1. Introduction
This document provides an overview of the programming requirements for the Si477x AM/FM receiver with support
for an external IBOC HD demodulator. The hardware control interface and software commands are detailed along
with several examples of the required steps to configure the device for various modes of operation. Table 1
provides a programming guide cross-reference for each Si477x part released by Silicon Labs to date. This
programming guide focuses on the Si477x-A20 release.

2. Overview
This family of products is programmed using commands and responses. To perform an action, the system
controller writes a command byte and associated arguments, which cause the device to execute the given
command. The device will, in turn, provide a response depending on the type of command that was sent.
The device has a slave control interface that allows the system controller to send commands to and receive
responses from the device using 2-wire mode (I2C compatible).

4. Control Interface
The Si477x provides an I2C-compatible, 2-wire control interface.
In powerdown mode, all circuitry is disabled except for the device control interface. The device comes out of
powerdown mode when the POWER_UP command is written to the command register. Once in powerup mode,
the device accepts additional commands such as tuning. The device will not accept commands while in
powerdown mode, with the exception of the powerup command. If the system controller writes a command other
than POWER_UP when in powerdown mode, the device does not respond, and the command is ignored.
Setting the RSTB pin low places the device in reset mode. In reset mode, all circuitry is disabled including the
device control interface; registers are set to their default settings, and the control bus is disabled.
4.1. 2-Wire Control Interface
Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the 2-wire control interface read and write timing parameters and diagrams,

Two-wire bus mode uses the SCL and SDA pins for signaling. A transaction begins with the START condition,
which occurs when SDA falls while SCL is high. Next, the system controller drives an 8-bit control word serially on
SDA, which is captured by the device on rising edges of SCL. The control word consists of a seven-bit device
address followed by a read/write bit (read = 1, write = 0). The device acknowledges the control word by driving
SDA low on the next falling edge of SCL.
For write operations, the system controller next sends a data byte on SDA, which is captured by the device on
rising edges of SCL. The device acknowledges each data byte by driving SDA low for one cycle on the next falling
edge of SCL. For each write transaction, the first byte is a command and the following bytes are arguments.
For read operations, after the device has acknowledged the control byte, it will drive an eight-bit data byte on SDA,
changing the state of SDA on the falling edges of SCL. The system controller acknowledges each data byte by
driving SDA low for one cycle on the next falling edge of SCL. If a data byte is not acknowledged by the system
controller, the transaction will end. For each read transaction, the first byte is the status byte and the following bytes
are the response data from the receiver.
A 2-wire transaction ends with the STOP condition, which occurs when SDA rises while SCL is high.

5. Powerup and Powerdown
There are two procedures for powering up a receiver to move it from powerdown mode to the powerup mode. The
first is a powerup from internal receiver memory. The second is a powerup from a firmware component patch that is
stored in system controller memory. Patches can be applied to a firmware component by the system controller via
a download mechanism to address field issues, errata, or adjust device behavior. Patches are encrypted and
unique to a particular device firmware version, cannot be generated by customers, and can be used to replace a
portion of the component (to address errata, for example) or to download an entirely new component. The user
must verify that the device contains the correct base firmware to support the patch as described later in this
section.
It is possible to configure the receiver for operation with a crystal or an external clock. Refer to Table 2 below.

Labs are intended for use with the part firmware revision and ROM, and that full patches are intended for use with
the ROM ID as shown in Table 3. It is possible to verify the FM and AM component firmware revisions with the
FUNC_INFO command, however, this is not necessary because there is always a unique mapping of component
revision to part revision.

8. Send the patch data.
The patch file provided by Silicon Labs typically has a .csg extension. The system controller must send each line of
8 bytes, wait for a CTS, then send the next line of 8 bytes, etc., until the entire patch has been sent. An example
showing the first few lines and final line of a patch file is shown below. Note that the “#” character indicates a
comment and the patch file indicates the required ROM ID for a partial or full download. If the checksum fails, the
part issues an error code, ERR (bit 6 of the STATUS byte received after each 8-byte transfer), and halts. The part
must be reset to recover from this error condition.
The following is an example of a patch file:

6. Digital Audio Interface
The digital audio interface operates in slave mode and supports 5 different audio data formats:
2
I S
Audio
Left-Justified
Audio
Right-Justified Audio
DSP Audio
DSP Left-Justified Audio
In I2S mode, the MSB is captured on the second rising edge of DCLK following each DFS transition. The remaining
bits of the word are sent in order down to the LSB. The Left Channel is transferred first when the DFS is low, and
the Right Channel is transferred when the DFS is high.
In left-justified mode, the MSB is captured on the first rising edge of DCLK following each DFS transition. The
remaining bits of the word are sent in order down to the LSB. The Left Channel is transferred first when the DFS is
high, and the Right Channel is transferred when the DFS is low.
In right-justified format, by default, the LSB is captured on the last rising edge of DCLK in each valid DFS interval.
The left channel is transferred first when the DFS is high, and the right channel is transferred when the DFS is low.
In DSP format, the DFS becomes a pulse with a width of one DCLK period. The left channel is transferred first,
followed right away by the right channel. There are two options in transferring the digital audio data in DSP format;
the MSB of the left channel can be transferred on the first rising edge of DCLK following the DFS pulse (leftjustified DSP format) or on the second rising edge.
In all audio formats, depending on the word size, DCLK frequency, and sample rates, there may be unused DCLK
cycles after the LSB of each word before the next DFS transition and MSB of the next word. In addition, the user
can configure the MSB to be captured on the falling edge of DCLK via properties. The number of audio bits can be
configured for 8, 16, 20, or 24 bits.

7. Digital ZIF I/Q Interface
The digital ZIF I/Q output can provide the down converted channelized AM/FM signal at baseband to a third-party
processor for AM/FM HD radio processor for IBOC signal processing (Si4777 only). The Si4777 provide a 500 kHz
BW signal for FM IBOC signal processing and a 30 kHz BW signal for AM IBOC signal processing. The ZIF I/Q 4pin interface consists of two data serial lines containing I and Q data, a bit clock, and a word frame for each data
sample. The interface operates in master mode and supports five different data formats:
I2S
ZIF
Left-Justified
ZIF
Right-Justified ZIF
DSP ZIF
DSP Left-Justified ZIF

7.1. ZIF I/Q Data Formats
In I2S format, by default, the MSB is captured on the second rising edge of IQCLK following each IQFS transition.
The remaining bits of the word are sent in order, down to the LSB.
In Left-Justified format, by default, the MSB is captured on the first rising edge of IQCLK following each IQFS
transition. The remaining bits of the word are sent in order, down to the LSB.
In Right-Justified format, by default, the LSB is captured on the last rising edge of IQCLK in each valid IQFS
interval.
In DSP format, the IQFS becomes a pulse with a width of 1 IQCLK period. There are two options in transferring the
digital baseband I/Q data in DSP format: the MSB of I and Q data can be transferred on the first rising edge of
IQCLK following the IQFS pulse (left-justified DSP format) or on the second rising edge.
In all data formats, depending on the word size, IQCLK frequency, and sample rates, there may be unused IQCLK
cycles after the LSB of each word before the next IQFS transition and MSB of the next word. In addition, if
preferred, the user can configure the MSB to be captured on the falling edge of IQCLK via properties. The number
of baseband I/Q bits is configured for 16 bits.

8. Timing
8.1. Command and Property Timing
When the user reads a response over the I2C bus, the first 8 bits returned are the STATUS register. Bit 7 of the
STATUS register is the CTS bit (Clear to Send). When CTS is 1, it indicates that the chip is ready to receive a new
command. Seek and Tune commands may take longer to complete than most other commands, so they also use
the STC bit (Seek/Tune Complete) to indicate they have completed. STC is bit 0 of the STATUS register.
When the user sends any command, the CTS bit will immediately reset to 0. CTS will remain 0 while the chip
processes the command. When the chip is finished processing the command, the CTS bit will be set back to 1.
Before sending another command, the user may poll CTS by reading the first byte of response until CTS=1. If the
user has enabled the optional CTS interrupt, then the INTB pin will pulse low immediately after CTS has been set to
1, to notify the user that the previous command has completed. For information on how to enable the CTS interrupt,
see the INT_CTL_ENABLE property and CTSIEN bit in the arguments for the POWER_UP command.
The commands for seek and tune (FM_TUNE_FREQ, FM_SEEK_START, etc.) will cause CTS to reset to 0 for a
short time, but they will set CTS back to 1 after the seek or tune has started. The seek or tune is progressing even
though CTS has been set back to 1. Although the user is free to send another command at this time, it is highly
recommended to wait until the STC (Seek/Tune Complete) bit has been set to 1 before sending another command.
The only exception is the AM/FM/WB_RSQ_STATUS command, which may be sent at any time because it can be
used to cancel the seek/tune in progress and check the status of which station seek is currently on.
When the seek/tune completes, the STC bit will be set to 1. The user may poll STC by reading the first byte of
response until STC=1. If the user has enabled the optional STC interrupt, then the INTB pin will pulse low
immediately after STC has been set to 1, to notify the user that the seek or tune has completed. For information on
how to enable the STC interrupt, see the INT_CTL_ENABLE property.
After the seek or tune has completed, the user may acknowledge the completion by sending the AM/FM/
WB_RSQ_STATUS command with the STCACK bit set to 1. This will reset the STC bit back to 0. After this, the user
may send another seek or tune command. Alternatively a new seek or tune command will also clear the STC bit
when it begins.
Figure 14 shows a seek or tune command with the optional CTS and STC interrupts enabled. The timing
parameters are shown in Table 6.

mode. Note that only the POWER_UP command is accepted in powerdown mode. If the system controller writes a
command other than POWER_UP when in powerdown mode, the device will not respond. The device will only
respond when a POWER_UP command is written. It is possible to power down a device and leave the oscillator
running. This may be desirable in multiple receiver applications in which the device driving the oscillator for other
devices is to be placed in powerdown without affecting the other devices.

Command 0x18 DIG_AUDIO_PIN_CFG
The DIG_AUDIO_PIN_CFG command configures the digital audio pins. Ensure that DCLK and DFS are stable
before this command is sent. Writing an argument byte to a non-zero value will change the state of a pin. Writing an
argument byte to 0 will not change the state of the pin and is useful when using this command to query the state of
the pins. The command is complete when the CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set. This command may only be
sent in powerup mode.

Property 0x0300 AUDIO_ANALOG_VOLUME
The AUDIO_ANALOG_VOLUME property sets the analog audio volume. A value of 0 will mute the audio; a value
of 1 applies 62 dB of attenuation, and a value of 63 applies no attenuation. Each step accounts for 1 dB of change
in the output. The CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to send the next command. This property
may only be set or read in powerup mode.

9.2.1. FM Receiver Commands
Command 0x30 FM_TUNE_FREQ
The FM_TUNE_FREQ command sets the FM Receiver to tune to a frequency between 64 and 108 MHz in 10 kHz
units. The CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to send the next command. The ERR bit (and
optional interrupt) is set if an invalid argument is sent. Note that only a single interrupt occurs if both the CTS and
ERR bits are set. The optional STC interrupt is set when the command completes. This command may only be sent
in powerup mode. The command clears the STC bit if it is already set.

The FM_SEEK_START command begins searching for a valid station. In order for a station to be considered valid,
each of the following thresholds must be met: FM_VALID_SNR_THRESHOLD and FM_VALID_RSSI_THRESHOLD and
FM_VALID_MAX_TUNE_ERROR. Clears any pending STCINT, RSQINT, or RDSINT interrupt status. Seek can be
cancelled through setting the CANCEL bit in the FM_RSQ_STATUS command. The CTS bit (and optional
interrupt) is set when it is safe to send the next command. The ERR bit (and optional interrupt) is set if an invalid
argument is sent. Note that only a single interrupt occurs if both the CTS and ERR bits are set. The optional STC
interrupt is set when the command completes. This command may only be sent in powerup mode. The command
clears the STCINT bit if it is already set.

Command 0x32 FM_RSQ_STATUS
The FM_RSQ_STATUS command returns status information about the received signal quality. This command
returns the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Adjacent Channel Strength for
200 kHz (ASSI), Adjacent Channel Strength for 100 kHz (LASSI and HASSI), frequency offset (FREQOFF),
Multipath (MULT) and Ultrasonic Noise (USN) associated with the desired channel. It also indicates valid channel
(VALID) and AFC rail status (AFCRL). This command can be used to check if the received signal is above the
RSSI high threshold as reported by RSSIHINT or below the RSSI low threshold as reported by RSSILINT. It can
also be used to check if the signal is above the SNR high threshold as reported by SNRHINT or below the SNR low
threshold as reported by SNRLINT. It can be used to check if the detected multipath is above the Multipath high
threshold as reported by MULTHINT or below the Multipath low threshold as reported by MULTLINT.
The command clears the RSQINT, BLENDINT, SNRHINT, SNRLINT, RSSIHINT, RSSILINT, MULTHINT, and
MULTLINT interrupt bits when the RSQACK bit of ARG1 is set. If the condition is still true after the interrupt is
cleared, another interrupt will fire assuming that bit is enabled in FM_RSQ_INTERRUPT_SOURCE. The CTS bit
(and optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to send the next command. This command may only be sent when in
powerup mode.

Command 0x36 FM_RDS_STATUS
The FM_RDS_STATUS command returns RDS information for current channel and reads an entry from the RDS
FIFO. RDS information includes synch status, FIFO status, group data (blocks A, B, C, and D), and block errors
corrected. Maximum RDS FIFO size is 25 groups. This command clears the RDSINT interrupt bit when INTACK bit
in ARG1 is set, and, if MTFIFO is set, the entire RDS receive FIFO is cleared (FIFO is always cleared during
FM_TUNE_FREQ or FM_SEEK_START). The CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to send the
next command. This command may only be sent in powerup mode.

Property 0x1305 FM_ACF_BLEND_THRESHOLD
The FM_ACF_BLEND_THRESHOLD property sets the interrupt trigger threshold for stereo blend. The threshold is
expressed as a percentage in terms of L minus R (L – R) gain factor K. When the L–R gain falls below this
threshold and the BLEND_INT is enabled through the FM_ACF_INTERRUPT_SOURCE property, the BLEND_INT
will be asserted. The CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to send the next command. This property
may only be set or read in powerup mode.
Note: Stereo Separation S = (1 + K) / (1 – K), where K is the L minus R gain factor. Stereo separation of 1 implies mono mode
and stereo separation of >1 implies that the part is in stereo with up to 20 log(S) dB of stereo separation. This property
expresses the threshold value of K as a percentage. For example, value 0x0032 = a K of 50%, or a stereo separation of
S = (1.5 / 0.5) = 3. The interrupt would then trigger at 20 log(3) = 9.5 dB of stereo separation.

Property 0x4003 FM_RDS_CONFIDENCE
The FM_RDS_CONFIDENCE property sets the required receiver confidence level for each RDS block prior to
demodulation. A higher confidence requirement will result in more block errors (higher percentage of blocks with
BLE=3), but reduces the chance of decoder errors (lower percentage of blocks that contain incorrect information
despite having BLE<3). Higher confidence requirements may result in a decrease in the frequency with which RDS
data is stored in the FIFO. Higher block error rates will affect RDS sensitivity tests. The CTS bit (and optional

Command 0x42 AM_RSQ_STATUS
The AM_RSQ_STATUS command returns status information about the received signal quality. This command
returns Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), High Side Adjacent Channel
Strength (HASSI), Low Side Adjacent Channel Strength (LASSI), Frequency Offset (FREQOFF), and AM
Modulation Index (MOD) associated with the desired channel. It also indicates valid channel (VALID) and AFC rail
status (AFCRL). This command can be used to check if the received signal is above the RSSI high threshold as
reported by RSSIHINT, or below the RSSI low threshold as reported by RSSILINT. It can also be used to check if
the signal is above the SNR high threshold as reported by SNRHINT, or below the SNR low threshold as reported
by SNRLINT.
The command clears the RSQINT, SNRHINT, SNRLINT, RSSIHINT and RSSILINT interrupt bits when RSQACK bit
of ARG1 is set. If the condition is still true after the interrupt is cleared another interrupt will fire assuming that bit is
enabled in AM_RSQ_INTERRUPT_SOURCE. The CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to send
the next command. This command may only be sent in powerup mode.

10.1.3. AGC
For FM mode, the AGC default configuration is generally optimal. The following section describes the settings and
options. AGC settings may be over-ridden by setting property 0x0710 FM_AGC_OVERRIDE and the state of the
AGC peak detectors may be monitored by sending command 0x17 AGC_STATUS.
10.1.3.1. FM
FM AGC configuration involves setting signal routing, AGC and peak detector.
The default property settings are configured for routing through the LNA input (instead of directly to the mixer) with
50 Ω LNA impedance as shown in Figure 17.

Figure 17. FM Single Receiver System Diagram
For optimal weak signal, blocker and intermodulation performance, the default property settings are configured to
disable the LNA peak detector and associated attack/release time constants, and enable the mixer peak detector
thresholds to 85 dBµV and 3 dB hysteresis, with an attack time of 4 ms and release time of 80 ms.
To improve weak signal performance at the expense of intermodulation performance, the mixer peak detector
thresholds may be increased to as high as 93 dBµV. To improve blocker and intermodulation performance at the
expense of weak signal performance, the mixer peak detector thresholds may be decreased to as low as 79 dBµV.
To improve impulsive noise desensitization (caused by engaging the AGC) at the expense of AGC response time,
the mixer peak detector attack time may be increased from 4 ms to an attack time greater than the period of the
impulses.

10.1.3.2. AM
AM AGC configuration involves configuring signal routing, AGC and peak detector characteristics.
The default property settings are configured for optimal performance with the harmonic rejection enabled, IF AGC
attack time of 80 ms and release time of 804 ms, RF attack time of 8 ms and RF release time of 800 ms.
10.1.4. Interrupts
The interrupt status can be monitored by sending command 0x15 GET_INT_STATUS. Note that the command
response varies based on FM or AM mode. Interrupt pins can be configured by sending command 0x1C
INTB_PIN_CFG.
Property 0x0000 INT_CTL_ENABLE enables top-level interrupt sources and interrupt repetition characteristics.
Property group 0x1200 configures RSQ (RSSI, SNR) interrupts. Property group 0x1300 configures ACF (Softmute,
Channel Filter Bandwidth, Hi-blend, Hi-cut) interrupts. Note that Hi-blend only applies to FM mode operation.
Property group 0x4000 configures RDS interrupts.
10.1.5. Channel Equalizer
Property 0x3400 enables and disables the FM multipath channel equalizer.
Multi-path interference results in frequency-selective and frequency-flat fading of the FM signal at the receiver.
Frequency-selective fading causes different frequencies of an input signal to be attenuated and phase shifted
differently in a channel. Frequency-selective fading gives rise to notches in the frequency response of the channel.
The channel equalizer performs blind equalization utilizing proprietary constant modulus algorithm (CMA) to
restore the flat response of the channel.
The channel equalizer is enabled when multipath > 8% and disabled when multipath < 4% for stereo, when
multipath > 30% and disabled when multipath < 25% for mono, enabled when max(LASSI, HASSI) > 30 dB and
disabled when max(LASSI, HASSI) < 20 dB, enabled when ASSI200 > 50 dB and disabled when ASSI200 <
40 dB. Stereo is set if the PLL is locked or there is significant energy at the pilot. If any condition is satisfied, the
channel equalizer will be enabled.
Table 21 summarizes the metric conditions that will enable the equalizer.

10.1.6. Channel Filter Bandwidth
10.1.6.1. FM
Property group 0x2200 configures channel filter bandwidth characteristics for FM mode.
Five independent channel filter bandwidth engines can be configured using RSSI (weak signal engine), ASSI100
(absolute value of difference between ±100 kHz channel RSSI), ASSI200 (sum of ±200 kHz channel RSSI minus
desired channel RSSI), and 200 kHz blocker deviation as the metric. For RSSI, ASSI100, and ASSI200, channel
filter bandwidth ranging from minimum to maximum occurs at the specified widening rate as the metric increases
above the minimum threshold and reaches maximum threshold. Channel filter bandwidth ranging from maximum to
minimum occurs at the specified narrowing rate as the metric decreases below the maximum threshold and
reaches the minimum threshold. For 200 kHz blocker deviation, channel filter bandwidth ranging from 80 to 32 kHz
occurs at 1 ms rate as the metric increases above 75 kHz and reaches 100 kHz. Channel filter bandwidth ranging
from 32 to 80 kHz occurs at the 300 ms rate as the metric decreases below 100 kHz and reaches 75 kHz. The
resulting channel filter bandwidth is the minimum of the result of the five blend engine calculations.
Property 0x220F FM_CHBW_WEAKSIG_THR is used to set the hysteresis window for enabling the weak signal
RSSI engine. The default is to enable above 16 dBuV RSSI and disable below 14 dBµV RSSI. Note that this
hysteresis range is always determined by RSSI and is not configurable with the FM_ACF_CONTROL_SOURCE
property.
Property 0x2210 FM_CHBW_BLOCKER_THR is used to set the hysteresis window for engaging the 200 kHz
blocker engine. The default is to enable above 20 dB ASSI200 and disable below 10 dB ASSI200. Note that 2 dB
ASSI200 indicates that the sum of the energy at +200 kHz and –200 kHz is 20 dB greater than the desired
channel. The 200 kHz blocker deviation engine is only enabled when sufficient pilot energy is present on the
desired channel.
10.1.6.2. AM
Property group 0x2200 configures channel filter bandwidth characteristics for AM mode.
Two independent channel filter bandwidth engines can be configured using RSSI or SNR and ASSI (independent
±9/10 kHz channel RSSI relative to on-channel RSSI). Channel filter bandwidth ranging from minimum to
maximum occurs at the specified widening rate as the metric increases above the minimum threshold and reaches
maximum threshold. Channel filter bandwidth ranging from maximum to minimum occurs at the specified
narrowing rate as the metric decreases below the maximum threshold and reaches the minimum threshold. The
resulting channel filter bandwidth is the minimum of the result of the two blend engine calculations.
Property 0x1306 AM_ACF_CONTROL_SOURCE is used to select RSSI or SNR as a metric for the channel filter
bandwidth.
10.1.7. Softmute
Property group 0x0400 configures softmute characteristics for FM and AM modes.
Property 0x1306 FM_ACF_CONTROL_SOURCE (or AM_ACF_CONTROL_SOURCE is used to select SNR
(default) or RSSI as a metric for the softmute engine. For FM and AM modes, the property is also used to select
whether an AFC rail condition will engage softmute. The most common cause for an AFC rail condition is tuning to
an idle channel.
Softmute engages as SNR (or RSSI) drops below a trigger threshold and audio level reaches a maximum
attenuation at the end threshold. Softmute releases as SNR (or RSSI) rises above the end threshold and audio
level reaches full level at the trigger threshold. The attack and release rates are configurable along with maximum
attenuation and trigger and end thresholds.

10.1.8. Automatic Volume Control (AVC)
Property group 0x0500 configures automatic volume control (AVC) for AM mode.
The AVC minimum and maximum gain can be configured. The AVC maintains a constant carrier level.
10.1.9. Mono/stereo Blend
Property group 0x3500 configures the mono/stereo blend characteristics for FM mode.
Three independent blend engines can be configured with rates using RSSI, multipath, and USN as the metric.
Blend from minimum stereo to maximum stereo separation occurs at the specified attack rate as the metric
increases above the minimum threshold and reaches maximum threshold. Blend from maximum stereo to
minimum stereo separation occurs at the specified release rate as the metric decreases below the maximum
threshold and reaches the minimum threshold. The resulting stereo separation is the minimum of the result of the
six blend engine calculations.
10.1.10. Hi-cut
Hi-cut applies a lowpass filter to the L+R MPX audio.
10.1.10.1. FM
Property group 0x3600 configures the Hi-cut characteristics for FM mode.
Three independent blend engines can be configured with rates using RSSI, multipath, and USN as the metric. Hicut from minimum to maximum occurs at the specified attack rate as the metric increases above the minimum
threshold and reaches maximum threshold. Hi-cut from maximum to minimum occurs at the specified release rate
as the metric decreases below the maximum threshold and reaches the minimum threshold. The resulting Hi-cut is
the minimum of the result of the six blend engine calculations.
10.1.10.2. AM
Property group 0x3100 configures the Hi-cut characteristics for AM mode.
The blend engine can be configured with RSSI or SNR as the metric. Hi-cut from minimum to maximum occurs at
the specified attack rate as the metric increases above the minimum threshold and reaches maximum threshold.
Hi-cut from maximum to minimum occurs at the specified release rate as the metric decreases below the maximum
threshold and reaches the minimum threshold.
10.1.11. Hi-blend
Hi-blend applies a lowpass filter to the L-R MPX audio. Property group 0x3700 configures the Hi-blend
characteristics for FM mode.
Three independent blend engines can be configured with rates using RSSI, multipath, and USN as the metric. Hiblend from minimum to maximum occurs at the specified attack rate as the metric increases above the minimum
threshold and reaches maximum threshold. Hi-blend from maximum to minimum occurs at the specified release
rate as the metric decreases below the maximum threshold and reaches the minimum threshold. The resulting Hiblend is the minimum of the result of the six blend engine calculations.

10.2. Operation
Operations including sending a command, checking CTS and ERR state, checking STC state, tune, seek, phase
diversity receiver mode selection and RDS are possible.
10.2.1. Tune
The tune operation provides options for configuring normal FM or HD bandwidth, tuning mode (validated normal
tune, unvalidated fast tune) and audio filter state management (re-initialize based on new channel, or smoothly
transition from current to new channel). In the case of tuning mode, 0x2000 property group sets the tune/seek
metric thresholds and timing (RSSI, SNR, frequency error). Note that references to “AFC Rail” in this manual refers
to a condition in which the frequency offset of the desired channel is outside the frequency error as configured with
property group 0x2000.
Start
1. Configure Tune
parameters
2. FM_TUNE_FREQ,
or AM_TUNE_FREQ
3. Check CTS & ERR
4. Check STC
End
1. Complete the appropriate steps in section “10.1. Configuration”.
2. Send the FM_TUNE_FREQ command to tune to a specific frequency. If the receiver has been muted (for
example during IBOC HD configuration), set property 0x0301 to disable mute. Note that AM tuning is very
similar. Refer to the AM_TUNE_FREQ command.

In this example, the BLER = (27 + (10015-9355)) / 10015 = 6.8%.
4. Send the FM_RDS_STATUS in response to a configured RDS interrupt or at a set time interval. For
example, an interrupt can be configured when the 25 group FIFO has any number of entries between 1
and 25. Alternatively, the command can be sent every 88 ms (time for one group to be received) to 2.2
seconds (time for 25 groups to be received). The FM_RDS_STATUS command must be called once for
each entry. The FIFOUSED field can be used to monitor FIFO status. Refer to the RDS and RBDS

2. Read the STATUS byte and RESP1.
3. If CTS is set, it is safe to send the next command. Go to step 5.
4. If CTS is not set, check if the timer measures greater than 125 ms (time to execute the POWER_UP
command plus 20% margin). If it does, it is likely that the receiver is not in the power up state. Refer to "5.
Powerup and Powerdown" on page 4. If it doesn’t, wait time tCTS (100 µs). Refer to "8. Timing" on page 22.
5. If ERR (error) is set, check the specific error code reported in RESP1.
6. If the error code is 0x18, the tune or seek command is in progress and should be aborted by setting
CANCEL = 1 and sending the FM_RSQ_STATUS command (or AM_RSQ_STATUS), waiting 5 ms for the
seek operation to abort and set the STC bit, acknowledge and clear the STC bit by setting STCACK = 1
and sending the FM_RSQ_STATUS command (or AM_RSQ_STATUS) again, and then waiting time tCTS
(100 µs). Refer to "8. Timing" on page 22.
7. If the error code is 0x30 or 0x31 the boot operation failed and the powerup operation should be attempted.
Refer to "5. Powerup and Powerdown" on page 4. If the error code is 0x20 contact Silicon Labs. All other
errors are recoverable. and the error code reported in RESP1 will clear when the next valid command is
