DBS Direct Downconverter

All versions are being discontinued and are subject to Last Time Buy, after which new orders can not be placed. See Ordering Information for recommended replacements.

The MAX2114 low-cost, direct-conversion tuner is designed for use in digital direct-broadcast satellite (DBS) television set-top box units. Its direct-conversion architecture reduces system cost compared to devices with IF-based architectures. The MAX2114 directly tunes L-band signals to baseband using a broadband I/Q downconverter. The operating frequency range spans 925MHz to 2175MHz.

The MAX2114 includes a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with gain control, I and Q downconverting mixers, lowpass filters with gain and frequency control, a local oscillator (LO) buffer with a 90° quadrature network, and a charge-pump-based phase-locked loop (PLL) for frequency control. The MAX2114 has an on-chip LO, requiring only an external varactor-tuned LC tank for operation. The LO's output drives the internal quadrature generator and has a buffer amplifier to drive off-chip circuitry. The MAX2114 comes in a 44-pin QFN package with exposed paddle (EP).
