KeyStone Semiconductor Corp. (KeyStone), a fabless semiconductor
developer of advanced digital radio technology announces today that it
enters mass production of its third-generation series of single-chip
FM/DAB/DAB+ receiver ICs. The new digital radio chips employ advanced
semiconductor process not only to reduce the chip manufacturing cost but
also to cut power consumption. The new generation FM/DAB/DAB+
single-chip achieves DAB/DAB+ sensitivity better than -102 dBm with a
super low-power consumption at 120 mW, which saves more than twice of
the power consumption than its competitors. New on-chip RF tuners
further improve adjacent-channel rejection exceeding DRUK's automotive
ACS requirements.
KSW8088CS is an improved new design that supports both analogue FM
and digital audio broadcasting (DAB) reception. Like its prior two
generations, KSW8088CS also fully integrates triple-band RF tuner,
demodulators, audio decoders, micro controller, flash memory, etc. onto a
single-chip leaving no expensive components on the modules. Thanks to
the employment of advanced semiconductor process and novel RF tuner
design, KSW8088CS is able to reduce its manufacturing cost to meet
low-entry-price digital radio market demands. At USD 4.0 per chip,
factories will be able to produce digital radios priced under £19.9 to
facilitate the population of DAB in the UK market.
KeyStone is WorldDMB and Bluetooth SIG members. Its FM/DAB/DAB+
modules are certified by Apple MFi programs. Products employing KeyStone
DAB/DAB+ modules and Bluetooth Radio Wizard (BRW) technology are
available at Apple Store. Samples and demo units are available for
ordering. For more information on KeyStone’s digital radio single-chip
modules and BRW technology, please contact KeyStone at
