Device identity and category note
The TDA18212HN/M/C1557 is a silicon tuner from NXP Semiconductors, listed under the Memory (DRAM / SRAM / Flash / EEPROM) category. Despite the category assignment, the part functions as a tuner IC, not a memory device — verify the BOM line context before specifying.
Marked as Active in production status — the manufacturer continues to support this order code for new and existing designs.
Supplied in Bulk packaging — no reel or tray quantity specified; plan for manual or tube-based placement rather than automated reel feed.
