Hybrid TV tuner
chips dominate the market
Philips has now sold 15 million hybrid analogue/digital TV tuner chips, accounting for over 30% of the total number of tuner chips sold worldwide since 2003
Philips' advanced versatile hybrid tuner chips meet the various worldwide standards for both analogue and digital devices. This integration simplifies the design process by combining both functionalities in a single chip. By reducing the amount of discrete components manufacturers can easily and more cost-effectively introduce new digital TV (DTV) devices, cable/terrestrial tuners and set-top boxes (STBs) with faster time to market.
