SI2169-D60-GM

Video Processing Overview

The Si2169-D60-GM is a single-chip digital TV demodulator integrating DVB-T2, T, C, S, S2, and S2X standards. It operates with input clock references from 4 to 30 MHz and supports bandwidths of 1.7, 5, 6, 7, and 8 MHz. The device utilizes two power supplies: VDD_VCORE (1.14–1.30 V) and VDD_VANA/VDD_VIO (3.00–3.60 V). Total power consumption varies by mode, ranging from 14 mW for DVB-C to 42 mW for DVB-S2. It features a 7x7 mm QFN-48 package.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Integrates digital demodulators for first and second generation DVB standards including T2-Lite support.
• Supports satellite reception for DVB-S, DSS, DVB-S2, and S2X standards with DiSEqC 2.0 interface.
• Includes blind scan algorithms for DVB-S/S2/S2X and DVB-C standards with fast lock times.
• Features flexible transport stream output interfaces compatible with MPEG decoders.

Video Processing Applications

• iDTV on-board design or in a NIM
• Advanced multimedia STB, PVR, and Blu-ray recorders
• PC-TV accessories

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'GM' against official Skyworks documentation to confirm the tray packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with host system voltage levels and I2C/SPI interfaces before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest datasheet revision.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring comprehensive support for terrestrial, cable, and satellite broadcast standards in a single IC. The pin-to-pin compatibility with the Si216x/8x family facilitates migration from previous generations. Consider the low power consumption and integrated equalizer for cost-optimized front-end solutions.

Video Processing Part Context

This part belongs to the Si2169D series of HDTV MPEG System-on-Chips. It leverages Skyworks' proven digital demodulation architecture to minimize front-end complexity. The device is designed to connect with hybrid or digital-only tuners like the Si217x/5x/4x series for complete TV front-end solutions.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

The datasheet indicates pin-to-pin compatibility with the broader Si216x/8x single demodulator family. Verify API compatibility if migrating between single and dual demodulator variants within the same product line.
