New BSFC-Series tuners use SHARP’s latest technology to provide reception of either modulated analog or digital data streams. Four different tuner models with varying performance characteristics can be used as receivers for analog or digital video, and for data streams. Each tuner’s local oscillator is phase-lock loop-tuned using a 3-wire serial bus. The conversion intermediate frequency is filtered and provided on a pin at 479.5 MHz. In addition, IF ACG control is provided.
