Si4831/35-B30 (SSOP)
Description
The Si4831/35-B30 is the 2nd generation mechanical-tuned digital CMOS
AM/FM/SW radio receiver IC that integrates the complete receiver function from
antenna input to audio output. Like other successful audio products from Silicon
Labs, Si4831/35-B30 offers unmatched integration and PCB space savings with
minimum external components and a small board area. The Si4831/35-B30
requires a simple application circuit and removes any requirements for manually
tuning components during the manufacturing process. The Si4831/35-B30 is a
very simple product to design, manufacture, and support across multiple product
lines. The receiver has very low power consumption, runs off two AAA batteries,
and delivers the performance benefits of digital tuning to the analog radio market.

Figure 2. Si4831/35-B30 Functional Block Diagram
4.1. Overview
4.2. FM Receiver
The Si4831/35-B30 is the industry's most advanced
fully integrated, mechanical-tuned 100% CMOS
AM/FM/SW radio receiver IC. Offering unmatched
integration and PCB space savings, the Si4831/35-B30
requires minimum external components and a small
board area. The Si4831/35-B30 AM/FM/SW radio
provides space savings and low power consumption
while delivering the high performance and design
simplicity desired for all AM/FM/SW solutions.
The Si4831/35-B30 integrates a low noise amplifier
(LNA) supporting the worldwide FM broadcast band (64
to 109 MHz).
Leveraging Silicon Laboratories' proven and patented
digital low intermediate frequency (low-IF) receiver
architecture, the Si4831/35-B30 delivers superior RF
performance and interference rejection in AM, FM, and
SW bands. The high integration and complete system
production test simplifies design-in, increases system
quality, and improves manufacturability.
10
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 are used in various regions. The deemphasis time constant can be chosen to be 50 or
75 µs. Refer to "AN555: Si483x-B Antenna, Schematic,
Layout, and Design Guidelines."
The Si4831/35-B30 also has advanced stereo blending
that employs adaptive noise suppression. As a signal
quality degrades, the Si4831/35-B30 gradually
combines the stereo left and right audio channels to a
mono audio signal to maintain optimum sound fidelity
under varying reception conditions. The Si4831/35-B30
can drive a stereo light with the stereo/mono information
so that the user can easily discern the signal quality.
Rev. 1.0
Si4831/35-B30
The stereo light up criteria is defined using both RSSI
and the Left and Right separation levels as these two
specifications are the primary factors for stereo
listening. The criteria can be set between two
conditions: the Left and Right channels are separated
by more than 6 dB with RSSI at >20 dB or Left and
Right channels are separated by more than 12 dB with
RSSI at >28 dB. The selection can be set up using
different values of the external resister. Refer to
"AN555: Si483x-B Antenna, Schematic, Layout, and
Design Guidelines."
4.3. AM Receiver
The highly integrated Si4831/35-B30 supports
worldwide AM band reception from 504 to 1750 kHz
with five sub-bands using a digital low-IF architecture
with a minimum number of external components and no
manual alignment required. This patented architecture
allows for high-precision filtering, offering excellent
selectivity and SNR with minimum variation across the
AM band. Similar to the FM receiver, the Si4831/35-B30
optimizes sensitivity and rejection of strong interferers,
allowing better reception of weak stations.
To offer maximum flexibility, the receiver supports a
wide range of ferrite loop sticks from 180–450 µH. An
air loop antenna is supported by using a transformer to
increase the effective inductance from the air loop.
Using a 1:5 turn ratio inductor, the inductance is
increased by 25 times and easily supports all typical AM
air loop antennas, which generally vary between 10 and
20 µH.
4.4. SW Receiver
4.5. Frequency Tuning
A valid channel can be found by tuning the
potentiometer that is connected to the TUNE1 and
TUNE2 pin of the Si4831/35-B30 chip.
To offer easy tuning, the Si4831/35-B30 also supports a
station LED light. It will light up the LED if the RF signal
quality passes the LED sensitivity threshold when tuned
to a valid station.
4.6. Band Select
The Si4831/35-B30 supports worldwide AM band with
five sub-bands, US/Europe/Japan/China FM band with
five sub-bands, and SW band with 16 sub-bands. For
details on band selection, refer to "AN555: Si483x-B
Antenna, Schematic, Layout, and Design Guidelines."
4.7. Bass and Treble
The Si4831/35-B30 further supports bass and treble
tone control for superior sound quality. Pins 16 and 17
can be configured for tone control, allowing customers
to use either two buttons or one slide-switch to adjust
the bass and treble. For further configuration details,
refer to "AN555: Si483x-B Antenna, Schematic, Layout,
and Design Guidelines."
4.8. Volume Control
The Si4831/35-B30 not only allows customers to use
the traditional PVR wheel volume control through an
external speaker amplifier, it also supports direct digital
volume control through pins 16 and pin 17 by using
volume up and down buttons. Refer to "AN555: Si483xB Antenna, Schematic, Layout, and Design Guidelines."
The Si4835 supports 16 short wave (SW) band
receptions from 5.60 to 22.0 MHz. Si4835 supports
extensive short wave features such as minimal discrete
components and no factory adjustments. The Si4835
supports using the FM antenna to capture short wave
signals.

General:
1. All dimensions shown are in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise noted.
2. This land pattern design is based on the IPC-7351 guidelines.
Solder Mask Design:
3. All metal 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.
Stencil Design:
4. A stainless steel, laser-cut, and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls
should be used to assure good solder paste release.
5. The stencil thickness should be 0.125 mm (5 mils).
6. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1 for all perimeter pads.
Card Assembly:
7. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.
8. The recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020
specification for Small Body Components.
