Skyworks Si4694 Digital Radio Coprocessor Block Diagram

December 9, 2021 - Skyworks is pleased to introduce the Si4694 digital radio coprocessor for DRM for AM radio reception in automotive infotainment systems and car radios. Designed to work with Skyworks' Si479xx family of automotive radio tuners, the Si4694 provides a new level of performance and power efficiency with the lowest system BOM. The Si4694 is part of the Falcon family of automotive digital radio coprocessors.

Key Features

DRM30 coprocessor
FAC and SDC decoder
Multiplex info
Packet mode
MOT, TPEG packet outputs
No external RAM required for channel decoding or seamless blending
Flash memory interface for application program load
Interfaces with Si479xx tuners and supports Zero-IF DRM30 I/Q at 192 kS/s
Receives AM/FM audio over I2S to generate audio output
Integrated crystal oscillator
Reference clock input
SPI or I2C control interface

The Si4694 provides demodulation and source decoding of DRM for AM signal delivering audio and data. It supports all operating modes of the DRM for AM digital radio standard (Modes A to D). The Si4694 is a highly integrated device that requires only a few external components. The Si4694 generates its internal clocking from an external crystal using an integrated oscillator or an external reference clock and supports a selectable host-control interface (SPI or I2C). Combined with Skyworks' Si479xx tuners, the Si4694 provides a complete and cost-effective DRM for AM solution.

Si4694 Specifications

Pin/package and API compatibility with Si4692/93 digital radio coprocessors
Interfaces with single and dual pin/package compatible tuners
Small footprint and lowest system BOM
Advanced radio and audio signal processing
Offers full range of data services
