General Description
The MAX3543 hybrid broadband single-conversion tele-
vision tuner is designed for use in analog (PAL, SECAM)
+ digital (DVB-T, GB20600) television sets and terrestrial
receivers. It receives all television bands from 47MHz
to 862MHz and converts the selected channel to an
industry-standard 36MHz IF.
The MAX3543 includes a variable-gain low-noise input
amplifier; an RF tracking filter; an image rejection mixer;
a peak detector; an optional internal, self-contained
RF gain-control loop (RFAGC); a VCO with fractional-N
PLL; an IF bandpass filter; an IF variable-gain amplifier;
separate analog and digital IF outputs; and a crystal
oscillator.
The MAX3543 is available in a small, 6mm x 6mm, thin QFN
package, and the application circuit fits in 20mm x 25mm on
a two-layer board with single-sided component mounting.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
