  • Abstract
    Market requirements and implementation of the first broadband tuner on a chip are described. This IC is built in a 0.8-/spl mu/m BICMOS process and includes the entire signal path as well as integrated PLLs. The architecture and design are discussed at the block and transistor levels. Measured results are shown.
