Broadcom Samples Silicon Tuner Chipset

Broadcom announced a next-generation silicon tuner chipset for cable set-top boxes, next generation cable-ready televisions and personal video recorders (PVRs). The chipset includes a single-chip multi-channel low noise amplifier (LNA) supporting up to five radio frequency (RF) signals, and a new CMOS silicon tuner supporting both analog NTSC/PAL and digital Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) signals. Broadcom said the chipset significantly reduces the design complexity and cost of multi-tuner applications by eliminating major components required to distribute signals inside these products. Sampling is underway.
