Product Summary

The SI4700-A15 is the industry first FM radio tuner IC to leverage digital integration and 100% CMOS process technology, resulting in a completely integrated solution that requires only one external supply bypass capacitor and less than 20 mm2 of board space. Offering unmatched integration, the SI4700-A15 allows FM radio reception to be added to a variety of portable devices where board space, performance, low power consumption, and ease of use are essential.
