Zarlink produced several tuner PLLs (e.g. [[Zarlink ZL10036|ZL10036]], [[Zarlink ZL10038|ZL10038]], [[Zarlink ZL10039|ZL10039]]) and [[Demodulator|demodulators]] (e.g. [[Zarlink MT312|MT312]], [[Zarlink MT352|MT352]], [[Zarlink ZL10312|ZL10312]], [[Zarlink ZL10313|ZL10313]], [[Zarlink ZL10353|ZL10353]]), as well as some chips formerly sold under the [[Mitel]] banner, that are commonly found in DVB PC hardware.

History

In 2001, Mitel sold both its PBX business division and corporate name. The remaining part of the original company was then renamed Zarlink Semiconductor.

In October 2005, Zarlink sold its RF Front-End technology (TV tuner and demodulator) business line to Intel. Intel has incorporated the Zarlink products into its Demodulator and Tuner Division (DTD), and they are now marketed under new part numbers. See Intel.

Products

Support

The specifications for Zarlink ICs were usually freely available. Consequently, these chips are typically well supported under Linux.
