About the OmniTune™ TUA6045

The OmniTune TUA6045 is an advanced RF tuner IC requiring a minimum supply voltage of only 3.3 V without compromise to its RF performance.

Operating at only 3.3 V compared to the traditional 5V corresponds to a greater than 30% less energy consumption compared to leading products in the market and perfectly fits into Infineon’s strategic decision to offer semiconductor and system solutions, addressing three central challenges to modern society: energy efficiency, communications and security.

The OmniTune RF IC is the world’s first RF tuner to incorporate a mixer-oscillator function and an IF AGC amplifier with a digitally programmable phase locked loop (PLL) for use in portable TV tuners. Both analog and digital standards for all terrestrial and cable applications are supported.
