Si2170/1/2
Worldwide Hybrid TV Tuner with Analog Demodulator
Description
The Si2170/1/2 integrates a complete hybrid TV
tuner with analog TV demodulator supporting all
worldwide analog and digital standards for terrestrial
and cable broadcast applications. Leveraging Silicon
Labs’ proven digital low-IF architecture, the
Si2170/1/2 achieves unmatched performance while
minimizing design complexity and cost. No external
LNAs, tracking filters or SAW filters are used.
The Si2170/1/2 is the industry’s first silicon tuner to
exceed the performance of traditional discrete tuner
implementations, delivering superior picture quality
and a higher number of received stations in
real-world reception conditions. The highly linear
front-end architecture delivers superior blocking
perfromance resulting in higher sensitivity in crowded
and near/far reception conditions with strong
undesired channels and interference.
The Si2170 integrates the complete signal path from
antenna input to IF or analog video and sound
outputs. Compared to traditional discrete tuner
implementations, hundreds of external components
are eliminated including external LNAs, tracking filters
including discrete varactors and hand-tuned
inductors, two or three SAW filters, and the analog TV
demodulator, resulting in the simplest, lowest-cost
BOM for a hybrid tuner.

nterfacing the Si2170/1 seamlessly with the Si2165
DVB-T/C demodulator creates a complete terrestrial
and cable hybrid PAL/SECAM and DVB-T/C receiver.
