Receiver module unites global digital radios
Unified digital radio receiver module will work with all existing Band 3 and L-Band digital radio standards for Europe and Asia.
Martin Jackson, Chief Technical Officer of Frontier Silicon commented: "Chorus is the lowest power DAB baseband solution available today, with a power consumption 30% less that other solutions currently on the market, making it ideally suited to the implementation of DMB devices.
The portable video devices envisioned by the originators of the DMB specification will offer excellent battery life through their adoption of this processor, which is the most prolific DAB solution in the market today".
Being able to support decode of DAB at the full data rate specified in the Eureka 147 DAB specification enables Chorus to perform the physical layer function in a DMB receiver, enabling the application processor in a device such as a mobile phone to concentrate on outputting the services offered by DMB.
Chorus also offers a number of multimedia capabilities such as MPEG4 decode and a large number of integrated peripherals to further increase its utility in a DMB product.
Chorus is available in mass production today, and is installed in over 600,000 DAB digital radios.
