Flexible combination of car radio receivers, tuners and coprocessors for all market segments
And digital radio standards
China, Beijing - August 10, 2017 - Silicon Labs (also known as "core technology", NASDAQ: SLAB) has introduced the industry's most scalable, flexible and cost-effective car radio solution for the global automotive infotainment market . Silicon Labs' new Global Eagle and Dual Eagle AM/FM receivers, digital radio tuner and Digital Falcon coprocessor portfolio help automakers and Tier 1 suppliers meet all market segments, costs and performance levels And digital radio standards and other requirements, but also meet strict automotive quality standards. Based on Silicon Labs' new products, OEM and aftermarket radio designs can be extended from low-cost, single-tuner AM/FM radios to high-performance systems with multiple tuners and multiple antennas, enabling car radio suppliers to take full advantage of them R&D investment spans multiple product lines, and all product lines can use the same common software API.
According to IHS Markit, the global light vehicle market will reach 93.5 million units this year, and its radio system is divided into entry-level, mid-level and advanced segments. To meet this wide range of markets, radio suppliers have developed different radio systems to meet the various cost targets found in the same model. If an existing solution is adopted, it requires a large amount of research and development investment to cope with all market segments of many models. Silicon Labs is the only car radio solution provider to offer a scalable hardware/software platform that enables car radio suppliers to meet multiple markets with the same radio hardware and software design. This exceptional flexibility helps customers reduce design, certification, procurement and inventory costs.
Analog AM/FM Receivers and Digital Radio Tuners The Global Eagle (Si4795x) and Dual Eagle (Si4796x and Si4797x) product families set new standards for scalability and car broadcast reception. The Eagle product family expands on-site performance-proven tuner and receiver products that Silicon Labs has deployed by leading automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. The Si479xx device utilizes Silicon Labs' patented low-IF digital architecture to deliver superior RF performance and immunity to interference. In addition, the integrated firmware algorithm of the Si479xx family of products dynamically adjusts the signal reception of mobile vehicles to ensure optimal reception performance under the toughest field conditions.
The audio subsystems in the two Eagle product families provide a complete solution for synchronizing, processing and distributing digital and audio signals to car audio complete units. To speed time-to-market, Silicon Labs offers four- and six-channel audio post-processing reference designs that support equalizer, loudness compensation, tone control, harmonic generation, and audio source mixing. This flexible architecture also integrates with customers or third-party algorithms.
The Digital Falcon (Si469x) digital radio coprocessor family provides channel demodulation and source decoding for HD Radio and DAB/DAB+ digital signals that carry audio and data. The Digital Falcon coprocessor greatly simplifies system design and minimizes bill of materials (BOM) by eliminating the off-chip RAM memory blocks required for channel decoding in typical third-party digital radio processors. The Digital Falcon product family leverages seamless blending capabilities for DAB/DAB+ and ALTA support for HD systems, enabling designs to scale from low-end to high-end systems.
Brian Mirkin, general manager of Silicon Labs' broadcast products, said: "When Silicon Labs introduced its first single-chip RF-in-CMOS audio IC 12 years ago, by reducing the number of components by more than 90% and the board area by more than 60%, we Redefining the design of AM/FM receivers in consumer electronics. To date, Silicon Labs has shipped more than 1.5 billion single-chip radio ICs, including more than 50 million OEM car tuners. The Global Eagle, Dual Eagle and Digital Falcon product families bring the industry's most advanced and scalable car radio system solutions."
Price and availabilitySamples of the Global Eagle and Dual Eagle receivers and tuners and the Digital Falcon coprocessor have been produced in volume.
