Description
The CXA3068N is a monolithic IC to down-convert the L-band (930 to 2150 MHz) signal for the satellite broadcasting receiver. It has a double-balanced mixer, local oscillator circuit and IF amplifier on chip.

Features
• Balance-type Colpitts oscillator circuit provides a stable and wide range oscillation. Oscillation frequency : 2.63 GHz
• Small leak of the local oscillation signal due to the double-balanced mixer.
• Oscillation frequency drift is small, caused by the change of impedance at the pre-stage of RF input.
• Local oscillator output circuit for PLL.
• Single 5 V power supply operation.
• Low current consumption. ICC=53 mA (typ.)
• 16-pin SSOP package contributes to reduction in set size.

Applications
• Satellite broadcasting tuners for BS, CS, DSS and DVB. (Frequency conversion to the second IF)
