MAX2104CCM-D

Overview

The MAX2104CCM-D is a low-cost direct-conversion tuner integrated circuit designed for digital direct-broadcast satellite (DBS) television set-top box applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 85°C. The device covers the full L-band DBS spectrum, including frequencies from 925MHz to 2175MHz, accommodating signals such as DirecTV, EchoStar, and DVB-compliant standards.

Feature Summary

• Direct-conversion architecture optimized for digital satellite reception
• Integrated tuning capability covering standard L-band DBS frequencies
• Designed specifically for integration into consumer set-top box units

Applications

• Digital direct-broadcast satellite (DBS) television set-top boxes
• Reception of DirecTV signal formats
• Reception of EchoStar signal formats
• DVB-compliant satellite signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'D' against the manufacturer's current product status documentation to confirm availability and package specifications. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact part number required for the intended application, as suffixes may indicate variations in tape-and-reel packaging or temperature grades. Cross-reference with official distributor catalogs to confirm lead times and stock levels prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for cost-sensitive DBS receiver applications requiring direct-conversion topology. Confirm compatibility with the target satellite signal standards, such as DirecTV or EchoStar, before implementation. Evaluate the thermal performance within the specified 0°C to 85°C operating range to ensure reliable operation in enclosed set-top box environments without additional cooling measures.

Part Context

The MAX2104 series represents a family of direct-conversion tuners developed for satellite television reception. This specific variant is packaged in plastic encapsulated devices suitable for surface-mount assembly. It serves as a key RF front-end solution for converting incoming L-band satellite signals to baseband frequencies for subsequent demodulation in consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Verify pinout and electrical parameter compatibility if considering alternative direct-conversion tuners from other manufacturers for this specific frequency range.
