TDA18260HN

TDA18260HN Dual cable Silicon Tuner Rev. 2 — 14 December 2010 Preliminary data sheet 1. General description The TDA18260HN is a dual Silicon Tuner IC designed specifically for high definition multi-tuner cable Set Top Boxes (STBs) supporting single streaming and multi-streaming PVR STBs with watch, record, video-on-demand and in-home video distribution capability. Used in conjunction with the TDA10025HN (dual digital channel demodulator), the TDA18260HN covers all worldwide digital cable standards. The TDA18260HN ensures a low system cost as: – Costly components such as low noise amplifiers, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters and incremental crystal oscillators have been eliminated from the system Bill Of Materials (BOM) The TDA18260HN high performance Silicon Tuner meets today’s digital cable TV reception needs with: – Matched performance levels for master and slave tuners – Low power consumption – High linearity – Low noise figure The TDA18260HN ensures ease of use with: – Easy on-board integration – Efficient and effective PCB design – Reduced external components 2. Features and benefits  Supports up to three tuner functions (up to six individual streams) specifically aimed for gateways and STBs:  Two low IF outputs  Two RF outputs to drive slave tuners  Integrated splitter eases and simplifies the design of dual Tuner PVR  Integrated wideband gain control  Extended frequency coverage up to 1002 MHz  Single 3.3 V power supply  Low power consumption  Mu...
