Supported standards include: DVB-T/T2 ISDB-T ATSC DTMB DVB-C J.83 Annex A/B/C The MxL608 converts a single-ended 75 Ω RF input signal to an IF output frequency that is software programmable between 4MHz and 44MHz. All channel selection filters are fully integrated and software configurable for 6MHz, 7MHz, or 8MHz channel bandwidths. The MxL608 includes an accurate input power detector and channel scan algorithm that offers significant improvement in channel scan time, especially under blind-scan conditions. Channel filtering, Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), and loop-through output are completely integrated. The external Bill Of Materials (BOM) is limited to a small number of standard value discrete components. Features: Pin-compatible with the MxL603 Optional no balun (single-ended input) configuration 52.5MHz to 866MHz tuning range Programmable channel selection filter (6MHz/ 7MHz/8MHz) Programmable low/high IF interface Programmable IF Automatic Gain Control (AGC) interface Self AGC calibration Programmable IF spectrum inversion Highly accurate input power level reporting Reference clock output I2C-compatible control interface Integrated loop-through output API-based software interface 4x4mm2 QFN24 package Applications : Digital terrestrial and cable STBs Integrated Digital Televisions (iDTVs) Tuner modules Portable TVs and media players Blu-Ray recorders Multi-tuner Personal Video Recorder (PVRs) Benefits : Single hardware design for all global digital terrestrial applications Ultra low power, 350mW (Active), or 110mW (Standby) Simple two-layer PCB design No external Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters Low BOM cost
