Integrated Digital TV (iDTV )

An Integrated Digital Television (iDTV) set is a TV with a built-in digital tuner that is used for converting incoming signals for display on a TV screen. Most iDTVs also include the ability to receive traditional analog television signals. Silicon Labs is investing in this area to develop a portfolio of highly integrated silicon solutions for the RF front end as well as power management.
