1. General description
The TEF6901A is a single-chip car radio integrated circuit with FM/AM tuner, stereo
decoder, weak signal processing and audio processing. Radio Data System (RDS)/Radio
Broadcast Data System (RBDS) demodulator for radio data reception is included.
FM tuner with double conversion to IF1 = 10.7 MHz and IF2 = 450 kHz with integrated
image rejection for both IF1 and IF2; integrated channel filter with variable bandwidth
control; capable of US FM, Europe FM, Japan FM and Eastern Europe FM. AM tuner with
double conversion to IF1 = 10.7 MHz and IF2 = 450 kHz; capable of Long Wave (LW),
Medium Wave (MW) and full range Short Wave (SW) (11 m to 120 m bands).
Multiplex (MPX) stereo decoder, ignition noise blanker and extensive weak signal
processing.
Audio processing with flexible source selection, volume, balance, fader, input gain control
and inaudible tuning mute. Integrated audio filters for bass and treble and loudness control
function.
The device can be controlled via the fast-mode I
2
C-bus (400 kHz) and includes
autonomous tuning functions for easy control without microcontroller timing. No manual
alignments are required.
