DOCSIS 3.0 tuner pushes data speeds to 160 Mbits/s

DOCSIS 3.0 tuner pushes data speeds to 160 Mbit/s

Device reduces RF footprint and power consumption by 75%

Breaking the 160-Mbit/s barrier in cable modems, the Microtuner MT2170 is offered as the first 1-GHz input tuner based on CableLabs DOCSIS 3.0 specification. The part offers the equivalent functionality of four DOCSIS 2.0 digital tuners in a 7 x 7 mm package—reducing RF footprint and power consumption by 75% over current solutions.

The tuner supports the DOCSIS 3.0 channel bonding technology and can accept bonded channels within bandwidth up to 100 MHz when paired with a DOCSIS 3.0-capable demodulator. Available in a QFN package, the device is optimized to receive and tune radio frequencies in the 50 MHz to 1 GHz range of cable spectrum. (Less than $5.00 ea/prod qty—2nd qrt 2007.)
