Si2158
Worldwide Digital and Analog TV Tuner
Description
The Si2158 is a universal hybrid TV tuner supporting all
worldwide terrestrial and cable TV standards for digital and
analog TV reception. The Si2158 requires no external
balun and offers the lowest-cost BOM for a hybrid TV tuner.
By combining Silicon Labs' proven digital low-IF
architecture with a 4th-generation RF front-end, the Si2158
maintains the highest performance that exceeds
MOPLL-based tuners, including industry-leading 2nd-order
distortion performance.
Compared with competing silicon TV tuners, the Si2158
delivers an unprecedented level of front-end integration,
resulting in the lowest number of external BOM
components. No external tracking filters, wire-wound
inductors, LNAs, SAW filters or inductive power supply
filtering components are needed. The Si2158 offers low
power consumption as well as an option for single or dual
power supply operation. Also included is an internal
power-on reset circuit, eliminating the need for external
brownout protection components or additional pins in
module applications.
For next-generation digital TV broadcast standards, such
as DVB-T2 and DVB-C2, that are sensitive to integrated
phase noise, the Si2158 offers industry-leading phase
noise performance. A software-selectable cable mode is
also included which offers high return-loss performance.
As with prior-generation Silicon Labs TV tuners, the Si2158
delivers superior picture quality and a higher number of
received stations when compared to other silicon tuners
and discrete MOPLL-based tuners. Incorporating
worldwide field testing experience from three previous
tuner generations in high-volume production, the Si2158
delivers the highest tolerance to real-world field reception
conditions. The Si2158 also incorporates a
harmonic-rejection mixer that delivers excellent immunity
to Wi-Fi and LTE interference across the full RF input
frequency range, with no need for external filtering
components.
