An HC11-Controlled Multiband RDS Radio
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc...
By Peter Topping Motorola, Ltd. East Kilbride, Scotland
This application note describes the software and hardware features of the microcontroller (MCU) of a synthesized multiband radio which includes RDS (radio data system) decoding (FM, band II). It uses an MC68HC(7)11 MCU whose program can be on-chip or contained in an external EPROM (erasable programmable read-only memory). ROM versions are available. Both LCD (liquid crystal display) and VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) 16-character dot matrix display modules can be used to display RDS and tuning information.
