Set-top Box Solutions Satellite Digital Satellite Tuner CX24109 Highly Integrated, Direct Down-Conversion Satellite Tuner Conexant’s broadband communications portfolio includes a comprehensive suite of semiconductor solutions that enable the digital home and information network. Combining extensive experience in broadband systems and mixedsignal integrated circuit design, Conexant introduces the CX24109 Digital Satellite Tuner – a highly integrated, direct down-conversion satellite tuner intended for high-volume digital video, audio, and data receivers. The CX24109 consists of an LNA, variable RF attenuator, quadrature downconverter, variable IF gain amplifiers, variable low-pass filters, VCO, and synthesizer. This highly integrated satellite tuner RF IC does not require a balun, therefore simplifying RF layout and reducing the overall BOM cost. When combined with Conexant’s CX24123 QPSK demodulator/FEC decoder, the chipset provides a complete broadband satellite front-end solution capable of operating from 1 to 45 Msps in the most demanding satellite environments. The CX24109 and CX24123 provides a streamlined, cost optimized front-end solution offered in a compact design that saves valuable board space and is easy to implement.
