si2146
Worldwide Digital TV Tuner IC
Description
Features
- Worldwide digital TV tuner
The Si2146 integrates
a
complete TV tuner
- ATSC/QAM, DVB-T/T2/C, ISDB-T/C, DTMB
- 42-1002 MHz frequency range
- Compliance to A/74, NorDig, D-Book, C-Book,
ARIB, OpenCable™ specifications
- Best-in-class real-world reception
- Exceeds MOPLL-based tuners
- Highly integrated, lowest BOM
- No SAW filters or wirewound inductors required
- Integrated LNAs and complete tracking filters
- No alignment, tuning or calibration required
- Digital low-IF architecture
supporting all worldwide digital terrestrial and cable
TV standards. Leveraging Silicon Labs’ field proven
digital low-IF architecture, the Si2146 maintains the
unmatched performance and design simplicity of the
Si2143 while further reducing footprint size and bill of
materials cost. No external LNAs, tracking filters,
wirewound inductors or SAW filters are used.
Compared with competing silicon tuners and discrete
MOPLL-based tuners, the Si2146 delivers superior
picture quality and a higher number of received
stations in crowded and near/far real-world reception
conditions. The high linearity and low noise RF
front-end delivers superior blocking performance and
higher sensitivity in the presence of strong undesired
channels and interference.
- Integrated channel select filters
- Flexible output interface
- DLIF to digital TV demodulator or SoC
- 3.3 and 1.8 V power supplies
- Standard CMOS process technology
- 5 x 5 mm, 32-pin QFN package
- RoHS compliant
The Si2146 integrates the complete signal path from
antenna input to IF output. Compared to traditional
discrete MOPLL-based tuners, the Si2146 eliminates
hundreds of external components including external
LNAs, tracking filter varactors and inductors (unlike
competing silicon tuners), and SAW filters, resulting in
the simplest, lowest-cost BOM for a digital TV tuner.
Applications
- Digital ½-NIM and full-NIM
- iDTV (Integrated Digital TV)
- Digital terrestrial and cable STB
- Digital PVR and DVD recorder
Interfacing the Si2146 seamlessly with the Si2165
DVB-T/C demodulator creates a complete terrestrial
and cable DVB-T/C receiver.
