Silicon Laboratories' family of Si47xx broadcast audio solutions is the industry's first to leverage digital integration and 100% CMOS, resulting in a completely integrated solution that requires only two external components and less than 15 mm² of board space. Offering unmatched integration, the Si47xx family enables FM transmission and AM, FM, shortwave, longwave and weather band radio reception in any device. Leveraging Silicon Labs' proven digital low intermediate frequency (low-IF) receiver architecture and frequency synthesizer technology, the Si47xx family delivers superior RF performance and interference rejection. Digital signal processing is utilized to provide optimum sound quality under varying reception conditions. The high level of integration and simplified bill of materials (BOM) enable on-board production testing, increased quality, and improved manufacturing. The Si47xx family also uses a streamlined programming model, which further reduces development time. Having shipped millions of devices worldwide, the proven products of the Si47xx family are ready to be integrated into any portable device.
