A low-cost and low-power single-chip DAB+/DAB/FM receiver

Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of a low-cost and low-power receiver IC that houses triple-band Radio Frequency (RF) receivers, baseband demodulators, audio decoders, audio DACs, and memories in a compact 11 mm x 8 mm BGA 88-pin package. At 150-mW power consumption of DAB+ systems operation which includes from RF inputs to audio DAC outputs, this singlechip IC achieves the highest-integration and lowest powerconsumption to our best knowledge.
