Complete, Direct-Conversion Tuner for DVB-S  
and Free-to-Air Applications  
MAX120  
General Description  
Features  
o 925MHz to 2175MHz Frequency Range  
The MAX2120 low-cost, direct-conversion tuner IC is  
designed for satellite set-top and VSAT applications.  
The IC is intended for QPSK, Digital Video Broadcast  
(DVB-S), DSS, and free-to-air applications.  
o Monolithic VCO: No Calibration Required  
o -75dBm to 0dBm High Dynamic Range  
o 4MHz to 40MHz Integrated Variable BW LP Filters  
o Single +3.3V 5% Supply  
The MAX2120 directly converts the satellite signals  
from the LNB to baseband using a broadband I/Q  
downconverter. The operating frequency range extends  
from 925MHz to 2175MHz.  
o Low-Power Standby Mode  
o Address Pin for Multituner Applications  
o Differential I/Q Interface  
The device includes an LNA and an RF variable-gain  
amplifier, I and Q downconverting mixers, and baseband  
lowpass filters with programmable cutoff frequency  
control and digitally controlled baseband variable-gain  
amplifiers. Together, the RF and baseband variable-gain  
amplifiers provide more than 80dB of gain-control range.  
The IC is compatible with virtually all QPSK demodulators.  
o I2C 2-Wire Serial Interface  
o Very Small 28-Pin Thin QFN Package  
Ordering Information  
The MAX2120 includes fully monolithic VCOs, as well as  
a complete frequency synthesizer. Additionally, an on-  
chip crystal oscillator is provided along with a buffered  
output for driving additional tuners and demodulators.  
Synthesizer programming and device configuration are  
accomplished with a 2-wire serial interface. The IC fea-  
tures a VCO autoselect (VAS) function that automatically  
selects the proper VCO. For multituner applications, the  
device can be configured to have one of two 2-wire  
interface addresses. A low-power standby mode is  
available whereupon the signal path is shut down while  
leaving the reference oscillator, digital interface, and  
buffer circuits active, providing a method to reduce  
power in single and multituner applications.

The MAX2120 is the most advanced DBS tuner available  
today. The low noise figure eliminates the need for an  
external LNA. A small number of passive components are  
needed to form a complete DVB, DBS, or VSAT RF front-  
end solution. The tuner is available in a very small 28-pin  
thin QFN package.

-26dBm each are applied at 2174MHz and 2175MHz. The IM3 tone at 3MHz is measured at baseband, but is referred to the  
RF input.  
Note 4: Out-of-band IIP3 test conditions: GC1 set to provide nominal baseband output drive when mixing down a -23dBm tone at  
2175MHz to 5MHz baseband (f = 2170MHz). Baseband gain is set to its default value (BBG[3:0] = 1011). Two tones at  
LO  
-20dBm each are applied at 2070MHz and 1975MHz. The IM3 tone at 5MHz is measured at baseband, but is referred to the  
RF input.  
Note 5: Input IP2 test conditions: GC1 set to provide nominal baseband output drive when mixing down a -23dBm tone at 2175MHz  
to 5MHz baseband (f = 2170MHz). Baseband gain is set to its default value (BBG[3:0] = 1011). Two tones at -20dBm  
LO  
each are applied at 925MHz and 1250MHz. The IM2 tone at 5MHz is measured at baseband, but is referred to the RF input.  
Note 6: Adjacent channel protection test conditions: GC1 is set to provide the nominal baseband output drive with a 2110MHz  
27.5Mbaud signal at -55dBm. GC2 set for mid-scale. The test signal will be set for PR = 7/8 and SNR of -8.5dB. An adjacent  
channel at 40MHz is added at -25dBm. DVB-S BER performance of 2E-4 will be maintained for the desired signal. GC2  
may be adjusted for best performance.  
Note 7: Guaranteed by design and characterization at T = +25°C.

MAX120  
Slave Address  
The MAX2120 has a 7-bit slave address that must be  
sent to the device following a START condition to initi-  
ate communication. The slave address is internally pro-  
grammed to 1100000. The eighth bit (R/W) following  
the 7-bit address determines whether a read or write  
operation will occur.  
2-Wire Serial Interface  
2
The MAX2120 uses a 2-wire I C-compatible serial  
interface consisting of a serial data line (SDA) and a  
serial clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate bidirec-  
tional communication between the MAX2120 and the  
master at clock frequencies up to 400kHz. The master  
initiates a data transfer on the bus and generates the  
SCL signal to permit data transfer. The MAX2120  
behaves as a slave device that transfers and receives  
data to and from the master. SDA and SCL must be  
pulled high with external pullup resistors (1kor  
greater) for proper bus operation.  
The MAX2120 continuously awaits a START condition  
followed by its slave address. When the device recog-  
nizes its slave address, it acknowledges by pulling the  
SDA line low for one clock period; it is ready to accept  
or send data depending on the R/W bit (Figure 1).  
One bit is transferred during each SCL clock cycle. A  
minimum of nine clock cycles is required to transfer a  
byte in or out of the MAX2120 (8 bits and an  
ACK/NACK). The data on SDA must remain stable  
during the high period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes  
in SDA while SCL is high and stable are considered  
control signals (see the START and STOP Conditions  
section). Both SDA and SCL remain high when the bus  
is not busy. Pullup resistors should be referenced to the  
The write/read address is C0/C1 if the ADDR pin is con-  
nected to ground. The write/read address is C2/C3 if  
the ADDR pin is connected to V

START and STOP Conditions  
The master initiates a transmission with a START condi-  
tion (S), which is a high-to-low transition on SDA while  
SCL is high. The master terminates a transmission with  
a STOP condition (P), which is a low-to-high transition  
on SDA while SCL is high.  
Figure 1. MAX2120 Slave Address Byte with ADDR Pin  
Connected to Ground  
Write Cycle  
Acknowledge and Not-Acknowledge Conditions  
Data transfers are framed with an acknowledge bit  
(ACK) or a not-acknowledge bit (NACK). Both the mas-  
ter and the MAX2120 (slave) generate acknowledge  
bits. To generate an acknowledge, the receiving device  
must pull SDA low before the rising edge of the  
acknowledge-related clock pulse (ninth pulse) and  
keep it low during the high period of the clock pulse.  
When addressed with a write command, the MAX2120  
allows the master to write to a single register or to multi-  
ple successive registers.  
A write cycle begins with the bus master issuing a  
START condition followed by the seven slave address  
bits and a write bit (R/W = 0). The MAX2120 issues an  
ACK if the slave address byte is successfully received.  
The bus master must then send to the slave the  
address of the first register it wishes to write to (see  
Table 1 for register addresses). If the slave acknowl-  
edges the address, the master can then write one byte  
to the register at the specified address. Data is written  
beginning with the most significant bit. The MAX2120  
again issues an ACK if the data is successfully written  
to the register. The master can continue to write data to  
the successive internal registers with the MAX2120  
acknowledging each successful transfer, or it can ter-  
minate transmission by issuing a STOP condition. The  
write cycle will not terminate until the master issues a  
STOP condition.  
To generate a not-acknowledge condition, the receiver  
allows SDA to be pulled high before the rising edge of  
the acknowledge-related clock pulse, and leaves SDA  
high during the high period of the clock pulse.  
Monitoring the acknowledge bits allows for detection of  
unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data  
transfer happens if a receiving device is busy or if a  
system fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuc-  
cessful data transfer, the bus master must reattempt  
communication at a later time.

wishes to read (see Table 1 for register addresses). The  
slave acknowledges the address. Then, a START condi-  
tion is issued by the master, followed by the 7 slave  
address bits and a read bit (R/W = 1). The MAX2120  
issues an ACK if the slave address byte is successfully  
received. The MAX2120 starts sending data MSB first  
with each SCL clock cycle. At the 9th clock cycle, the  
master can issue an ACK and continue to read succes-  
sive registers, or the master can terminate the transmis-  
sion by issuing a NACK. The read cycle does not  
terminate until the master issues a STOP condition.  
Read Cycle  
When addressed with a read command, the MAX2120  
allows the master to read back a single register, or mul-  
tiple successive registers.  
A read cycle begins with the bus master issuing a  
START condition followed by the 7 slave address bits  
and a write bit (R/W = 0). The MAX2120 issues an ACK if  
the slave address byte is successfully received. The bus  
master must then send the address of the first register it

capacitor. To minimize parasitics, place the crystal and  
series capacitor as close as possible to pin 14 (XTAL  
RF Input  
pin). See Table 14 for crystal (XTAL) ESR (equivalent  
series resistance) requirements. The typical input  
capacitance is 40pF.  
The RF input of the MAX2120 is internally matched to  
75. Only a DC-blocking capacitor is needed. See the  
Typical Operating Circuit.  
VCO Autoselect (VAS)  
The MAX2120 includes 24 VCOs. The local oscillator fre-  
quency can be manually selected by programming the  
VCO[4:0] bits in the VCO register. The selected VCO is  
reported in the Status Byte-2 register (see Table 13).  
RF Gain Control  
The MAX2120 features a variable-gain low-noise amplifi-  
er providing 73dB of RF gain range. The voltage-control  
(VGC) range is 0.5V (minimum attenuation) to 2.7V  
(maximum attenuation).  
Alternatively, the MAX2120 can be set to autonomously  
choose a VCO by setting the VAS bit in the VCO regis-  
ter to logic-high. The VAS routine is initiated once the  
N-divider LSB register word (REG 2) is loaded.  
Baseband Variable-Gain Amplifier  
The receiver baseband variable-gain amplifiers provide  
15dB of gain-control range programmable in 1dB  
steps. The VGA gain can be serially programmed  
through the SPI™ interface by setting bits BBG[3:0] in  
the Control register.  
In the event that only the R-divider register or N-  
divider MSB register word is changed, the N-divider  
LSB word must also be loaded last to initiate the  
VCO autoselect function. The VCO value pro-  
grammed in the VCO[4:0] register serves as the start-  
ing point for the automatic VCO selection process.  
Baseband Lowpass Filter  
The MAX2120 includes a programmable on-chip 7th-  
order Butterworth filter. The -3dB corner frequency of  
the baseband filter is programmable by setting the bits  
LPF[7:0] in the Lowpass register. The value of the  
LPF[7:0] is determined by the following equation:  
During the selection process, the VASE bit in the Status  
Byte-1 register is cleared to indicate the autoselection  
function is active. Upon successful completion, bits  
VASE and VASA are set and the VCO selected is  
reported in the Status Byte-2 register (see Table 13). If  
the search is unsuccessful, VASA is cleared and VASE  
is set. This indicates that searching has ended but no  
good VCO has been found, and occurs when trying to  
tune to a frequency outside the VCO’s specified  
frequency range.

-3dB  
The filter can be adjusted from approximately 4MHz to  
40MHz. Total device supply current depends on the fil-  
ter BW setting, with increasing current commensurate  
with increasing -3dB BW.  
Refer to the MAX2112/MAX2120 VAS application note  
for more information.  
DC Offset Cancellation  
The DC offset cancellation is required to maintain the I/Q  
output dynamic range. Connecting an external capacitor  
between IDC+ and IDC- forms a highpass filter for the I  
channel, and an external capacitor between QDC+ and  
QDC- forms a highpass filter for the Q channel. Keep the  
value of the external capacitor less than 47nF to form a  
typical highpass corner of 400Hz.

3-Bit ADC  
The MAX2120 has an internal 3-bit ADC connected to  
the VCO tune pin (VTUNE). This ADC can be used for  
checking the lock status of the VCOs.  
Standby Mode  
The MAX2120 features normal operating mode and  
2
standby mode using the I C interface. Setting a logic-  
high to the PWDN bit in the Control register enables  
power-down. In this mode, all circuitries except for the 2-  
wire-compatible bus are disabled, allowing for program-  
ming of the MAX2120 registers while in power-down.  
Table 15 summarizes the ADC trip points, and the VCO  
lock indication. The VCO autoselect routine will only  
select a VCO in the “VAS locked” range. This allows  
room for a VCO to drift over temperature and remain in  
a valid “locked” range.  
In all cases, register settings loaded prior to entering  
shutdown are saved upon transition back to active  
mode. Default register values are provided for the  
user’s convenience only. It’s the user’s responsibility to  
load all the registers no sooner than 100µs after the  
device is powered up.  
MAX120  
The ADC must first be enabled by setting the ADE bit in  
the VCO register. The ADC reading is latched by a sub-  
sequent programming of the ADC latch bit (ADL = 1).  
The ADC value is reported in the Status Byte-2 register  
(see Table 13).  
Layout Considerations  
The MAX2120 EV kit serves as a guide for PCB  
layout. Keep RF signal lines as short as possible to mini-  
mize losses and radiation. Use controlled impedance on  
all high-frequency traces. For proper operation, the  
exposed paddle must be soldered evenly to the board’s  
ground plane. Use abundant vias beneath the exposed  
paddle for maximum heat dissipation. Use abundant  
ground vias between RF traces to minimize undesired
