The Si473x-D60 digital CMOS AM/FM radio receiver IC integrates the complete
tuner function from antenna input to digital audio output and includes a stereo
audio AUXIN ADC input for converting analog audio into standard I2S digital
audio, enabling a cost efficient digital audio platform for consumer electronic
applications with high TDMA noise immunity, superior radio performance, and
high fidelity audio power amplification. When enabling the analog inputs in stereo
AUXIN ADC-mode, the Si473x-D60 supports I2S digital audio output only (no
analog output).

Important Notes:
1. When selecting 2-wire mode, the user must ensure that a 2-wire start condition (falling edge of SDIO while SCLK is
high) does not occur within 300 ns before the rising edge of RST.
2. When selecting 2-wire mode, the user must ensure that SCLK is high during the rising edge of RST, and stays high until
after the first start condition.
3. When selecting 3-wire mode, the user must ensure that a rising edge of SCLK does not occur within 300 ns before the
rising edge of RST.
4. If GPO1 and GPO2 are actively driven by the user, then minimum tSRST is only 30 ns. If GPO1 or GPO2 is hi-Z, then
minimum tSRST is 100 µs, to provide time for on-chip 1 M devices (active while RST is low) to pull GPO1 high and
GPO2 low.

Notes:
1. When VD = 0 V, SCLK and SDIO are low impedance.
2. When selecting 2-wire mode, the user must ensure that a 2-wire start condition (falling edge of SDIO while SCLK is
high) does not occur within 300 ns before the rising edge of RST.
3. When selecting 2-wire mode, the user must ensure that SCLK is high during the rising edge of RST, and stays high
until after the first start condition.
4. The Si473x-D60 delays SDIO by a minimum of 300 ns from the VIH threshold of SCLK to comply with the minimum
tHD:DAT specification.
5. The maximum tHD:DAT has only to be met when fSCL = 400 kHz. At frequencies below 400 KHz, tHD:DAT may be
violated as long as all other timing parameters are met.

integrates the complete tuner function from antenna
input to audio output, including a stereo audio AUXIN
ADC input for converting analog audio to digital signals.
This feature enables a cost-efficient digital audio
platform for consumer electronics applications with high
cell phone noise immunity, superior radio performance,
and high fidelity audio power amplification. Offering
unmatched integration and PCB space savings, the
Si473x-D60 requires only a few external components
and less than 15 mm2 of board area, excluding the

the AM, FM, SW, and LW bands. The high level of
integration and complete system production test
simplifies design-in, increases system quality, and
improves reliability and manufacturability.
audio processing.
In addition, the Si473x-D60 provides analog and digital
audio outputs and a programmable reference clock. The
device supports I2C-compatible 2-wire control interface,
and a Si4700/01 backwards-compatible 3-wire control
interface.
The Si473x-D60 utilizes digital signal processing to
achieve high fidelity, optimal performance, and design
flexibility. The chip provides excellent pilot rejection,
selectivity, and unmatched audio performance, and
offers both the manufacturer and the end-user
extensive programmability and a better listening
experience.

4.2. Operating Modes
The Si473x-D60 operates in either an FM receive, AM
receive, or audio AUXIN ADC mode. In FM mode, radio
signals are received on FMI and processed by the FM
front-end circuitry. In AM mode, radio signals are
received on AMI and processed by the AM front-end
circuitry. In audio AUXIN ADC mode, stereo audio
signals on LIN/RIN are sampled, converted to digital,
filtered, and decimated to 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz for the I2S
digital audio interface. In addition to the receiver mode,
there is a clocking mode to choose to clock the Si473xD60 from a reference clock or crystal. On the Si473xD60, there is an audio output mode to choose between
an analog and/or digital audio output. In the analog
audio output mode, ROUT and LOUT are used for the
audio output pins. In the digital audio mode, DOUT,
DFS, and DCLK pins are used. Concurrent
analog/digital audio output mode is also available
requiring all five pins.
4.3. FM Receiver
The Si473x-D60 FM receiver is based on the proven
Si4700/01 FM tuner. The receiver uses a digital low-IF
architecture allowing the elimination of external
components and factory adjustments. The Si473x-D60
integrates a low noise amplifier (LNA) supporting the
worldwide FM broadcast band (64 to 108 MHz). An
AGC circuit controls the gain of the LNA to optimize
sensitivity and rejection of strong interferers. An imagereject mixer downconverts the RF signal to low-IF. The
quadrature mixer output is amplified, filtered, and
digitized with high resolution analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs). This advanced architecture allows
the Si473x-D60 to perform channel selection, FM
demodulation, and stereo audio processing to achieve
superior performance compared to traditional analog
architectures.
4.4. AM Receiver
The highly-integrated Si473x-D60 supports worldwide
AM band reception from 520 to 1710 kHz using a digital
low-IF architecture with a minimum number of external
components and no manual alignment required. This
digital low-IF architecture allows for high-precision
filtering offering excellent selectivity and SNR with
minimum variation across the AM band. The DSP also
provides adjustable channel step sizes in 1 kHz
increments, AM demodulation, soft mute, seven
different channel bandwidth filters, and additional
features, such as a programmable automatic volume
control (AVC) maximum gain allowing users to adjust
the level of background noise.
Similar to the FM receiver, the integrated LNA and AGC
24
optimize sensitivity and rejection of strong interferers
allowing better reception of weak stations.
The Si473x-D60 provides highly-accurate digital AM
tuning without factory adjustments. 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.
4.5. SW Receiver
The Si4734/35 is the first fully integrated IC to support
AM and FM, as well as short wave (SW) band reception
from 2.3 to 26.1 MHz fully covering the 120 meter to
11 meter bands. The Si4734/35 offers extensive
shortwave features such as continuous digital tuning
with minimal discrete components and no factory
adjustments. Other SW features include adjustable
channel step sizes in 1 kHz increments, adjustable
channel bandwidth settings, advanced seek algorithm,
and soft mute.
The Si4734/35 uses the FM antenna to capture short
wave signals. These signals are then fed directly into
the AMI pin in a wide band configuration. See "AN332:
Si47xx Programming Guide” and “AN383: Si47xx
Antenna and Schematic Guidelines" for more details.
4.6. LW Receiver
The Si4734/35 supports the long wave (LW) band from
153 to 279 kHz. The highly integrated Si4734/35 offers
continuous digital tuning with minimal discrete
components and no factory adjustments. The Si4734/35
also offers adjustable channel step sizes in 1 kHz
increments, adjustable channel bandwidth settings,
advanced seek algorithm, and soft mute.
The Si4734/35 uses a separate ferrite bar antenna to
capture long wave signals.
4.7. Stereo Audio AUXIN ADC
The Si473x-D60 stereo audio AUXIN ADC can be
multiplexed between low-IF input for radio operation
and analog audio input for high fidelity data conversion
at 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz sample rate. When operated in
ADC-mode, the Si473x-D60 supports I2S digital audio
output only (no analog output) while enabling the analog
inputs and the stereo ADC.

Si4730/31/34/35-D60
4.8. Digital Audio Interface
The digital audio interface operates in slave mode and
supports a variety of MSB-first audio data formats
including I2S and left-justified modes. The interface has
three pins: digital data input (DIN), digital frame
synchronization input (DFS), and a digital bit
synchronization input clock (DCLK). The Si473x-D60
supports a number of industry-standard sampling rates
including 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz. The digital audio
interface enables low-power operation by eliminating
the need for redundant DACs and ADCs on the audio
baseband processor.
4.8.1. Audio Data Formats
The digital audio interface operates in slave mode and
supports three different audio data formats:
I2S
Left-Justified
 DSP Mode


In I2S mode, by default 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, by default 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
1DCLK 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. In addition, if
preferred, the user can configure the MSB to be
captured on the falling edge of DCLK via properties.
The number of audio bits can be configured for 8, 16,
20, or 24 bits.
4.8.2. Audio Sample Rates
The device supports a number of industry-standard
sampling rates including 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz. The
digital audio interface enables low-power operation by
eliminating the need for redundant DACs on the audio
baseband processor.

4.10. Received Signal Qualifiers
The output of the FM demodulator is a stereo
multiplexed (MPX) signal. The MPX standard was
developed in 1961, and is used worldwide. Today's
MPX signal format consists of left + right (L+R) audio,
left – right (L–R) audio, a 19 kHz pilot tone, and
RDS/RBDS data as shown in Figure 11 below.
The quality of a tuned signal can vary depending on
many factors including environmental conditions, time of
day, and position of the antenna. To adequately manage
the audio output and avoid unpleasant audible effects to
the end-user, the Si473x-D60 monitors and provides
indicators of the signal quality, allowing the host
processor to perform additional processing if required
by the customer. The Si473x-D60 monitors signal
quality metrics including RSSI, SNR, and multipath
interference on FM signals. These metrics are used to
optimize signal processing and are also reported to the
host processor. The signal processing algorithms can
use
either
Silicon
Labs'
optimized
settings
(recommended) or be customized to modify
performance.

4.9.1. Stereo Decoder
The
Si473x-D60's
integrated
stereo
decoder
automatically decodes the MPX signal using DSP
techniques. The 0 to 15 kHz (L+R) signal is the mono
output of the FM tuner. Stereo is generated from the
(L+R), (L–R), and a 19 kHz pilot tone. The pilot tone is
used as a reference to recover the (L–R) signal. Output
left and right channels are obtained by adding and
subtracting the (L+R) and (L–R) signals respectively.
4.9.2. Stereo-Mono Blending
Adaptive noise suppression is employed to gradually
combine the stereo left and right audio channels to a
mono (L+R) audio signal as the signal quality degrades
to maintain optimum sound fidelity under varying
reception conditions. Three metrics, received signal
strength indicator (RSSI), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),
and
multipath
interference,
are
monitored
simultaneously in forcing a blend from stereo to mono.
The metric which reflects the minimum signal quality
takes precedence and the signal is blended
appropriately.
All three metrics have programmable stereo/mono
thresholds and attack/release rates. If a metric falls
below its mono threshold, the signal is blended from
stereo to full mono. If all metrics are above their
respective stereo thresholds, then no action is taken to
blend the signal. If a metric falls between its mono and
stereo thresholds, then the signal is blended to the level
proportional to the metric’s value between its mono and
stereo thresholds, with an associated attack and
release rate.
The audio output may be muted. Volume is adjusted
digitally by the RX_VOLUME property.
4.12. Stereo DAC
High-fidelity stereo digital-to-analog converters (DACs)
drive analog audio signals onto the LOUT and ROUT
pins. The audio output may be muted.
4.13. Soft Mute
The soft mute feature is available to attenuate the audio
outputs and minimize audible noise in very weak signal
conditions. The soft mute feature is triggered by the
SNR metric. The SNR threshold for activating soft mute
is programmable, as are soft mute attenuation levels
and attack and release rates.
4.14. FM Hi-Cut Control
Hi-cut control is employed on audio outputs with
degradation of the signal due to low SNR and/or
multipath interference. Two metrics, SNR and multipath
interference, are monitored concurrently in forcing hi-cut
of the audio outputs. Programmable minimum and
maximum thresholds are available for both metrics. The
transition frequency for hi-cut is also programmable with
up to seven hi-cut filter settings. A single set of attack
and release rates for hi-cut are programmable for both
metrics from a range of 2 ms to 64 s. The level of hi-cut
applied can be monitored with the FM_RSQ_STATUS
command. Hi-cut can be disabled by setting the hi-cut
filter to audio bandwidth of 15 kHz.

Si4730/31/34/35-D60
4.15. De-emphasis
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. The Si473x-D60
incorporates 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 is programmable to 50 or 75 µs
and is set by the FM_DEEMPHASIS property.
4.16. RDS/RBDS Processor
(Si4731/35 Only)
The Si4731/35 implements an RDS/RBDS* processor
for symbol decoding, block synchronization, error
detection, and error correction.
The Si4731/35 device is user configurable and provides
an optional interrupt when RDS is synchronized, loses
synchronization, and/or the user configurable RDS
FIFO threshold has been met.
The Si4731/35 reports RDS decoder synchronization
status and detailed bit errors in the information word for
each RDS block with the FM_RDS_STATUS command.
The range of reportable block errors is 0, 1–2, 3–5, or
6+. More than six errors indicates that the
corresponding block information word contains six or
more non-correctable errors or that the block checkword
contains errors. The pilot does not have to be present to
decode RDS/RBDS.
*Note: RDS/RBDS is referred to only as RDS throughout the
remainder of this document.
4.17. Tuning
The tuning frequency is directly programmed using the
FM_TUNE_FREQ and AM_TUNE_FREQ commands.
The Si473x-D60 supports channel spacing steps of
10 kHz in FM mode and 1 kHz in AM mode.
4.18. Seek
The Si473x-D60 seek functionality is performed
completely on-chip and will search up or down the
selected frequency band for a valid channel. A valid
channel is qualified according to a series of
programmable signal indicators and thresholds. The
seek function can be made to stop at the band edge and
provide an interrupt, or wrap the band and continue
seeking until arriving at the original departure frequency.
The device sets interrupts with found valid stations or, if
the seek results in zero found valid stations, the device
indicates failure and again sets an interrupt. Refer to
“AN332: Si47xx Programming Guide”.
28
The Si473x-D60 uses RSSI, SNR, and AFC to qualify
stations. Most of these variables have programmable
thresholds for modifying the seek function according to
customer needs.
RSSI is employed first to screen all possible candidate
stations. SNR and AFC are subsequently used in
screening the RSSI qualified stations. The more
thresholds the system engages, the higher the
confidence that any found stations will indeed be valid
broadcast stations. The Si473x-D60 defaults set RSSI
to a mid-level threshold and add an SNR threshold set
to a level delivering acceptable audio performance. This
trade-off will eliminate very low RSSI stations while
keeping the seek time to acceptable levels. Generally,
the time to auto-scan and store valid channels for an
entire FM band with all thresholds engaged is very short
depending on the band content. Seek is initiated using
the FM_SEEK_START command. The RSSI, SNR, and
AFC threshold settings are adjustable using properties.
4.19. Reference Clock
The Si473x-D60 reference clock is programmable,
supporting RCLK frequencies listed in Table 12,
“Reference Clock and Crystal Characteristics,” on
page 18. Refer to Table 2, “DC Characteristics,” on
page 6 for switching voltage levels and Table 12 for
frequency tolerance information.
An onboard crystal oscillator is available to generate the
32.768 kHz reference when an external crystal and load
capacitors are provided. Refer to "2. Typical Application
Schematic" on page 20. This mode is enabled using the
POWER_UP command. Refer to “AN332: Si47xx
Programming Guide”.
The Si473x-D60 performance may be affected by data
activity on the SDIO bus when using the integrated
internal oscillator. SDIO activity results from polling the
tuner for status or communicating with other devices
that share the SDIO bus. If there is SDIO bus activity
while the Si473x-D60 is performing the seek/tune
function, the crystal oscillator may experience jitter,
which may result in mistunes, false stops, and/or lower
SNR.
For best seek/tune results, Silicon Laboratories
recommends that all SDIO data traffic be suspended
during Si473x-D60 seek and tune operations. This is
achieved by keeping the bus quiet for all other devices
on the bus, and delaying tuner polling until the tune or
seek operation is complete. The seek/tune complete
(STC) interrupt should be used instead of polling to
determine when a seek/tune operation is complete.
Rev. 1.1
Si4730/31/34/35-D60
4.20. Control Interface
A serial port slave interface is provided, which allows an
external controller to send commands to the Si473xD60 and receive responses from the device. The serial
port can operate in two bus modes: 2-wire mode and 3wire mode. The Si473x-D60 selects the bus mode by
sampling the state of the GPO1 and GPO2 pins on the
rising edge of RST. The GPO1 pin includes an internal
pull-up resistor, which is connected while RST is low,
and the GPO2 pin includes an internal pull-down
resistor, which is connected while RST is low.
Therefore, it is only necessary for the user to actively
drive pins which differ from these states. See Table 16.
Table 16. Bus Mode Select on Rising Edge of
RST
Bus Mode
2-Wire
3-Wire
GPO1
1
0 (must drive)
GPO2
0
0
After the rising edge of RST, the pins GPO1 and GPO2
are used as general purpose output (O) pins, as
described in Section “4.21. GPO Outputs”. In any bus
mode, commands may only be sent after VD and VA
supplies are applied.
In any bus mode, before sending a command or reading
a response, the user must first read the status byte to
ensure that the device is ready (CTS bit is high).
4.20.1. 2-Wire Control Interface Mode
When selecting 2-wire mode, the user must ensure that
SCLK is high during the rising edge of RST, and stays
high until after the first start condition. Also, a start
condition must not occur within 300 ns before the rising
edge of RST.
The 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 user 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 7-bit
device address, followed by a read/write bit (read = 1,
write = 0). The Si473x-D60 acknowledges the control
word by driving SDIO low on the next falling edge of
SCLK.
Although the Si473x-D60 will respond 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). Refer to “AN332: Si47xx Programming
Guide”
For write operations, the user then sends an 8-bit data
byte on SDIO, which is captured by the device on rising
edges of SCLK. The Si473x-D60 acknowledges each
data byte by driving SDIO low for one cycle, on the next
falling edge of SCLK. The user 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.
For read operations, after the Si473x-D60 has
acknowledged the control byte, it will drive an 8-bit data
byte on SDIO, changing the state of SDIO on the falling
edge of SCLK. The user 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, the
transaction will end. The user may read up to 16 data
bytes in a single 2-wire transaction. These bytes contain
the response data from the Si473x-D60.
A 2-wire transaction ends with the STOP condition,
which occurs when SDIO rises while SCLK is high.
For details on timing specifications and diagrams, refer
to Table 4, “2-Wire Control Interface Characteristics” on
page 9; Figure 2, “2-Wire Control Interface Read and
Write Timing Parameters,” on page 10, and Figure 3, “2Wire Control Interface Read and Write Timing Diagram,”
on page 10.
4.20.2. 3-Wire Control Interface Mode
When selecting 3-wire mode, the user must ensure that
a rising edge of SCLK does not occur within 300 ns
before the rising edge of RST.
The 3-wire bus mode uses the SCLK, SDIO, and SEN_
pins. A transaction begins when the user drives SEN
low. Next, the user drives a 9-bit control word on SDIO,
which is captured by the device on rising edges of
SCLK. The control word consists of a 9-bit device
address (A7:A5 = 101b), a read/write bit (read = 1, write
= 0), and a 5-bit register address (A4: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 turn-around. Next,
the Si473x-D60 will drive 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 user sets SEN high, 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.
For details on timing specifications and diagrams, refer
to Table 5, “3-Wire Control Interface Characteristics,” on
page 11; Figure 4, “3-Wire Control Interface Write
Rev. 1.1
29
Si4730/31/34/35-D60
Timing Parameters,” on page 11, and Figure 5, “3-Wire
Control Interface Read Timing Parameters,” on page 11.
4.21. GPO Outputs
The Si473x-D60 provides three general-purpose output
pins. The GPO pins can be configured to output a
constant low, constant high, or high-impedance. The
GPO pins can be reconfigured as specialized functions.
4.22. Firmware Upgrades
The Si473x-D60 contains on-chip program RAM to
accommodate minor changes to the firmware. This
allows Silicon Labs to provide future firmware updates
to optimize the characteristics of new radio designs and
those already deployed in the field.
4.23. Reset, Powerup, and Powerdown
Setting the RST pin low will disable analog and digital
circuitry, reset the registers to their default settings, and
disable the bus. Setting the RST pin high will bring the
device out of reset.
A powerdown mode is available to reduce power
consumption when the part is idle. Putting the device in
powerdown mode will disable analog and digital circuitry
while keeping the bus active.
4.25. Programming with Commands
To ease development time and offer maximum
customization, the Si473x-D60 provides a simple yet
powerful software interface to program the receiver. The
device is programmed using commands, arguments,
properties, and responses.
To perform an action, the user writes a command byte
and associated arguments, causing the chip to execute
the given command. Commands control an action such
as powerup the device, shut down the device, or tune to
a station. Arguments are specific to a given command
and are used to modify the command.
Properties are a special command argument used to
modify the default chip operation and are generally
configured immediately after powerup. Examples of
properties are de-emphasis level, RSSI seek threshold,
and soft mute attenuation threshold.
Responses provide the user information and are
echoed after a command and associated arguments are
issued. All commands provide a 1-byte status update,
indicating interrupt and clear-to-send status information.
For a detailed description of the commands and
properties for the Si473x-D60, see “AN332: Si47xx
Programming Guide.”
4.24. 2 V Operation (SSOP Only)
The Si473x-D60 is capable of operating down to 2 V as
the battery drains in an application. Any power-up or
reset is not guaranteed to work below the DC
characteristics defined in Table 2. This capability
enables a much longer run time in battery operated
devices.

Notes: General
1. All dimensions shown are in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise noted.
2. Dimensioning and Tolerancing is per the ANSI Y14.5M-1994 specification.
3. This Land Pattern Design is based on IPC-SM-782 guidelines.
4. All dimensions shown are at Maximum Material Condition (MMC). Least Material
Condition (LMC) is calculated based on a Fabrication Allowance of 0.05 mm.
Notes: Solder Mask Design
1. All 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.
Notes: Stencil Design
1. A stainless steel, laser-cut, and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls should
be used to assure good solder paste release.
2. The stencil thickness should be 0.125 mm (5 mils).
3. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1 for the perimeter pads.
4. A 1.45 x 1.45 mm square aperture should be used for the center pad. This provides
approximately 70% solder paste coverage on the pad, which is optimum to assure
correct component stand-off.
Notes: Card Assembly
1. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.
2. The recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020 specification
for Small Body Components.
