RF Tuner Reduces VoIP Modem Battery Count

Operating from a 3V supply and consuming less than 800 mW, the ISG5000L series RF tuner module is said to use approximately one third the power of other currently available tuners. The IC-based tuner module is designed for use in VoIP modems and can reduce the number of batteries required to deliver life-line operation by half. It meets DOCSIS/ Packet Cable RF specifications and can interface directly with a range of modem ICs without additional circuitry. Also claiming the industry’s highest level of integration, the module includes all necessary active and passive RF functions in a package measuring 3" x 1.5" x 0.5".
