DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The ISG4042EU-T is an RF tuner/transmitter designed for use in EURO DOCSIS cable modem applications. It is a complete solution that interfaces directly with QAM Mod/ Demod IC's. The tuner/transmitter integrates a diplex filter, dual conversion receiver, transmit AGC amplifier, and other RF filtering (see Figure 1). The diplex filter provides over 40 dB of isolation between the TX band and the RX band. The receiver channel selects and converts QAM signals in the RX band down to the IF sampling frequency. It also provides the necessary gain control to adjust the input power to the DSP chip. The RF transmitter section provides > 56 dB of digitally controlled range while maintaining excellent linearity performance.

ISG4042EU-T PROGRAMMING INFORMATION FOR TX
Serial Interface The serial interface has an active-low enable (LD_TX) to bracket the data, with data clocked in MSB first on the rising edge of CLK. Data is stored in the storage latch on the rising edge of LD_TX. The serial interface controls the state of the transmitter. Table 1 and 2 show the register format. Serial-interface timing is shown in Figure 2. LD_RX must not be toggled. Functional Modes There are three functional modes controlled through the serial interface or external pins (Table 2): transmit mode, transmit disable mode, and software shutdown mode. Transmit Mode Transmit mode is the normal active mode. The TXEN pin must be held high in this mode. Transmit-Disable Mode When in transmit-disable mode, the power amplifier is completely shut off. This mode is activated by taking TXEN low. This mode is typically used between bursts in TDMA systems. Transients are controlled by the action of the transformer balance. High Power and Low Noise Modes The upstream has two transmit modes, high power (HP) and low noise (LN) Each of these modes is actuated by the high-order bit D7 of the 8 bit programming word. When D7 is a logic 0, LN mode is enabled. Each of these modes is characterized by activation of a distinct output stage. In HP mode, the output stage exhibits 15 dB higher gain than LN mode. The lower gain of the LN output stage allows for significantly lower output noise and lower transmit-disable transients. The full range of gain codes (D6-D0) may be used in either mode. For DOCSIS applications, HP mode is recommended for output levels at or above +42 dBmV (D7 = 1, gain code = 87), LN mode when the output level is below +42 dBmV (D7 = 0, gain code = 115). Table 2.
