FQ1216ME

The FQ1216ME family belongs to the new FM1200 MK3 family of small size frontends, which are designed to meet a wide range of RF applications in the PC /TV Multi-Media environment. The FQ1216ME combines the functions of an all-band TV tuner, and a multi-standard TV IF demodulation unit for both positive and negative modulated TV systems. The FQ1216ME is intended for CCIR L/L' (France), B/G, I and D/K systems. The FQ1216MP covers only CCIR B/G, D/K and I.

The frontends have a built-in digital (I²C) PLL tuning system. A DC-DC converter circuit is built-in in the FQ1216ME to synthesize the tuning voltage required, thus making the frontend a true 5V device.

The FQ1216ME/IV-3 has a fixed address of # 84 for the IF processor. For all others, a second address can be set by using a 2K2 resistor at 10 of the module. All modules use the narrowband AGC detection system.
