Amoi Mobile Adopts Silicon Laboratories' FM Broadcast Radio Tuner; Si4700 Offers Superior Performance and Integration.AUSTIN, Texas -- Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq:SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal ICs, today announced that Amoi Mobile Co. Ltd. has adopted the Si4700 FM tuner An electronic part of a radio or TV that locks on to a selected carrier frequency (station, channel) and filters out the audio and video signals for amplification and display. for multiple new handset The part of the telephone that contains the speaker and the microphone. On a desktop phone, the part you hold in your hand is the handset. On a cellphone, the entire phone is the handset. See multihandset cordless and headset. platforms. Offering unmatched integration and performance, Silicon Laboratories' patented Si4700 has allowed Amoi Mobile to quickly implement FM radio functionality into its new handsets where board space, performance and low power consumption are essential. Leveraging Silicon Laboratories' patented Aero(R) digital low intermediate frequency (low-IF) receiver architecture and 100 percent CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. process technology, the Si4700 delivers superior RF performance and interference rejection. Digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). is utilized to provide optimum sound quality under varying reception conditions. The high integration and complete system production test simplifies design, increases quality and improves manufacturing for customers like Amoi Mobile. "Consumers are increasingly demanding integrated music capabilities on cellular handsets without sacrificing performance," said Xie Hongquan, senior vice general manager of Amoi Mobile. "Silicon Laboratories' innovative FM tuner has been critical in enabling us to quickly implement FM radio capability with unmatched sound quality on our latest handset designs." "Amoi Mobile's adoption of the Si4700 is a testament to the ease-of-use and unmatched performance achievable with our FM radio tuner," said Tyson Tuttle, vice president of Silicon Laboratories. "Our innovative digital architecture leverages our expertise in RF performance to deliver the highest performance solution that can be easily integrated into handsets." This completely integrated solution requires only one external supply bypass capacitor Noun 1. bypass capacitor - a capacitor that provides low impedance over certain (high) frequencies bypass condenser capacitor, condenser, electrical condenser, capacitance - an electrical device characterized by its capacity to store an electric charge and less than 20 mm2 of board space. The patented Si4700 integrates selectivity selectivity /se·lec·tiv·i·ty/ (se-lek-tiv´i-te) in pharmacology, the degree to which a dose of a drug produces the desired effect in relation to adverse effects. selectivity 1. filtering, automatic gain control, frequency synthesis and audio processing. Amoi Mobile Co., Ltd. A subsidiary of Amoi Electronics Co., Ltd., Amoi Mobile is one of the top suppliers of cellular handsets in China. Amoi also develops and manufactures an extensive range of products including consumer audio and video systems, flat panel televisions, MP3 players A digital music player that supports the MP3 format, which was the audio format that started a revolution in online music downloads and distribution.
