Portable and Table Top Radio

Portable and table top radios are ubiquitous and include FM-Only, AM/FM, weather band (WB), short wave (SW), and long wave (LW) reception. Silicon Labs radio ICs support any radio transmission, style or feature/performance requirement, including digital or mechanical tuning. These market-leading radio ICs are complemented by a complete suite of high performance, small footprint MCUs and RF wireless receivers.
