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 or SPI modes, 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 Mdevices (active while RST is low) to pull GPO1 high and  
GPO2 low.

1. When VIO = 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 Si4736/37/38/39 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.

The  
Si4736/37/38/39 integrates a low noise amplifier (LNA)  
supporting the worldwide FM broadcast band (76 to 108  
MHz). An AGC circuit controls the gain of the LNA to  
optimize sensitivity and rejection of strong interferers.  
For testing purposes, the AGC can be disabled. Refer to  
Section "5. Commands and Properties" on page 25 for  
additional programming and configuration information.  
An image-reject 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 Si4736/37/38/39 to perform channel  
selection, FM demodulation, and stereo audio  
processing to achieve superior performance compared  
to traditional analog architectures.  
The Si4736/37/38/39 supports weather band reception  
from 162.4 to 162.55 MHz. The highly integrated  
Si4736/37/38/39 meets NOAA specification, receives all  
seven NOAA specified frequencies, implements narrow-  
band FM de-emphasis, and supports 1050 Hz alert tone  
detection. In addition, the Si4736/37/38/39 provides  
advanced features not available on conventional radios,  
such as an AFC and a dynamic channel bandwidth filter.  
The AFC locks on to the strongest signal within a  
narrow, adjustable frequency range to compensate for  
any potential frequency errors such as crystal tolerance  
or transmit frequency errors. The AFC ensures the  
channel filter is always centered on the desired channel  
providing optimal reception. The dynamic channel  
bandwidth feature utilizes a wide filter in strong signal  
conditions to provide best sound quality and a narrower  
filter in weak conditions to provide best sensitivity.

Si4736/37/38/39-B20  
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.  
4.6. Digital Audio Interface (Si4737/39  
Only)  
The digital audio interface operates in slave mode and  
supports three different audio data formats:  
2
I S  
Left-Justified  
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.  
DSP Mode  
4.6.1. Audio Data Formats  
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.  
4.6.2. Audio Sample Rates  
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.  
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 output of the FM demodulator is a stereo Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis is a technique used by  
multiplexed (MPX) signal. The MPX standard was FM broadcasters to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of

accentuate the high audio frequencies. The  
Si4736/37/38/39 incorporates a de-emphasis filter  
which attenuates high frequencies to restore a flat  
frequency response. Two time constants are used in  
various regions. The de-emphasis time constant is  
programmable to 50 or 75 µs and is set by the  
FM_DEEMPHASIS property.

4.7.1. Stereo Decoder  
4.10. Soft Mute  
The Si4736/37/38/39'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.  
The Si4737/39 uses frequency information from the  
19 kHz stereo pilot to recover the 57 kHz RDS/RBDS  
signal.  
The soft mute feature is available to attenuate the audio  
outputs and minimize audible noise in very weak signal  
conditions. The softmute attenuation level is adjustable  
using the FM_SOFT_MUTE_MAX_ATTENUATION and  
AM_SOFT_MUTE_MAX_ATTENUATION properties.  
4.11. RDS/RBDS Processor  
(Si4737/39 Only)  
The Si4737/39 implements an RDS/RBDS* processor  
for symbol decoding, block synchronization, error  
detection, and error correction.  
4.7.2. Stereo-Mono Blending  
The Si4737/39 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.  
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. Stereo/mono status can be  
monitored with the FM_RSQ_STATUS command. Mono

which may result in mistunes, false stops, and/or lower  
SNR.  
4.12. 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 AFC servo loop  
during reception. The tuning frequency can be directly  
For best seek/tune results, Silicon Laboratories  
recommends that all SDIO data traffic be suspended  
during Si4736/37/38/39 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 STC (seek/tune  
complete) interrupt should be used instead of polling to  
determine when a seek/tune operation is complete.  
programmed  
using  
the  
WB_TUNE_FREQ,  
FM_TUNE_FREQ, and AM_TUNE_FREQ commands.  
The Si4736/37/38/39 supports channel spacing of 25 kHz  
in WB mode; 50, 100, or 200 kHz in FM mode; and 9 or  
10 kHz in AM mode.  
4.15. Control Interface  
A serial port slave interface is provided, which allows an  
external controller to send commands to the  
Si4736/37/38/39 and receive responses from the  
device. The serial port can operate in three bus modes:  
2-wire mode, 3-wire mode, or SPI mode. The  
Si4736/37/38/39 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 13.  
4.13. Seek  
Seek tuning will search up or down for a valid channel.  
Valid channels are found when the receive signal  
strength indicator (RSSI) and the signal-to-noise ratio  
(SNR) values exceed the set threshold. Using the SNR  
qualifier rather than solely relying on the more  
traditional RSSI qualifier can reduce false stops and  
increase the number of valid stations detected. Seek is  
initiated  
using  
the  
FM_SEEK_START  
and  
AM_SEEK_START commands. The RSSI and SNR  
threshold settings are adjustable using properties (see  
Table 15).  
Table 13. Bus Mode Select on Rising Edge of  
RST  
Two seek options are available. The device will either  
wrap or stop at the band limits. If the seek operation is  
unable to find a channel, the device will indicate failure  
and return to the channel selected before the seek  
operation began.

supporting RCLK frequencies in Table 12. Refer to  
Table 3, “DC Characteristics,” on page 5 for switching  
After the rising edge of RST, the pins GPO1 and GPO2

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).  
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 16. This mode is enabled using the  
POWER_UP command, see Table 14, “Si473x  
Command Summary,” on page 25.  
4.15.1. 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 Si4736/37/38/39 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 Si4736/37/38/39 is performing the seek/tune  
function, the crystal oscillator may experience jitter,  
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

For write operations, the system controller must drive

on SDIO after the control byte. The data is captured by  
the device on the rising edge of SCLK.  
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 read operations, the controller must read exactly 1  
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.  
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,

to Figure 6 and Figure 7 on page 10.  
The device is programmed using commands,  
arguments, properties and responses.  
4.16. GPO Outputs  
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 power up 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 Table 14, “Si473x Command  
Summary,” on page 25.  
The Si4736/37/38/39 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.  
GPO2/INT can be configured to provide interrupts and  
GPO3 can be configured to provide external crystal  
support or as DCLK in digital audio output mode. In  
digital output mode (Si4737/39 only), pin 16 and pin 17  
can be configured as DFS and DOUT, respectively.  
Properties are a special command argument used to  
modify the default chip operation and are generally  
configured immediately after power up. Examples of  
properties are de-emphasis level, RSSI seek threshold,  
and soft mute attenuation threshold. A complete list of  
properties is available in Table 15, “Si473x Property  
Summary,” on page 26.  
4.17. Firmware Upgrades  
The Si4736/37/38/39 contains on-chip program RAM to  
accommodate minor changes to the firmware. This  
allows Silicon Laboratories to provide future firmware  
updates to optimize the characteristics of new radio  
designs and those already deployed in the field.  
Responses provide the user information and are  
echoed after a command and associated arguments are  
issued. All commands provide a one-byte status update  
indicating interrupt and clear-to-send status information.  
For a detailed description of the commands and  
properties for the Si4736/37/38/39, see “AN332:  
Universal Programming Guide.”  
4.18. Reset, Power Up, and Power Down  
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 power down mode is available to reduce power  
consumption when the part is idle. Putting the device in  
power down mode will disable analog and digital  
circuitry while keeping the bus active.

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 0.125mm (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-020C  
specification for Small Body Components.
