Summary of Tiny hybrid TV Tuner Chip Using Arduino
Silicon Labs launched a 3 mm square hybrid TV tuner chip supporting global terrestrial and cable standards. This fully integrated design removes the need for external baluns, LNAs, SAW filters, and inductive power supply filtering. It features a 1.8 V LDO regulator for single-supply operation and offers dual-supply flexibility. The chip includes enhanced immunity to LTE interference and utilizes a harmonic rejection mixer to filter out Wi-Fi signals without external components.
Parts used in the Tiny Hybrid TV Tuner Chip Project:

- Harmonic rejection mixer
- Arduino platform (referenced for implementation details)
Silicon Labs have introduced a tiny 3 mm square hybrid TV tuner chip which supports reception of all worldwide terrestrial and cable TV transmission standards.
According to its preliminary data sheet its design eliminates the need for an external balun, LNAs, SAW filters, and inductive power supply filtering. Some competing TV tuner solutions also eliminate the balun but can suffer from degraded NF and second-order distortion, which compromises reception. A fully-integrated 1.8 V LDO power supply regulator enables single supply operation, while a dual supply option offers additional system flexibility. Increased immunity to LTE interference and a harmonic rejection mixer filters out Wi-Fi interference and eliminates the need for external filtering.
