I was browsing the Philips website when I came to this IC : TDA7088 and I said wow 
, it was the simplest AM/FM radio I ever saw. I looked on its price on a local electronic parts provider and it was about 5 RON (~1.7$) so it is worth building this radio as a hobby project.
Features of the chip :
- Equipped with all stages of a mono receiver from antenna to audio output
- Mute circuit
- Search tuning with a single varicap diode
- Mechanical tuning with integrating AFC
- AM application supported
- Power supply polarity protection
- Power supply voltage down to 1.8 V.
A simple circuit, taken from the application notes :
As we can see it doesn’t have an audio amplifier so you must build one for it! After another search I found an extremly simple and low cost (~1.2$) AA done with TDA7050 :
After my exams I think will do it and put here the construction images .

I know nothing about building this, I just know I need someone to build it for me. Can you contact me at jcranfill@triad.rr.com ? I’m certainly willing to pay for your expertise!
did you ever get someone to build the receiver you were looking for back in september last year, just wonder.
Just found your page now
if you still need some assistance write to my e-mail.

i need to build a fm receiver for my final project in my university,but i do not know too much about it…please help..
Hey Guys,
This chip is used in several earphone FM radios. I’ve found keychain mounted sets for sale on ebay for only a few dollars.
Look at this for circuits and construction info if you must build it yourself:

I bought 10 units on ebay for less than $30

hi guys can you send me the circuit diagram of
fm receiver using 7088 which was published in
http://www.circuits.8m.com/Fm-radio.htm…………..
it seems there is some problem with that site
plz forward to my email id below mesmerizeforu@yahoo.co.in
thanks this s so cool im gonna be able to listen to it when i need to
Hi,
So, did the FM/AM receiver using TDA7088 works well?? What about the construction images??
=D
had u construct the circuit ?
i need some information about the antenna used .
is this circuit really works ?
pls reply to tewweijie@yahoo.com
thanks alot ~!
