    Abstract: In one embodiment, a tuning network includes: a controllable capacitance; a first switch coupled between the controllable capacitance and a reference voltage node; a second switch coupled between the controllable capacitance and a third switch; the third switch coupled between the second switch and a second voltage node; a fourth switch coupled between the second voltage node and a first inductor; the first inductor having a first terminal coupled to the fourth switch and a second terminal coupled to at least the second switch; and a second inductor having a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the first inductor and a second terminal coupled to the controllable capacitance.

    Abstract: In one example, a semiconductor die includes multi-standard, multi-channel expandable television/satellite receiver that can be flexibly implemented in a number of different configurations to enable incorporation into a plurality of different systems. The semiconductor die may include multiple tuners to receive and tune a terrestrial radio frequency (RF) signal and a satellite RF signal. These tuners may include different frequency synthesizers including voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) to generate VCO signals at different frequencies, mixers to downconvert the RF signals to baseband signals using the VCO signals. In an implementation, the semiconductor die may further include shared circuitry coupled to the tuners to digitize, process and demodulate the baseband signals.

    Abstract: A voltage reference circuit can operate in a large supply voltage range, including a low supply voltage, and can operate with high PSRR. The voltage reference circuit supplies a voltage reference with a near zero temperature coefficient (TC) across a wide-temperature range. The voltage reference circuit develops a first current with a positive temperature coefficient from a first transistor and a second current with a negative temperature coefficient from a second transistor. The control terminals of the two transistors are supplied by respective outputs of two error amplifiers. The two currents are combined to develop a voltage reference across a resistor. The voltage reference has a near zero temperature coefficient.
