The SL1935 is a complete single chip bus controlled Zero IF tuner and operates from 950 to 2150MHz. It includes an on board low phase noise PLL frequency synthesiser and low noise LNA/AGC. The SL1935 is intended primarily for application in digital satellite Network Interface Modules and performs the complete tuner function.

The SL1935 contains all elements necessary, with the exception of local oscillator tuning network and crystalreference, to produce a high performance I(n-phase) & Q(uadrature) downconversion tuner function. Due to the high signal handling design the device does not require any front end tracking filters.

The SL1935 includes selectable baseband signal paths, allowing application with two externally definable filter bandwidths, facilitating application in variable symbol rate and simulcast systems. The SL1935 is optimised to interface with the VP310 (ADC/QPSK/FEC) Satellite Channel Decoder, available from Zarlink Semiconductor and offers a full front end solution.
