Xceive XC3028/XC2028

This article discusses a family of silicon ICs, produced by Xceive, that combine RF tuner and analog IF demodulator functions within one chip.

XC3028

The XC3028 has robust support for both analog and digital signals; it supports the analog TV broadcast standards (NTSC, PAL, & SECAM), CVBS, SIF and most digital TV standards (ATSC, DVB-C, DVB-T, DMB-T, & ISDB-T).

Note: While the XC3028 is capable of reception of signals using 64-QAM, it is incapable of handling the more complex 256-QAM flavour.

The XC3028 IC is found in a large number of devices.

XC3018

seen here.

The XC3018 is a lesser version of the XC3028; it supports only the analog TV broadcast standards (NTSC, PAL, & SECAM) and just the DVB-T digital TV standard, whereas the XC3028 has more robust support for both analog and digital signals.

List of devices using this chip:

• AVerMedia CardBus Hybrid TV+FM E506R
• AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid+FM Volar
