Description

The STA210N is an RF IC using

STMicroelectronics BiCMOS6G SiGe Technology,

for a one chip solution for digital satellite and

terrestrial radio receiver.

The STA210N is assembled in a VFQFPN68

package. The front-end architecture is a down

conversion path, with an on chip image frequency

suppression, on chip AGC system, and one IF

variable gain path.

The IF output is usable for IF sampling

architecture.

The front-end processes both satellite and

terrestrial signals.

The IC is able to split the three Sirius broadcast

component signals into their respective sub-

bands via three different SAW filters. The

STA210N includes all the RF functions up to IF,

and it manages the signals going to and coming

from the base-band.
