The TDA18260HN/C1,551 is a dual Silicon Tuner IC designed specifically for high definition multi-tuner cable Set-Top Boxes (STBs) supporting single streaming and multi-streaming PVR STBs with watch, record, video-on-demand and in-home video distribution capability.
Used in conjunction with the TDA10025HN (dual digital channel demodulator), the TDA18260HN/C1,551 covers all worldwide digital cable standards.
- The TDA18260HN/C1,551 ensures a low system cost as:
- Costly components such as low noise amplifiers, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters and incremental crystal oscillators have been eliminated from the system Bill Of Materials (BOM)
- The TDA18260HN/C1,551 high performance Silicon Tuner meets today’s digital cable TV reception needs with:
- Matched performance levels for master and slave tuners
- Low power consumption
- High linearity
- Low noise figure
- The TDA18260HN/C1,551 ensures ease of use with:
- Easy on-board integration
- Efficient and effective PCB design
- Reduced external components
Feature
- Dual tuner inside one single, small sized package
- One single RF input with direct cable connection
- Internal splitter to drive the two integrated tuners
- Two low IF outputs, connecting directly to demodulators
- RF loop-through
- Easy application for up to 6-tuner using 3 TDA18260HN
- Dedicated multiple tuner outputs to drive additional tuners
- No need for external active splitter
- Same performance on all streams
- Extended frequency coverage from 42 MHz up to 1002 MHz
- Multistandard cable receptions
- Enhanced filtering scheme with no external components
- Third and fifth signal harmonics suppression
- Optimum adjacent channel rejection
- MoCA rejection reduces the complexity and the cost of the triplexer
- Single 3.3 V power supply with low power consumption
- Single crystal application for up to 6 streams, including demodulators
- High accuracy Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
- Dual I²C-bus provides full flexibility in programming the two streams from one SoC or independently from two SoCs
