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.

AM front-end circuitry. In addition to the receiver mode,  
there is a clocking mode to choose to clock the  
Si4736/37/38/39 from a reference clock or crystal. On  
the Si4731, 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. The receiver mode and the audio  
output mode are set by the POWER_UP command  
listed in Table 15, “Selected Si473x Commands,” on  
page 27.  
The Si4736/37/38/39 is a feature-rich solution including  
1050 Hz tone detection, advanced seek algorithms, soft  
mute, auto-calibrated digital tuning, and FM stereo  
processing. In addition, the Si4736/37/38/39 provides  
analog and digital audio outputs and a programmable  
reference clock. The device supports I C-compatible, 2-  
wire control interface, SPI, and a Si4700/01 backwards-  
compatible, 3-wire control interface.

The Si4736/37/38/39 utilizes digital processing to  
achieve high fidelity, optimal performance, and design  
flexibility. The chip provides excellent pilot rejection,  
selectivity, and unmatched audio performance, and

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.  
5.3. FM Receiver  
The Si4736/37/38/39 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  
Si4736/37/38/39 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 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.  
5.6. Digital Audio Interface  
(Si4737/39 Only)  
The digital audio interface operates in slave mode and  
supports three different audio data formats:

Left-Justified  
DSP Mode  
5.4. AM Receiver  
5.6.1. Audio Data Formats

In I S mode, by default the MSB is captured on the  
The highly-integrated Si4736/37/38/39 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 optimize  
sensitivity and rejection of strong interferers allowing  
better reception of weak stations.  
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.  
The Si4736/37/38/39 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.  
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.  
5.5. Weather Band Receiver  
The number of audio bits can be configured for 8, 16,  
20, or 24 bits.  
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.  
5.6.2. Audio Sample Rates  
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.

FIFO threshold has been met.  
5.7.1. Stereo Decoder  
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 Si4731 uses frequency information from the 19 kHz  
stereo pilot to recover the 57 kHz RDS/RBDS signal.  
The Si4737/39 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.  
*Note: RDS/RBDS is referred to only as RDS throughout the

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  
5.12. Tuning  
The tuning frequency is directly programmed using the  
FM_TUNE_FREQ, WB_TUNE_FREQ, and  
AM_TUNE_FREQ commands. The Si4736/37/38/39  
supports channel spacing steps of 10 kHz in FM mode,

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

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 14.

information.  
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 (QFN)" on page 17. This mode is enabled  
using the POWER_UP command. Refer to Table 15,  
“Selected Si473x Commands,” on page 27.  
5.15.1. 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,  
which may result in mistunes, false stops, and/or lower  
SNR.  
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 Si4736/37/38/39 acknowledges the  
control word by driving SDIO low on the next falling  
edge of SCLK.  
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 seek/tune  
complete (STC) interrupt should be used instead of  
polling to determine when a seek/tune operation is  
complete.  
Although the Si4736/37/38/39 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.  
5.15. Control Interface  
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 Si4736/37/38/39 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.  
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  
24  
Rev. 1.0  
Si4736/37/38/39-C40  
For read operations, after the Si4736/37/38/39 has 5.15.3. SPI Control Interface Mode  
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 Si4736/37/38/39.  
When selecting SPI mode, the user must ensure that a  
rising edge of SCLK does not occur within 300 ns  
before the rising edge of RST.  
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  
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 rising edges of SCLK. The control byte must have one

0x80 = read a response (device drives 1additional  
byte on SDIO).  
5.15.2. 3-Wire Control Interface Mode  
0xC0 = read a response (device drives 16 additional  
bytes on SDIO).  
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.  
0xA0 = read a response (device drives 1 additional  
byte on GPO1).  
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).  
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 seven arguments)  
on SDIO after the control byte. The data is captured by  
the device on the rising edge of SCLK.  
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,  
the Si4736/37/38/39 will drive the 16-bit read data word  
serially on SDIO, changing the state of SDIO on each  
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.  
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 Figure 6 and Figure 7 on page 10.  
5.16. GPO Outputs  
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.

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.
