Si4712/13
FM Radio Transmitter with Receive Power Scan
Description
The Si4712/13 is the industry's first 100% CMOS FM
radio transmitter with an integrated receiver to
measure receive signal strength. 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 Si4712/13 offers
industry leading size, performance, low power
consumption, and ease of use.
The Si4712/13’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
Si4712/13.
The Si4713 supports the European Radio Data
System (RDS) and the US Radio Broadcast Data
System (RBDS) standards including all the symbol
encoding, block synchronization, and error correction
functions. Using this feature, the Si4713 enables
data such as artist name and song title to be
transmitted to an RDS/RBDS receiver.
Users are responsible for adjusting their system’s
radiated power levels to comply with local regulations
on RF transmission (FCC, ETSI, ARIB, etc.).
