The SL1710 is a quadrature downconverter, intended for
use with both Professional and Consumer Digital Satellite
Applications.
The device contains high linearity, low noise amplifiers,
quadrature mixers, plus an on-chip oscillator, operating
between 350MHz and 500MHz, which may be synthesised via
the differential prescaler outputs.
An AGC with 18dB gain control is provided to cope with a
wide range of input signal levels.
I and Q outputs are via low impedance single ended
amplifiers. These may be connected to a dual channel analog
to digital converter such as the
PCA916,
VP216, VP215 or
VP213, via a suitable anti-alias filter.
