Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX2121 Direct-Conversion Tuner IC

Analog Devices MAX2121 Direct-Conversion Tuner IC is a low-cost, direct-conversion tuner IC designed for satellite set-top and VSAT applications. The Analog Devices MAX2121 directly converts the satellite signals from the LNB to the baseband using a broadband I/Q downconverter. The operating frequency range extends from 925MHz to 2175MHz.

​The device includes an LNA and an RF variable-gain amplifier, I and Q downconverting mixers, and base-band lowpass filters and digitally controlled baseband variable-gain amplifiers. Together, the RF and base-band variable-gain amplifiers provide more than 80dB of gain control range.

The Analog Devices MAX2121 includes fully monolithic VCOs and a complete fractional-N frequency synthesizer. An on-chip crystal oscillator and a buffered output for driving additional tuners and demodulators are also provided. Synthesizer programming and device configuration are accomplished with a 2-wire serial interface.
