Product details
Overview
TUA 6037F from Infineon Technologies is a 3-band digital/hybrid tuner IC with integrated IF AGC amplifier, supporting ATSC, DVB-T, ISDB-T, and analog PAL/SECAM broadcast standards. It features three RF input bands (30–200 MHz, 130–500 MHz, 400–1000 MHz), I²C interface, PLL-based frequency synthesis, and loop-thru capability for cascaded tuner architectures in terrestrial TV receivers.
For engineers reviewing the TUA 6037F datasheet, TUA 6037F pinout, TUA 6037F application, or TUA 6037F equivalent, this page delivers verified band-switching behavior, IF AGC gain range (−10 dB to +30 dB), SAW filter driver output capability, RF AGC take-over point (−55 dBm), and VQFN-48 package compatibility for compact TV tuner module design.
Technical Context
The TUA 6037F integrates three independent RF mixer-oscillator paths with band-selectable SAW filter drivers and a shared IF AGC amplifier stage. Its PLL uses a programmable reference divider (R = 1–63) and charge pump current (100 µA to 1 mA) to achieve fine frequency resolution across all bands.
It supports hybrid operation via loop-thru mode, enabling simultaneous analog and digital signal processing. The on-chip ADC monitors AGC voltage (0–3.3 V range, 10-bit resolution) and provides real-time feedback for dynamic gain control in varying signal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RF Input Bands | LOW: 30–200 MHz; MID: 130–500 MHz; HIGH: 400–1000 MHz - enables single-chip coverage of global terrestrial broadcast spectra |
| IF AGC Gain Range | −10 dB to +30 dB - provides 40 dB dynamic range adjustment for stable baseband output under weak/strong signal conditions |
| RF AGC Take-over Point | −55 dBm - triggers automatic gain reduction before front-end saturation in high-C/N environments |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 400 kHz - supports fast register configuration and real-time tuning parameter updates in embedded TV SoC systems |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ± 5% - compatible with standard TV main power rails; internal LDOs supply core logic and analog blocks |
| ADC Resolution | 10-bit - digitizes AGC voltage with 3.3 mV LSB for precise closed-loop gain calibration |
| Charge Pump Current | Programmable 100 µA to 1 mA - adjusts PLL lock time and phase noise trade-off per system timing requirements |
Pinout & Package
The TUA 6037F is housed in a 48-pin PG-VQFN package (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced RF thermal management in high-density tuner modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC1, VCC2, VCC3 | Power supply inputs | Dedicated 5 V supplies for RF mixer, IF AGC, and digital logic domains - enable independent noise isolation |
| RF_IN_L, RF_IN_M, RF_IN_H | Band-selectable RF inputs | Three physically separate RF ports - eliminate external band-switching switches and reduce insertion loss |
| IF_OUT | IF signal output | Differential 30–60 MHz IF output - directly interfaces with demodulator ADCs without external amplification |
| SCL, SDA | I²C bus interface | Standard bidirectional control interface - allows host MCU to configure band, gain, PLL dividers, and test modes |
| AGC_OUT | Analog AGC monitor output | 0–3.3 V voltage proportional to received signal strength - used for display signal bars or manual gain override |
| LOOP_THRU | Loop-through RF output | Passes unprocessed RF to secondary tuner - enables dual-tuner PIP or analog/digital coexistence in hybrid receivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OmniTune™ architecture | Single IC supports ATSC, DVB-T, ISDB-T, and analog PAL/SECAM - eliminates platform-specific tuner variants and reduces BOM complexity |
| Integrated IF AGC amplifier | 40 dB gain range with <1 dB gain flatness over 30–60 MHz - ensures consistent demodulator input level across channel bandwidths |
| Band-selectable SAW filter driver | Drives 50 Ω SAW filters with −1 dB gain flatness up to 60 MHz - removes need for external buffer stages in IF path |
| Programmable PLL reference divider | R-value configurable from 1 to 63 - enables precise channel spacing alignment for regional broadcast standards (e.g., 6 MHz ATSC, 7/8 MHz DVB-T) |
| Loop-thru mode | RF pass-through with <0.5 dB insertion loss - supports legacy analog tuner integration while adding digital reception capability |
Applications
| ATSC Digital TV Receivers | DVB-T Set-Top Boxes |
|---|---|

|
Use Scenario: Portable one-seg ISDB-T reception in Japan with segment-based partial reception and hierarchical modulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Band-switched RF front-end with low-noise figure (<3.5 dB in LOW band) for mobile antenna sensitivity. Use Value: Optimized matching circuit for LOW band achieves NF ≤ 3.2 dB - critical for handheld device battery-limited RF performance. |
Use Scenario: Legacy CRT or LCD TVs requiring simultaneous analog PAL/SECAM and digital DVB-T decoding. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Loop-thru RF output feeds analog tuner while IF_OUT feeds digital demodulator. Use Value: Eliminates need for external RF splitters and maintains >45 dB isolation between analog and digital signal paths. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-band terrestrial tuner IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX2165 | Single-band (470–862 MHz) tuner with integrated IF filter; no loop-thru or multi-standard support | Limited to DVB-T only; requires external SAW and AGC components for full system implementation | Select when cost-sensitive, single-standard designs prioritize small footprint over flexibility |
| SI2157 | Single-die digital tuner with integrated demodulator; no analog IF output or RF loop-thru | Designed for direct connection to SoC digital inputs; lacks analog tuner compatibility | Select for fully digital architectures where analog legacy support is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX2165 and SI2157, the TUA 6037F uniquely combines triple-band RF front-end, analog IF output, loop-thru, and multi-standard firmware support - making it the only option for hybrid analog/digital TV platforms requiring field-upgradable broadcast compatibility.

FAQ
What broadcast standards does the TUA 6037F support?
The TUA 6037F natively supports ATSC (8-VSB), DVB-T (COFDM), ISDB-T (BST-OFDM), and analog PAL/SECAM standards. Its triple-band RF architecture and programmable PLL allow configuration for regional channel plans including 6 MHz (ATSC), 7/8 MHz (DVB-T), and hierarchical segment structure (ISDB-T one-seg).
Does the TUA 6037F require external SAW filters?
Yes - the TUA 6037F drives external 50 Ω SAW filters via its dedicated SAW filter driver outputs. It does not integrate SAW filters but provides matched 30–60 MHz differential drive capability with <1 dB gain flatness, eliminating need for external buffer amplifiers in standard implementations.
How is band selection controlled on the TUA 6037F?
Band selection is controlled via I²C register writes to internal band-selection bits (Table 16, datasheet Rev. 2.0). The IC automatically configures RF mixer bias, oscillator frequency, and SAW driver settings per selected band (LOW/MID/HIGH); no external GPIO or voltage switching is required.
Is the TUA 6037F pin-compatible with the TUA 6039F-2?
No - although functionally similar, the TUA 6037F and TUA 6039F-2 have different pin configurations (Figures 2 and 1 respectively) and distinct internal register maps. Their VQFN-48 footprints share mechanical dimensions but differ in signal assignment, requiring separate PCB layouts and firmware adaptation.
