Silicon Laboratories Inc. has announced what it says is the first single-chip FM radio transceiver family. The digital architecture of the Si472x transceiver combines the functionality of the Si470x FM radio receiver with the Si471x FM radio transmitter in a single 3x3x0.55 mm package. Competing solutions require at least two chips, more than 50 external components and up to five times more board space.
