NXP has announced collaboration with Taiwan-based design house, Afa Technologies to develop ultra-low power DVB-T front-end solutions for portable devices.
The first of the collaborative platforms launched combines NXP’s ultra-low power silicon tuner TDA18291 and Afa’s new AF9035 demodulator, to offer a highly integrated small form factor, low cost, low power solution for high-quality TV viewing.
“The growing demand for anytime, anywhere TV needs to be fulfilled with highly-efficient, quality viewing on a plethora of devices and the DB216 is the first of a series of concerted steps by NXP and Afa to lend our customers greater flexibility when designing portable viewing devices,” said Philip Sun, Executive Vice President of Afa Technologies. “NXP’s silicon tuners are a perfect match for Afa’s technology to deliver ultra-low power DVB-T solutions.”
“NXP’s partnership with Afa strengthens our position to deliver a digital TV viewing experience on portable devices,” said Robert Murray, Marketing Director of the Business Line TV Front End, NXP Semiconductors. “The new DVB-T front-end platforms reinforce the integration of digital TV reception, making it a real and affordable feature, for OEMs and consumers alike.”
