• Portable digital TV devices

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GMR indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing components. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Check for End-of-Life notices or Process Change Notifications that may affect long-term availability or pin compatibility. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability data for quality assurance purposes.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring support for DVB-T, ISDB-T, or DTMB standards in a small form factor. Consider the 48-QFN package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management. Verify that the system power supply can maintain stability within the 1.14 V to 3.6 V operating range. Evaluate the I2C interface requirements against the host controller capabilities.

Video Processing Part Context

This part belongs to the SI2168 family of video demodulators from Skyworks Solutions. The family includes variants such as SI2168-D60-GMR and SI2168-C55-GM, which share similar core functionalities but may differ in packaging, suffix designations, or specific regional standard optimizations. The C55 variant specifically targets consumer video applications with defined packaging options.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SI2168 family members like SI2168-D60-GMR, provided the application does not require specific regional tuning differences. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and software register compatibility before swapping. Consult official Skyworks substitution guides for validated alternatives.
