First single-chip mobile TV tuner for US and DVB-H standard

29 June 2005 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Microtune is sampling a new mobile multiband tuner chip that enables TV on handheld devices. Claimed to be the industry's first single-chip tuner with support for US and European mobile TV broadcast networks, when integrated into portable handheld devices, the MT2260 tuner permits users to watch multichannel broadcast TV with full-motion digital pictures and CD-quality sound. It is fully compliant with the Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld (DVB-H) standard, an industry specification that enables the simultaneous transmission of multiple television, radio and video channels to mobile handheld devices. Implemented in advanced SiGe process, the architecture features a shared mixer and filter structure and is single-ended to reduce components. The high integration eliminates the need for an external low-noise amplifier and transformer balun. Measuring only 6 x 6 mm², the MT2260 comes in a 40-pin QFN package, consumes 20 mW and operates from a 2,7 V power supply.
