Preliminary Information SL1914
SL1914
Satellite Tuner Front End LNA with AGC
Preliminary Information
Description
The SL1914 is a wideband LNA with AGC designed
primarily for application in satellite tuner front ends,
offering high signal handling capability with low noise
figure compatible with most common tuner input
requirements.
The SL1914 is optimised to complement the SL1925, ZIF
quadrature downconverter, integrating all the active RF
circuitry within the tuner, in a highly compact, efficient
solution, and offering a full 1-45 MS/s tuner capability.
.
Features
● Single chip solution for satellite tuner LNA and
AGC
● Provides for 30 dB minimum AGC
● Low DSB NF at maximum gain
● High signal handling at minimum gain
● Provides differential output drive
● ESD protection (Normal ESD handling
procedures should be observed)
Applications
● Satellite receiver systems
● Data communications systems
● Master Antennae Distribution Systems

Functional Description
The SL1914 is a bipolar, low noise AGC amplifier
designed primarily for application in satellite tuner front
ends. It contains a low noise input amplifier, an AGC
stage with a minimum of 30dB of gain control and a 75
Ohm output drive. It replaces all active circuitry in
conventional architectures.
.
The typical key performance numbers under nominal
load ambient and supply conditions are contained in
table headed Quick Reference Data.
