Skyworks’ Si469xx Product Family Delivers
Industry-leading Combination of Integration, Flexibility and Low
Cost
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS) today introduced the
Si469xx family of automotive digital radio coprocessors for future
in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems. With its combination of
integration, flexibility and low cost, the Si469xx family of
coprocessors is optimized to operate with Skyworks’ Si479xx Hybrid
Software Defined Radio (SDR) Tuners to achieve a cost-effective
digital radio receiver. The new Si469xx product family can
demodulate and decode up to four digital radio channels supporting
HD Radio, DAB/DAB+, DRM (for AM and FM), and CDR, providing high
performance and unmatched scalability.

The Si469xx product family supports advanced capabilities such
as Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) and seamless linking of digital
radio, analog radio and Internet Protocol content. With its
integrated customer-programmable microcontroller (MCU), the Si469xx
can significantly reduce bill of materials (BOM) costs by
eliminating the need for an external MCU and its support
components. Software design is simplified through several
improvements, including a Demod/Tuner Manager that relieves system
developers from having to program low-level radio control
functions.
As of June 2022, over 59% of all new vehicles delivered in the
U.S. contain a factory-installed HD Radio receiver as reported by
Inside Radio1. While WorldDAB2, the international association
promoting the global adoption of this digital radio transmission
standard, notes that in 2022, 96% of new cars sold within the
European Union were equipped with DAB+.
Radios in automobiles have historically been implemented in the
head unit (HU) or cockpit system located in the dashboard. However,
increasingly radio tuners are implemented in a separate module,
often as a remote tuner module (RTM). The RTM offers benefits
including reduced cable weight and the ability to design and
qualify the radio for use across car models, which decouples it
from the evolution of the HU/cockpit system. The cable weight
reductions are a result of replacing RF coaxial cabling to the HU
with a much lighter twisted pair cabling, typically accomplished
with ADI A2B™ technology, which is optimized for automotive digital
audio applications, or ethernet.
By leveraging separate tuner and coprocessor ICs, Skyworks
offers an optimal balance between partitioning and integration,
which helps solve thermal challenges associated with RTM
applications. This also provides robust scalability and
configurability to address multiple regions and performance points.
System designers can create a single board design that can be
populated with different pin/package and software API compatible
devices.
“The integration of the Si469xx product family from Skyworks has
allowed us to usher in the next generation of remote tuners from
HIRSCHMANN MOBILITY together,” said Adrian Sigg, manager product
management at HIRSCHMANN MOBILITY. “We now offer our customers a
cutting-edge product with top performance and optimum cost-benefit
relation.”
“In recent years, A2B technology has become the industry’s
standard for low-latency digital audio connectivity. Our innovation
is uniquely tailored for the RTM use case, where it not only offers
substantial performance enhancements, but also drives a reduction
in overall system costs,” said Andy Lanfear, general manager,
Automotive Audio & Networking at Analog Devices. “ADI is proud
to work with Skyworks in jointly promoting our complementary
technologies into this rapidly expanding application area.”
“Building on the unparalleled scalability of Skyworks’
automotive radio product portfolio with the added benefits of
improved performance, lower system cost and ease of use, the
Si469xx family of products enhances our ability to address the
needs of future IVI systems by delivering best-in-class capability,
flexibility and affordability to our customers,” said Juan Revilla,
vice president and general manager of broadcast products at
Skyworks. “Along with our family of Si479xx Hybrid SDR tuners, this
new family of digital radio coprocessors enhances our overall
automotive product portfolio and bolsters our strategy in this key
secular growth market. Skyworks is strongly positioned to address
RTM, SDR and head unit automotive radio implementations.”
