Notes:
1. When VIO = 0 V, SCLK and SDIO are low impedance.
2. When selecting 2-wire mode, the user must ensure that SCLK is high during the rising edge of RST, and stays high
until after the 1st start condition.
3. When selecting 2-wire Mode, the user must ensure that a 2-wire start condition (falling edge of SDIO while SCLK is
high) does not occur within 300 ns before the rising edge of RST.
4. As a 2-wire transmitter, the Si4708/09-C delays SDIO by a minimum of 300 ns from the VIH threshold of SCLK to
comply with the 0 ns tHD:DAT specification.
5. The maximum tHD:DAT has only to be met when fSCL = 400 kHz. At frequencies below 400 kHz, tHD:DAT may be violated
so long as all other timing parameters are met.

Figure 6. Si4708/09 FM Receiver Block Diagram
4.1. Overview
The Si4708/09 extends Silicon Laboratories Si4700 FM
tuner family, and further increases the ease and
attractiveness of adding FM radio reception to mobile
devices through small size and board area, minimum
component count, flexible programmability, and
superior, proven performance. Si4708/09 software is
backwards compatible to existing Si4700/01/02/03 FM
Tuner designs and leverages Silicon Laboratories'
highly successful and patented Si4700/01/02/03 FM
tuner. The Si4708/09 benefits from proven digital
integration and 100% CMOS process technology,
resulting in a completely integrated solution. It is the
industry's smallest footprint FM tuner IC requiring only
6.25 mm2 board space and one external bypass
capacitor.
The device offers significant programmability, catering
to the subjective nature of FM listeners’ audio
preferences and variable FM broadcast environments
worldwide.
RDS status, data, and block errors. Si4709 RDS
software is backwards compatible to the proven
Si4701/03, adopted by leading cell-phone and MP3
manufacturers world-wide.
The Si4708/09 is based on the superior, proven
performance of Silicon Laboratories' Si4700/01/02/03
architecture offering unmatched interference rejection
and leading sensitivity. The device uses the same
programming interface as the Si4700/01/02/03 and
supports multiple bus modes. Power management is
simplified with an integrated regulator allowing direct
connection to a 2.7 to 5.5 V battery for VD and 2.7 to 5.5
V battery for VA.
The Si4708/09 device’s high level of integration and
complete FM system production testing increases
quality to manufacturers, improves device yields, and
simplifies device manufacturing and final testing.
*Note: RDS/RBDS is referred to as RDS throughout the
remainder of this document.
The Si4709 incorporates a digital processor for the
European Radio Data System (RDS) and the US Radio
Broadcast Data System (RBDS) including all required
symbol decoding, block synchronization, error
detection, and error correction functions.
RDS/RDBS* enables data such as station identification
and song name to be displayed to the user. The Si4709
offers a detailed RDS view and a standard view,
allowing adopters to selectively choose granularity of

4.2. FM Receiver
4.4. RDS/RBDS Processor and
Functionality
The Si4708/09 architecture and antenna design
increases system performance. To ensure proper
performance and operation, designers should refer to
the guidelines in "AN350: Si4708/09 Antenna,
Schematic,
Layout,
and
Design
Guidelines".
Conformance to these guidelines will help to ensure
excellent performance in weak signal, noisy, and
crowded signal environments where many strong
channels are present.
The Si4709 implements an RDS/RBDS processor for
symbol decoding, block synchronization, error
detection, and error correction. RDS functionality is
enabled by setting the RDS bit. The device offers two
RDS modes, a standard mode and a verbose mode.
The primary difference is increased visibility to RDS
block-error levels and synchronization status with
verbose mode.
The Si4708/09’s patented digital low-IF architecture
reduces external components and eliminates the need
for factory adjustments. The receive (RX) section
integrates a low noise amplifier (LNA) supporting the
worldwide FM broadcast band (76 to 108 MHz). An
automatic gain control (AGC) circuit controls the gain of
the LNA to optimize sensitivity and rejection of strong
interferers.
Setting the RDS mode (RDSM) bit low places the
device in standard RDS mode (default). The device will
set the RDS ready (RDSR) bit for a minimum of 40 ms
when a valid RDS group has been received. Setting the
RDS interrupt enable (RDSIEN) bit and GPO[1:0] = 01
will configure GPO to pulse low for a minimum of 5 ms
when a valid RDS group has been received. If an invalid
group is received, RDSR will not be set and GPO will
not pulse low. In standard mode RDS synchronization
(RDSS) and block error rate A, B, C and D (BLERA,
BLERB, BLERC, and BLERD) are unused and will read
0. This mode is backward compatible with earlier
firmware revisions.
An image-reject mixer downconverts the RF signal to
low-IF. The quadrature mixer output is amplified,
filtered,
and
digitized
with
high
resolution
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). This advanced
architecture achieves superior performance by using
digital signal processing (DSP) to perform channel
selection, FM demodulation, and stereo audio
processing
compared
to
traditional
analog
architectures.
4.3. General Purpose Output
The GPO pin can serve multiple functions. After
powerup of the device, the GPO pin can be used as a
general purpose input/output, and can be used as an
interrupt request pin for the seek/tune or RDS ready
functions. See register 04h, bits [3:2] in Section “6.
Register Descriptions” for information on GPO control. It
is recommended that the GPO pin not be used as an
interrupt request output until the powerup time has
completed (see Section “4.9. Reset, Powerup, and
Powerdown”). The GPO pin is powered from the VIO
supply; therefore, general purpose input/output
functionality is available regardless of the state of the VA
and VD supplies, or the ENABLE and DISABLE bits.
14
Setting the RDS mode bit high places the device in RDS
verbose mode. The device sets RDSS high when
synchronized and low when synchronization is lost. If
the device is synchronized, RDS ready (RDSR) will be
set for a minimum of 40 ms when a RDS group has
been received. Setting the RDS interrupt enable
(RDSIEN) bit and GPO[1:0] = 01 will configure GPO to
pulse low for a minimum of 5 ms if the device is
synchronized and an RDS group has been received.
BLERA, BLERB, BLERC and BLERD provide
block-error levels for the RDS group. The number of bit
errors in each block within the group is encoded as
follows: 00 = no errors, 01 = one to two errors, 10 =
three to five errors, 11 = six or more errors. Six or more
errors in a block indicate the block is uncorrectable and
should not be used.
Rev. 1.2

4.5. Stereo Audio Processing
Modulation Level
The output of the FM demodulator is a stereo
multiplexed (MPX) signal. The MPX standard was
developed in 1961 and is used worldwide. Today's MPX
signal format consists of left + right (L+R) audio, left –
right (L–R) audio, a 19 kHz pilot tone, and RDS/RBDS
data as shown in Figure 7.
Mono Audio
Left + Right
Stereo
Pilot
Stereo Audio
Left - Right
RDS/
RBDS
High-fidelity stereo digital-to-analog converters (DACs)
drive analog audio signals onto the LOUT and ROUT
pins. The audio output may be muted with the DMUTE
bit. Volume can be adjusted digitally with the
VOLUME[3:0] bits. The volume dynamic range can be
set to either –28 dBFS (default) or –58 dBFS by setting
VOLEXT=1.
The soft mute feature is available to attenuate the audio
outputs and minimize audible noise in very weak signal
conditions. The soft mute attack and decay rate can be
adjusted with the SMUTER[1:0] bits where 00 is the
fastest setting. The soft mute attenuation level can be
adjusted with the SMUTEA[1:0] bits where 00 is the
most attenuated. The soft mute disable (DSMUTE) bit
may be set high to disable this feature.

Frequency (kHz)
Figure 7. MPX Signal Spectrum
The
Si4708/09's
integrated
stereo
decoder
automatically decodes the MPX signal. The 0 to 15 kHz
(L+R) signal is the mono output of the FM tuner. Stereo
is generated from the (L+R), (L-R), and a 19 kHz pilot
tone. The pilot tone is used as a reference to recover
the (L-R) signal. Separate left and right channels are
obtained by adding and subtracting the (L+R) and (L-R)
signals, respectively. The Si4709 uses frequency
information from the 19 kHz stereo pilot to recover the
57 kHz RDS/RBDS signal.
Adaptive noise suppression is employed to gradually
combine the stereo left and right audio channels to a
mono (L+R) audio signal as the signal quality degrades
to maintain optimum sound fidelity under varying
reception conditions. The signal level range over which
the stereo to mono blending occurs can be adjusted by
setting the BLNDADJ[1:0] register. Stereo/mono status
can be monitored with the ST register bit and mono
operation can be forced with the MONO register bit.
Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis is a technique used by
FM broadcasters to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of
FM receivers by reducing the effects of high frequency
interference and noise. When the FM signal is
transmitted, a pre-emphasis filter is applied to
accentuate the high audio frequencies. All FM receivers
incorporate a de-emphasis filter which attenuates high
frequencies to restore a flat frequency response. Two
time constants, 50 or 75 µs, are used in various regions.
The de-emphasis time constant is programmable with
the DE bit.
The Si4708/09 uses Silicon Laboratories’ patented and
proven frequency synthesizer technology including a
completely integrated VCO. The frequency synthesizer
generates the quadrature local oscillator signal used to
downconvert the RF input to a low intermediate
frequency. The VCO frequency is locked to the
reference clock and adjusted with an automatic
frequency control (AFC) servo loop during reception.
The tuning frequency is defined as:
Freq (MHz) = Spacing (kHz)  Channel + Bottom of Band (MHz)
Channel spacing of 50, 100 or 200 KHz is selected with
bits SPACE[1:0]. The channel is selected with bits
CHAN[9:0]. The bottom of the band is set to 76 MHz or
87.5 MHz with the bits BAND[1:0]. The tuning operation
begins by setting the TUNE bit. After tuning completes,
the seek/tune complete (STC) bit will be set and the
RSSI level is available by reading bits RSSI[7:0]. The
TUNE bit must be set low after the STC bit is set high in
order to complete the tune operation and clear the STC
bit.
Seek tuning searches up or down for a channel with an
RSSI greater than or equal to the seek threshold set
with the SEEKTH[7:0] bits. In addition, an optional SNR
and/or impulse noise detector may be used to qualify
valid stations. The SKSNR[3:0] bits set the SNR
threshold required. The SKCNT[3:0] bits set the impulse
noise threshold. Using the extra seek qualifiers can
reduce false stops and, in combination with lowering the
RSSI seek threshold, increase the number of found
stations. The SNR and impulse noise detectors are
disabled by default.
Two seek modes are available. When the seek mode
(SKMODE) bit is low and a seek is initiated, the device
seeks through the band, wraps from one band edge to
the other, and continues seeking. If the seek operation
Rev. 1.2
15
Si4708/09-C
was unable to find a channel, the seek failure/band limit
(SF/BL) bit will be set high and the device will return to
the channel selected before the seek operation began.
When the SKMODE bit is high and a seek is initiated,
the device seeks through the band until the band limit is
reached and the SF/BL bit will be set high. A seek
operation is initiated by setting the SEEK and SEEKUP
bits. After the seek operation completes, the STC bit will
be set, and the RSSI level and tuned channel are
available by reading bits RSSI[7:0] and bits
READCHAN[9:0].
During
a
seek
operation
READCHAN[9:0] is also updated and may be read to
determine seek progress. The STC bit will be set after
the seek operation completes. The channel is valid if the
seek operation completes and the SF/BL bit is set low.
At other times, such as before a seek operation or after
a seek completes and the SF/BL bit is set high, the
channel is valid if the AFC Rail (AFCRL) bit is set low
and the value of RSSI[7:0] is greater than or equal to
SEEKTH[7:0]. Note that if the AFCRL bit is set, the
audio output is muted as in the softmute case discussed
in Section “4.5. Stereo Audio Processing”. The SEEK bit
must be set low after the STC bit is set high in order to
complete the seek operation and clear the STC and
SF/BL bits. The seek operation may be aborted by
setting the SEEK bit low at any time.
The device can be configured to generate an interrupt
on GPO when a tune or seek operation completes.
Setting the seek/tune complete (STCIEN) bit and
GPO[1:0] = 01 will configure GPO for a 5 ms low
interrupt when the STC bit is set by the device.
For additional recommendations on optimizing the seek
function, consult "AN349: Si4708/09 Programming
Guide."
4.7. Reference Clock
4.8. Control Interface
Two-wire slave-transceiver and three-wire interfaces
are provided for the controller IC to read and write the
control registers. Refer to “4.9. Reset, Powerup, and
Powerdown” for a description of bus mode selection.
Registers may be written and read when the VIO supply
is applied regardless of the state of the VD or VA
supplies. RCLK is not required for proper register
operation.
4.8.1. 3-Wire Control Interface
For three-wire operation, a transfer begins when the
SEN pin is sampled low by the device on a rising SCLK
edge. The control word is latched internally on rising
SCLK edges and is nine bits in length, comprised of a
four bit chip address A7:A4 = 0110b, a read/write bit
(write = 0 and read = 1), and a four bit register address,
A3:A0. The ordering of the control word is A7:A5, R/W,
A4:A0. Refer to Section 5. "Register Summary" on page
19 for a list of all registers and their addresses.
For write operations, the serial control word is followed
by a 16-bit data word and is latched internally on rising
SCLK edges.
For read operations, a bus turn-around of half a cycle is
followed by a 16-bit data word shifted out on rising
SCLK edges and is clocked into the system controller
on falling SCLK edges. The transfer ends on the rising
SCLK edge after SEN is set high. Note that 26 SCLK
cycles are required for a transfer, however, SCLK may
run continuously.
For details on timing specifications and diagrams, refer
to Table 5, “3-Wire Control Interface Characteristics,” on
page 7, Figure 2, “3-Wire Control Interface Write Timing
Parameters,” on page 7, and Figure 3, “3-Wire Control
Interface Read Timing Parameters,” on page 7.
The Si4708/09-C accepts a 32.768 kHz reference clock
to the RCLK pin. The reference clock is required
whenever the ENABLE bit is set high. Refer to Table 3,
“DC Characteristics,” on page 5 for input switching
voltage

Receiver
Characteristics," on page 10 for frequency tolerance

4.8.2. 2-Wire Control Interface
4.9. Reset, Powerup, and Powerdown
For two-wire operation, the SCLK and SDIO pins
function in open-drain mode (pull-down only) and must
be pulled up by an external device. A transfer begins
with the START condition (falling edge of SDIO while
SCLK is high). The control word is latched internally on
rising SCLK edges and is eight bits in length, comprised
of a seven bit device address equal to 0010000b and a
read/write bit (write = 0 and read = 1).
Driving the RST pin low will disable the Si4708/09 and
its control bus interface, and reset the registers to their
default settings. Driving the RST pin high will bring the
device out of reset. As the part is brought out of reset,
the SEN pin is used to select between 2-wire and 3-wire
control interface operation.
The device acknowledges the address by driving SDIO
low after the next falling SCLK edge, for 1 cycle. For
write operations, the device acknowledge is followed by
an eight bit data word latched internally on rising edges
of SCLK. The device acknowledges each byte of data
written by driving SDIO low after the next falling SCLK
edge, for 1 cycle. An internal address counter
automatically increments to allow continuous data byte
writes, starting with the upper byte of register 02h,
followed by the lower byte of register 02h, and onward
until the lower byte of the last register is reached. The
internal address counter then automatically wraps
around to the upper byte of register 00h and proceeds
from there until continuous writes end. Data transfer
ends with the STOP condition (rising edge of SDIO
while SCLK is high). After every STOP condition, the
internal address counter is reset.
For read operations, the device acknowledge is
followed by an eight bit data word shifted out on falling
SCLK edges. An internal address counter automatically
increments to allow continuous data byte reads, starting
with the upper byte of register 0Ah, followed by the
lower byte of register 0Ah, and onward until the lower
byte of the last register is reached. The internal address
counter then automatically wraps around to the upper
byte of register 00h and proceeds from there until
continuous reads cease. After each byte of data is read,
the controller IC must drive an acknowledge (SDIO = 0)
if an additional byte of data will be requested. Data
transfer ends with the STOP condition. After every
STOP condition, the internal address counter is reset.

Note: All parameters applied on rising edge of RST.
The bus mode selection method requires the use of the
SEN pin. To select 2-wire operation, the SEN pin must
be sampled high by the device on the rising edge of
RST. To select 3-wire operation, the SEN pin must be
sampled low by the device on the rising edge of RST.
When proper voltages are applied to the Si4708/09, the
ENABLE and DISABLE bits in register 02h can be used
to select between powerup and powerdown modes.
When voltage is first applied to the device, ENABLE =
DISABLE = 0. Setting ENABLE = 1 and DISABLE = 0
puts the device in powerup mode. To power down the
device, disable RDS (Si4709 only), set Reg4(5:4),
Reg4(3:2), and Reg4(1:0) to 0b10. then write 1 to the
ENABLE and DISABLE bits. After being written to 1,
both bits will get cleared as part of the internal device
powerdown sequence. To put the device back into
powerup mode, set ENABLE = 1 and DISABLE = 0 as
described above. The ENABLE bit should never be
written to a 0.

4.10. Audio Output Summation
The audio outputs LOUT and ROUT may be
capacitively summed with another device. Setting the
audio high-Z enable (AHIZEN) bit maintains a dc bias of
0.5 x VIO on the LOUT and ROUT pins to prevent the
ESD diodes from clamping to the VIO or GND rail in
response to the output swing of the other device. The
bias point is set with a 370 k resistor to VIO and GND.
Register 07h containing the AHIZEN bit must not be
written during the powerup sequence and only takes
effect when in powerdown and VIO is supplied. In
powerup the LOUT and ROUT pins are set to the
common mode voltage specified in Table 7, “FM
Receiver Characteristics1,2,” on page 10, regardless of
the state of AHIZEN. Bits 13:0 of register 07h must be
preserved as 0x0100 while in powerdown and as
0x3C04 while in powerup.
4.11. Initialization Sequence
1. Note that VIO is still supplied in this scenario. If VIO is
not supplied, refer to device initialization procedure
above.
2. (Optional) Set the AHIZEN bit low to disable the dc
bias of 0.5 x VIO volts at the LOUT and ROUT pins,
but preserve the states of the other bits in Register

Table 7 on page 10, regardless of the state of
AHIZEN.
3. Supply VA and VD.
4. Provide RCLK. Steps 3 and 4 may be reversed when

Seek.
0 = Disable (default).

Notes:
1. Seek begins at the current channel, and goes in the direction specified with the SEEKUP
bit. Seek operation stops when a channel is qualified as valid according to the seek
parameters, the entire band has been searched (SKMODE = 0), or the upper or lower
band limit has been reached (SKMODE = 1).
2. The STC bit is set high when the seek operation completes and/or the SF/BL bit is set
high if the seek operation was unable to find a channel qualified as valid according to the
seek parameters. The STC and SF/BL bits must be set low by setting the SEEK bit low
before the next seek or tune may begin.
3. Seek performance for 50 kHz channel spacing varies according to RCLK tolerance.
Silicon Laboratories recommends ±50 ppm RCLK crystal tolerance for 50 kHz seek
performance.
4. A seek operation may be aborted by setting SEEK = 0.

Notes: General
1. All dimensions shown are in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise noted.
2. Dimensioning and Tolerancing is per the ANSI Y14.5M-1994 specification.
3. This Land Pattern Design is based on IPC-SM-782 guidelines.
4. All dimensions shown are at Maximum Material Condition (MMC). Least Material Condition (LMC) is calculated based
on a Fabrication Allowance of 0.05 mm.
Notes: Solder Mask Design
1. All pads are to be non-solder mask defined (NSMD). Clearance between the solder mask and the metal pad is to be
60 µm minimum, all the way around the pad.
Notes: Stencil Design
1. A stainless steel, laser-cut and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls should be used to assure good solder
paste release.
2. The stencil thickness should be 0.125 mm (5 mils).
3. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1 for the perimeter pads.
4. A 1.18x1.18 mm square aperture should be used for the center pad. This provides approximately 70%
solder paste coverage on the pad, which is optimum to assure correct component stand-off.
Notes: Card Assembly
1. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.
2. The recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020 specification for Small Body Components.
