“As the worldwide transition from analog to digital grows, Entropic continues to lead the charge by addressing the demanding performance specifications required for today’s TV’s and STB’s,” said Vinay Gokhale, senior vice president of marketing and business development at Entropic. “As a result of our partnership with Jazz, Entropic has brought to market our most advanced silicon tuner to date, offering tuner manufacturers a hybrid, low cost, flexible solution.”

About the EN4020
Entropic’s innovative design on the EN4020 allows simple software configurability for different market applications and operating environments. In addition, the EN4020 has proven performance advantages in the emerging digital cable (DVB-C) networks where excessive interference from legacy analog signal and terrestrial signal leakage into the cable can cause performance limitations, degrading picture quality for the end user. The high level of integration on the EN4020 contains all front-end functions and requires no external SAW filters or amplifiers.

In addition, the EN4020 is also ideal for can tuner manufacturers enabling a more streamlined and lower-cost development, test and assembly process.
