Si473x-B20
1. Product Overview
The Si473x receivers are the industry's first fully-integrated multiband radio receiver ICs from antenna input to
audio output. They require minimal external components with no factory alignment. The Si473x receivers reduce
the receiver footprint by >90% versus traditional AM/FM solutions. The Si473x also offer best-in-class performance
with the most features. The high integration and complete system production test simplifies design-in, increases
system quality, and improves manufacturability.
The Si473x receivers include advanced seek algorithms, adjustable soft mute, auto-calibrated digital tuning, and
FM stereo processing. In addition, the Si473x ICs provide a programmable reference clock and an I2C-compatible
2-wire control interface.
The Si4731/35/37/39 incorporates a digital processor for the European Radio Data System (RDS) and the North
American Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS), including all required symbol decoding, block synchronization,
error detection, and error correction functions. Using these features, the Si4731/35/37/39 enables broadcast data
such as station identification and song name to be displayed to the end user.

Notes:
1. Permanent device damage may occur if the above Absolute Maximum Ratings are exceeded. Functional operation
should be restricted to the conditions as specified in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure beyond
recommended operating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2. The Si473x devices are high-performance RF integrated circuits with certain pins having an ESD rating of < 2 kV
HBM. Handling and assembly of these devices should only be done at ESD-protected workstations.
3. For input pins SCLK, SEN, SDIO, RST, RCLK, DCLK, DFS, GPO1, GPO2, and GPO3.
4. At RF input pins, FMI and AMI.

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. 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 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 Si473x 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.

between 31.130 kHz and 40 MHz that are not supported. See “AN332: Si47xx Programming Guide,” Table 6 for more
details.

Notes:
1. Place C1 close to VDD pin.
2. All grounds connect directly to GND plane on PCB.
3. Pins 1 and 20 are no connects, leave floating.
4. To ensure proper operation and receiver performance, follow the guidelines in “AN383: Si47xx Antenna, Schematic,
Layout and Design Guidelines.” Silicon Laboratories will evaluate schematics and layouts for qualified customers.
5. Pin 2 connects to the FM antenna interface and pin 4 connects to the AM antenna interface.
6. RFGND should be locally isolated from GND.
7. Place Si473x as close as possible to antenna jack and keep the FMI and AMI traces as short as possible.

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-020C
specification for Small Body Components.
