A RECEIVER COMPRISING TWO TUNERS

摘要

A receiver comprises two tuners and a DC-to-DC converter (DCC) for generating an increased supply voltage (VH) on the basis of a main supply voltage. Each tuner comprises a tunable circuit (TUCl), which can be tuned by means of a tuning voltage (VTl). Each tuner further comprises a tuning control circuit (TCCl) that is coupled to the DC-to-DC converter (DCC) via a load circuit (LDl) for generating the tuning voltage (VTl). The load circuit (LDl) of at least one of the two tuners comprises a branch (Dl) coupled to receive the main supply voltage (VCC). The branch (Dl) is conductive when the tuning voltage (VTl) is within a voltage range substantially comprised between 0 and the main supply voltage (VCC).
