Silicon Laboratories TITLE Si4770/77 Release Notes SECURITY Disclosure under NDA Only 1. Introduction 2. Overview This document describes changes in performance and features between releases of the Si4770/77 AM/FM Receiver firmware (FW). This document should be used in conjunction with the Si4770/77 data sheets and programming guide. Please use the data sheets and application notes for programming support, and this document as an additional reference. Both engineering releases of the firmware along with production releases are listed in this document. Any firmware version with an alphabet character in the version is an engineering release. For example FW Rev 0C is Firmware 0 engineering version C. Production firmware has numeric characters only in the version numbers. The AM firmware component revision (enumerated in section 3,) FM firmware component revision (enumerated in section 4,) are combined to into an AM/FM firmware revision (enumerated in section 5). rev 011 Pg 3 / 6 Silicon Laboratories, Inc.

FM Receiver Firmware 4.1 Revision 8.1.0 End-of-Life (EOL). Not Recommended for New Designs. 4.1.1 Errata EN55020 S1 In-band test fails at blockers <= 75 kHz from 98 MHz desired signal In RDS mode, AB sync type reports erroneous block A In RDS mode, DA sync type reports erroneous block A In RDS mode, invalid block A marked as valid RDS is slow to acquire synchronization at RDS sensitivity level. The BLTF bit never gets cleared once it is set. 4.2 Revision 10.1.0 Production Release 4.2.1 Errata All previous errata fixed unless otherwise noted.
