Designed to receive ISDB-T broadcasts in Brazil and Japan, the MAX2163A is ideal for cell phones, portable media players (PMPs) and automotive infotainment systems.

Apart from a crystal and cellular rejection filter, the MAX2163A contains all of the circuit blocks needed to receive ISDB-T.

Internal RF blocks include variable bandwidth lowpass filters, optional VHF and UHF tracking filters and on-chip power detectors that enable closed-loop automatic gain control (AGC) of the device.

Control is achieved through a two- or four-wire digital interface.

The IC can be shut down through either the digital bus or a hardware pin.

The MAX2163A is available in either a small, 6 x 6mm, 40-pin TQFN package or a custom 40-bump wafer-level package (WLP).

Both versions are specified over the -40C to +85C extended temperature range.
