Broadcast
Our broadcast solutions include the world’s best-selling FM radio ICs, industry-leading solutions for GPS, and options for DAB. They’re part of our portfolio for music phones and are available in our multimedia-enabled Nexperia cellular system solutions.
FM Radio
NXP is the world’s number-one supplier of FM radio ICs. We offer the world’s smallest FM stereo radio, were first to introduce RDS features for portable applications, support all FM bands worldwide, and have options for AM radio functions. Also, our new command-based interface, available with the TEA5990, simplifies software development and makes system integration easier than ever.
The current portfolio includes the following ICs:
To improve electronic tuning in FM radios, we also offer the BB202, an ultra-small, low-voltage variable capacitance diode that delivers a very steep C/V curve and very low series resistance.

GPS
In GPS applications, we give manufacturers performance that exceeds the leading competitive solutions.
We deliver the highest sensitivity, the lowest power, and the fastest time-to-first-fix (TTFF). When
other solutions dropout - deep indoors, in urban canyons, transitioning from strong to weak satellite
signals or from in-vehicle to pedestrian operation - our solutions keep on tracking, for a better experience
that works wherever consumers go.
The GNS7560 is a high-performance, single-chip GPS solution.
It supports GSM, W-CDMA, and CDMA control plane A-GPS assistance data, supports SUPL user plane A-GPS assistance data, and exceeds 3GPP and 3GPP2 performance
requirements. It covers all the cellular reference frequencies (10 to 50 MHz), supports an I/O voltage of 1.8
to 3.3 V, has UART and SPI control interfaces, and operates over the range of -40 to +85 °C. The
GNS4540 is an ultra-low-power version of the GNS7560.
| Product | Sensitivity (A-GPS and autonomous hot-start) |
Tracking sensitivity | Power consumption (1-Hz tracking mode) |
Package(s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GNS7560 | F-158 dBm | -160 dBm | 15 mW | 54-ball WLCSP (3.6 x 2.4 x 0.6 mm, 0.4-mm pitch) 54-ball CABGA (6 x 4 x 0.8 mm, 0.65-mm pitch) |
| GNS4540 | -157 dBm | -159 dBm (3.5 x 3.5 mm) |
<15 mW | 84-ball CABGA (9 x 6 x 1.5 mm, 0.65-mm pitch) |
The GNR1040 is an ultra-low-power L1 GPS RFIC. It consumes only 15 mW, has a supply voltage of 1.8 V, and is available in a small 24-pin QFN that measures only 4 x 4 mm. It supports all the cellular reference frequencies (10 to 50 MHz), and integrates an LNA, IF filtering, PLL, VCO, and SPI control interface.
DAB
DAB, the Digital Audio Broadcasting standard, is a radio technology, currently broadcast on terrestrial networks, that shows promise as the basis for certain TV-on-mobile applications. We contributed to the development of the DAB standard and have options built into our TV-on-mobile solution that can be configured to support DAB.
