Direct-Conversion Tuner IC for Digital DBS Applications
General Description
The MAX2104 low-cost direct-conversion tuner IC is designed for use in digital direct-broadcast satellite (DBS) television set-top box units. Its direct-conversion architecture reduces system cost compared to devices with IF-based architectures. The MAX2104 directly converts L-band signals to baseband signals using a broadband I/Q downconverter. The operating frequency range extends from 925MHz to 2175MHz. The IC includes an LNA gain control, I and Q downconverting mixers, lowpass filters with gain control and frequency control, a local oscillator (LO) buffer with a 90° quadrature network, and a charge-pump based PLL for frequency control.
