Popis: Silicon TV tuners have recently achieved and surpassed bulky CAN tuners in terms of circuit performance, providing TV manufacturers lower-cost, smaller foot-print, and more reliable solutions. Silicon TV tuners also made packing multiple tuners into a single die or package possible. Multiple tuners are often needed for feature-rich TVs and Set-Top-Boxes with DVR, picture-in-picture and fast channel switching capabilities. Implemented in a 40nm CMOS technology, this paper presents major building blocks for a monolithic dual-tuner with active splitter, tracking filters and output buffers, a compact low-power VCO based ADC and a local oscillator generation scheme featuring a 17GHz VCO with fractional dividers.
