Si2151
Worldwide Digital and Analog TV Tuner
Description
The Si2151 is the industry's most advanced hybrid TV
tuner supporting all worldwide terrestrial and cable TV
standards for digital and analog TV reception. Leveraging
five generations of field-proven hybrid TV tuner technology,
the Si2151 delivers the same or better RF performance as
Silicon Labs' Si2157 hybrid TV tuner while further reducing
footprint size and bill of materials cost.
Available in an industry-leading 3x3 mm QFN package, the
Si2151 eliminates the need for an external balun, LNAs,
SAW filters, and inductive power supply filtering to deliver
the lowest-cost, most design-friendly and area-efficient
solution available today. While competing solutions may
also eliminate the balun, they suffer degradation in NF and
second-order distortion, compromising reception. A
fully-integrated 1.8 V LDO enables single supply operation,
while a dual supply option offers additional system
flexibility. Increased immunity to LTE interference and a
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 and DVB-C2, the superior
integrated phase noise of the Si2151 provides several dB
of improved reception performance compared to
competing solutions. Additionally, a software-selectable
cable mode offers optimized return loss.
The Si2151 delivers exceptional picture quality and a
higher number of received stations when compared to
other silicon tuners. Incorporating worldwide field
experience from five prior hybrid tuner generations in mass
production, the Si2151 delivers the highest tolerance to
real-world reception conditions.
