Broadcast Audio Product Family

B r o a d c a s t A u d i o S o l u t i o n s

RDS and RBDS Support

The Si47xx family includes a series of solutions that incorporates a digital processor for the European
Radio Data System (RDS) and the US Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS) including all required
symbol decoding, block synchronization, error detection, and correction functions. Using this feature,
these products enable data such as station identification, artist name, and song title to be transmitted
to and displayed on any RDS/RBDS receiver. The Si4749/06 incorporate a high-performance
RDS/RBDS decoder based on patented methodologies, and deliver excellent RDS/RBDS sensitivity
performance, synchronization to RDS/RBDS at high BLER levels and RDS/RBDS data decoding with
superior decoder reliability, making them ideal for performance-intensive Traffic Message Channel
(TMC) applications in navigation devices.

Single PCB for All Broadcast Audio Designs

Footprint Compatible

The Si47xx family requires only two external components and offers

many footprint compatible multi-band receivers.

Highest Level of Integration

The Si47xx products are the first fully integrated
broadcast audio ICs. These solutions require
only two external components and 15 mm

2

or

less of board space in contrast to dozens of
external components and as much as five times
the amount of board space for competing
products. The high level of integration, small
footprint and low power consumption enable
the integration of multi-band receivers, FM
receivers, FM transmitters, FM transceivers,
or data receivers into any consumer device
such as mobile phones, MP3 accessories,
media players, and navigation devices.

Best-in-Class Performance

The Si47xx family’s excellent selectivity
and sensitivity improve user experience
and result in reduced interference and
increased reception. Its advanced digital
audio processing delivers optimum sound
quality superior to other solutions even in the
presence of variable signal conditions, and
its digital architecture enables performance
that is unmatched compared to standard
analog solutions. With advanced AM and FM
seek algorithms and software programmable
audio flexibility, the Si47xx family provides an
unmatched level of performance.

Easiest to Design and Manufacture

The Si47xx family is delivered as a fully tested
system requiring no factory alignment. Its
simple hardware design reduces development
time, unlike other solutions that require
dozens of components limiting production
flow and adding performance variability
across products. Evaluation and design is
easy with a full reference board including
schematics and layout files and a robust
development graphical user interface (GUI).
These solutions also accept a wide range
of antenna inputs from headphone cables
to ultra-small ferrites and integrated tuned
loops.
