Description
The Si4820/24-A10 is the entry level mechanical-tuned digital CMOS AM/FM/SW
radio receiver IC that integrates the complete receiver function from antenna input
to audio output. The Si4820/24-A10 extends Silicon Laboratories multi-band tuner
family, and further increases the ease and attractiveness of design radio reception
to audio devices through small size and board area, minimum component count,
and superior, proven performance. The Si4820/24-A10 is drop-in replaceable to
the existing Si4831/35 tuner, requires a simple application circuit, and removes
any requirements for manually tuning components during the manufacturing
process. It is a very simple product to design, manufacture, and support across
multiple product lines. The receiver has very low power consumption, runs off two
AAA batteries, and delivers the performance benefits of digital tuning to the
analog radio market.
