Si2124
Digital Terrestrial Set-Top Box Tuner
Description
Built upon six generations of field-proven TV tuner
technology, the Si2124 is Silicon Labs’ first digital set-top
box (STB) tuner designed specifically for digital terrestrial
STB applications. Like the previous generations of Silicon
Labs' digital TV tuners, the Si2124 maintains very high
linearity and low phase noise to deliver superior picture
quality compared to competing silicon tuners.
Available in an industry-leading 3x3 mm QFN package, the
Si2124 delivers the lowest-cost, most design-friendly and
area-efficient digital terrestrial STB solution available today.
A fully-integrated RF front-end eliminates the need for an
external balun, LNAs, SAW filters, and inductive power
supply filtering. Also included is a fully-integrated
loop-through function with a zero-power mode switch
(ZPS) for additional board area and BOM savings. An
on-chip 1.8 V LDO enables single-supply operation, while
a dual-supply option offers additional system flexibility. The
Si2124’s excellent immunity to LTE interference and
harmonic rejection mixer with outstanding immunity to
Wi-Fi interference eliminate the need for external filtering.
For advanced digital broadcast standards with high-order
constellations, such as DVB-T2, the Si2124's superior
integrated phase noise delivers industry-leading reception
performance.
The Si2124 delivers a higher number of received stations
compared to other silicon tuners. Incorporating worldwide
field experience from prior generations of digital tuners in
mass production, the Si2124 delivers the highest tolerance
to real-world reception conditions.
