Abstract
Tuners, multi-tuner receivers and methods of configuring multiple tuners are provided. A tuner on an integrated circuit includes an RF amplifier configured to be coupled to an antenna to amplify an RF signal received from the antenna, a bidirectional port configured to be coupled to another tuner and a bidirectional port circuit coupled between the RF amplifier and the bidirectional port. The bidirectional port circuit includes signal routing circuitry and a programmable control that is configured to control the signal routing circuitry to implement one of an input port, an output port or a disabled port.
