TDA18250AHN
Cable silicon tuner
Rev. 1 — 10 July 2013
Product short data sheet
1. General description
The TDA18250A is a silicon tuner designed specifically for worldwide cable and terrestrial
digital Set Top Boxes (STB).
• The TDA18250A ensures a low system cost by saving external components such as:
– Low-Noise Amplifiers
– Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters
– RF splitter
Moreover, thanks to its 8 kV ESD capability, EIA/JESD22-A114 (HBM), on the RF
input pin and the loop-through pin, the application level ESD protection can be
reduced.
• The TDA18250A silicon tuner meets current and future digital cable and terrestrial TV
reception with:
– Low-power consumption
– High linearity
– Very low noise figure (3.8 dB typical)
– High immunity to wireless interferers (WLAN, LTE and GSM)
• The TDA18250A ensures ease of use with:
– Easy on-board integration
– Efficient and effective PCB design
– Reduced external components
– Integrated Zero Power Loop-Through (ZPLT)
2. Features and benefits
 Single 3.3 V supply voltage
 RF frequency coverage up to 1 GHz
 Flexible low IF output from 3 MHz to 7.5 MHz to ease the matching with various
demodulators
 RoHS compliant
 I2C-bus interface compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers
 Strong Immunity to wireless interferers (WLAN, GSM, LTE)
 Multi-reference clock frequency compliant:16 MHz, 24 MHz, 25 MHz, 27 MHz and
30 MHz
 Crystal oscillator output buffer to drive demodulator, SoC or slave tuner
 Slave Tuner Output (STO), integrated splitter for dual tuner applications
