Ah, the TDA7000 FM radio receiver IC — the tiny miracle from the '80s that turned our bulky radios into pocket companions. Who knew that with a sprinkle of semiconductor magic, we could go from 5-foot antennas to the size of a keychain? Nothing says "I’m living in the future" like listening to static-filled tunes while battling with your cassette player.

But hey, let’s not forget the real innovation here: reverse-engineering this gem. Because who wouldn't want to spend their free time figuring out how to make a device that essentially does one thing—tune into your favorite station—smaller, while simultaneously increasing the number of wires you’ll never connect properly? Ah, progress!

Reverse-Engineering the TDA7000 FM Radio Receiver IC
During the 1980s a lot of consumer devices suddenly got a lot smaller as large-scale integration using semiconductor technology took off. This included radios, with Philips’ TDA7000 FM radio receiver …read more
