MAX3570/MAX3571/MAX3573
The MAX3570/MAX3571/MAX3573 low-cost, broad-
band, dual-conversion tuner ICs are designed for use
in digital television receivers. Each IC integrates all
necessary RF functions, including an integrated HI-IF
filter, fully integrated VCOs, and an integrated IF VGA.
The operating frequency range extends from 50MHz to
878MHz while providing over 60dB RF/IF gain-control
range. The MAX3570/MAX3571 have an IF frequency
centered at 44MHz, while the MAX3573 has an IF out-
put centered at 36MHz.
These devices include a variable-gain front-end, achiev-
ing an overall 8dB noise figure. A dual synthesizer gen-
erates both local oscillator (LO) frequencies, providing
superior phase noise performance of -86dBc/Hz at
10kHz. The integrated HI-IF filter achieves 55dBc (typ) of
image rejection. Only an IF SAW filter, passive loop fil-
ters, and a crystal are needed to complete a single-chip
tuner. Device programming and configuration are
accomplished with a 3-wire serial interface for the
MAX3570, and with a 2-wire serial interface for the
MAX3571/MAX3573.
The MAX3570/MAX3571/MAX3573 are available in a
48-pin QFN-EP package and are specified for the com-
mercial (0°C to +70°C) temperature range.

ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
