TDA18218HN

General description

The TDA18218HN is a Silicon Tuner IC designed for digital terrestrial (DVB-T) TV reception. The TDA18218HN integrates the overall tuning function, including selectivity and provides a low-IF output signal.

The TDA18218HN uses integrated IF filters to support 6 MHz, 7 MHz or 8 MHz channel bandwidths. The TDA18218HN requires only one single 16 MHz crystal for clock generation. A clock signal is available on crystal oscillator output pins (XTO_P / XTO_N) to synchronize the channel decoder.

The TDA18218HN is a low cost Silicon Tuner targeting digital terrestrial applications. The TDA18218HN matches the performance of the conventional can tuners. Additionally, the following benefits can be stated:

• Easy on-board integration
• Drastically reduces:
  • the size of the tuner function
  • the power consumption

Features

• Fully integrated IF selectivity; eliminating the need for external SAW filters
• Fully integrated oscillators with no external components
• Integrated wideband gain control
• Alignment free
• RF loop-through for easy implementation in the Set-Top Box (STB)
• Integrated die thermal sensor
• Single 3.3 V power supply
• Low power consumption (750 mW)
• Crystal oscillator output buffer (16 MHz) for single crystal applications
• I²C-bus interface compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers
• Three Standby modes
• RoHS packaging
