Micronas Delivers World's Smallest Digital TV Demodulator

Micronas announced availability of the DRX3931J, an 8VSB and QAM 64/256 demodulator with integrated IF amplifier. The DRX3931J demodulates standard- and high-definition television signals according to ATSC-A/53, the North American digital television broadcast standard and QAM 64/256 signals as specified by ITU-T J.83 Annex B.

ATSC A/53 compliant demodulator meets imminent FCC tuner mandate for US market without compromising performance for size or cost.

Offered in a tiny 7×7 mm 48 pin QFN package, it is the smallest solution on the market, and represents an 80 percent reduction in size compared to other solutions. In addition to being highly cost competitive, the dramatic reduction in size also makes it uniquely suited for space-constrained designs like multi-tuner applications, PC-based systems and tuner Network Interface Modules (NIMs).
