MT145X SERIES AM/FM
TUNER MODULES
PRODUCT BRIEF
The MT145x series tuner modules,
supporting world standards, are designed
for high-end automotive radios with
digital IF.
MT145x Series Tuner Module
The MT145x Series AM/FM
Tuner Modules are designed
specifically for high-end automotive
radio and mobile entertainment
systems. They are optimized to
meet the performance, market and
pricing demands of automotive
OEM customers.
Supporting the various AM/FM
frequency allocations in the US,
Europe and Asia (including Japan)
the tuner modules offer worldwide
functionality. The 10.7 MHz IF
output interfaces with a dedicated
DSP (e.g. STMicroelectronics
TDA7580 or TDA7581) to form a
DSP-based digital AM/FM radio.
New broadcasting standards like
HD-Radio™ or DRM are supported
as an option. In addition, a FM-only
version of the tuner is available in
order to add highly sophisticated
features like FM phase diversity to
the system. MT145x modules also
incorporate a high-performance fast
PLL for inaudible checking of
alternative frequencies within RDS
networks.
For FM mode, a keyed AGC
function is implemented to prevent
receiver desensitization due to
erroneous AGC response while in
AM mode, a narrow band filter
improves selectivity. Superb
sensitivity is also provided for
MW/LW/SW reception. Moreover
the modules feature an automatic
alignment for the tracking filter and
the image rejection filters. All
alignment data is stored on an onboard EEPROM which can be
accessed by a serial bus interface
like all the other tuner functions.
The MT145x series modules
were qualified under typical
automotive operating conditions
and fully comply with RoHS
requirements. Modules are
available in a shielded horizontal
(optional vertical) housing.
