STB6000

QPSK DVB/DSS Direct Conversion Tuner IC

As direct broadcast satellite (DBS) continues to add content and entertainment value for consumers, the DBS set-top box receiver also continues its evolution, adding functions (like watch-record) and driving down the receiver BOM count and component cost. The STB6000, designed by RF Magic and sold by STMicroelectronics, is leading this evolution. It is the latest generation in direct conversion (zero IF) satellite tuners for consumer STB receivers; it includes an LNA, mixers, filters, VCO/PLL, and gain control in an ultra small 5mm x 5mm 32pin QFN package.

Applications

• DVB, DVB-S operator and free-to-air satellite receivers
• Dual (watch-record) satellite receivers
