Description
SI2166-D60-GMR is Silicon Labs’ RF front-end/tuner IC intended for digital TV receivers. It provides broadband RF input with an integrated front-end (LNA, mixer) and a programmable intermediate-frequency/synthesizer, controlled over I2C, and designed to work with a separate digital demodulator/SoC. The “D60” denotes the 60‑pin (QFN) package, and “GMR” is the package/variant code. It covers the RF bands used for terrestrial and cable TV and is configured to support common standards (e.g., DVB-T/T2/C) via register settings and external RF components per the reference design. Typical applications include set-top boxes, DVB receivers, USB tuners, and other multiband RF front-ends where integration reduces BOM and board size. For exact pinout, electrical specs, register map, and design guidelines, consult the SI2166-D60-GMR datasheet and Silicon Labs reference designs.
