2. Overview
This manual describes the operation of the Silicon Labs Si4840/44-DEMO board, Rev 1.3, June 30, 2011. The
Silicon Laboratories Si4840/44 DEMO board is designed with the 24-pin SSOP-packaged Si4840/44 chip, the
revolutionary single chip AM/FM/SW receiver that integrates everything from antenna output to audio input and
allows use of common and economical potentiometers to do the frequency tuning. It provides a complete portable
analog tune digital display AM/FM/SW radio design. The LCD displays the tuning information. The Si4840/44DEMO is designed with 1-layer PCB, allowing the lowest cost without sacrificing the RF performance. The demo
board works with two AAA batteries and working voltage down to 2.0 V.

4. Operation
The Si4840/44-Demo Board, a complete analog tune and digital display radio, provides two major modes of
operation: Time Mode and FM/AM/SW Radio Mode.
4.1. Time Mode
Put 2 AAA batteries into the battery compartment. The board will automatically enter Time Mode and display the
time. The demo board display in Time Mode is illustrated in Figure 1.
4.1.1. Time Setting
The time default value is 00:00 and can be set to the correct time manually when needed.
1. In Time Mode, press the BASS/TMR button to enter the setting menu. The default is to set the minute item first.
Press this button again to select the hour item. The selected item flashes.
2. While the selected item is flashing, press the DOWN/VOL- and UP/VOL+ button to set the desired time.
3. When you have finished setting the time, press the BASS/TMR button to quit the setting menu. The MCU
automatically quits the setting menu if there is no operation within 2 seconds.
4.1.2. Alarm Setting
1. In Time Mode, press the TREBLE/AL button to enable or disable the alarm function, and enter the setting menu
automatically when the alarm is enabled. Once you have entered the setting menu, the default is to set the
minute item first. Press this button again to select the hour item. The selected item flashes.
2. While the selected item is flashing, press the DOWN/VOL- and UP/VOL+ button to set the desired time.
3. When you have finished the alarm setting, press the TREBLE/AL button to quit the setting menu. The MCU
automatically quits the setting menu if there is no operation within 2 seconds.
4. If the alarm is enabled and the alarm setting time is matched, the radio will be automatically turned on after the
buzzer sounds for 5 seconds.
5. The radio will be turned off and the demo board will go into sleep mode automatically if there is no operation on
the buttons within 15 minutes; if there is any operation on the buttons, the auto-sleep function will be disabled.
The radio keeps working throughout this time.
4.2. FM/AM/SW Radio Mode
In Time Mode, long press (hold time >1s) the POWER/BAND button or when the alarm time is reached, the device
will enter FM/AM/SW mode. The LCD displays the following information: band indicator, band frequency indicator,
stereo indicator, and sleep indicator in case radio is automatically turned on by the alarm.
The demo board display in FM/AM/SW Mode is illustrated in Figure 3.

Figure 3. LCD Display in FM Radio Mode
The demo board provides two methods to select the radio band. One is to use the slide switch (S2). The other is to
use the POWER/BAND push button. S14 determines which method is in use.
The demo board also provides two methods to set the band property. One is to use the tuner default values; the
other is to use the keypad to reconfigure the band property value via the MCU. S13 determines which method is in
use. If you use the tuner default values, the band property is fixed and cannot be reconfigured. Refer to section
“4.2.1. MCU Setting Band Property” for the operation details for setting the band property using the keypad.
To operate the demo board, follow these procedures:
1. According to the desired radio band selection method, set S14 to use the slide switch or push button.
2. According to the desired radio band property, set S13 to use tuner default values or reconfigure the band
property.
3. Hold the POWER/BAND push button (hold time >1s) or when the alarm time is reached, the device will enter
FM/AM/SW Radio Mode.
4. Use slide switch S2 or press the POWER/BAND push button to select the desired band.
5. Refer to section “4.2.1. MCU Setting Band Property” or section “4.2.2. MCU Setting Radio Working Mode” to
reconfigure the band property or radio working mode if necessary.
6. Rotate the turning wheel and find the desired radio station with the help of the LCD display and/or tuning
indicator D1.
7. Rotate the volume control wheel VR2 and/or press the DOWN/VOL- or UP/VOL+ button to get a comfortable
volume. Press the BASS/TMR or TREBLE/AL button to get the desired bass/treble level.
Notes:
For FM listening, the earphone cable must be connected to the board when S12 is set to HP ANT or an external
antenna must be connected to the BNC connector when S12 is set to BNC.
For AM listening, the ferrite antenna must be connected to the board and the S11 is set to Ferrite before turning
on the radio or switching the band to AM.

4.2.1. MCU Setting Band Property
The demo board provides the function that the band property can be set by MCU. The band property includes:
Band top
Band bottom
Blend mono (only for FM)
Blend stereo (only for FM)
Blend separation (only for FM)
De-emphasis (only for FM)
Channel Space (only for AM)
The setting menu is illustrated in Figure 4.
To set the band properties, follow these steps:
1. Press the SETTING button to enter the setting menu and select the item to be set. The selected item flashes for
1 second, then automatically switches to its current value.
2. While the value is flashing, press the DOWN/VOL- or UP/VOL+ button to set the desired value within 3
seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to finish setting the band properties.
4. When the band properties are set, the MCU automatically quits the setting menu if there is no operation within 3
seconds.
5. In FM working mode, press the DE/SPC button to set the De-emphasis to 50 or 75 µs.
6. IN AM working mode, press the DE/SPC button to set the Channel Space to 9 kHz or 10 kHz.
