Abstract: The disclosure provided a tuner circuit having a zero power loop through (ZPLT) circuit that is capable of providing a loop through path even when no power is being supplied or without a standalone power supply. The tuner circuit includes an input terminal, an output terminal, a ZPLT circuit, and an internal resistor. The input terminal receives a radio frequency (RF) signal. The output terminal is connected to a subsequent tuner. The ZPLT is connected between the input terminal and the output terminal. The internal and an external resistor connected between the turner circuit and subsequent tuner form a voltage divider to divide a bias found at the output terminal to enable the ZPLT circuit for providing a loop through path to deliver the RF signal to the output terminal when the tuner circuit is not powered by a standalone power or a low noise amplifier is enabled.
