Silicon Tuners
Entropic offers silicon tuner solutions ideal for a variety of applications including:- iDTV, HDTV
- Cable set-top box
- Terrestrial set-top box
- Multi-tuner digital video recorder (DVR, PVR)
- Digital Cable Ready TV
- PCTV card
Our multi-mode hybrid solutions employ advanced RF system integration and innovative digital signal processing , offering best-in-class performance across multiple analog and digital standards. Our silicon tuner solutions are also ideally suited for both on-board and CAN tuner designs.
Entropic’s silicon tuners integrate RF functions including those performed by a surface acoustic wave filter, with other major discrete components into a single die while maintaining the performance of non-silicon tuner solutions. Our system architecture is capable of addressing today's legacy standard interfaces to digital demodulation ICs, and at the same time, optimized for future interfaces. Entropic's architecture is ideal for an integrated, multiple tuner, single IC implementation.
Our silicon tuners have a low noise, high dynamic range front-end and low phase noise design combined with the integrated, tunable, high selectivity RF filters to ensure that we can meet the stringent requirements of both terrestrial and cable applications. Our fully-integrated, auto-calibrated, analog signal processing and high isolation techniques, including advanced floor-planning methodologies, enable us to design multi-standard, multiple tuners on a single silicon die,resulting in a more streamlined and lower-cost development, test and assembly process.
