Radioscape RS200L DAB/FM Receiver Module

The RadioScape RS200L is a fully integrated triple band Digital Radio Module for DAB/FM/RDS
consumer products, enabling low cost, feature rich DAB receivers to be designed in only a few
weeks. RadioScape’s Software Defined Radio approach enables additional features to be
uploaded as software to run on the DSP at the heart of the module providing the ability to
update and customise for additional functions to give product differentiation. Based on the
popular and readily available DRE200 DAB receiver chip from Texas Instruments, all components
have been selected to be standard off-the-shelf items to ensure high volume requirements for
the module can be easily satisfied.

The RS200L is based on the highly successful RS200 with • DAB L-band and Band III with fully integrated FM band II
which it is physically identical. Existing products can be reception requiring only one antenna
upgraded without any mechanical or electrical changes to add
• Integral RDS
L-band reception, and the addition of rewind functionality will
only need minor changes to the user interface. • Integrated Human Machine Interface for intuitive use of
DAB and FM functions
The range of optional features enables more advanced digital • Physical and software compatible with the RS200 module
radios to be created with the fully integrated L-band tuner, enabling simple product upgrade for new markets
offering a triple band module (L-band and band III for DAB
and band II for FM), integrated rewind and pause features to
store up to 10 minutes of audio using the on board memory, Optional additional features
optional CD transport control, alarm clock, MP3 playback,
• IR remote control
Infra Red remote control, etc. Applications include kitchen
radio, boom-boxes, ghetto-blasters, home entertainment • S/PDIF and I2S
centres, DVD players, clock radios, car radios, hi-fi tuners,
