Description
Kino 4 is the latest generation of low-power integrated digital radio system-on-chip (SoC). It is a fully integrated single chip radio receiver SoC containing RF tuner, baseband, application processor, audio decode and DAC functionality.
Kino 4 has been designed to power all major categories of consumer digital radio device from simple portable digital radios to home audio systems in either a master or slave configuration.Containing a number of innovative technologies to optimise power consumption,
Kino 4 uses up to 50% less power than the previous generation Kino 3 chips. The high level of integration such as built-in voltage regulators help to reduce the system component count and keep BoM costs to a minimum as well as reducing manufacturing time.
Kino 4 is Digital Tick compliant. The on-chip multi-band RF tuner and processor operate in the following RF bands; LW/MW/SW, FM, DAB-III and DAB-L.Kino4 can be used for aftermarket auto products with AutoDAB SDK, enabling advanced features such as service following.
