Si4710/11
FM Radio Transmitter for Portable Applications
Description
The Si4710/11 is the industry's first 100% CMOS FM
transmitter single chip IC. The device leverages
Silicon Labs’ highly successful and proven Si4700/01
FM receiver, and offers unmatched integration and
performance allowing FM transmit to be added to any
portable device by using a single chip. As with the
Si4700/01, the Si4710/11 offers industry leading size,
performance, low power consumption, and ease of
use.
The Si4710/11’s digital integration reduces the
required external components of traditional offerings,
resulting in a solution requiring only an external
inductor and bypass capacitor, and PCB space of
approximately 15 mm
2
. High reliability in device
manufacturing, improved quality, easy design-in, and
software programmability are key advantages of the
Si4710/11.
The Si4711 supports the European Radio Data
System (RDS) and the US Radio Broadcast Data
System (RBDS) including all the symbol encoding,
block synchronization, and error correction functions.
Using this feature, the Si4711 enables data such as
artist name and song title to be transmitted to an
RDS/RBDS receiver.
Users are responsible to adjust their system’s
radiated power levels to comply with local regulations
on RF transmission (FCC, ETSI, ARIB, etc.).
