The BCM3418 is a complete QAM Digital Cable Tuner-on-achip that supports both 64- and 256-QAM applications. The
BCM3418 utilizes a highly integrated version of the single
conversion architecture. The input signal is split into three bands,
each with a variable bandpass filter and mixer, controlled by a
two-wire serial bus that is MBus compatible. The IF amplifier
buffers the differential output signal that can directly drive an
external SAW filter, where the final channel selection filtering
occurs. The IF AGC amplifies the signal returned from the SAW
filter over a 30 dB range and buffers the differential output
signal.
