ANADIGICS Data Tuner Solution Enables High-Speed Broadband Cable Applications

Integrated Tuner Offers a Small, DOCSIS Compliant, Low-Power Solution for Transferring High-Speed Data, Video, and Voice

Warren, NJ. ANADIGICS, a leading supplier of RF products used in the creation of tuner solutions for the cable and broadcast industries, has introduced a low power, high performance, integrated data tuner. The tuner consists of an integrated upconverter with SAW filter and an integrated downconverter with dual synthesizer. Conserving valuable printed-circuit board real estate while enabling high-speed data, video, and voice over cable, this high performance product features the lowest power consumption available in an integrated tuner for cable set-top, cable modem, and cable telephony applications.

"ANADIGICS continues to pioneer the most advanced tuner IC solutions available in the industry, enabling high-speed Internet access, voice over IP, and interactive digital services over cable," remarks Dr. Bami Bastani, President and CEO of ANADIGICS. "Using advanced packaging technology, our integrated data tuner solution raises the performance and integration bar to a level unmatched by any previous IC tuner product."

The advanced tuner solution uses both GaAs and Silicon to provide the upconverter, SAW filter, downconverter, and dual synthesizer functions in a double conversion data tuner. Its compact PCB footprint enables integration of the tuner on a PC board along with supporting electronics for data applications. Designed specifically to support the latest 256 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) digital formats, the solution reduces component count, minimizes power consumption, and offers DOCSIS compliant performance essential for next generation cable devices.

"ANADIGICS is continuing its leadership role in the RF cable space and the evolution of high performance integrated tuner products with these innovative solutions," explains Ron Michels, Vice President of Cable and Broadcast Products at ANADIGICS. "This is the next step in ANADIGICS integration program to deliver the highest-performance and lowest-power solutions using technologies best suited for broadband cable applications and giving our customers a competitive edge."

The tuner solution is priced at $7.50 in quantities of 10,000 units and will be sampling in January 2000. The devices are 100% RF tested before shipping. For additional information on this new product, contact ANADIGICS by phone (908) 668-5000 or FAX (908) 668-5132.
