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 M devices (active while RST is low) to pull GPO1 high and GPO2 low. tSRST RST 70% GPO1 70% GPO2/ INT tHRST 30% 30% 70% 30% Figure 1.

Functional Block Diagram The Si4736/37 and Si4738/39 are the industry's first fully integrated, 100% CMOS AM/FM/WB and FM/WB radio receiver ICs. Offering unmatched integration and PCB space savings, the Si4736/37/38/39 requires only two external components and less than 15 mm2 of board area, excluding the antenna inputs. The Si4736/37/38/39 AM/FM/WB radio provides the space savings and low power consumption necessary for portable devices while delivering the high performance and design simplicity desired for all AM/FM/WB solutions. Leveraging Skyworks' proven and patented Si4700/01 FM tuner's digital low intermediate frequency (low-IF) receiver architecture, the Si4736/37/38/39 delivers superior RF performance and interference rejection in both AM and FM bands. The high integration and complete system production test simplifies design-in, increases system quality, and improves manufacturability. 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 I2C-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 offers both the manufacturer and the end-user extensive programmability and flexibility in listening experience. The Si4737/39 incorporates a digital processor for the European Radio Data System (RDS) and the North American Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS), and includes all required symbol decoding, block synchronization, error detection, and error correction functions. Using this feature, the Si4737/39 enables broadcast data such as station identification and song name to be displayed to the user. 5.2. Operating Modes The Si4736/37/38/39 operates in an FM receive, an AM receive, or a weather band receive mode. In FM mode and WB mode, radio signals are received on FMI and processed by the FM front-end circuitry. In AM mode, radio signals are received on AMI and processed by the 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.

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-todigital 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. 5.4. AM Receiver 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. 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. 5.5. Weather Band Receiver 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 narrowband 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. 5.6. Digital Audio Interface (Si4737/39 Only) The digital audio interface operates in slave mode and supports three different audio data formats: I2S  Left-Justified  DSP Mode  5.6.1. Audio Data Formats In I2S 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. 20 Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • sales@skyworksinc.com • www.skyworksinc.com Rev. 1.0 • Skyworks Proprietary Information • Products and Product Information are Subject to Change Without Notice • November 1, 2021 Si4736/37/38/39-C40 5.6.2.

Stereo Audio Processing Modulation Level 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 13 below. various regions. The de-emphasis time constant is programmable to 50 or 75 µs and is set by the FM_DEEMPHASIS property. 5.9. Stereo DAC 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. 5.10. Soft Mute Mono Audio Left + Right 0 Stereo Pilot 15 19 23 Stereo Audio Left - Right 38 RDS/ RBDS 53 57 Frequency (kHz) Figure 13. MPX Signal Spectrum 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. 5.7.2. Stereo-Mono Blending 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 operation can be forced with the FM_BLEND_MONO_THRESHOLD property. 5.8. De-emphasis Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis is a technique used by 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 transmitted, a pre-emphasis filter is applied to 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 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. 5.11. RDS/RBDS Processor (Si4737/39 Only) The Si4737/39 implements an RDS/RBDS* processor for symbol decoding, block synchronization, error detection, and error correction. 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. 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 remainder of this document. 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, 25 kHz in WB mode, and 1 kHz in AM mode. 22 Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • sales@skyworksinc.com • www.skyworksinc.com Rev. 1.0 • Skyworks Proprietary Information • Products and Product Information are Subject to Change Without Notice • November 1, 2021 Si4736/37/38/39-C40 5.13. 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 16). 5.14. Reference Clock The Si4736/37/38/39 reference clock is programmable, supporting RCLK frequencies in Table 13. Refer to Table 3, “DC Characteristics,” on page 4 for switching voltage levels and Table 9, “FM Receiver Characteristics,” on page 11 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 (QFN)" on page 16. This mode is enabled using the POWER_UP command. Refer to Table 15, “Selected Si473x Commands,” on page 26. 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. For best seek/tune results, Skyworks 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. 5.15. 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 14. Table 14. Bus Mode Select on Rising Edge of RST Bus Mode GPO1 GPO2 2-Wire 1 0 SPI 1 1 (must drive) 3-Wire 0 (must drive) 0 After the rising edge of RST, the pins GPO1 and GPO2 are used as general purpose output (O) pins, as described in Section “5.16. GPO Outputs”. In any bus mode, commands may only be sent after VIO and VDD 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). 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 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. 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. 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.

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. 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 6; Figure 2, “2-Wire Control Interface Read and Write Timing Parameters,” on page 7, and Figure 3, “2Wire Control Interface Read and Write Timing Diagram,” on page 7. 5.15.2. 3-Wire Control Interface Mode 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. 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 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. 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. 5.15.3. SPI Control Interface Mode 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 rising edges of SCLK. The control byte must have one of five values:  0x48 = write a command (controller drives 8 additional bytes on SDIO).  0x80 = read a response (device drives 1additional byte on SDIO).  0xC0 = read a response (device drives 16 additional bytes on SDIO).  0xA0 = read a response (device drives 1 additional byte on GPO1).  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. 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. 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 9. For details on timing specifications and diagrams, refer to Table 6, “3-Wire Control Interface Characteristics,” on page 8; Figure 4, “3-Wire Control Interface Write Timing Parameters,” on page 8, and Figure 5, “3-Wire Control Interface Read Timing Parameters,” on page 8. 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. 5.16.

Firmware Upgrades 5.19. Programming with Commands The Si4736/37/38/39 contains on-chip program RAM to accommodate minor changes to the firmware. This allows Skyworks to provide future firmware updates to optimize the characteristics of new radio designs and those already deployed in the field. To ease development time and offer maximum customization, the Si4736/37/38/39 provides a simple yet powerful software interface to program the receiver. The device is programmed using commands, arguments, properties, and responses. 5.18. Reset, Powerup, and Powerdown 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 partial list of commands is available in Table 15, “Selected Si473x Commands,” on page 26. 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 powerdown mode is available to reduce power consumption when the part is idle. Putting the device in powerdown mode will disable analog and digital circuitry while keeping the bus active. 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, and soft mute attenuation threshold. A partial list of properties is available in Table 16, “Selected Si473x Properties,” on page 27. Responses provide the user information and are echoed after a command and associated arguments are issued. All commands provide a 1-byte status update, indicating interrupt and clear-to-send status information.

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. 36 Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • sales@skyworksinc.com • www.skyworksinc.com Rev. 1.0 • Skyworks Proprietary Information • Products and Product Information are Subject to Change Without Notice • November 1, 2021 Si4736/37/38/39-C40 13.
