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 high  
impedance, then minimum tSRST is 100 µs to provide time for on-chip 1 Mdevices (active while RST is low) to pull  
GPO1 high and GPO2 low.

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 Si4706 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.

environments while allowing superb selectivity and inter-

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 detailed in “AN322:  
Si47xx Programming Guide.” 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.  
Stereo/mono status can be monitored with the  
FM_RSQ_STATUS command.  
The part supports the worldwide FM broadcast band (64  
to 108 MHz) with channel spacings of 50–200 kHz. The  
low-IF architecture utilizes a single converter stage and  
digitizes the signal using a high-resolution analog-to-  
digital converter. The audio output can be directed  
either to an external headphone amplifier via analog  
in/out or to other system ICs through digital audio  
2
interface (I S).  
4.3. Stereo Audio Processing  
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 8.  
4.4. Received Signal Qualifiers  
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 Si4706-D50 monitors and provides  
indicators of the signal quality, allowing the host  
processor to perform additional processing if required  
by the customer. The Si4706-D50 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

4.5. De-emphasis  
4.10. Seek  
Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis is a technique used by The Si4706 seek functionality is performed completely  
FM broadcasters to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of on-chip and will search up or down the selected  
FM receivers by reducing the effects of high-frequency frequency band for a valid channel. A valid channel is  
interference and noise. When the FM signal is qualified according to a series of programmable signal  
transmitted,  
a
pre-emphasis filter is applied to indicators and thresholds. The seek function can be

incorporates a de-emphasis filter that attenuates high or wrap the band and continue seeking until arriving at  
frequencies to restore a flat frequency response. Two the original departure frequency. The device sets

and is set by the FM_DEEMPHASIS property.  
and again sets an interrupt. Refer to “AN332: Si47xx  
Programming Guide.”  
4.6. Stereo DAC  
The Si4706-D50 uses RSSI, SNR, and AFC to qualify  
stations. Most of these variables have programmable  
thresholds for modifying the seek function according to  
customer needs.  
High-fidelity stereo digital-to-analog converters (DACs)  
drive analog audio signals onto the LOUT and ROUT  
pins. The audio output may be muted. Volume is  
adjusted digitally with the RX_VOLUME property.  
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; however, the more challenging  
levels the thresholds are set to, the longer the overall  
seek time as more stations and more qualifiers will be  
assessed. The Si4706-D50 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.  
4.7. 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 decay rates.  
4.8. 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 the default audio bandwidth of 15 kHz.  
Seek is initiated using the FM_SEEK_START  
command. The RSSI and SNR threshold settings are  
adjustable using properties.  
4.9. Tuning  
The frequency synthesizer uses Silicon Laboratories’  
proven technology, including a completely integrated  
VCO. The frequency synthesizer generates the  
quadrature local oscillator signal used to downconvert  
the RF input to a low intermediate frequency. The VCO  
frequency is locked to the reference clock and adjusted  
with an automatic frequency control (AFC) servo loop  
during reception. The tuning frequency can be directly  
programmed using the FM_TUNE_FREQ. The Si4706  
supports channel spacing of 50, 100, or 200 kHz in FM  
mode.

4.11.2. Audio Sample Rates  
4.11. Digital Audio Interface  
The device supports a number of industry-standard  
sampling rates including 32, 40, 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.  
The digital audio interface operates in slave mode and  
supports a variety of MSB-first audio data formats  
including I S and left-justified modes. The interface has  
2
three pins: digital data input (DIN), digital frame  
synchronization input (DFS), and  
a
digital bit  
synchronization input clock (DCLK). The Si4706  
supports a number of industry-standard sampling rates  
including 32, 40, 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.  
4.11.1. Audio Data Formats  
The digital audio interface operates in slave mode and  
supports three different audio data formats:  
2
I S  
Left-Justified  
DSP Mode  
2
In I S 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.

Figure 14. Si4706 Preliminary Decoder Performance  
The Si4706 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 Si4706 is performing the seek/tune function,  
the crystal oscillator may experience jitter, which may  
result in mistunes, false stops, and/or lower SNR.  
4.14. Reference Clock  
The Si4706 reference clock is programmable,  
supporting RCLK frequencies in Table 10. Refer to  
Table 3, “DC Characteristics” on page 5 for switching  
voltage levels and Table 10, “Reference Clock and  
Crystal Characteristics” on page 14 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 15. This mode is enabled using the  
POWER_UP command. Refer to Refer to “AN332:  
Si47xx Programming Guide”.  
For best seek/tune results, Silicon Laboratories  
recommends that all SDIO data traffic be suspended  
during Si4706 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.

4.15.1. 2-Wire Control Interface Mode  
4.15. Control Interface  
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.  
A serial port slave interface is provided, which allows an  
external controller to send commands to the Si4706 and  
receive responses from the device. The serial port can  
operate in two bus modes: 2-wire mode and 3-wire  
mode. The Si4706 selects the bus mode by sampling  
the state of the GPO1 and GPO2 pins on the rising The 2-wire bus mode uses only the SCLK and SDIO  
edge of RST. The GPO1 pin includes an internal pull-up pins for signaling. A transaction begins with the START

device address, followed by a read/write bit (read = 1,  
write = 0). The Si4706 acknowledges the control word  
by driving SDIO low on the next falling edge of SCLK.  
Table 11. Bus Mode Select on Rising Edge of  
RST  
Although the Si4706 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). When SEN = 0, the 7-bit device address is  
0010001b. When SEN = 1, the address is 1100011b.  
Bus Mode

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 Si4706 acknowledges each data  
byte by driving SDIO low for one cycle, on the next  
DD 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.  
After the rising edge of RST, the pins GPO1 and GPO2  
are used as general purpose output (O) pins as  
described in Section “4.16. GPO Outputs”. In any bus  
mode, commands may only be sent after V and V  
IO  
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).  
For read operations, after the Si4706 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 Si4706.  
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 5, “2-Wire Control Interface Characteristics” on  
page 7; Figure 2, “2-Wire Control Interface Read and  
Write Timing Parameters,” on page 8, and Figure 3, “2-

4.17. Reset, Powerup, and Powerdown  
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.  
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

4.18. Programming with Commands  
address (A7:A5 = 101b), a read/write bit (read = 1, write  
= 0), and a 5-bit register address (A4:A0).  
To ease development time and offer maximum  
customization, the Si4706 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. A complete list of  
commands is available in “AN332: Si47xx Programming  
Guide”.  
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 Si4706 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.  
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,

description of the commands and properties for the  
Si4706, see “AN332: Si47xx Programming Guide”.  
4.16. GPO Outputs  
The Si4706 provides three general-purpose output pins.  
The GPO pins can be configured to output a constant  
low, constant high, or high-Z. The GPO pins are  
multiplexed with the bus mode pins or DCLK,  
depending on the application schematic of the device.  
GPO2/INT can be configured to provide interrupts for  
seek and tune complete, receive signal quality, and  
RDS.

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.
