Raytheon RC6508
The RC6508 simplifies the front-end design of cable modem and set-top receivers. It is a cost-effective solution, since it integrates IF amplifier, AGC, mixer, amplifier, tuner AGC, VCO, XTAL OSC, and bandgap reference on a single chip. The RC6508 downconverts the IF signal to baseband signal for cable modem and set top receivers.FEATURES
● Integrated IF Down Converter● IF bandwidth from 30 MHz to 80 MHz
● Operating range between 8.5V to 13.2V
● 63dB peak conversion gain from IF to baseband
● 40dB minimum AGC range
● Simple interface to SAW filter and A/D converter
● Gain control minimizes noise figure and distortion
● Tuner control feature interfaces with variety of tuners
● Industry standard 24 Lead SSOP package
APPLICATIONS
● Digital Set-top Receivers● Cable Modems
DESCRIPTION
The baseband signal can be digitized and decoded with an external A/D converter and a custom DSP demodulator. The
