Low-noise tuner receives UHF MMDS
Specifically designed for China's UHF-band multichannel multipoint distribution service (MMDS) systems, the MAX2117 is compatible with most DVB-S demodulators.
New from Maxim Integrated Products, the MAX2117 is a zero-IF (ZIF) tuner for UHF-band MMDS applications This device receives QPSK signals in the 470 to 1000MHz range and downconverts them to baseband for demodulation

Speedy DAC claims dynamic superiority for comms
The MAX5195 is a 14bit 260Msample/s DAC claimed to provide the world's best dynamic performance in spurious-free dynamic range, intermodulation distortion and signal to noise ratio.
Specifically designed for China's UHF-band MMDS systems, the MAX2117 is compatible with most DVB-S demodulators.
A low 8dB (typical) noise figure, combined with a better than 25dB (typical) adjacent-channel protection ratio (ACPR), makes this device ideal for MMDS applications.
The MAX2117 operates from a single, 3.3V +/-5% supply and consumes only 330mW.
Although it has been designed to operate with a low-cost 4MHz crystal, an internal reference divider allows the user to select any crystal in the 4 to 8MHz range.
Fully specified over the 0 to +70C commercial temperature range, the MAX2117 is available in a small 5 x 5mm, 28-pin TQFN package.
Prices start at US $5.00 (1000-up).
An evaluation kit is available to speed designs.
