Overview
Verona 2 is Frontier Silicon’s latest DAB/DAB+/FM custom digital radio module, designed to enable Digital Tick compliant products, using the new, highly integrated Kino 4 digital radio System on a Chip (SoC).
Designed to provide a high-performance, low-cost solution to a wide range of digital radio products, Verona 2 can be configured in master-mode for stand-alone portable, clock or (with a third party Bluetooth™ module) Bluetooth capable radios and slave-mode for audio systems with a host MCU. Capable of supporting a full colour display and Slideshow technology. Slideshow allows colourful displays to run alongside the station’s audio to provide extra information, such as, track details, web information, weather maps or traffic updates.
In addition to enabling reduced system cost, Verona 2 introduces a host of state-of-the-art technologies to optimise power consumption, RF and audio performance.
Verona 2 is a single-sided assembly built onto a 2-layer printed circuit board (1.6mm thick). Maximum component height is 2mm
The module provides all interfaces necessary for a fully functional digital radio speaker system with digital/analogue radio, needing only power supply, display, keypad, audio amplifier and speakers to complete a product.
