Abstract: An integrated circuit chip includes a first single-ended-to-differential amplifier configured to generate a differential output associated with an input of said first single-ended-to-differential amplifier; a second single-ended-to-differential amplifier arranged in parallel with said first single-ended-to-differential amplifier; a first set of switch circuits arranged downstream of said first single-ended-to-differential amplifier; a second set of switch circuits arranged downstream of said second single-ended-to-differential amplifier; and a first differential-to-single-ended amplifier arranged downstream of a first one of said switch circuits in said first set and downstream of a first one of said switch circuits in said second set.

Abstract: A universal tuning module may include an oscillator, a first tuner configured to process a first television signal, a second tuner configured to process a second television signal, a first switch configured to pass its input containing information associated with an output of the oscillator to said first tuner, and a second switch configured to pass its input containing information associated with the output of the oscillator to the second tuner.
