The MxL581C is a low-power single-chip satellite receiver IC, featuring an L-band Full-Spectrum Capture® (FSC®) tuner and eight demodulators that are compliant with DVB-S, DVB-S2, and DIRECTV legacy standards.

The MxL581C receives signals from the L-band differential RF input from 950 MHz to 2150 MHz, and demodulates eight satellite channels to produce eight independent serial TS outputs. All eight TS outputs support two-wire, three-wire, or four-wire modes.

The MxL581C communicates with satellite LNBs through on-chip DiSEqC and FSK modems.

All major functions are incorporated onto the device, including LNA, channel filters, AGC, adaptive equalizers, PLLs, crystal load capacitors, and demodulators. The MxL581C enables simple, compact board designs with low-power consumption and reduced BOM costs. The MxL581C is controlled via an I2C interface, and operates using 1.8V and 1.1V core supplies and an I/O supply of 3.3V. The MxL581C is available in a small 10 mm x 10 mm footprint 72-pin QFN package.
