Frontier Silicon has introduced its unified digital radio receiver module to work with all existing Band 3 and L-Band digital radio standards for Europe and Asia. The receiver addresses the need for a solution that supports all Eureka-147 based standards, including DAB and DAB+ and DMB-Audio. The new module reaches the market in time for manufacturers to realise significant economies of scale, enhanced functionality and rationalised international distribution for audio products. The module is for DMB-Audio, DAB, DAB+ and FM-RDS, and is a drop-in replacement, both electrically and mechanically, for existing products designed using the company's Venice 5 module range, which already provides a basis for the majority of digital radio products. The unified digital radio module will include all interfaces necessary for a fully-functional product, needing only power supply, display, keypad, audio amplifier and speakers to complete a radio. It will start sampling in Q3 2008, and be available for volume production by the end of 2008.
