TDA18211HD/C2,557

Video Processing Overview

The TDA18211HD/C2,557 is a silicon tuner integrated circuit designed for digital terrestrial television reception. It operates within an RF frequency range of 174 to 864 MHz and utilizes a single 3.3 V power supply with a typical power dissipation of 780 mW. The device provides a low-IF output signal and incorporates fully integrated RF tracking filters and IF selectivity, eliminating the need for external SAW filters. It supports 6/7/8 MHz channel bandwidths and features an I2C-bus interface compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Fully integrated RF tracking filters and IF selectivity without requiring external SAW components
• Supports dual-tuner configurations through master and slave synchronization modes
• Includes an integrated die thermal sensor and input power level indicator
• Provides a crystal oscillator output buffer for synchronizing channel decoders

Video Processing Applications

• DVB-T Set-Top-Box (STB)
• Digital TV receiver

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix /C2,557 corresponds to the HLQFN64R package variant as documented in the official NXP datasheet. Confirm that the component meets RoHS packaging requirements and check for any discontinued status or lifecycle alerts associated with this specific part number before finalizing procurement plans.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring a low-cost silicon tuner for digital terrestrial applications. It is suitable for designs needing easy on-board integration and drastically reduced tuner size compared to conventional can tuners. Ensure the design accommodates a single 16 MHz crystal reference and supports the required I2C control interface.
