General Description

The MAX2165 direct-conversion tuner IC is designed for handheld digital video broadcast (DVB-H) applications. The tuner covers a 470MHz to 780MHz input frequency range and features an I/Q baseband interface. The MAX2165’s direct-conversion architecture eliminates the need for an IF-SAW filter, allowing for reduced bill of materials cost. The design integrates a variable-gain, low-noise amplifier (LNA); a notch filter; an RF tracking filter; a quadrature mixer; a power detector; programmable baseband lowpass channel selection filters; baseband variable-gain amplifiers (VGA); DC offset correction circuitry; and a complete fractional-N frequency synthesizer. The part is programmable through a 2-wire I2C-compatible serial interface.
