## Overview
|
||
|
||
**DigiRadio** is an open-source digital radio receiver that combines terrestrial
|
||
broadcast reception (**DAB+ / DAB / FM**) with a programmable audio-processing
|
||
stage and high-quality **Bluetooth** audio output.
|
||
|
||
Incoming broadcast audio is decoded by a Silicon Labs **Si4684** digital-radio
|
||
receiver, processed by an Analog Devices **ADAU1701 SigmaDSP** (equalisation,
|
||
mixing, level control), and transmitted over Bluetooth by a Qualcomm QCC3056-based
|
||
**Feasycom FSC-BT1035** module supporting the **aptX Adaptive** codec. An Espressif
|
||
**ESP32-S3** acts as the host controller, orchestrating the three subsystems and
|
||
providing Wi-Fi/BLE connectivity and a USB service interface.
|
||
|
||
The entire tuner → DSP → Bluetooth path is **fully digital (I²S, 48 kHz / 24-bit)** —
|
||
no analogue conversions are introduced between the tuner and the wireless link.
|
||
|
||

||

## Key Features
|
||
|
||
- **DAB+ / DAB / FM** reception (Si4684) via external whip antenna (SMA)
|
||
- **Fully digital audio path** — no avoidable A/D–D/A conversions
|
||
- **Programmable audio processing** on the ADAU1701 SigmaDSP
|
||
- **Bluetooth 5.2** output with **aptX / aptX HD / aptX Adaptive**
|
||
- **ESP32-S3** host with native USB, Wi-Fi and BLE
|
||
- **USB-C powered**; single-rail 3.3 V + low-noise 1.8 V for the tuner
|
||
- **6-layer impedance-controlled PCB**, 50 × 90 mm, two ground planes
|
||
- Three antennas (ESP32 2.4 GHz, BT1035 2.4 GHz, FM/DAB SMA) with proper keep-outs

## Documentation
|
||
|
||
The full design is described in the **[Technical Reference Manual](docs/DigiRadio_Manual.pdf)**,
|
||
covering the system architecture, signal chain, clock and power design, the 6-layer
|
||
stack-up and controlled-impedance strategy, the functional blocks, and the design
|
||
decisions behind the key choices.

|
||
## Design Highlights
|
||
|
||
| Topic | Choice | Rationale |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| **Audio quality** | QCC3056 / aptX Adaptive | The codec is the dominant quality factor on a wireless link; the DAC lives in the sink |
|
||
| **Audio path** | Fully digital I²S | Avoids unnecessary A/D–D/A conversions between tuner and Bluetooth |
|
||
| **I²S master** | ADAU1701 (12.288 MHz) | Clean ×256 → 48 kHz; avoids sample-rate mismatch |
|
||
| **Stack-up** | 6-layer, 2× GND | Solid ground reference under RF, crystals and USB |
|
||
| **USB routing** | TOP, ref. GND | 90 Ω diff achievable at manufacturable geometry |
|
||
| **Antennas** | 3 zones, diagonal 2.4 GHz | Coexistence separation + full-layer keep-outs |

## Status
|
||
|
||
- ✅ **Schematic** — complete and reviewed
|
||
- ✅ **PCB layout** — 6-layer, DRC clean, plane continuity verified
|
||
- ✅ **BOM** — finalised (manufacturable / sourced)
|
||
- 🔜 **Prototype** — in fabrication (PCBWay)
|
||
- 🛠️ **Firmware** — in active development (released after bring-up)

||
## Manufacturing
|
||
|
||
The board is manufactured with **PCBWay** as a 6-layer, impedance-controlled PCB
|
||
with turnkey assembly. The FSC-BT1035 Bluetooth module is sourced from Feasycom
|
||
(the footprint uses a BT806-compatible, pin-identical land pattern). See the
|
||
[Manufacturing chapter](docs/DigiRadio_Manual.pdf) of the manual for fabrication
|
||
notes, impedance-control settings and MSL-3 handling of the BT module.
