Silicon Labs Ships 100 Million TV Tuner ICs

News

Pioneering the transition to silicon in the broadcast TV market, Silicon Laboratories Inc., has announced that it has shipped its one hundred millionth silicon TV tuner.

Silicon Labs says its TV tuners were the first to fully displace traditional tuner modules in iDTVs and have been adopted by virtually all of the name-brand TV makers. The firm's patented silicon TV tuners represent a disruptive breakthrough that enables TV makers to improve picture quality and channel reception while reducing system cost and complexity.

Silicon Labs is one of the market share leaders in silicon TV tuners,and provides high-performance hybrid tuners using standard CMOS process technology.

The company's latest Si21x8 TV tuner family is based on four generations of patented architectural enhancements. The Si21x8 silicon tuners offer one of the highest tolerances to Wi-Fi and LTE interference and excellent video signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The highly integrated modules have a low-power profile enabling TV and set-top box (STB) makers to meet Energy Star and other energy efficiency standards.

"Silicon Labs has built a reputation for creating unique intellectual property that translates into disruptive enabling technology for our customers," said James Stansberry, vice president and general manager of Silicon Labs' broadcast products. "The commercial success of our TV tuners speaks to the mixed-signal and RF innovations we've been delivering for more than a decade."

Silicon Labs' TV tuner products support all worldwide TV broadcast standards including NTSC and PAL/SECAM for analogue TV and DVB-T2/C2/T/C, ISDB-T/C, ATSC/QAM and DTMB for digital TV. All products within the Si21x8 TV tuner series are pin-to-pin compatible and share a single software API. This compatibility allows a single module or PCB design to address multiple TV and STB applications for both digital and analogue TV.
