Frontier Silicon launches miniaturised DAB+ module
Frontier (AIM: FST), a pioneer in technologies for Digital Radio
and Smart Audio devices, announces the launch of Siena, its
smallest ever module for DAB+ radios.
The Siena module ('Siena') measures 21mm x 21mm and is a low
power, cost-optimised solution designed for both entry-level price
point DAB+ radios, and high end consumer audio devices which offer
DAB radio as one of several functions.
Siena is based on Frontier's new Kino 4-Lite silicon, a single
integrated chip, which combines a multi-band RF tuner, digital
baseband, and application processor. Using surface mount
technology, the module can be fixed directly to a DAB radio system
board without the need to include a connector.
In addition to enabling reduced system cost, Siena introduces a
host of state-of-the-art technologies to optimise power
consumption, radio frequency and audio performance. For entry price
point devices, Siena operates as the master processor. For customer
audio systems, the Siena module can be incorporated as a slave
digital radio system driven by a host microcontroller unit.
Siena went into mass production at the end of February 2017 and
was awarded the European Digital Radio Tick in March. For further
details see: http://www.frontier-silicon.com/siena#.WOTvRU11pmM
Anthony Sethill, CEO of Frontier Silicon, said:
"As international demand for DAB radio accelerates and the first
countries start to switch-off FM signals, it is essential that we
provide a solution to serve the fast-growing entry level price
point segment of the market. Siena, with its smaller footprint,
reduced power consumption and lower cost, will address this segment
and help drive growth in Frontier's volumes."
