From the project
Small low cost Headless TEF variant.
USB radio tuner based on the STM32F072 MCU and TEF668X/V205 RF receiver with digital audio output over USB. This is the lite variant of our Headless USB tuner. It is more compact, with a simplified RF input path and only one antenna input for AM/FM.
This design is optimized as a cost-efficient solution tailored for automated PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) processes.
