The MT1503EDC is a tuner module for reception in VHF Band III and L-Band compliant to the DAB EUREKA 147 standard. It performs a down-conversion to an intermediate frequency followed by further signal processing based on an integrated baseband processor. A serial bus interface serves as a digital audio output.

FEATURES
• Double down-conversion for L-Band, Single down-conversion for VHF Band III reception
• 50 Ω antenna input matching
• External RF AGC (pin diode)
• Gain controlled LNAs for both bands
• Selectable RF AGC threshold level
• Tunable preselection filter for better image rejection
• IF SAW filter
• Selectable IF AGC threshold
• Decoding of full DAB audio/data stream according to EUREKA 147 standard
• Decoding of FIC/FIDC and PAD data
• Processing of data services in parallel to audio service
• Supports stream and packet mode
• Error concealment and dropout masking
• Extended data processing capabilities
• Very small form factor
• Shielded metal housing
• USART bus for control functions
• RDI and SPI interfaces for external DMB and data decoders
• USB and SSO interface optional
• Extended parametric temperature range of -40° to +85°C
• 12 V phantom power feeding for an active antenna
• On-board flash memory
• Lead free and RoHS compliant
• Qualified according to automotive requirements

APPLICATIONS
• High-end automotive entertainment systems featuring digital audio (DAB) or video services (DMB, DAB-IP)
• Dynamic navigation systems requiring TMC or TPEG data
