Worldwide Digital TV Tuner
Description
Features
- Worldwide digital TV tuner
- ATSC/QAM, DVB-T2/T/C2/C, ISDB-T/C, DTMB
- 1.7 MHz, 6 MHz, 7 MHz, 8 MHz, and 10 MHz chan-
The Si2141 is the industry's most advanced digital TV
tuner supporting all worldwide terrestrial and cable TV
standards for digital TV reception. Leveraging five
generations of field-proven digital TV tuner technology, the
Si2141 delivers the same or better RF performance as
Silicon Labs' Si2147 digital TV tuner while further reducing
footprint size and bill of materials cost.
Available in an industry-leading 3x3 mm QFN package, the
Si2141 eliminates the need for an external balun, LNAs,
SAW filters, and inductive power supply filtering to deliver
the lowest-cost, most design-friendly and area-efficient
solution available today. While competing solutions may
also eliminate the balun, they suffer degradation in NF and
second-order distortion, compromising reception. A
fully-integrated 1.8 V LDO enables single supply operation,
while a dual supply option offers additional system
flexibility. Increased immunity to LTE interference and a
harmonic rejection mixer with outstanding immunity to
Wi-Fi interference eliminate the need for external filtering.
For advanced digital broadcast standards with high-order
constellations, such as DVB-T2 and DVB-C2, the superior
integrated phase noise of the Si2141 provides several dB
of improved reception performance compared to
competing solutions. Additionally, a software-selectable
cable mode offers optimized return loss.
The Si2141 delivers exceptional picture quality and a
higher number of received stations when compared to
other silicon tuners. Incorporating worldwide field
experience from five prior digital tuner generations in mass
production, the Si2141 delivers the highest tolerance to
real-world reception conditions.
