MAX2160/MAX2160EBG
The MAX2160/EBG tuner ICs are designed for use in
Japanese mobile digital TV (ISDB-T single-segment)
applications. The devices directly convert UHF band
signals to a low-IF using a broadband I/Q downconvert-
er. The operating frequency range extends from
470MHz to 770MHz.
The MAX2160/EBG support both I/Q low-IF interfaces
as well as single low-IF interfaces, making the devices
universal tuners for various digital demodulator IC
implementations.
The MAX2160/EBG include an LNA, RF variable-gain
amplifiers, I and Q downconverting mixers, low-IF variable-
gain amplifiers, and bandpass filters providing in excess of
42dB of image rejection. The parts are capable of operat-
ing with either high-side or low-side local oscillator (LO)
injection. The MAX2160/EBG’s variable-gain amplifiers pro-
vide in excess of 100dB of gain-control range.
The MAX2160/EBG also include fully monolithic VCOs
and tank circuits, as well as a complete frequency syn-
thesizer. The devices include a XTAL oscillator as well
as a separate TCXO input buffer. The devices operate
with XTAL/TCXO oscillators from 13MHz to 26MHz
allowing the shared use of a VC-TCXO in cellular hand-
set applications. Additionally, a divider is provided for
the XTAL/TCXO oscillator allowing for simple and low-
cost interfacing to various channel decoders.
The MAX2160/EBG are specified for operation from
-40°C to +85°C and available in a 40-pin (6mm x 6mm)
thin QFN lead-free plastic package with exposed pad-
dle (EP), and in a 3.175mm x 3.175mm lead-free wafer-
level package (WLP).

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
Min and max values are production tested at T
A

A
= -40°C are guaranteed by
design and characterization. Default register settings are not production tested; load all registers no sooner than 100µs
after power-up.
Note 2:
In-band IIP3 is measured with two tones at f
LO
- 100kHz and f
LO
- 200kHz at a power level of -23dBm/tone. GC1 is set for
maximum attenuation (V
GC1
= 2.7V) and GC2 is adjusted to achieve 250mV
P-P
/tone at the I/Q outputs for an input desired
level of -23dBm.
Note 3:
Out-of-band IIP3 is measured with two tones at f
RF
+ 6MHz and f
RF
+ 12MHz at a power level of -15dBm/tone. GC1 is set
for maximum attenuation (V
GC1
= 2.7V) and GC2 is adjusted to achieve 0.5V
P-P
at the I/Q outputs for an input desired level
of -50dBm. f
RF
is set to 767MHz + 1/7MHz = 767.143MHz.
Note 4:
GC1 is set for maximum attenuation (V
GC1
= 2.7V). GC2 is adjusted to give the nominal I/Q output voltage level (0.5V
P-P
)
for a -50dBm desired tone at f
RF
= 550MHz. Two tones, 220MHz and 770MHz at -15dBm/tone, are then injected and the
571kHz IM2 levels are measured (with a 550.571MHz LO) at the I/Q outputs and IP2 is then calculated.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 6:
Guaranteed and tested at T
A
= +25°C and +85°C only.
