Elonics has released low-power, high-definition compatible silicon tuner in a 32-lead 5x5mm QFN, lead-free, RoHS-compliant package. The E4005 low IF compatible silicon tuner consumes less than 140mW whereas the E4002 zero IF tuner consumes less than 130mW. Low IF output tuners are convenient to route on a PCB because of its low frequencies. The company claims that the E4005 features a multi-band RF filter that reduces the impact of high level far out-of-band interferers and its single IF output reduces the PCB footprint. It utilises the company's DigitalTune IP that allows the silicon tuner to be configured in software to support digital TV standards. The E4002 silicon tuner is a zero IF output only pin and software compatible version of the E4005 tuner.
