ISDB-T 1-Segment Tuner
The MAX2163 low-IF tuner IC is designed for use in
1-segment ISDB-T applications. The MAX2163 directly
converts UHF band signals to a low-IF using a broadband I/Q downconverter. The operating frequency
range covers the UHF band from 470MHz to 806MHz.
The MAX2163 includes LNAs, RF variable gain amplifiers, I and Q downconverting mixers, a baseband variable gain amplifier, and a low-IF filter. The MAX2163’s
variable gain amplifiers provide in excess of 100dB of
control range.
The MAX2163 also includes fully monolithic VCOs as
well as a complete frequency synthesizer including an
on-chip crystal oscillator and output buffer. The device
operates with a crystal from 32MHz to 36MHz.
The MAX2163 features a 2-wire I2C-compatible serialcontrol interface. A low-power standby mode is available that shuts down the signal path leaving the control
interface and register circuits active. Additionally, an
external pin can shut down the entire device.
The MAX2163 is specified for operation in the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range and is available
in a 5mm x 5mm x 0.8mm, 28-pin thin QFN, lead-free
plastic package with exposed paddle (EP).

Definitions
Table 16 defines the register setup for normal and highlinearity modes.
2-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX2163 features a 2-wire I2C-compatible serial
interface consisting of a serial-data line (SDA) and a
serial-clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate bidirectional communication between the MAX2163 and the
master at clock frequencies up to 400kHz. The master
device initiates a data transfer on the bus and generates
the SCL signal to permit data transfer. The MAX2163
functions as an I 2C slave device that transfers and
receives data to and from the master. Pull SDA and SCL
high with external pullup resistors of 1kΩ or greater referenced to MAX2163 VCCDIG for proper I2C operation.
One bit transfers during each SCL clock cycle. A minimum of nine clock cycles is required to transfer a byte
into or out of the MAX2163 (8 bits and an ACK/NACK).
The data on SDA must remain stable during the high
period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA while
SCL is high and stable are considered control signals
(see the START and STOP Conditions section). Both
SDA and SCL remain high when the bus is not busy.
START and STOP Conditions
The master initiates a transmission with a START condition (S), which is a high-to-low transition on SDA while
SCL is high. The master terminates a transmission with
a STOP condition (P), which is a low-to-high transition
on SDA while SCL is high.

Acknowledge and
Not-Acknowledge Conditions
Data transfers are framed with an acknowledge bit
(ACK) or a not-acknowledge bit (NACK). Both the master and the MAX2163 (slave) generate acknowledge
bits. To generate an acknowledge, the receiving device
must pull SDA low before the rising edge of the
acknowledge-related clock pulse (ninth pulse) and
keep it low during the high period of the clock pulse.
To generate a not-acknowledge condition, the receiver
allows SDA to be pulled high before the rising edge of
the acknowledge-related clock pulse, and leaves SDA
high during the high period of the clock pulse.
Monitoring the acknowledge bits allows for detection of
unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data
transfer happens if a receiving device is busy or if a
system fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus master must reattempt
communication at a later time.

transmission by issuing a STOP condition. The write
cycle does not terminate until the master issues a STOP
condition.
Figure 2 illustrates an example in which registers 0
through 2 are written with 0x0E, 0x08, and 0xE1,
respectively.
The MAX2163 has a 7-bit I2C slave address that must
be sent to the device following a START condition to initiate communication. The slave address is internally
programmed to C0 or C2 for WRITE and C1 or C3 for
READ. See Table 2.
The MAX2163 continuously awaits a START condition
followed by its slave address. When the device recognizes its slave address, it acknowledges by pulling the
SDA line low for one clock period; it is ready to accept
or send data depending on the R/W bit (Figure 1).
Read Cycle
When addressed with a read command, the MAX2163
allows the master to read back a single register or multiple successive registers.
A read cycle begins with the bus master issuing a
START condition followed by the 7 slave address bits
and a write bit (R/W = 0). The MAX2163 issues an ACK if
the slave address byte is successfully received. The bus
master must then send the address of the first register it
wishes to read (see Table 1 for register addresses). The
slave acknowledges the address. Then a START condition is issued by the master, followed by the 7 slave
address bits and a read bit (R/W = 1). The MAX2163
issues an ACK if the slave address byte is successfully
received. The MAX2163 starts sending data MSB first
with each SCL clock cycle. At the 9th clock cycle, the
master can issue an ACK and continue to read successive registers, or the master can terminate the transmission by issuing a NACK. The read cycle does not
terminate until the master issues a STOP condition.
Figure 3 illustrates an example in which registers 0
through 2 are read back.
Write Cycle
When addressed with a write command, the MAX2163
allows the master to write to a single register or to multiple successive registers.
A write cycle begins with the bus master issuing a
START condition followed by the 7 slave address bits
and a write bit (R/W = 0). The MAX2163 issues an ACK
if the slave address byte is successfully received. The
bus master must then send the address of the first register it wishes to write to (see Table 1 for register
addresses). The slave acknowledges the address, and
the master can then write one byte to the register at the
specified address. Data is written beginning with the
most significant bit (MSB). The MAX2163 again issues
an ACK if the data is successfully written to the register.
The master can continue to write data to the successive
internal registers with the MAX2163 acknowledging
each successful transfer, or the master can terminate

Applications Information
RF Input (UHFIN)
The MAX2163 UHFIN input is internally matched to
50Ω.
RF Overload Detector
The MAX2163 includes an RF overload detector. The
RF overload detector circuit is enabled or disabled with
the DRFD bit as shown in Table 10 (R-Divider LSB/CP
register).
RF Gain Control (GC1)
IF Gain Control (GC2)
The MAX2163 features multistage RF variable gain
amplifiers controlled by pin GC1 that provide in excess
of 54dB typical of RF gain control range. The voltage
control range is 0.3V at maximum gain to 2.1V at minimum gain. The RF gain control can be configured for
open-loop control or for closed-loop RF automatic gain
control (AGC) when combined with the on-chip IF power
detector. To set the response time of the AGC, connect a
capacitor from GC1 to ground. See the Closed-Loop RF
Gain Control section for more information.
The MAX2163 features an IF variable gain amplifier that
provides in excess of 65dB of IF gain control range.
The voltage control VGC2 range is 0.3V at maximum
gain to 2.1V at minimum gain. The IF VGA is controlled
by the channel decoder.
Optional RF Tracking Filter
The MAX2163 features an optional RF tracking filter at
the output of the 3rd-stage RFVGA. This filter is controlled by the RFLT bits as shown in the MODE register.
See Table 7. To enable the filter, set RFFB bit to 0; to
disable filter, set RFFB bit to 1. See Table 17 for proper
center frequency settings. In the event that the RF tracking filter is not used, do not install the 18nH inductor.

IF Power Detector
The MAX2163 features a true RMS IF power detector at
the mixer output with adjustable bandwidth. The power
detector circuit is enabled or disabled with the
PDBM[1:0] bits in the PDET/RF-FILT register (Table 6).
The attack point can be set through the PDET[2:0] bits
in the PDET/RF-FILT register (see Table 6 for a summary of attack-point settings).
The PWRDET pin can be configured to provide a lowimpedance buffered and scaled version of either the
GC1 voltage when using the on-chip closed loop AGC,
or the IF power detectors RMS voltage for use in off-chip
closed loop AGC schemes. The output voltage at this pin
ranges from 0.3V to 2.1V, with 2.1V indicating the maximum RF input power. This output allows the baseband
processor to monitor the received RF power level.
When using the on-chip closed-loop AGC function
(PDBM = 11), the PWRDET buffer provides a lowimpedance buffered version of the GC1 voltage. This output can be monitored by the demodulator LSI to determine
the state of the RF front-end and subsequently used to
control other circuits (external LNA) or various demodulator functions. The PWRDET output can also be disabled
for reduced overall power consumption (PDBM = 00).
For use in off-chip closed-loop AGC schemes, the
PWRDET buffer output can be configured to provide a
low-impedance scaled version of the IF power detectors RMS voltage (PDBM = 10). In this mode, an external voltage is applied to the GC1 pin to close the loop.

Closed-Loop RF Gain Control
VCO Autoselect (VAS)
The MAX2163 can provide either open-loop RF gain
control by the GC1 pin or closed-loop RF automatic
gain control (AGC) by the on-chip power detector.
Automatic RF gain control is enabled by setting the
PDBM[1:0] bits to 00 as shown in the PDET/RF-FILT
register (Table 6). Setting the PDBM[1:0] bits to 10
allows open-loop RF gain control by the GC1 pin.
When the RF AGC loop is disabled, RF gain is controlled by an external voltage that is applied to the GC1
pin. The GC1 pin’s input voltage range is 0.3V to 2.1V
with 0.3V providing the maximum RF gain.
When the RF AGC loop is enabled, the IF power detector output is internally connected to the GC1 input and
the RF gain is controlled by the power detector’s output
voltage. An external capacitor connected from the GC1
pin to ground sets the AGC loop response time. The
loop response time is calculated as follows:
tSETTLING = 41.7 x R x CEXT
where:
R = 1kΩ
CEXT = External capacitor from GC1 to ground in
farads.
The attack point (referred to as the RF input) of the AGC
loop can be programmed from -66dBm to -52dBm and
is controlled by the PDET[2:0] bits in the PDET/RF-FILT
register (Table 6).
The MAX2163 includes three VCOs with each VCO having 16 sub-bands. The appropriate VCO and VCO subband for the desired local oscillator frequency can be
manually selected by programming the VCO[1:0] and
VSB[3:0] bits in the VCO register. The selected VCO and
sub-band is reported in the VAS STATUS register (read
only) (Table 13).
High-Side and Low-Side LO Injection
The MAX2163 allows selection between high-side and
low-side LO injection through the HSLS bit in the MODE
register (Table 7). To select low-side injection, set HSLS
to 1; to select high-side injection, set HSLS to 0.
IF Filter
The nominal IF filter center frequency and bandwidth
are 571kHz and 860kHz, respectively.
The center frequency of the IF bandpass filter is tuned
at the factory; however, the factory-set trim can be
bypassed and the center frequency can be adjusted
through the FLTS and TUN[2:0] bits in the IF Filter register (Table 3). Set the FLTS bit to 0 to select the filter’s
center frequency to the factory-set tuning. Set the FLTS
bit to 1 to allow the filter’s center frequency to be
adjusted with the TUN[2:0] bits (Table 3).
20
Alternatively, the MAX2163 can be set to autonomously
choose a VCO and VCO sub-band. Automatic VCO
selection is enabled by setting the VAS bit in the VAS
register (Table 4) and is initiated once the N-divider LSB
register word is loaded. In the event that the R-divider
is changed, both the R-Divider MSB and R-Divider
LSB registers must be reprogrammed. Also, if the
R-Divider or the N-Divider MSB is changed, the
N-Divider LSB register must also be reprogrammed to
initiate the VCO autoselect function. The VCO and
VCO sub-band that are programmed in the VCO[1:0] and
VSB[3:0] bits serve as the starting point for the automatic
VCO selection process when VASS = 0. When VASS = 1,
the current VCO and VCO sub-bands serve as the starting point for the automatic VCO selection process.
During the selection process, the VASE bit in the VAS
STATUS register is cleared to indicate the autoselection
function is active. Upon successful completion, bits VASE
and VASA are set and the VCO and sub-band selected
are reported in the VAS STATUS register (Table 13). If the
search is unsuccessful, VASA is cleared and VASE is set.
This indicates that searching has ended, but no VCO has
been found, and occurs when trying to tune to a frequency outside the VCO’s specified frequency range.
Charge-Pump Select (CPS)
The MAX2163 allows for manual selection of the
charge-pump current (CPS = 0) or automatic selection
(CPS = 1). When in manual mode, the charge-pump
current is programmed by bits CP[1:0] in the R-Divider
LSB register (Table 9). In automatic selection mode, the
charge-pump current is automatically set based on
VTUNE voltage and current VCO sub-band. ADE, ADL,
and VAS bits must be programmed to 1. The selected
charge-pump current is reported in Table 18 .

Layout Considerations
The MAX2163 Evaluation Kit serves as a guide for PCB
layout. Keep RF signal lines as short as possible to minimize losses and radiation. Use controlled impedance on
all high-frequency traces. Use abundant ground vias
between RF traces to minimize undesired coupling.
Bypass each VCC_ pin to ground with a 0.1µF capacitor
placed as close as possible to the pin.
Loop-Time Constant Selection
The loop-time constant (LTC) function sets the wait time
for an ADC read when in VCO autoselect mode. This
wait time determines how long the VCO autoselect circuit waits for the PLL to settle before determining if
VCO selection was successful. The loop time constant
is selectable by the LTC[1:0] bits in the VAS register
(Table 4).
XTALOUT Buffer
The reference buffer/divider is provided for driving
external devices. The internal frequency divider is fixed
at 2, and the buffer can provide a minimum 500mVP-P
signal swing into a load of 4kΩ||10pF with a guaranteed
duty cycle of 45% to 55%. Upon power-up or coming
out of shutdown, the XTALOUT buffer is held in shutdown for an additional 3ms (typ) by an internal timer
circuit. This allows the crystal oscillator sufficient time to
start up properly, without unwanted parasitic feedback
from the output buffer.
When using the optional UHF tracking filter, keep the
external inductor as close to the IC as possible and allow
it to connect back to the top side ground as close as
possible to the IC.
To ensure proper crystal oscillator startup, place the
crystal near the MAX2163 XTAL pin (pin 21). The crystal ground should have a clear, short return back to the
MAX2163 ground paddle near XTAL. Minimize the parasitic capacitance between the board traces of XTAL
(pin 21) and XTALOUT (pin 22). Refer to the MAX2163
Evaluation Kit data sheet for a recommended board
layout.
In addition, the ground returns for the VCO, VTUNE,
and charge pump require special layout consideration
(see the Typical Application Circuit). The LDO capacitor (C66) and VCCVCO bypass capacitor (C17)
grounds should be routed back to the MAX2163
ground paddle near pin 28. The loop filter ground connections of C27, C28, and C30 should be connected
together before tapping down to the overall ground
plane with a clear path back to pin 25 (GNDSYN).
When using the TQFN packaged device, the exposed
paddle must be soldered evenly to the board’s ground
plane for proper operation. Use abundant vias beneath
the exposed paddle for maximum heat dissipation.

MAX2163
3-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter
The MAX2163 includes a 3-bit ADC. Its input is connected to the VCO tune pin (VTUNE). This ADC can be
used for checking the lock status of the VCOs.
Table 19 summarizes the phase-locked loop (PLL) lock
status based on ADC[2:0] values. The VCO autoselect
routine only selects a VCO in the VAS locked range.
This allows room for a VCO to drift over temperature
and remain in a valid locked range.
When VCO autoselect is disabled, the ADC must first be
enabled by setting the ADE bit in the VAS register. The
ADC reading is latched by a subsequent programming
of the ADC latch bit (ADL = 1). The ADC value is reported
in the STATUS register (Table 12).
