Si47 XX P ROGRAMMING G U I D E
1. Introduction
This document provides an overview of the programming requirements for the Si4704/05/06/07/1x/2x/3x/4x/84/85
FM transmitter/AM/FM/SW/LW/WB receiver. 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.
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, causing the device to execute the given command.
The device will, in turn, provide a response depending on the type of command that was sent. Section "4.
Commands and Responses" on page 6 and section "5. Commands and Properties" on page 7 describe the
procedures for using commands and responses and provide complete lists of commands, properties, and
responses.
The device has a slave control interface that allows the system controller to send commands to and receive
responses from the device using one of three serial protocols (or bus modes): 2-wire mode (I2C and SMBUS
compatible), 3-wire mode, or SPI mode.
Section "6. Control Interface" on page 206 describes the control interface in detail.
Section "7. Powerup" on page 214 describes options for the sequencing of VDD and VIO power supplies, selection
of the desired bus mode, provision of the reference clock, RCLK, and sending of the POWER_UP command.
Section "8. Powerdown" on page 221 describes sending the POWER_DOWN command and removing VDD and
VIO power supplies as necessary.
Section "9. Digital Audio Interface" on page 222 describes the digital audio format supported and how to operate
the device in digital mode.
Section "10. Timing" on page 225 describes the CTS (Clear to Send) timing indicating when the command has
been accepted and in most cases completed execution, and the STC (Seek/Tune Complete) timing indicating
when the Seek/Tune commands have completed execution.
Section "11. FM Transmitter" on page 231 describes the audio dynamic range control, limiter, pre-emphasis,
recommendations for maximizing audio volume for the FM transmitter.
Section "12. Programming Examples" on page 235 provides flowcharts and step-by-step procedures for
programming the device.

4. Commands and Responses
Commands control actions, such as power up, power down, or tune to a frequency, and are one byte in size.
Arguments are specific to a given command and are used to modify the command. For example, after the
TX_TUNE_FREQ command, arguments are required to set the tune frequency. Arguments are one byte in size,
and each command may require up to seven arguments. Responses provide the system controller status
information and are returned after a command and its associated arguments are issued. All commands return a
one byte status indicating interrupt state and clear-to-send the next command. Commands may return up to 15
additional response bytes. A complete list of commands is available in “5. Commands and Properties”.
Table 2 shows an example of tuning to a frequency using the TX_TUNE_FREQ command. This command requires
that a command and three arguments be sent and returns one status byte. The table is broken into three columns.
The first column lists the action taking place: command (CMD), argument (ARG), status (STATUS), or response
(RESP). The second column lists the data byte or bytes in hexadecimal that are being sent or received. An arrow
preceding the data indicates data being sent from the device to the system controller. The third column describes
the action.

Properties are special command arguments used to modify the default device operation and are generally
configured immediately after power-up. Examples of properties are TX _PREEMPHASIS and REFCLK_FREQ. A
complete list of properties is available in Section “5. Commands and Properties”.
Table 3 shows an example of setting the REFCLK frequency using the REFCLK_FREQ property by sending the
SET_PROPERTY command and five argument bytes. ARG1 of the SET_PROPERTY command is always 0x00.
ARG2 and ARG3 are used to select the property number, PROP (0x0201 in this example), and ARG4 and ARG5
are used to set the property value, PROPD (0x8000 or 32768 Hz in the example).

5.1.1. Commands and Properties for the FM/RDS Transmitter
Command 0x01. POWER_UP
Initiates the boot process to move the device from powerdown to powerup mode. The boot can occur from internal
device memory or a system controller downloaded patch. To confirm that the patch is compatible with the internal
device library revision, the library revision should be confirmed by issuing the POWER_UP command with
Function = 15 (query library ID). The device will return the response, including the library revision, and then moves
into powerdown mode. The device can then be placed in powerup mode by issuing the POWER_UP command
with Function = 2 (transmit) and the patch may be applied. Only the STATUS byte will be returned in the response
stream in transmit mode. The POWER_UP command configures the state of DIN (pin 13), DFS (pin 14), and RIN
(pin 15) and LIN (pin 16) for analog or digital audio modes and GPO2/INT (pin 18) for interrupt operation. The
command configures GPO2/INT interrupts (GPO2OEN) and CTS interrupts (CTSIEN). If both are enabled,
GPO2/INT is driven high during normal operation and low for a minimum of 1 µs during the interrupt. The CTSIEN
bit is duplicated in the GPO_IEN property. The command is complete when the CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is
set.
Note: To change function (e.g., FM TX to FM RX), issue the POWER_DOWN command to stop the current function; then,
issue POWER_UP to start the new function.
Note: Delay at least 500 ms between powerup command and first tune command to wait for the oscillator to stabilize if
XOSCEN is set and crystal is used as the RCLK.

Command 0x11. POWER_DOWN
Moves the device from powerup to powerdown mode. 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. 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 does not respond. The device will only respond when a POWER_UP
command is written. GPO pins are powered down and not active during this state. For optimal power down
current, GPO2 must be either internally driven low through GPIO_CTL command or externally driven low.
Note: In FMTX component 1.0 and 2.0, a reset is required when the system controller writes a command other than POWER_UP when in powerdown mode.
Note: The following describes the state of all the pins when in powerdown mode:
GPIO1, GPIO2, and GPIO3 = 0

Command 0x34. TX_ASQ_STATUS
Returns status information about the audio signal quality and current FM transmit frequency. This command can be
used to check if the input audio stream is below a low threshold as reported by the IALL bit, or above a high
threshold as reported by the IALH bit. The thresholds can be configured to detect a silence condition or an activity
condition which can then be used by the host to take an appropriate action such as turning off the carrier in the
case of prolonged silence. The thresholds are set using the TX_ASQ_LEVEL_LOW and TX_ASQ_LEVEL_HIGH
properties. The audio must be above or below the threshold for greater than the amount of time specified in the
TX_ASQ_DURATION_LOW and TX_ASQ_DURATION_HIGH properties for the status to be detected. Additionally
the command can be used to determine if an overmodulation condition has occurred or the limiter has engaged, as
reported by the OVERMOD bit, in which case the host could reduce the audio level to the part. If any of the
OVERMOD, IALH, or IALL bits are set, the ASQINT bit will also be set. The ASQINT bit can be routed to a
hardware interrupt via the GPO_IEN property.
Clearing the IALH or IALL interrupts will result in the TX_ASQ_DURATION_LOW or TX_ASQ_DURATION_HIGH
counters being rearmed, respectively, to start another detection interval measurement. The command clears the
ASQINT interrupt bit and OVERMOD, IALH, and IALL bits when the INTACK bit of ARG1 is set. 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.
Note that the TX_ASQ_DURATION_LOW and TX_ASQ_DURATION_HIGH counters start and the
TX_ASQ_STATUS command will only return valid data after a call to TX_TUNE_FREQ, TX_TUNE_POWER, or
TX_TUNE_MEASURE.

Command 0x35. TX_RDS_BUFF
Loads or clears the RDS group buffer FIFO or circular buffer and returns the FIFO status. The buffer can be
allocated between the circular buffer and FIFO with the TX_RDS_FIFO_SIZE property. A common use case for the
circular buffer is to broadcast group 2A radio text, and a common use case for the FIFO is to broadcast group 4A
real time clock. The command clears the INTACK interrupt bit when the INTACK bit of ARG1 is set. 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.
Note: TX_RDS_BUFF is supported in FMTX component 2.0 or later.

Command 0x80. GPIO_CTL
Enables output for GPO1, 2, and 3. GPO1, 2, and 3 can be configured for output (Hi-Z or active drive) by setting
the GPO1OEN, GPO2OEN, and GPO3OEN bit. The state (high or low) of GPO1, 2, and 3 is set with the
GPIO_SET command. To avoid excessive current consumption due to oscillation, GPO pins should not be left in a
high impedance state. 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. The default is all GPO pins set for high impedance.
Notes:
1. GPIO_CTL is fully supported in FMTX component 3.0 or later. Only bit GPO3OEN is supported in FMTX comp 2.0.
2. The use of GPO2 as an interrupt pin and/or the use of GPO3 as DCLK digital clock input will override this GPIO_CTL
function for GPO2 and/or GPO3 respectively.

Property 0x0001. GPO_IEN
Configures the sources for the GPO2/INT interrupt pin. Valid sources are the lower 8 bits of the STATUS byte,
including CTS, ERR, RDSINT, ASQINT, and STCINT bits. The corresponding bit is set before the interrupt occurs.
The CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to send the next command. The CTS interrupt enable
(CTSIEN) can be set with this property and the POWER_UP command. The state of the CTSIEN bit set during the
POWER_UP command can be read by reading the this property and modified by writing this property. This
property may only be set or read when in powerup mode. The default is no interrupts enabled.

example, an RCLK of 13 MHz would require a prescaler value of 400 to divide it to 32500 Hz REFCLK. The
reference clock frequency property would then need to be set to 32500 Hz. RCLK frequencies between 31130 Hz
and 40 MHz are supported, however, there are gaps in frequency coverage for prescaler values ranging from 1 to

TXPDEV[15:0]
Transmit Pilot Frequency Deviation.
Pilot tone frequency deviation is programmable from 0 Hz to 90 kHz in 10 Hz units.
Default is 675 (6.75 kHz). Note that the total deviation of the audio, pilot, and RDS
must be less than 75 kHz to meet regulatory requirements.
Property 0x2103. TX_RDS_DEVIATION
Sets the RDS deviation from 0 to 7.5 kHz in 10 Hz units. The sum of the audio deviation, pilot deviation and RDS
deviation should not exceed regulatory requirements, typically 75 kHz. 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 when in powerup mode. The
default is 200, or 2 kHz.

Property 0x2104. TX_LINE_INPUT_LEVEL
Sets the input resistance and maximum audio input level for the LIN/RIN pins. An application providing a 150 mVPK
input to the device on RIN/LIN would set Line Attenuation = 00, resulting in a maximum permissible input level of
190 mVPK on LIN/RIN and an input resistance of 396 k. The Line Level would be set to 150 mV to correspond to
the TX audio deviation level set by the TX_AUDIO_DEVIATION property. An application providing a 1 VPK input to
the device on RIN/LIN would set Line Attenuation = 11, resulting in a maximum permissible input level of 636 mVPK
on LIN/RIN and an input resistance of 60 k. An external series resistor on LIN and RIN inputs of 40 k would
create a resistive voltage divider that would keep the maximum line level on RIN/LIN below 636 mVPK. The Line
Level would be set to 636 mVPK to correspond to the TX audio deviation level set by the TX_AUDIO_DEVIATION
property. 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 when in powerup mode. The default input level and peak line level is 636 mVPK with an input
impedance of 60 k.

Property 0x2C07. TX_RDS_FIFO_SIZE
Sets the RDS FIFO size in number of blocks. Note that the value written must be one larger than the desired FIFO
size. The number of blocks allocated will reduce the size of the Circular RDS Group Buffer by the same amount.
For instance, if RDSFIFOSZ = 20, then the RDS Circular Buffer will be reduced by 20 blocks. The minimum
number of blocks which should be allocated is 4. This provides enough room for a single group of any type (xA or
xB) to be transmitted. Groups xA require 3 Blocks, Groups xB require 2 Blocks as block C' is always the same as
the RDS PI code. Before setting this value, determine the available blocks through the TX_RDS_FIFO command,
as the buffer size may vary between versions or part numbers. The guaranteed minimum FIFO size, however, is 53
blocks. The RDS FIFO and the RDS Circular Buffer should be emptied with the TX_RDS_FIFO command prior to
changing the size of the FIFO. 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 when in powerup mode.
Note: TX_RDS_FIFO_SIZE is supported in FMTX component 2.0 or later.
Available in: Si4711/13/21
Default: 0x0000
Units: blocks
Step: 3 blocks
Range: 0, 4, 7, 10–54

5.2.1. FM/RDS Receiver Commands
Command 0x01. POWER_UP
Initiates the boot process to move the device from powerdown to powerup mode. The boot can occur from internal
device memory or a system controller downloaded patch. To confirm that the patch is compatible with the internal
device library revision, the library revision should be confirmed by issuing the POWER_UP command with
FUNC = 15 (query library ID). The device returns the response, including the library revision, and then moves into
powerdown mode. The device can then be placed in powerup mode by issuing the POWER_UP command with
FUNC = 0 (FM Receive) and the patch may be applied (See Section "7.2. Powerup from a Component Patch" on
page 216).
The POWER_UP command configures the state of ROUT (pin 13, Si474x pin 15) and LOUT (pin 14, Si474x pin
16) for analog audio mode and GPO2/INT (pin 18, Si474x pin 20) for interrupt operation. For the
Si4705/21/31/35/37/39/84/85-B20, the POWER_UP command also configures the state of GPO3/DCLK (pin 17,
Si474x pin 19), DFS (pin 16, Si474x pin 18), and DOUT (pin 15, Si474x pin 17) for digital audio mode. The
command configures GPO2/INT interrupts (GPO2OEN) and CTS interrupts (CTSIEN). If both are enabled,
GPO2/INT is driven high during normal operation and low for a minimum of 1 µs during the interrupt. The CTSIEN
bit is duplicated in the GPO_IEN property. The command is complete when the CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is
set.
Note: To change function (e.g. FM RX to AM RX or FM RX to FM TX), issue POWER_DOWN command to stop current function; then, issue POWER_UP to start new function.
Note: Delay at least 500 ms between powerup command and first tune command to wait for the oscillator to stabilize if
XOSCEN is set and crystal is used as the RCLK.

Command 0x11. POWER_DOWN
Moves the device from powerup to powerdown mode. 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. 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 does not respond. The device will only respond when a POWER_UP
command is written. GPO pins are powered down and not active during this state. For optimal power down
current, GPO2 must be either internally driven low through GPIO_CTL command or externally driven low.
Note: In FMRX component 1.0, a reset is required when the system controller writes a command other than POWER_UP
when in powerdown mode.
Note: The following describes the state of all the pins when in powerdown mode:

FM: LO frequency is 128 kHz above RF for RF frequencies < 90 MHz and 128 kHz below RF for RF frequencies >
90 MHz. For example, LO frequency is 80.128 MHz when tuning to 80.00 MHz.
Note: For FMRX components 2.0 or earlier, tuning range is 76–108 MHz.
Note: Fast bit is supported in FMRX components 4.0 or later.

recommended.
Note: When tuned manually, the varactor is offset by four codes. For example, if the
varactor is set to a value of 5 manually, when read back the value will be 1. The
four codes (1pf) delta accounts for the capacitance at the chip.

Command 0x23. FM_RSQ_STATUS
Returns status information about the received signal quality. The commands returns the RSSI, SNR, frequency
offset, and stereo blend percentage. It also indicates valid channel (VALID), soft mute engagement (SMUTE), 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. For the Si4706/4x, 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. If the
PILOT indicator is set, it can also check whether the blend has crossed a threshold as indicated by BLENDINT.
The command clears the RSQINT, BLENDINT, SNRHINT, SNRLINT, RSSIHINT, RSSILINT, MULTHINT, and
MULTLINT interrupt bits when INTACK bit of ARG1 is set. 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 0x24. FM_RDS_STATUS
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. 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 when in power up
mode. The FIFO size is 25 groups for FMRX component 2.0 or later, and 14 for FMRX component 1.0.
Notes:
1. FM_RDS_STATUS is supported in FMRX component 2.0 or later.
2. MTFIFO is not supported in FMRX component 2.0.

Command 0x80. GPIO_CTL
Enables output for GPO1, 2, and 3. GPO1, 2, and 3 can be configured for output (Hi-Z or active drive) by setting
the GPO1OEN, GPO2OEN, and GPO3OEN bit. The state (high or low) of GPO1, 2, and 3 is set with the
GPIO_SET command. To avoid excessive current consumption due to oscillation, GPO pins should not be left in a
high impedance state. 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. The default is all GPO pins set for high impedance.
Notes:
1. GPIO_CTL is fully supported in FMRX component 2.0 or later. Only bit GPO3OEN is supported in FMRX component 1.0.
2. The use of GPO2 as an interrupt pin and/or the use of GPO3 as DCLK digital clock input will override this GPIO_CTL
function for GPO2 and/or GPO3 respectively.

including CTS, ERR, RSQINT, RDSINT (Si4705/21/31/35/37/39/41/43/45/85 only), and STCINT bits. The
corresponding bit is set before the interrupt occurs. The CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to
send the next command. The CTS interrupt enable (CTSIEN) can be set with this property and the POWER_UP
command. The state of the CTSIEN bit set during the POWER_UP command can be read by reading this property
and modified by writing this property. This property may only be set or read when in powerup mode.

DOSR[15:0] is 0, digital audio output is disabled. The over-sampling rate must be set in order to satisfy a minimum
DCLK of 1 MHz. To enable digital audio output, program DOSR[15:0] with the sample rate in samples per second.
The system controller must establish DCLK and DFS prior to enabling the digital audio output else the
device will not respond and will require reset. The sample rate must be set to 0 before the DCLK/DFS is
removed. FM_TUNE_FREQ command must be sent after the POWER_UP command to start the internal
clocking before setting this property.
Note: DIGITAL_OUPTUT_SAMPLE_RATE is supported in FM receive component 2.0 or later.

Property 0x0201. REFCLK_FREQ
Sets the frequency of the REFCLK from the output of the prescaler. The REFCLK range is 31130 to 34406 Hz
(32768 ±5% Hz) in 1 Hz steps, or 0 (to disable AFC). For example, an RCLK of 13 MHz would require a prescaler
value of 400 to divide it to 32500 Hz REFCLK. The reference clock frequency property would then need to be set to
32500 Hz. RCLK frequencies between 31130 Hz and 40 MHz are supported, however, there are gaps in frequency
coverage for prescaler values ranging from 1 to 10, or frequencies up to 311300 Hz. The following table
summarizes these RCLK gaps.

divide it to 32500 Hz. The reference clock frequency property would then need to be set to 32500 Hz. The RCLK
must be valid 10 ns before sending and 20 ns after completing the FM_TUNE_FREQ and FM_TUNE_START

5.3. Commands and Properties for the AM/SW/LW Receiver
(Si4730/31/34/35/36/37/40/41/42/43/44/45)
AM (Medium Wave), SW (Short Wave), and LW (Long Wave) use the same AM_SW_LW component, thus the
commands and properties for these functions are the same. For simplicity reason, the commands and properties
only have a prefix AM instead of AM_SW_LW. The main difference among AM, SW, and LW is on the frequency
range.
The common frequency range and spacing for AM/SW/LW are:




SW
AM in US
AM in Asia
LW
2.3 MHz to 23 MHz in 5 kHz frequency spacing
520 kHz to 1.71 MHz in 10 kHz frequency spacing
522 kHz to 1.71 MHz in 9 kHz frequency spacing
153 kHz to 279 kHz in 9 kHz frequency spacing
Tables 12 and 13 summarize the commands and properties for the AM/SW/LW Receiver components applicable to
Si473x/4x.

5.3.1. AM/SW/LW Receiver Commands
Command 0x01. POWER_UP
Initiates the boot process to move the device from powerdown to powerup mode. The boot can occur from internal
device memory or a system controller downloaded patch. To confirm that the patch is compatible with the internal
device library revision, the library revision should be confirmed by issuing the POWER_UP command with
FUNC = 15 (query library ID). The device returns the response, including the library revision, and then moves into
powerdown mode. The device can then be placed in powerup mode by issuing the POWER_UP command with
FUNC = 1 (AM/SW/LW Receive) and the patch may be applied. See Section "7.2. Powerup from a Component
Patch" on page 216 for more information.
The POWER_UP command configures the state of ROUT (pin 13) and LOUT (pin 14) for analog audio mode and
GPO2/INT (pin 18) for interrupt operation. For the Si4731/35/37, the POWER_UP command also configures the
state of GPO3/DCLK (pin 17), DFS (pin 16), and DOUT (pin 15) for digital audio mode. The command configures
GPO2/INT interrupts (GPO2OEN) and CTS interrupts (CTSIEN). If both are enabled, GPO2/INT is driven high
during normal operation and low for a minimum of 1 µs during the interrupt. The CTSIEN bit is duplicated in the
GPO_IEN property. The command is complete when the CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set.
Note: To change function (e.g. AM/SW/LW RX to FM RX), issue POWER_DOWN command to stop current function; then,
issue POWER_UP to start new function.
Note: Delay at least 500 ms between powerup command and first tune command to wait for the oscillator to stabilize if
XOSCEN is set and crystal is used as the RCLK.

Command 0x11. POWER_DOWN
Moves the device from powerup to powerdown mode. 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. 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 does not respond. The device will only respond when a POWER_UP
command is written. GPO pins are powered down and not active during this state. For optimal power down
current, GPO2 must be either internally driven low through GPIO_CTL command or externally driven low.
Note: In AMRX component 1.0, a reset is required when the system controller writes a command other than POWER_UP
when in powerdown mode.
Note: The following describes the state of all the pins when in powerdown mode:
GPIO1, GPIO2, GPIO3 = 0
ROUT, LOUT, DOUT, DFS = HiZ

Command 0x40. AM_TUNE_FREQ
Tunes the AM/SW/LW receive to a frequency between 149 and 23 MHz in 1 kHz steps. In AM only mode, the valid
frequency is between 520 and 1710 kHz in 1 kHz steps. 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. The STCINT bit is set only after the GET_INT_STATUS command is called. This command may only
be sent when in powerup mode. The command clears the STC bit if it is already set. See Figure 28, “CTS and STC
Timing Model,” on page 226 and Table 47, “Command Timing Parameters for the AM Receiver,” on page 229.
AM: LO frequency is 45 kHz above RF for RF frequencies < 1000 kHz and 45 kHz below RF for RF frequencies
> 1000 kHz. For example, LO frequency is 945 kHz when tuning to 900 kHz.
Note: FAST bit is supported in Si473x-C40 and later devices and Si474x devices (AMRX component 3.0 or later).
ANTCAP bits are supported in AMRX component 2.0 or later (all devices except Si4730-A10).

Command 0x80. GPIO_CTL
Enables output for GPO1, 2, and 3. GPO1, 2, and 3 can be configured for output (Hi-Z or active drive) by setting
the GPO1OEN, GPO2OEN, and GPO3OEN bit. The state (high or low) of GPO1, 2, and 3 is set with the
GPIO_SET command. To avoid excessive current consumption due to oscillation, GPO pins should not be left in a
high impedance state. 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. The default is all GPO pins set for high impedance.
Notes:
1. GPIO_CTL is supported in AM_SW_LW component 2.0 or later.
2. The use of GPO2 as an interrupt pin and/or the use of GPO3 as DCLK digital clock input will override this GPIO_CTL
function for GPO2 and/or GPO3 respectively.

Command 0x81. GPIO_SET
Sets the output level (high or low) for GPO1, 2, and 3. GPO1, 2, and 3 can be configured for output by setting the
GPO1OEN, GPO2OEN, and GPO3OEN bit in the GPIO_CTL command. To avoid excessive current consumption
due to oscillation, GPO pins should not be left in a high impedance state. 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 when in powerup mode. The
default is all GPO pins set for high impedance.
Note: GPIO_SET is supported in AM_SW_LW component 2.0 or later.

Property 0x0001. GPO_IEN
Configures the sources for the GPO2/INT interrupt pin. Valid sources are the lower 8 bits of the STATUS byte,
including CTS, ERR, RSQINT, and STCINT bits. The corresponding bit is set before the interrupt occurs. The CTS
bit (and optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to send the next command. The CTS interrupt enable (CTSIEN) can
be set with this property and the POWER_UP command. The state of the CTSIEN bit set during the POWER_UP
command can be read by reading this property and modified by writing this property. This property may only be set
or read when in powerup mode.

Property 0x0104. DIGITAL_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_RATE
Enables digital audio output and configures digital audio output sample rate in samples per second (sps). When
DOSR[15:0] is 0, digital audio output is disabled. To enable digital audio output, program DOSR[15:0] with the
sample rate in samples per second. The over-sampling rate must be set in order to satisfy a minimum DCLK of
1 MHz. The system controller must establish DCLK and DFS prior to enabling the digital audio output else
the device will not respond and will require reset. The sample rate must be set to 0 before DCLK/DFS is
removed. AM_TUNE_FREQ command must be sent after the POWER_UP command to start the internal
clocking before setting this property.
Note: DIGITAL_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_RATE is supported in AM_SW_LW component 2.0 or later.

Property 0x0201. REFCLK_FREQ
Sets the frequency of the REFCLK from the output of the prescaler. The REFCLK range is 31130 to 34406 Hz
(32768 5% Hz) in 1 Hz steps, or 0 (to disable AFC). For example, an RCLK of 13MHz would require a prescaler
value of 400 to divide it to 32500 Hz REFCLK. The reference clock frequency property would then need to be set to
32500 Hz. RCLK frequencies between 31130 Hz and 40 MHz are supported, however, there are gaps in frequency
coverage for prescaler values ranging from 1 to 10, or frequencies up to 311300 Hz. The following table

Property 0x0202. REFCLK_PRESCALE
Sets the number used by the prescaler to divide the external RCLK down to the internal REFCLK. The range may
be between 1 and 4095 in 1 unit steps. For example, an RCLK of 13 MHz would require a prescaler value of 400 to
divide it to 32500 Hz. The reference clock frequency property would then need to be set to 32500 Hz. The RCLK
must be valid 10 ns before sending and 20 ns after completing the AM_TUNE_FREQ and AM_SEEK_START
commands. In addition, the RCLK must be valid at all times for proper AFC operation. The RCLK may be removed
or reconfigured at other times. 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 when in powerup mode. The default is 1.

Property 0x3103. AM_AUTOMATIC_VOLUME_CONTROL_MAX_GAIN
Sets the maximum gain for automatic volume control. 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 when in powerup mode. The default is 16 dB.
The maximum AVC gain affects audio output level, especially under weak signal conditions. It amplifies the signal
as well as noise. When a signal is very weak (needs a lot of gain) then the maximum gain will be applied, and may
make the noise too harsh for the listener, even the soft mute functions. The user can reduce the noise further by
adjusting the maximum AVC gain. The property allows the user to optimize the trade-off between maintaining
output level and suppressing noise.
Note: The maximum AVC gain is not configurable in Si473x-B20 devices (FMRX component 2.1 and earlier), and is 90.3 dB.
This would be equivalent to AM_AUTOMATIC_VOLUME_CONTROL_MAX_GAIN property value 0x7800, which is the
maximum value.

ATTN_BACKUP[7:0]
MIN_GAIN_INDEX impacts sensitivity and U/D performance. Lower values improve sensitivity, but degrade far
away blocker U/D performance. [Note: Values below 19 have minimal sensitivity improvement.] Higher values
degrade sensitivity, but improve U/D. With MIN_GAIN_INDEX=19 and Si4743 EVB reference design, the Si474x
provides sensitivity of 28dBuV typical and U/D exceeding 55dB on far away blockers. With MIN_GAIN_INDEX=24,
the Si474x provides sensitivity of 34dBuV typical and U/D approaching 70dB on far away blockers.
The recommended MIN_GAIN_INDEX optimization procedure is:
1. Determine source impedance and AM antenna dummy.
166
Rev. 1.0
AN332
2. Determine sensitivity RF input and SINAD requirements.
3. Set frequency to 1000kHz.
4. With source impedance in #1 and RF input in #2, adjust MIN_GAIN_INDEX until SINAD requirements are
achieved with minimum necessary margin.
5. Program this value into Si474x MIN_GAIN_INDEX as part of initialization after POWERUP command.
ATTN_BACKUP insures the AGC gain indexes are monotonic and is used when the external attenuator is engaged
via GPO1/AGC2. The actual attenuation achieved depends on the source impedance or AM antenna dummy.
Since AGC gain implementation is subject to change, the optimum value is best determined with specific antenna
and board design.
The recommend ATTN_BACKUP optimization procedure is:
1. Determine source impedance and AM antenna dummy.
2. Determine maximum RF input and associated SINAD requirements.
3. Set frequency to 1710kHz.
4. With ATTN_BACKUP set to 12 (default), disable the AGC at AMAGCNDX=47 using AM_AGC_OVERRIDE
command.
5. With source impedance in #1 and RF input in #2, adjust attenuator impedance until SINAD requirements are
achieved with minimum necessary margin. For Si4743EVB Rev 1.3, C7 (1200pF) attenuates against passive
antenna sources and R8 (1 ohm) attenuates against active (50 ohm) sources.
6. Enable the AGC using AM_AGC_OVERRIDE.
7. Sweep the RF input from 0 to 126 dBuV and then from 126 to 0 dBuV in 1 dB steps and observe the
AMAGCNDX at each RF level using AM_AGC_STATUS command.
8. If AMAGCNDX is observed to oscillate at any RF level, increase ATTN_BACKUP by 1 and repeat from step 7.
9. If AMAGCNDX is observed not to oscillate at any RF level, decrease ATTN_BACKUP by one and repeat from
step 7.
10. Add one to smallest ATTN_BACKUP for which no oscillations are observed and program this value into Si474x
ATTN_BACKUP as part of initialization after POWERUP command.

5.4.1. WB Receiver Commands
Command 0x01. POWER_UP
Initiates the boot process to move the device from powerdown to powerup mode. The boot can occur from internal
device memory or a system controller downloaded patch. To confirm that the patch is compatible with the internal
device library revision, the library revision should be confirmed by issuing the POWER_UP command with FUNC =
15 (query library ID). The device returns the response, including the library revision, and then moves into
powerdown mode. The device can then be placed in powerup mode by issuing the POWER_UP command with
FUNC = 3 (WB Receive) and the patch may be applied.
The POWER_UP command configures the state of ROUT (pin 13), LOUT (pin 14) for analog audio mode. For
Si4743 component 2A or higher, the POWER_UP command also configures the state of GPO3/DCLK (pin 19),
DFS (pin 18), and DOUT (pin 17) for digital audio mode. The command configures GPO2/INT~ interrupts
(GPO2OEN) and CTS interrupts (CTSIEN). If both are enabled, GPO2/IRQ is driven high during normal operation
and low for a minimum of 1 μs during the interrupt. The CTSIEN bit is duplicated in the GPO_IEN property. The
command is complete when the CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set.
To change function (e.g., WB RX to FM RX), issue POWER_DOWN command to stop current function; then, issue
POWER_UP to start new function.
Note: Delay at least 500 ms between powerup command and first tune command to wait for the oscillator to stabilize if
XOSCEN is set and crystal is used as the RCLK

Returns status information about the received signal quality. The commands returns the RSSI, SNR, and frequency
offset. It also indicates whether the frequency is a currently valid frequency as indicated by VALID, and whether the
AFC is railed or not as indicated by 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 received 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 STCINT interrupt bit when INTACK bit of
ARG1 is set. 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 0x54. WB_SAME_STATUS
Retrieves SAME information, acknowledges SAMEINT interrupts and clears the message buffer. The command
indicates whether the start of message, end of message or preamble is detected and if the header buffer is ready.
The state of the decoder, message length, and 8 bytes of the message buffer with corresponding confidence level
is returned. The byte at address 0 will be the first byte following the header block identifier "ZCZC", typically "-"
(Dash). Each byte has an associated confidence metric ranging from 0 (low confidence) to 3 (high confidence).

0 = Message Buffer preserved.
1 = Clears the contents of the SAME Message Buffer.
Clears the contents of the SAME Message Buffer if set. The buffer will
always be cleared during WB_TUNE_FREQ. If the buffer is not cleared then
each message received will be combined with the previously received message to increase the certainty of the message content. After receipt of an
End-of-Message, this buffer must be cleared by the user. To prevent different
headers from being combined into an incorrect message, the user must clear
the buffer before a new header is transmitted. As there is no indication that a
new header is about to be transmitted, the user must rely on other events to
indicate when to clear the buffer. The buffer should be cleared after receipt of
three headers, after the end-of-message marker, when the 1050 Hz alert
tone has been detected or 6 seconds after the reception of the last header
was completed and no new preamble has been detected. Once the buffer
has been cleared, it will remain empty until the next start-of-message is
received. Alternatively, the user may clear the buffer after each header is
received and rely on a traditional best 2-of-3 voting method. In this case, no
message combining is performed.

Command 0x80. GPIO_CTL
Enables output for GPO1, 2, and 3. GPO1, 2, and 3 can be configured for output (Hi-Z or active drive) by setting
the GPO1OEN, GPO2OEN, and GPO3OEN bit. The state (high or low) of GPO1, 2, and 3 is set with the
GPIO_SET command. To avoid excessive current consumption due to oscillation, GPO pins should not be left in a
high impedance state. 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. The default is all GPO pins set for high impedance.
Notes:
1. The use of GPO2 as an interrupt pin will override this GPIO_CTL function for GPO2.
2. GPO1 is not configurable as an output for Si4740/41/42/43/44/45.

5.4.2. WB Receiver Properties
Property 0x0001. GPO_IEN
Configures the sources for the GPO2/IRQ interrupt pin. Valid sources are the lower 8 bits of the STATUS byte,
including CTS, ERR, RSQINT, SAMEINT (Si4707 only), ASQINT, and STCINT bits. The corresponding bit is set
before the interrupt occurs. The CTS bit (and optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to send the next command.
The CTS interrupt enable (CTSIEN) can be set with this property and the POWER_UP command. The state of the
CTSIEN bit set during the POWER_UP command can be read by reading the this property and modified by writing
this property. This command may only be sent when in powerup mode.
Errata:RSQIEN is non-functional on WB component 2.0.

Property 0x0104. DIGITAL_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_RATE
Enables digital audio output and configures digital audio output sample rate in samples per second (sps). When
DOSR[15:0] is 0, digital audio output is disabled. The over-sampling rate must be set in order to satisfy a minimum
DCLK of 1 MHz. To enable digital audio output, program DOSR[15:0] with the sample rate in samples per second.
The system controller must establish DCLK and DFS prior to enabling the digital audio output else the
device will not respond and will require reset. The sample rate must be set to 0 before the DCLK/DFS is
removed. WB_TUNE_FREQ command must be sent after the POWER_UP command to start the internal
clocking before setting this property.

32500 Hz. RCLK frequencies between 31130 Hz and 40 MHz are supported, however, there are gaps in frequency
coverage for prescaler values ranging from 1 to 10, or frequencies up to 311300 Hz. The following table

6. Control Interface
The bus mode is selected by sampling the state of the GPO1 and GPO2/INT pins on the rising edge of RST. The
GPO1 pin includes a 1 M internal pull-up resistor that is connected while RST is low, and the GPO2/INT pin
includes an internal 1 M pull-down resistor that is connected while the RST pin in low. Therefore, it is only
necessary for the system controller to actively drive pins if a mode other than the default 2-wire mode is required,
as shown in Table 21. After bus mode selection is complete, the device is placed in powerdown mode. The
minimum setup time for GPO1 and GPO2 before RST = 1 is 30 ns when actively driven by the system controller
and 100 µs if the internal 1 M resistor is allowed to set the default GPO1 (high) and GPO2 (low). Refer to the
Si471x data sheet for specific reset timing requirements.

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, and the setting of properties, such as power level. 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 a reset is required.
Setting the RST 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.

2-wire bus mode uses only the SCLK and SDIO pins for signaling. A transaction begins with the START condition,
which occurs when SDIO falls while SCLK is high. Next, the system controller drives an 8-bit control word serially
on SDIO, which is captured by the device on rising edges of SCLK. 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
SDIO low on the next falling edge of SCLK.
Although the device responds to only a single device address, this address can be changed with the SEN pin (note
that the SEN pin is not used for signaling in 2-wire mode). When SEN = 0, the seven-bit device address is
0010001b. When SEN = 1, the address is 1100011b.
For write operations, the system controller next sends a data byte on SDIO, which is captured by the device on
rising edges of SCLK. The device acknowledges each data byte by driving SDIO low for one cycle on the next
falling edge of SCLK. The system controller may write up to 8 data bytes in a single 2-wire transaction. The first
byte is a command, and the next seven bytes are arguments. Writing more than 8 bytes results in
unpredictable device behavior.
For read operations, after the device has acknowledged the control byte, it will drive an eight-bit data byte on SDIO,
changing the state of SDIO on the falling edges of SCLK. The system controller acknowledges each data byte by
driving SDIO low for one cycle on the next falling edge of SCLK. If a data byte is not acknowledged by the system
controller, the transaction will end. The system controller may read up to 16 data bytes in a single 2-wire
transaction. These bytes contain the status byte and response data from the device.
A 2-wire transaction ends with the STOP condition, which occurs when SDIO rises while SCLK is high.
Table 22 demonstrates the command and response procedure implemented in the system controller to use the 2wire bus mode. In this example the TX_TUNE_FREQ command is demonstrated.

To send the TX_TUNE_FREQ command and arguments, the system controller sends the START condition,
followed by the 8-bit control word, which consists of a seven-bit device address (0010001b SEN = 0 or 1100011b
SEN = 1) and the write bit (0b) indicated by ADDR+W = 00100010b = 0x22. In this example, SEN = 0 resulting in
the control word ADDR+W = 00100010b = 0x22. If instead SEN = 1, the resulting control word would be
ADDR+W = 11000110b = 0xC6. The device acknowledges the control word by setting SDIO = 0, indicated by
ACK = 0. The system controller then sends the CMD byte, 0x30, and again the device acknowledges by setting
ACK = 0. The system controller and device repeat this process for the ARG1, ARG2, and ARG3 bytes. Commands
may take up to seven argument bytes, and this flexibility should be designed into the 2-wire bus mode
implementation. Alternatively, all seven argument bytes may be sent for all commands, but unusual arguments
must be 0x00. Unpredictable device behavior will result if more than seven arguments are sent.

To read the status and response from the device, the system controller sends the START condition, followed by the
eight-bit control word, which consists of the seven bit device address and the read bit (1b). In this example,
SEN = 0 and the write control word is ADDR+R = 00100011b = 0x23. If SEN = 1, the write control word would be
ADDR+R = 11000111b = 0xC7. The device acknowledges the control word by setting ACK = 0. Next the system
controller reads the STATUS byte. In this example, the STATUS byte is 0x00, indicating that the CTS bit, bit 8, has
not been set. The response bytes are not ready for reading and that the device is not ready to accept another
command. The system controller sets SDIO = 1, indicated by NACK = 1, to signal to the device the 2-wire transfer
will end. The system controller should set the STOP condition. This process is repeated until the STATUS byte
indicates that CTS bit is set, 0x80 in this example.

When the STATUS byte returns CTS bit set, 0x80 in this example, the system controller may read the response
bytes from the device. The controller sets ACK = 0 to indicate to the device that additional bytes will be read. The
RESP1 byte is read by the system controller, followed by the system controller setting ACK = 0. This is repeated
for RESP2. RESP3 is read by the system controller followed by the system controller setting NACK = 1, indicating
that RESP3 is the last byte to be read. The system controller then sets the STOP condition. Responses may be up
to 15 bytes in length (RESP1–RESP15) depending on the command. It is acceptable to read all 15 response bytes.
However, unused response bytes return random data and must be ignored. Note that the TX_TUNE_FREQ
command returns only the STATUS byte and response bytes are shown only for completeness.

3-wire bus mode uses the SCLK, SDIO and SEN pins. A transaction begins when the system controller drives SEN
low. Next, the system controller drives a 9-bit control word on SDIO, which is captured by the device on rising
edges of SCLK. The control word is comprised of a three bit chip address (A7:A5 = 101b), a read/write bit
(write = 0, read = 1), the chip address (A4 = 0), and a four bit register address (A3:A0).
For write operations, the control word is followed by a 16-bit data word, which is captured by the device on rising
edges of SCLK. For read operations, the control word is followed by a delay of one-half SCLK cycle for bus turnaround. Next, the device drives the 16-bit read data word serially on SDIO, changing the state of SDIO on each
rising edge of SCLK.
For read operations, the control word is followed by a delay of one-half SCLK cycle for bus turn-around. Next, the
device drives the 16-bit read data word serially on SDIO, changing the state of SDIO on each rising edge of SCLK.
A transaction ends when the system controller sets SEN = 1, then pulses SCLK high and low one final time. SCLK
may either stop or continue to toggle while SEN is high. In 3-wire mode, commands are sent by first writing each
argument to register(s) 0xA1–0xA3, then writing the command word to register 0xA0. A response is retrieved by
reading registers 0xA8–0xAF.

In 3-wire mode, the control registers are accessed as 16-bit entities (2 byte). In Table 23, the full 8-bit 3-wire
address is shown, including the chip’s fixed base address (A7:A4 = 1010b). The first two bytes in a command
stream uses register COMMAND1. The CMD byte occupies register COMMAND1[15:8], while ARG1 occupies
register COMMAND1[7:0]. Commands with an odd number of bytes must have the lower 8 bits of the register
containing the final argument byte filled with 0x00. Registers which are not specified by the command must either
not be written, or must be filled with 0x0000 (user's discretion). Writing register COMMAND1 causes the command
to execute. As a consequence, all registers containing applicable argument bytes must be written (in any order)
prior to writing register COMMAND1. For example, when sending the SET_PROPERTY command, write registers
COMMAND2..COMMAND3 first, then register COMMAND1. Note that ARG1 is part of register COMMAND1 and
must be written at the same time as CMD. The contents of registers STATUS/RESPONSE1..RESPONSE8 are not
valid until the CTS bit (STATUS/RESPONSE1[15]) is set. RESPONSE1[13:8] is updated after sending the
GET_INT_STATUS command. Response bytes which are not specified in the response byte stream are not
guaranteed to be 0x00 and should be ignored. For example, GET_PROPERTY has 4 bytes of response data in
registers RESPONSE1..RESPONSE2. The contents of registers RESPONSE3..RESPONSE8 are meaningless
and not guaranteed to be 0x0000. Likewise, for commands which have an odd number of response bytes, or a
single status byte, the least significant byte (bits 7:0) of the final register is meaningless, and not guaranteed to be
0x00.

To send the TX_TUNE_FREQ command and arguments, the system controller sets SEN = 0. Next, the controller
drives the 9-bit control word on SDIO, consisting of the device address (A7:A5 = 101b), the write bit (0b), the
device address (A4 = 0), and the register address for the COMMAND2 register (A3:A0 = 0001b). The control word
is followed by a 16-bit data word, consisting of ARG2 followed by ARG3. The system controller then sets SEN = 1
and pulses the SCLK high and then low one final time. For commands requiring additional arguments, in the
COMMAND3 (ARG3, ARG4) and COMMAND4 (ARG5, ARG6) registers, the system controller would send these
next.

consisting of the device address (A7:A5 = 101b), the write bit (0b), the device address (A4 = 0), and the register
address for the COMMAND1 register (A3:A0 = 0000b). The control word is followed by a 16-bit data word,
consisting of the CMD byte followed by ARG1 byte. The system controller then sets SEN = 1 and pulses the SCLK
high and then low one final time.

To read the status and response from the device, the system controller sets SEN = 0. Next, the controller drives the
9-bit control word 101101000b on SDIO, consisting of the device address (A7:A5 = 101b), the read bit (1b), the
device address (A4 = 0), and the register address for the STATUS/RESPONSE1 register (A3:A0 = 1000b). The
control word is followed by a 16-bit data word, consisting of STATUS followed by RESPONSE1. The system
controller then sets SEN = 1 and pulses the SCLK high and then low one final time. In this example, the STATUS
byte is 0x00, indicating that the CTS bit, bit 8, has not been set and that the response bytes are not ready for
reading and that the device is not ready to accept another command. RESP1 will be random until the CTS bit is
set. This process should be repeated until the STATUS byte indicates that CTS bit is set, 0x80 in this example.

SPI bus mode uses the SCLK, SDIO and SEN pins for read/write operations. The system controller can choose to
receive read data from the device on either SDIO or GPO1. A transaction begins when the system controller drives
SEN = 0. The system controller then pulses SCLK eight times, while driving an 8-bit control byte serially on SDIO.
The device captures the data on rising edges of SCLK. The control byte must have one of five values:





0x48 = write a command (controller drives 8 additional bytes on SDIO)
0x80 = read a response (device drives one additional byte on SDIO)
0xC0 = read a response (device drives 16 additional bytes on SDIO)
0xA0 = read a response (device drives one additional byte on GPO1)
0xE0 = read a response (device drives 16 additional bytes on GPO1)
For write operations, the system controller must drive exactly 8 data bytes (a command and arguments) on SDIO
after the control byte. The data is captured by the device on the rising edge of SCLK.
212
Rev. 1.0
AN332
For read operations, the controller must read exactly one byte (STATUS) after the control byte or exactly 16 data
bytes (STATUS and RESP1–RESP15) after the control byte. The device changes the state of SDIO (or GPO1, if
specified) on the falling edge of SCLK. Data must be captured by the system controller on the rising edge of SCLK.
Keep SEN low until all bytes have transferred. A transaction may be aborted at any time by setting SEN high and
toggling SCLK high and then low. Commands will be ignored by the device if the transaction is aborted.
Table 25 demonstrates the command and response procedure that would need to be implemented in the system
controller to use the SPI bus mode. In this example the TX_TUNE_FREQ command is demonstrated.

To send the TX_TUNE_FREQ command and arguments, the system controller sets SEN = 0, sends the control

that all seven argument bytes must be sent by the controller or the command will fail. Unused arguments must be

To read the status and response from the device, the system controller sets SEN = 0 and sends the control byte
0x80 to read the response on SDIO (or the control byte 0xA0 to read the response on GPO1). Next the system
controller reads the STATUS byte. In this example, the STATUS byte is 0x00, indicating that the CTS bit, bit 8, has
not been set and that the response bytes are not ready for reading. The device is not ready to accept another
command. The system controller sets SEN = 1 to end the transfer. This process should be repeated until the
STATUS byte indicates that CTS bit is set, 0x80 in this example.

7. Powerup
There are two procedures for booting the device to move it from powerdown mode to the powerup mode. The first
and most common is a boot from internal device memory. The second is a boot from a firmware patch that is
written from the system controller to the device.
To power up the device:
1. Supply VDD and VIO while keeping the RST = 0.
The minimum VDD and VIO rise time is 25 µs, and VDD and VIO must be stable 250 µs before setting
RST = 1.
Power supplies may be sequenced in any order.
RST is in the VIO supply domain and therefore RST = 0 must be maintained before VIO is supplied.
2. Set GPO1 and GPO2 for the desired bus mode.
The minimum setup time for GPO1 and GPO2 before RST = 1 is 30 ns when actively driven by the system
controller and 100 µs if the internal 1 M resistor is allowed to set the default GPO1 (high) and GPO2 (low).
3. Set RST = 1.
4. Write POWER_UP to the command register.
The POWER_UP command instructs the device to boot from internal memory, see Section “7.1. Powerup from
Device Memory”, or from a firmware patch sent from the system controller, see Section “7.2. Powerup from a
Component Patch”. After CTS = 1, the device is ready to commence normal operation and accept additional
commands. The POWER_UP command configures the state of DIN (pin 13), DFS (pin 14), and RIN (pin 15 on
Si471x/2x) and LIN (pin 16 on Si471x/2x) for analog or digital audio modes and GPO2/INT for interrupt
operation. Prior to this command these pins are set to high impedance. The GPIO_CTL and GPIO_SET
commands configure the state of GPO2/INT and GPO3. Prior to this command these pins are set to high
impedance.
5. Provide RCLK.
Note that the RCLK buffer is in the VIO supply domain and may therefore be supplied at any time after VIO is
supplied. The RCLK must be valid 10 ns before any command that enables the TX carrier, such as the
TX_TUNE_FREQ command, and for 10 ns after any command that disables the carrier, such as the
TX_TUNE_POWER command with a value of 0x00. The RCLK is required for proper AGC operation when the
carrier is enabled. The RCLK may be removed or reconfigured when the carrier is disabled.

7.2. Powerup from a Component Patch
The device has the ability to receive component patches from the system controller to modify sections or all of the
device memory.
7.2.1. Patching Capabilities
In order to support interim updates to the device component, patches can be applied to the component by the
system controller via a download mechanism. Patches can be provided by Silicon Laboratories to customers to
address field issues, errata, or adjust device behavior. Patches are unique to a particular device firmware version
and cannot be generated by customers.
Patches can be used to replace a portion of the component (to address errata for example) or to download an
entirely new component image (to allow a customer to test a new component release on their device prior to
receiving programmed parts).
Patches are tagged with a unique identification to allow them to be tracked and are encrypted requiring the
customer to use a tag when downloading to allow the Si47xx to decrypt the patch.
Prior to downloading a partial patch, the user must confirm that the device contains the correct firmware and library
to support the patch.
7.2.1.1. Examples
An FM transmitter component patch for Si471x firmware 2.0 with library R4 does not support Si471x firmware 1.0
with library R0.
For a programmatic indication, the POWER_UP command can be used to confirm the device library and firmware
version. For a visual indication, the marking on the device can be used to confirm the firmware version. Tables 30
through 35 summarize the library and firmware mapping and compatibility.

7.2.2. Patching Procedure
Patching is accomplished by sending a series of commands to the device. These commands are sent in the same
manner as any other device commands and can be sent over any of the command busses (2-wire, 3-wire, SPI).
The first command that is sent to the device is the POWER_UP command to confirm that the patch is compatible
with the internal device library revision. The device moves into the powerup mode, returns the reply, and moves
into the powerdown mode. The POWER_UP command is sent to the device again to configure the mode of the
device and additionally is used to start the patching process. When applying the patch, the PATCH bit in ARG1 of
the POWER_UP command must be set to 1 to begin the patching process.
Once the POWER_UP command is sent and the device is placed in patch mode, the patch file can be sent to the
device. The patch file typically has a .csg extension. It is formatted into 8 columns, consisting of a leading
command (0x15 or 0x16), and 7 arguments. The controlling system must send each line of 8 bytes, wait for a CTS,
then send the next set of 8, 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.
The patch download mechanism is verified with a checksum embedded in the patch download. If the checksum
fails, the part issues an error code, ERR (bit 6 of the one byte reply that is available 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.

A full memory patch requires 15856 bytes of system controller memory, however, most patches require significantly
less memory. In 2-wire mode, a full memory patch download requires approximately 500 ms at a 400 kHz clock
rate. The following is an example of the commands required to boot the device from powerdown mode using the
patch file in the previous example. The device has completed the boot process when the CTS bit is set high after
the last byte in the file is transferred and is ready to accept additional commands and proceed with normal
operation.
Table 42 provides an example of using the POWER_UP command with patching enabled. The table is broken into
three columns. The first column lists the action taking place: command (CMD), argument (ARG), status (STATUS)
or response (RESP). The second column lists the data byte or bytes in hexadecimal that are being sent or
received. An arrow preceding the data indicates data being sent from the device to the system controller. The third
column describes the action.

To Power Down the device and remove VDD and VIO (optional):
1. Write TX_TUNE_POWER to the command register to disable the carrier.
2. Set RCLK = 0 (optional).
Note that the RCLK buffer is in the VIO supply domain and may therefore be supplied at any time that VIO is
supplied. The RCLK must be valid 10 ns before and 10 ns after sending the TX_TUNE_MEASURE,
TX_TUNE_FREQ, and TX_TUNE_POWER commands. In addition, the RCLK must be valid at all times when
the carrier is enabled for proper AGC operation. The RCLK may be removed or reconfigured at other times.
The RCLK is required for proper AGC operation when the carrier is enabled. The RCLK may be removed or
reconfigured when the carrier is disabled.
3. Write POWER_DOWN to the command register.
Note that all register contents will be lost.
4. Set RST = 0.
Note that RST must be held high for 10 ns after the completion of the POWER_DOWN command.
5. Remove VDD (optional).
6. Remove VIO (optional).
Note that VIO must not be removed without removing VDD. Unexpected device operation may result.

9. Digital Audio Interface
The digital audio interface operates in slave mode and supports 3 different audio data formats:



I2S
Left-Justified
DSP Mode
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 DSP mode, the DFS becomes a pulse with a width of 1 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 mode:
the MSB of the left channel can be transferred on the first rising edge of DCLK following the DFS pulse 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.
The number of audio bits can be configured for 8, 16, 20, or 24 bits.

There are two additional properties each for FM Transmitter and AM/FM/SW/LW Receiver associated with using
digital audio input/output. Note that digital audio is not supported in WB Receiver.
For FM Transmitter:
1. Property 0x0101: DIGITAL_INPUT_FORMAT
2. Property 0x0103: DIGITAL_INPUT_SAMPLE_RATE
For AM/FM/SW/LW Receiver:
1. Property 0x0102: DIGITAL_OUTPUT_FORMAT
2. Property 0x0104: DIGITAL_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_RATE
The procedure for using a digital audio is as follow:
1. When the device is powered up, the default value for DIGITAL_INPUT_SAMPLE_RATE or
DIGITAL_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_RATE is 0 (disable digital audio in/out).
2. User then must supply DCLK and DFS prior to setting the DIGITAL_INPUT_SAMPLE_RATE or
DIGITAL_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_RATE property.
3. This procedure can be applied anytime after the chip is powered up.
4. User may also change or disable DCLK/DFS during operation. Prior to changing or disabling DCLK/DFS, user
has to set the DIGITAL_INPUT_SAMPLE_RATE or DIGITAL_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_RATE property to 0. After
changing or re-enabling DCLK/DFS, user then can set the sample rate property again.
5. The property DIGITAL_INPUT_FORMAT and DIGITAL_OUTPUT_FORMAT does not have a condition, thus it
can be set anywhere after power up.
Notes:
1. Failure to provide DCLK and DFS prior to setting the sample rate property may cause the chip to go into an unknown
state and user must reset the chip.
2. The DIGITAL_INPUT_SAMPLE_RATE or DIGITAL_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_RATE is the audio sampling rate (DFS rate)
and is valid between 32 kHz and 48 kHz.
The following table is a programming example of how to use digital audio.

10. Timing
There are two indicators: CTS (Clear to Send) and STC (Seek/Tune Complete) to indicate that a command has
been accepted and execution completed by the part.
After sending every command, the CTS bit will be set indicating that the command has been accepted by the part
and it is ready to receive the next command. The CTS bit, on most commands, also indicates that the command
has completed execution. These commands are:
1. POWER_UP, POWER_DOWN, GET_REV, GET_PROPERTY, GPIO_CTL, GPIO_SET
2. On FM Transmitter component: TX_TUNE_STATUS, TX_ASQ_STATUS, TX_RDS_BUFF, TX_RDS_PS
3. On FM Receive component: FM_TUNE_STATUS, FM_RSQ_STATUS, FM_RDS_STATUS
4. On AM/SW/LW Receive component: AM_TUNE_STATUS, AM_RSQ_STATUS
5. On WB Receive component: WB_TUNE_STATUS, WB_RSQ_STATUS, WB_ASQ_STATUS
The CTS timing model is shown in Figure 27 and the timing parameters for each command are shown in Table 45.

Figure 27. CTS Timing Model
In addition to CTS bit, there are a few commands (e.g. TX_TUNE_FREQ or FM_TUNE_FREQ) that use the STC
bit to indicate that the command has completed execution. It is highly recommended that user waits for the STC bit
before sending the next command. When interrupt is not used, user can poll the status of this STC bit by sending
the GET_INT_STATUS command until the STC bit has been set before sending the next command.
Commands that use STC bit to indicate execution has been completed:
1. On FM Transmitter component: TX_TUNE_FREQ, TX_TUNE_POWER, TX_TUNE_MEASURE
2. On FM Receive component: FM_TUNE_FREQ, FM_SEEK_START
3. On AM/SW/LW Receive component: AM_TUNE_FREQ, AM_SEEK_START
4. On WB Receive component: WB_TUNE_FREQ

11. FM Transmitter
The FM Transmitter audio signal chain involves Audio Dynamic Range Control, Pre-emphasis and Limiter function.
Understanding what these three function blocks do in the signal chain will help user in maximizing the volume out
of the FM Transmitter.
11.1. Audio Dynamic Range Control for FM Transmitter
The audio dynamic range control can be used to reduce the dynamic range of the audio signal. Audio dynamic
range reduction increases the transmit volume by decreasing the peak amplitudes of audio signals and increasing
the root mean square content of the audio signal. In other words, it amplifies signals below the threshold by a fixed
gain and compresses audio signals above the threshold by the ratio of Threshold/(Gain + Threshold). Figure 30
shows an example transfer function of an audio dynamic range controller with the threshold set at –40 dBFS and a
Gain = 20 dB relative to an uncompressed transfer function.

Figure 30. Audio Dynamic Range Transfer Function
For input signals below the threshold of –40 dBFS, the output signal is amplified or gained up by 20 dB relative to
an uncompressed signal. Audio inputs above the threshold are compressed by a 2 to 1 dB ratio, meaning that
every 2 dB increase in audio input level above the threshold results in an audio output increase of 1 dB. In this
example, the input dynamic range of 90 dB is reduced to an output dynamic range of 70 dB. The FM Transmitter
includes digital audio dynamic range control with programmable gain, threshold, attack rate, and release rate. The
total dynamic range reduction is set by the gain value and the audio output compression above the threshold is
equal to Threshold/(Gain + Threshold) in dB. The gain specified cannot be larger than the absolute value of the
threshold. This feature can also be disabled if audio compression is not desired. Figure 31 shows the time domain
characteristics of the audio dynamic range controller. The attack rate sets the speed with which the audio dynamic
range controller responds to changes in the input level, and the release rate sets the speed with which the audio
dynamic range controller returns to no compression once the audio input level drops below the threshold. When
using the audio dynamic range control, care must be taken to configure the device such that the sum of the
threshold and gain is zero, or less, as not to distort or overmodulate.

11.2. Audio Pre-emphasis for FM Transmitter
Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis are techniques used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of an FM stereo
broadcast by reducing the effects of high-frequency noise. A pre-emphasis filter is applied to the broadcast to
accentuate the high audio frequencies and a de-emphasis filter is used by the receiver to attenuate high
frequencies and restore a flat frequency response. Depending on the region, a time constant of either 50 or 75 µs
is used. The frequency response of both of these filters is shown in Figure 32. For a 75 µs filter, a 15 kHz tone is
amplified by ~17 dB. For a 50 µs filter, a 15 kHz tone is amplified by ~13.5 dB. The pre-emphasis time constant is
programmable to off, 50 or 75 µs and is setting the TX_PREEMPHASIS property. When using the pre-emphasis
filter, care must be taken to account for amplification at high frequencies as not to distort or overmodulate.

11.3. Audio Limiter for FM Transmitter
A limiter is available to prevent overmodulation by dynamically attenuating the audio level such that the maximum
audio deviation does not exceed the level set by the TX_AUDIO_DEVIATION property. The limiter is useful when
trying to maximize the audio volume, minimize receiver-generated distortion and prevent overmodulation that may
result in violating FCC and ETSI modulation limits. The OVERMOD bit is set by the device when the peak voltage
prior to the limiter exceeds the level set by the TX_AUDIO_DEVIATION property. When the limiter is enabled, the
OVERMOD bit is an indication that the limiter has dynamically attenuated the audio level. The limiter attack time is
instantaneous (within on sample period) and the release time is adjustable with the TX_LIMITER_RELEASE_TIME
property.
Note: Limiter is enabled by default.

Figure 33. Audio Input Chain
To maximize audio volume:
1. Set the input line attenuation, line level and audio deviation.
The input line attenuation should be set to the lowest setting that is above the maximum level provided by the
audio source, either 190, 301, 416 or 636 mVPK.
The line level should be set to the maximum source audio level plus headroom. When the limiter is enabled,
2 dB of headroom is recommended. 2 dB of headroom is recommended so that the limiter will not be engaged
the entire time it is enabled. When the limiter is disabled and 50 µs pre-emphasis is selected,
13.5 dB of headroom is required. When the limiter is disabled and 75 µS pre-emphasis is selected, 17 dB of
headroom is required. Table 50 summarizes these settings:

The audio deviation should be set as high as possible, with the constraint that the sum of the audio, pilot and
RDS deviation must be 75 kHz or less. Typical settings are 66.25 kHz audio deviation, 6.75 kHz pilot deviation
and 2 kHz RDS deviation.
Example 1:
An application providing a 150 mVPK input to the device on RIN/LIN would set Line Attenuation = 00, resulting
in a maximum permissible input level of 190 mVPK on LIN/RIN and an input resistance of 396 k. With 50 µS
pre-emphasis and the limiter disabled, the Line Level would be set to 150 mVPK and the source level would be
adjusted down by 13.5 dB to 30 mVPK to compensate for pre-emphasis. With the limiter enabled, the input
source can be maintained at 150 mVPK, but the line level should be set at 188 mVPK to give 2 dB headroom.
Example 2:
An application providing a 1 VPK input to the device on RIN/LIN would set Line Attenuation = 11, resulting in a
maximum permissible input level of 636 mVPK on LIN/RIN and an input resistance of 60 k. An external series
resistor on LIN and RIN inputs of 58 k would create a resistive voltage divider that would keep the maximum
line level on RIN/LIN below 509 mVPK to give a 2 dB headroom. With input signal at 509 mVPK, 75 µs preemphasis and the limiter enabled, the Line Level can be set to 636 mVPK.
2. Enable the audio dynamic range control
In general the greater the sum of threshold and gain, the greater the perceived audio volume. The following
examples demonstrate minimal and aggressive compression schemes. When using the audio dynamic range
control, care must be taken to configure the device such that the sum of the threshold and gain is zero, or less,
as not to distort or overmodulate. In practice, the sum of the threshold and gain will be less than zero to
minimize the possibility for distortion.
Example 1 (minimal compression):
SETPROPERTY: TX_ACOMP_THRESHOLD = –40 dBFS
SETPROPERTY: TX_ACOMP_ATTACK_TIME = 5 ms
SETPROPERTY: TX_ACOMP_RELEASE_TIME = 100 ms
SETPROPERTY: TX_ACOMP_GAIN = 15 dB
Example 2 (aggressive compression):
SETPROPERTY: TX_ACOMP_THRESHOLD = –15 dBFS
SETPROPERTY: TX_ACOMP_ATTACK_TIME = 0.5 ms
SETPROPERTY: TX_ACOMP_RELEASE_TIME = 1000 ms
SETPROPERTY: TX_ACOMP_GAIN = 5 dB

Table 51 provides an example of programming for the FM/RDS Transmitter. The table is broken into three columns.
The first column lists the action taking place: command (CMD), argument (ARG), status (STATUS) or response
(RESP). For SET_PROPERTY commands, the property (PROP) and property data (PROPD) are indicated. The
second column lists the data byte or bytes in hexadecimal that are being sent or received. An arrow preceding the
data indicates data being sent from the device to the system controller. The third column describes the action.
Note that in some cases the default properties may be acceptable and no modification is necessary. Refer to
Section "5. Commands and Properties" on page 7 for a full description of each command and property.
Note: If hardware interrupts are required, the GPO2OEN flag (0x40 ARG1) must be set in the POWER_UP command.

The device sets the CTS bit (and optional interrupt) to indicate that it is ready to accept the next command. The
CTS bit also indicates that the POWER_UP, GET_REV, POWER_DOWN, GET_PROPERTY, GET_INT_STATUS,
and TX_TUNE_STATUS commands have completed execution.
When performing a TX_TUNE_FREQ, TX_TUNE_POWER, or TX_TUNE_MEASURE CTS will indicate that the
device is ready to accept the next command even though the operation is not complete. GET_INT_STATUS or
hardware interrupts should be used to query for the STC bit to be set prior to performing other commands. Use
TX_TUNE_STATUS to clear the STC bit after it has been set.

Table 52 provides an example for the FM/RDS Receiver. The table is broken into three columns. The first column
lists the action taking place: command (CMD), argument (ARG), status (STATUS) or response (RESP). For
SET_PROPERTY commands, the property (PROP) and property data (PROPD) are indicated. The second column
lists the data byte or bytes in hexadecimal that are being sent or received. An arrow preceding the data indicates
data being sent from the device to the system controller. The third column describes the action.
In some cases the default properties may be acceptable and no modification is necessary. Refer to “5. Commands
and Properties” for a full description of each command and property.

- continue sending FM_RDS_STATUS until FIFO empty POWER_DOWN
Reply Status. Clear-to-send high.
The device sets the CTS bit (and optional interrupt) to indicate that it is ready to accept the next command. The
CTS bit also indicates that the POWER_UP, GET_REV, POWER_DOWN, GET_PROPERTY, GET_INT_STATUS,
FM_TUNE_STATUS, and FM_RSQ_STATUS commands have completed execution.
When performing a FM_TUNE_FREQ or FM_SEEK_START CTS will indicate that the device is ready to accept
the next command even though the operation is not complete. GET_INT_STATUS or hardware interrupts should
be used to query for the STC bit to be set prior to performing other commands. Use FM_TUNE_STATUS to clear
the STC bit after it has been set.

Table 53 provides an example of programming the AM/LW/SW receiver. The table is broken into three columns.
The first column lists the action taking place: command (CMD), argument (ARG), status (STATUS) or response
(RESP). For SET_PROPERTY commands, the property (PROP) and property data (PROPD) are indicated. The
second column lists the data byte or bytes in hexadecimal that are being sent or received. An arrow preceding the
data indicates data being sent from the device to the system controller. The third column describes the action.
Note that in some cases the default properties may be acceptable and no modification is necessary. Refer to
Section “5. Commands and Properties” for a full description of each command and property.

The device sets the CTS bit (and optional interrupt) to indicate that it is ready to accept the next command. The
CTS bit also indicates that the POWER_UP, GET_REV, POWER_DOWN, GET_PROPERTY, GET_INT_STATUS,
AM_TUNE_STATUS, and AM_RSQ_STATUS commands have completed execution.
When performing a AM_TUNE_FREQ or AM_SEEK_START CTS will indicate that the device is ready to accept
the next command even though the operation is not complete. GET_INT_STATUS or hardware interrupts should
be used to query for the STC bit to be set prior to performing other commands. Use AM_TUNE_STATUS to clear
the STC bit after it has been set.

Each of the following subsections describes the differences between revisions for groups of properties and/or
commands. Each property is listed as PROPERTY_NAME (number) = default (supported revisions).
Hexadecimal values are immediately preceded by “0x”; all other numeric values are decimal.
AM, FM, and WB errata on -B20 have been addressed in -C40 and/or -D60 devices.
The -D60 is the most recent revision and offers advanced features not available in the -C40 and -B20 revisions.
FM Properties And Commands
The properties and commands in this section are related to FM mode.
FM Mode Max Tune Error (0x110x Properties)
FM_MODE_MAX_TUNE_ERROR (0x1108) = 30 (-B20), 20 (-C40, -D60)
Maximum tune error in kHz is stored in property 0x1108. It has a default setting of 30 kHz in -B20, and a default
setting of 20 kHz in -C40 and -D60. It should be noted that 20 kHz has been recommended for best performance
even on -B20 devices through AN332.
FM RSQ Interrupt Configuration (0x120x Properties)
FM_RSQ_MULTIPATH_HIGH_THRESHOLD (0x1205 ) = 127 (-D60)
FM_RSQ_MULTIPATH_LOW_THRESHOLD (0x1206 ) = 0 (-D60)
Properties 0x1205 and 0x1206 are only available on -D60 parts.
FM Soft Mute Configuration (0x130x Properties)
FM_SOFT_MUTE_SLOPE (0x1301) = 2 (-C40, -D60)
The target soft mute target attenuation - up to a set maximum attenuation level - is calculated as the difference
between the soft mute threshold and the received SNR multiplied by a property value called the
FM_SOFT_MUTE_SLOPE. In -C40 and -D60, the default slope is 2 dB/dB. In in -B20, the slope is not configurable
through a property, but is also 2 dB/dB.
Stereo Blend Thresholds (0x110x, 0x180x Properties)
FM_BLEND_STEREO_THRESHOLD (0x1105) = 49 (-B20, -C40)
FM_BLEND_MONO_THRESHOLD (0x1106) = 30 (-B20, -C40)
FM_BLEND_RSSI_STEREO_THRESHOLD (0x1800) = 49 (-D60)
FM_BLEND_RSSI_MONO_THRESHOLD (0x1801) = 30 (-D60)
FM_BLEND_RSSI_ATTACK_RATE (0x1802) = 4000 (-D60)
FM_BLEND_RSSI_RELEASE_RATE (0x1803) = 400 (-D60)
FM_BLEND_SNR_STEREO_THRESHOLD (0x1804) = 27 (-D60)
FM_BLEND_SNR_MONO_THRESHOLD (0x1805) = 14 (-D60)
FM_BLEND_SNR_ATTACK_RATE (0x1806) = 4000 (-D60)
FM_BLEND_SNR_RELEASE_RATE (0x1807) = 400 (-D60)
FM_BLEND_MULTIPATH_STEREO_THRESHOLD (0x1808) = 20 (-D60)
Rev. 1.0
295
AN332
FM_BLEND_MULTIPATH_MONO_THRESHOLD (0x1809) = 60 (-D60)
FM_BLEND_MULTIPATH_ATTACK_RATE (0x180A) = 4000 (-D60)
FM_BLEND_MULTIPATH_RELEASE_RATE (0x180B) = 40 (-D60)
In -B20 and -C40, FM stereo blend is only determined by RSSI based on blend thresholds set in 0x1105 and
0x1106. In -D60 devices, a series of advanced blend properties have been added to improve the user experience
under dynamic signal conditions. To accommodate for this change, RSSI based threshold properties were
relocated respectively to properties 0x1800 and 0x1801. 0x1800 and 0x1801 have the same default values as
0x1105 and 0x1106.
Additional advanced blend features include stereo blending based on SNR and multipath thresholds. For each set
of thresholds, separate blend attack (into mono) and release (into stereo) rates may be set. Each of the factors is
independently evaluated, and any may trigger a blend into mono at its given threshold and rate. To remove any of
the advanced blend factors from consideration; set the corresponding blend thresholds to min value of 0 for SNR
based blend (0x1804/0x1805), and set the corresponding blend thresholds to max value of 100 for multipath based
blend (0x1808/0x1809).
FM Commands
Some parameters and returned values are only applicable to -D60 parts. These are: multipath indicator returned by
the FM_TUNE_STATUS command and the MULTIPATH_DETECT_HIGH and MULTIPATH_DETECT_LOW
parameters of the FM_RSQ_STATUS command.
In -C40 and -D60 devices, the RDSSYNC bit of the response to an FM_RDS_STATUS command may be
incorrectly set. A patch is available only for -D60 devices.

AM Properties
The properties and commands in this section are related to AM mode.
AM Mode Configuration (0x310x Properties)
AM_MODE_AVC_MAX_GAIN (0x3103) = 0x1543 (-C40, -D60)
AM_MODE_AFC_SW_PULL_IN_RANGE (0x3104) = 8695 (-C40, -D60)
AM_MODE_AFC_SW_LOCK_IN_RANGE (0x3105) = 11765 (-C40, -D60)
AM_MODE_AVC_MAX_GAIN is available in -C40 and -D60 devices with a default max gain of 16 dB. In -B20, the
AVC gain is set at maximum and not available through a property. To make -C40 or -D60 behave as -B20, set
AM_MODE_MAX_GAIN to 0x7800.
AM shortwave AFC range properties are available in -C40 and -D60 devices (supported by Si4734/35 devices
only). The default values of these properties provide similar behavior to the behavior of -B20 devices. However, in
-B20 devices, these properties are not available through the programming API.
AM Soft Mute Configuration (0x330x Properties)
AM_SOFT_MUTE_SLOPE (0x3301) = 2 (-B20), 1 (-C40, -D60)
AM_SOFT_MUTE_MAX_ATTENUATION (0x3302) = 16 (-B20), 8 (-C40, -D60)
AM_SOFT_MUTE_SNR_THRESHOLD (0x3303) = 10 (-B20), 8 (-C40, -D60)
Settings for Audio Soft Mute
Soft mute is active when SNR falls below the given AM_SOFT_MUTE_SNR_THRESHOLD. When active, the
output audio will be decreased at a set rate until the target soft mute attenuation is achieved. In -B20 devices the
threshold is 10 dB, whereas in -C40 and -D60 devices it is 8 dB.
The target soft mute target attenuation - up to a set maximum attenuation level - is calculated as the difference
between the soft mute threshold and the received SNR multiplied by a scalar value called the soft mute slope. The
default value of this property is 1 dB/dB in -C40 and -D60. In -B20, the value used is 2 dB/dB.
The maximum soft mute attenuation level is 10 dB in -B20. In -C40 and -D60 devices, the maximum level can be
set by a property AM_SOFT_MUTE_MAXIMUM_ATTENUATION, which has a default value of 8 dB.
The soft mute default changes in -C40 and -D60 have been made to improve weak signal listening experience.

To Achieve Similar Performance in SI4704/05/3X-D60 to SI4704/05/3X-C40
The -D60 devices have a more advanced feature set than -C40 devices. This section describes a step-by-step
procedure to achieve similar performance from -D60 devices to that of -C40 devices by modifying or disabling
some of the advanced features.
FM Receiver Mode

There is a debug feature that remains active in Si4704/05/3x-D60 firmware which can create periodic noise in
audio. Silicon Labs recommends you disable this feature by sending the following bytes (shown here in
hexadecimal form):
0x12 0x00 0xFF 0x00 0x00 0x00




In Si4704/05/3x-D60 devices, the FM_BLEND_RSSI_STEREO_THRESHOLD property is no longer at address
0x1105. Use address 0x1800 instead.
In Si4704/05/3x-D60 devices, the FM_BLEND_RSSI_MONO_THRESHOLD property is no longer at address
0x1106. Use address 0x1801 instead.
To disable the SNR-based stereo blend, set both the FM_BLEND_SNR_STEREO_THRESHOLD property
(0x1804) and the FM_BLEND_SNR_MONO_THRESHOLD property (0x1805) to 0.
To disable the multipath-based stereo blend, set both the FM_BLEND_MULTIPATH_STEREO_THRESHOLD
property (0x1808) and the FM_BLEND_MULTIPATH_MONO_THRESHOLD property (0x1809) to 100 (0x64).
AM Receive Mode
Si473x-D60 devices are compatible with Si473x-C40 devices in AMRX mode.
WB Receive Mode
There are no Si473x-D60 devices which support WBRX mode.
