Overview The Skyworks Solutions Si4731-DEMO board provides a complete portable AM/FM radio design with numerous enhanced features that demonstrate the capabilities of the Skyworks Solutions AM/FM and MCU product families. The Si4731-DEMO comes in a 3x3 mm 20-pin QFN package and is layout compatible with the entire Skyworks Solutions Si47xx radio family of FM receivers, transmitters, and transceivers. The host MCU is a Skyworks Solutions C8051F930 with internal oscillator and built-in DC-DC converter. A 79 x 101 dot matrix LCD provides the flexibility to display a variety of system information including RDS. The demo board can work with either one AA battery using the dc-dc converter of the C8051F930 MCU or three AAA batteries.

Operation This section describes the operating modes of the Si4731-DEMO board. The board provides two major modes of operation: Calendar and AM/FM radio. 4.1. Calendar Mode Upon power on, the board automatically enters the Calendar Mode and displays the following information: Year-month-day Hour-minute Day of the week Battery voltage The demo board display in Calendar Mode is illustrated in Figure 1. In Calendar Mode, the SET/9 key is used to enter the setup menu. The M+/3 and M-/7 keys are used to select different adjustable items (hour, minutes, year, day, month). The UP/4 and DOWN/8 keys are used to set the value for each selected item. The Calendar Mode date and time can also be set automatically with RDS Current Time (CT) information from a broadcast radio station as described in the following section. 4.2. AM/FM Radio Mode From Calendar Mode, the POWER button is used to enter AM/FM Radio Mode which displays the following information: 1. Signal SNR indicator 2. Signal RSSI indicator 3. Band frequency indicator 4. Battery voltage indicator 5. Band frequency unit indicator 6. Stereo/mono indicator 7. Volume indicator 8. Band indicator 9. RDS information The demo board display in AM/FM Radio Mode is illustrated in Figure 3 and Figure 4: 6 1 3 2 4 7 5 8 9 Figure 3.

LCD Display in AM Radio Mode 4.2.1. Band Selection In Radio Mode, the BANDS/0 key is used to switch between the AM and FM bands. 4.2.2. Time/Date Auto Set Many radio stations broadcast RDS data including clock/time CT information. The AM/FM demo board can capture this information to automatically set the time and date. In FM Mode, when RDS CT information is received, the CT indicator will be displayed. The MEM/AL/1 button can be used to update the calendar date and time with the CT information. CT information is not available on all radio stations and is normally sent only once per minute. 4.2.3. Alternative Frequency (AF) Switching The AM/FM demo board monitors RDS for alternate frequency (AF) information. When RDS alternative frequency information is received, the AF indicator will be displayed. If the signal quality of the currently tuned station degrades, the radio will automatically change to one of the alternative frequency stations. 4.2.4. Tune/Seek In Radio Mode, pressing the UP/4 or DOWN/8 button for less than 0.5 s will tune the frequency by the preset step size. Holding the button for longer than 0.5 s but less than 3 s will perform a station seek. 4.2.5. Scan In Radio Mode, the MSCAN/5 button is used to scan for all valid stations in the selected band and will automatically save them into preset selections. After a scan operation, the M+/3 and M-/7 keys will cycle through the preset station list. Scan operation can be aborted by pressing MSCAN/5 again, or by pressing the UP/4 or DOWN/8 key. 4.2.6. Parameter Settings In Radio Mode, the SET/9 key is used to select the parameter setup menu as illustrated in Figure 5 and Figure 6. The M+/3 or M-/7 keys will cycle through the available items in the menu. The UP/4 or DOWN/8 keys are used to set the desired value for each item. Select “Yes” under “Factory Def” to go back to the factory default settings for all items.

LCD Display in FM Setup Menu Figure 6. LCD Display in AM Setup Menu 4.2.7. Digit Keys In Radio Mode, the FUNC/DIGIT key is used to switch the keypad to digital input mode. A “Dig” indicator is displayed in this mode and all keys marked with a digit are used to input a channel frequency. A frequency is considered valid if it lies within the band limits. If a non-valid frequency is entered, the closest band limit will be entered and displayed. 4.2.8. Volume The VOL+/2 or VOL–/6 keys are used to adjust the volume up or down. The board audio output will be muted when volume is at the lowest setting. 4.2.9. AM Channel Spacing Auto Set In AM Mode, the MEM/AL/1 key will automatically detect and set the channel spacing to either 9 or 10 kHz. The detection criterion determines which channel spacing results in more valid stations during a band scan. The number for the detection threshold is adjustable as described in Table 2. This operation can be aborted by pressing the MEM/AL/1 key again. 6 Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • sales@skyworksinc.com • www.skyworksinc.com Rev. 0.1 • Skyworks Proprietary Information • Products and Product Information are Subject to Change Without Notice • October 4, 2021 Si4731-DEMO 5. Human interface There are 12 keys for controlling the demo board as shown in Figure 7: MEM/AL/1 VOL+/2 M+/3 MSCAN/5 VOL-/6 M-/7 BANDS/0 FUNC/DIGIT SET/9 UP/4 DOWN/8 POWER Figure 7. Human Interface Keys Each key can have a different function under each operating condition: Calendar/Powerdown Mode: Radio function is disabled. LCD displays Calendar. Buttons can be used to set time, etc. Radio AM/FM Mode: Tuner IC works in powerup mode (FM or AM). Radio function is enabled. LCD displays the radio station parameters. Buttons are used to adjust radio settings. Digital Input Mode: Tuner IC works in powerup mode (FM or AM). Radio function is enabled. LCD displays the radio station parameters. The buttons are used for direct digit input of station frequencies. The functions of the buttons are summarized in Table 1: Table 1.
