(Top News, 24 Jan 2008)

NXP Semiconductors has launched what is claimed to be the world's first multi-band silicon tuner, the TDA18292, which will make available a truly anytime, anywhere digital TV viewing experience . The TDA18292 is the first to support the five global TV standards for portable devices—DVB-T, DVB-H, DVB-SH, T-DMB, ISDB-T—and five prominent frequency bands—VHF, UHF, L1, L2, S-band.

The ultra-low power, low noise, small footprint and high immunity to other cellular and connectivity standards, makes the TDA18292 an ideal TV solution for notebooks, USB sticks, Portable Multimedia Players (PMP), portable DVD players, mobile phones, portable navigation systems (GPS) and other handheld devices—at a very low cost of less than $2, for high volume quantities.
