Product details
Overview
TUA6010XS from Infineon Technologies is a TV tuner integrated circuit combining a digitally programmable PLL and a mixer-oscillator block with two double-balanced mixers, VHF/HYPER/UHF oscillators, internal band switch, and 5-level A/D converter. It operates up to 900 MHz with 62.5 kHz frequency resolution using a 4 MHz crystal, supports fast I²C bus mode, and delivers short lock-in time for rapid channel switching in analog and digital TV receivers.
For engineers reviewing the TUA6010XS datasheet, TUA6010XS pinout, TUA6010XS application, or TUA6010XS equivalent, key selection considerations include its PLL lock flag output, three high-current switch outputs, dual balanced mixer architecture, internal low-noise reference voltage source, and TSSOP-28 package compatibility with tuner RF layout constraints.
Technical Context
The TUA6010XS integrates a fully digital PLL with no asynchronous divider stage, enabling precise 62.5 kHz frequency steps across VHF (47–230 MHz), HYPER (230–470 MHz), and UHF (470–900 MHz) bands using a 4 MHz crystal reference. Its mixer-oscillator block features amplitude- and frequency-stable balanced oscillators with optimum input-to-oscillator decoupling.
The device implements an I²C interface with four programmable chip addresses and supports fast-mode I²C (up to 400 kHz), while providing TTL-compatible inputs, a 5-level A/D converter for signal strength detection, and dedicated lock-in and power-down status flags readable via the same bus.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TV tuner mixer-oscillator-PLL applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX2104 | Integrated LNA + mixer + PLL; 3.3 V operation; no internal band switch; requires external VCO | Targets modern low-power DVB-T2 designs; lacks HYPER-band support and 5-level A/D | Select when migrating to 3.3 V systems and requiring higher integration beyond mixer-oscillator-PLL |
| SI2151 | Single-die silicon tuner with integrated ADC, demodulator, and I²C interface; no discrete mixer-oscillator block | Replaces entire tuner + demodulator chain; not pin- or function-compatible with TUA6010XS | Select for full digital tuner SoC migration where baseband processing is co-located on same board |
Compared with MAX2104 and SI2151, the TUA6010XS retains discrete analog RF signal path control, supports legacy 5 V tuner architectures, and delivers proven VHF/HYPER/UHF coverage with minimal external components-making it suitable for cost-sensitive analog/dual-standard TV platforms where design continuity matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the TUA6010XS oscillator?
The TUA6010XS oscillator supports output frequencies up to 900 MHz across VHF (47–230 MHz), HYPER (230–470 MHz), and UHF (470–900 MHz) bands. This range covers all major analog TV and early digital broadcast standards including NTSC, PAL, SECAM, DVB-C, and DVB-T. The upper limit is defined by internal oscillator core design and verified in AC/DC characterization at 25 °C ambient.
Does the TUA6010XS require external loop filter components for PLL operation?
Yes, the TUA6010XS requires external passive loop filter components (typically R-C or R-C-R network) connected between the charge pump output (CP) and VCO tuning input (VTUNE). The datasheet specifies recommended values for type-I and type-II filters depending on desired lock time and stability margin. No internal loop filter is integrated.
Can the 5-level A/D converter be used for automatic gain control (AGC) feedback?
The 5-level (3-bit) A/D converter provides coarse RSSI indication suitable for basic AGC threshold decisions-such as band switching or coarse IF amplifier gain adjustment-but lacks resolution for fine-grained closed-loop AGC. It is intended for supervisory signal presence detection rather than precision level measurement.
Is the TUA6010XS qualified for industrial temperature range operation?
No, the TUA6010XS is specified for commercial temperature range only (0 °C to +70 °C), as confirmed in Section 5.1.2 "Operating Range" of the August 1999 preliminary datasheet. It is not characterized or guaranteed for extended industrial (−40 °C to +85 °C) or automotive temperature grades.
