Description
The Si2107/08/09/10 are a family of pin-compatible, complete front-end solutions
for DSS and DVB-S digital satellite reception. The IC family incorporates a tuner,
demodulator, and LNB controller into a single device resulting in significantly
reduced board space and external component count. The device supports symbol
rates of 1 to 45 MBaud over a 950 to 2150 MHz range. A full suite of features
including automatic acquisition, fade recovery, blind scanning, performance
monitoring, and DiSEqC Level 2.2 compliant signaling are supported. The Si2108/
10 further add short circuit protection, overcurrent protection, and a step-up dc-dc
controller to implement a low-cost LNB supply solution. Si2109/10 versions
include a hardware channel scan accelerator for fast “blindscan”. The Si2107/08/
09/10 family features new channel detection and acquisition technology:
QuickLock
for Si2107/08/09/10 and
QuickScan
for Si2109/10.
QuickLock
achieves fast channel acquisition and
QuickScan,
fast channel detection. An I

C
bus interface is used to configure and monitor all internal parameters.

Notes:
1.
Permanent damage may occur if the absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. Functional operation should be
restricted to the conditions as specified in the operations sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum
rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2.
The Si2107/08/09/10 is a high-performance RF integrated circuit. Handling and assembly of these devices should
only be done at ESD-protected workstations.

Notes:
1.
For a single channel with SR = 27.5 Mbaud, CR = 7/8, and no added noise. Input power range over which bit error rate
is less than 2e-4 after Viterbi decoder.
2.
Max gain = 0hFFFF in AGC settings registers (25h–26h).
Min gain = 0h0000 in AGC settings registers (25h–26h).
3.
IM3 can be calculated as follows: IM3 = 2 x (IP3 – P
in
).
