Microtune plans to deploy its silicon MicroTuner tuner and amplifier technologies in future automotive multimedia products, enabling even higher performance and smaller form factors. As a unique feature, the 1383 series supports the RF frequency ranges of the U.S., Japan and Europe, providing a compact RF tuner that meets the high-end performance and quality requirements of global markets. One of the first solutions to deploy dynamic filter adjustment, the 1383 delivers clean, clear signals in high-density urban environments. With future products, Microtune plans to support telematics applications, such as weather information, location-specific traffic information and emergency call notification, and plans to deploy its silicon tuner technology. Both the 6102 and 1383 tuners are available now.
Pricing is also negotiable based on volume, feature sets and customization requirements.
