Silicon Laboratories Inc. (NASDAQ: SLAB), a leader in
high-performance, analog-intensive mixed-signal ICs, today
announced that it is providing its latest digital multi-band
receiver technology to Tecsun, a leading Chinese manufacturer of
portable radios. Tecsun has chosen Silicon Labs’ Si483x AM/FM
receiver ICs for its new R-2010 multi-band portable radio. Designed
for the worldwide market, the 12-band R-2010 radio is a wheel-tuned
DSP radio, which offers FM stereo, medium-wave (MW) and shortwave
(SW) reception.
Silicon Labs’ Si483x receivers are the industry’s first
wheel-tuned CMOS AM/FM/SW radio DSP ICs offering a full radio
solution from antenna input to audio output in a single chip. Based
on a patented design, the Si483x AM/FM receivers eliminate the need
for external microcontrollers, adjustable capacitors, AM/FM IF
filters and other discrete components, and as a result they reduce
development time, component count and labor costs. The Si483x
family supports a wide range of radio products such as portable
radios, boom boxes, clock and lamp radios, toy radios and give-away
radios.
China produces more than 100 million wheel-tuned radio units per
year for the global market, making it the world’s manufacturing
center for mechanically tuned AM/FM radios. These analog-intensive
radio designs typically require dozens of discrete components and
costly manual adjustment during manufacturing and assembly. It is
also difficult to guarantee the consistency of product performance
due to component quality and complex manufacturing. Prior to the
introduction of the Si483x AM/FM receiver family, manufacturers of
wheel-tuned radios had no viable alternative to the
labor-intensive, discrete method of manufacturing economical
radios. The Si483x family addresses this challenge by making
advanced digital radio technology available to the wheel-tuned or
mechanically-tuned radio market, enabling radio makers to reduce
assembly cost, improve performance and add FM/MW/SW radio
functionality to virtually any consumer electronics products.
“Silicon Labs’ Si483x AM/FM receivers are an ideal solution for
our new R-2010 radio,” said Wei Liang, chairman of Tecsun. “The
Si483x chip’s high integration enables an 80 percent BOM cost
reduction compared to current legacy solutions. Furthermore, its
innovative design requires no manual alignment in the manufacturing
process, greatly reducing labor costs and enhancing performance.
The Si483x also helps Tecsun provide our customers with excellent
digital-radio quality performance such as higher sensitivity,
selectivity and overload resistance than ever before.”
“The Si483x family gives radio makers like Tecsun a competitive
edge in global markets by providing them with a cost-effective
platform for achieving the benefits of digital integration,” said
James Stansberry, general manager of broadcast audio products at
Silicon Labs. “With Si483x IC-based radio designs, developers only
need to add an antenna, tuning and volume wheels, an amplifier and
two AAA batteries to create a fully functional radio within a
compact, single-side board. This small footprint and compact board
design significantly reduce BOM and manufacturing costs and provide
a substantial improvement in radio performance over traditional
solutions.”
