Si4768/9 Block Diagram

The Si4768/69 is a highly-integrated CMOS IC specifically designed for high-performance RDS/RBDS data decoding, AF scanning, MPX output, and FM HD-Radio reception for data services in the companion tuner market for automotive and navigation devices.

The Si4768/69 IC is an ideal companion RDS background data receiver for Traffic Message Channel (TMC) and Open Data Applications (ODA) applications frequently used in conjunction with GPS functionality or as an alternate frequency (AF) scanner in automotive radios. It offers a fully-integrated advanced decoder for the European RDS and the North American RBDS. It includes demodulation, symbol decoding, advanced error correction, detailed visibility to block-error rates (BLER) and decoder reliability, synchronization status and times. The Si4768/69 provides complete, decoded and error-corrected RDS groups (up to 25 groups at a time) with associated BLER.

Key Requirements for Multi-Tuner Automotive Radio Designs

Automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers understand that consumers expect a superior in-vehicle audio experience and are responding by designing sophisticated infotainment systems. The radio components used in today's vehicles need to be cost-effective while meeting rigorous automotive levels of performance. With the advent of multi-tuner automotive infotainment systems, car radio developers must now consider a wide range of performance requirements and new technologies in their designs.

Designing Wheel-Tuned, Digital-Display Radios with Next-Generation Radio ICs

As a growing number of portable applications such as mobile phones and portable media players integrate the FM radio function, there’s a misconception that traditional radios are no longer needed. In reality, wheel-tuned radios have remained immensely popular. This article will discuss how to design a mid-level wheel-tuned radio with an LCD to display frequencies, and it will explore the practical considerations in selecting audio ICs and display drivers, as well as how to leverage these technologies to deliver the best end-user radio tuning experience.
