The BCM3418 is a next-generation silicon tuner solution that allows manufacturers to cost-effectively implement single and multiple tuner designs in cable modems, cable set-top boxes, residential gateways, cable-ready televisions and personal video recording (PVR) devices.

The BCM3418 operates in conjunction with the BCM3405, the first single-chip multi-channel low noise amplifier (LNA) supporting up to five RF signals. These two devices together support analog NTSC/PAL and digital QAM signals and significantly reduce the design complexity and cost of multi-tuner applications by eliminating major components required to distribute signals inside these products.
