The MT1119 Antena Amplifier Chip targeted for new-car model in-glass, roof and bumper antennas, enables superior multi-standard (AM, FM, HD-Radio[tm], DRM) car radio reception. Together with its miniature form factor and high-level of integration, the MT1119 results in a compact, low-cost RF solution requiring a minimum number of external components. The MT1119, at 4 x4 millimeters, is part of Microtune’s family of automotive products developed specifically to meet the strict performance, qualification and manufacturing requirements of car makers and Tier-1 suppliers…

Microtune’s New Automotive-Qualified Amplifier Chip for Integrated Car Radio Antennas Now Available

Reinforcing its strategy to bring its market-leading silicon radio frequency (RF) technology to the automotive industry, Microtune®, Inc. (NASDAQ: TUNE) announced that its new antenna amplifier, the MT1119, is now automotive-qualified and released to production. The amplifier chip, targeted for new-car model in-glass, roof and bumper antennas, enables superior multi-standard (AM, FM, HD-Radio[tm], DRM) car radio reception. Together with its miniature form factor and high-level of integration, the MT1119 results in a compact, low-cost RF solution requiring a minimum number of external components.

The TSH122 is a single-channel CVBS (Composite Video Baseband Signal) video buffer/filter with 6dB internal gain, optimized for DC or AC coupling to a 75-Ohm cable. The input can be directly connected to the video DAC, to drive composite video to an external device such as a TV display. Consistent with its low power consumption, operation from a single supply of 2.2Vto 5V (tested at 2.5V and 3.3V) also makes this device compatible with battery-powered applications. The TSH122 device has a low operating current of 1.7mA and draws the lowest standby current among comparable devices, at just 4nA typical, 500nA maximum…

Ultra-Low-Power Video Buffer from STMicroelectronics Unlocks Extra Battery Life for Mobile Video Products

TSH122 combines low operating current and industry’s lowest standby power for longer recharge intervals in portable consumer devices

The CS47048 is an advanced 32-bit DSP in single core audio processor with powerful customer programming tools and multibit Delta-Sigma audio converter technology, both of which provide best in class performance. This integration allows audio amplifier designers to greatly simplify designs by reducing the number of ICs required to implement an automotive amplifier by as many as 10, depending on channel count and signal processing requirements. This chip reduction, which includes A/D converters, D/A converters, DSP, memory, and SPDIF I/O, dramatically reduces the board space required and system cost…
