MAX2163ETI/V+T

Overview

The MAX2163ETI/V+T is a UHF RF tuner IC designed for ISDB-T low IF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 470MHz to 806MHz and features an I2C interface for control. The component is housed in a 28-TQFN (5x5) surface mount package, with the 'T' suffix indicating tape and reel packaging. Manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, this device serves as a specialized radio frequency integrated circuit for digital television reception systems.

Feature Summary

• Supports ISDB-T low IF architecture for digital terrestrial television
• Operates across the UHF band from 470MHz to 806MHz
• Utilizes I2C interface for configuration and control

Applications

• ISDB-T digital television receivers
• UHF TV tuner modules
• Digital set-top boxes

Procurement Notes

Verify that the part number includes the 'T' suffix to confirm tape and reel packaging format. Ensure compatibility with ISDB-T standards and UHF frequency requirements. Confirm the 28-TQFN package dimensions match the PCB layout. Check for obsolescence status as some sources indicate manufacturing discontinuation.

Selection Notes

Select this component specifically for ISDB-T compliant designs requiring UHF tuning capabilities. The I2C interface simplifies system integration compared to parallel control schemes. Consider the low IF architecture when designing intermediate frequency stages. Verify availability as the product may be obsolete or limited in supply.
