Atmel's Highly Flexible Multi-standard Broadcast Radio Front End IC Provides Excellent Reception Performance

Heilbronn, Germany (ots/PRNewswire)

Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) announced today the
availability of  the highly integrated broadcast radio front end IC
ATR4262, which enables  outstanding car-radio reception. The new IC
is designed for high performance  applications, in particular for
mobile systems such as car radios. The  ATR4262 is compatible with
the major radio standards including HD Radio, DRM,  and AM/FM.
The ATR4262 is a world tuner device covering all AM/FM frequencies
worldwide. Its FM section handles the frequency range from 70 MHz to
166 MHz, including weather band and HD Radio in the US. The AM path
covers the entire broadcasting frequency range from 150 kHz up to 30
MHz, including modern DRM systems.
While providing maximum flexibility and high performance, the
ATR4262's optimized BOM reduces costs. The weather band
functionality, for example, can be realized without additional
components. Furthermore, no external crystals are needed as the
ATR4262 features flexible clock generation enabling the use of any
external clock signal.
The ATR4262's flexible AGC system enables matching to all
reception conditions. The IF amplifier has 3 different inputs, which
can be tailored to different filters. This allows the support of
multiple radio standards such as AM/FM; HD Radio, or DRM. In
addition, the ATR4262 provides several control possibilities, thus
allowing connection to various baseband processors.
Availability and Pricing
Samples of the ATR4262 are now available in very small QFN
packages for small and miniature tuner solutions. Pricing starts at
US $2.00 for 100k piece quantities. Sample design demo boards are
also available.
