MAX2106 Overview
The MAX2106 low-cost, direct-conversion tuner IC is designed for use in digital direct-broadcast satellite (DBS) television set-top box units and is a pin-for-pin upgrade for the MAX2104. Its direct-conversion architecture reduces system cost pared to devices with IF-based architectures. The MAX2106 directly tunes Lband signals to baseband using a broadband I/Q downconverter.
