ACU2109 Wideband Tuner Upconverter Data Sheet - Rev 2.4 FEATURES • Integrated Monolithic GaAs Upconverter • Designed for Digital and Analog TV Tuners • Very Low Oscillator Phase Noise • Low Noise Figure and Low Distortion • Low Power Consumption • Small Size • Can be Shut Down Remotely • Operates from 5 Volt Power Supply • High Reliability APPLICATIONS • CATV/TV Tuners • Cable Modem Tuners S3 Package Modified 16 Pin SOIC PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The ACU2109 is a Monolithic GaAs IC incorporating all upconverter functions of a double conversion CATV, Cable Modem and TV tuner: gain block, oscillator and a double balanced mixer. The oscillator is optimized to meet the stability and phase noise requirements of 256QAM Digital TV, while the amplifier and mixer retain the low distortion necessary for Analog signals. This upconverter IC is well suited for double conversion tuner designs in which small size and high performance for both Digital and Analog TV signals is important. It allows tuner manufacturers to reduce costs by lowering component count and dispensing with labor intensive production alignment steps, while improving performance and reliability. The part is offered in a low profile 16-lead modified SOIC package, and it requires only a single +5 Volt power supply. 07/2003 Figure 1: Functional Block Diagram ACU2109 Table 1: Pin Description PIN 2 NAME DESCRIPTION PIN NAME DESCRIPTION 1 IF1, VIF Balanced IFoutput and supply 16 IF2, VIF Balanced IF output and supply 2 GND Ground 15 GND Ground 3 VBIAS Shut down/current adjust 14 OSCOUT Oscillator output to Prescalar 4 GND Ground 13 GND Ground 5 GND Ground 12 GND Ground 6 RFIN RFInput 11 TCKT Oscillator tank circuit 7 IBIAS Current Bias 10 V LO Oscillator supply 8 GND Ground 9 VCRTN Varactor return Data Sheet - Rev 2.4 07/2003 ACU2109 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Table 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings PARAMETER MIN MAX UNIT VIF, VLO, VOSC (Pins 1, 10, 14 & 16) 0 +9 VD C VRF/VTUNE (Pins 6 & 11) - 0 VD C RF Input Voltage - +60 dBmV -55 +200 °C Soldering Temperature - +260 °C Soldering Time - 5 S e c.
