Silicon Labs (also known as "Core Technology") has launched the industry's most scalable, flexible and cost-effective car radio solution for the global automotive infotainment market. Silicon Labs' new product portfolio for Global Eagle and Dual Eagle AM / FM receivers, digital radio tuners and Digital Falcon copiers helps carmakers and tier-one suppliers meet all market segments, cost, and performance levels And digital radio standards and other needs, but also to meet the stringent automotive quality standards. Based on Silicon Labs' new product, OEM and back-of-market radio designs can be extended from low-cost, single tuner AM / FM radios to high-performance systems with multi-tuner and multi-antenna, enabling car radios to take full advantage of their R & D investment across multiple product lines, and all product lines can use the same generic software API.
According to IHS Markit statistics, this year the global light car market will reach 93.5 million units, the radio system is divided into entry-level, intermediate and advanced market segments. To meet this broad market, radios suppliers develop different radio systems to meet the various cost targets that are available in the same model. If you use existing solutions, it requires a lot of R & D investment to deal with all the models of all market segments. Silicon Labs is the only automotive radios solution provider offering an expandable hardware / software platform that enables car radios to meet multiple markets with the same radio hardware and software design. This excellent 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) family of products set new standards for scalability and car broadcast reception. The Eagle product family extends the tuner and receiver products that Silicon Labs has deployed with world-leading automotive OEMs and tier-one vendors and field performance verification. The Si479xx device utilizes Silicon Labs' patented low-IF digital architecture to deliver superior RF performance and immunity to interference. In addition, the comprehensive firmware algorithm for the Si479xx product family dynamically adjusts the signal reception of mobile vehicles to ensure optimum reception performance in the harshest field conditions.
The audio subsystems in the two Eagle product families provide a complete solution for synchronizing, processing and distributing digital and audio signals for automotive audio machines. To accelerate time-to-market, Silicon Labs offers quad-channel and six-channel audio post-processing reference designs that support equalizer, loudness compensation, tone control, homophonic generation, and audio source mixing. This flexible architecture also integrates customer or third-party algorithms.
The Digital Falcon (Si469x) digital radio coprocessor product family provides channel demodulation and source decoding for HD Radio and DAB / DAB + digital signals that transmit audio and data. The Digital Falcon coprocessor greatly simplifies system design and minimizes bill of materials (BOM) by eliminating the off-chip RAM memory modules required to decode the usual third-party digital radio processor channels. The Digital Falcon product family is designed to extend from low-end to high-end systems with the seamless mixing capabilities of DAB / DAB + and ALTA support for HD systems.
"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 percent and over 60 percent of the board area, we," said Brian Mirkin, general manager of silicon Labs' broadcast products. Redefining the design of AM / FM receivers in consumer electronics products so far, Silicon Labs has shipped more than 1.5 billion single-chip radio ICs, including more than 50 million OEM car tuners. The latest Global Eagle , The Dual Eagle and Digital Falcon product families bring the industry's most advanced and scalable automotive radios system solution. "
