FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The QN8035 is a high performance, low power, single chip FM receiver IC that supports worldwide FM broadcast band (60

QN8035 Functional Blocks
The QN8035 integrates FM receive functions, including
RF front-end circuits (LNA, Mixer and channel selective
filter etc), a fully digitized FM demodulator, MPX
decoder, de-emphasis and audio processing (SM, HCC,
and SNC). Advanced digital architecture enables
superior receiver sensitivity and crystal clear audio. The
QN8035's Auto Seek function enables automatically
selecting the channel of better sound quality.
The QN8035 supports a small footprint, high level of
integration and multiple clock frequencies. These
features make it easy to be integrated into a variety of
small form-factor, low-power portable applications. Low
phase noise digital synthesizers and extensive on-chip
auto calibration ensures robust and consistent
performance over temperature and process variations. An
integrated voltage regulator enables direct connection to a
Li-ion battery and provides high PSRR for superior noise
suppression. A low-power IDLE and Standby mode
extends battery life.
3.1 FM Receiver
Longtern
Voltage
Regulator
DSP FSM
The QN8035 receiver uses a highly digitized low-IF
architecture, allowing for the elimination of external
components and factory adjustments.
The received RF signal is first amplified by an integrated
LNA and then down converted to an intermediate
frequency (IF) via a quadrature mixer. To improve image
rejection (IMR), the quadrature mixer can be programmed
to be at high-side or low-side injection. An integrated IF
channel filter rejects out-of-channel interference signals.
AGC is also performed simultaneously to optimize the
signal to noise ratio as well as linearity and interference
rejection. The filtered signal is digitized and further
processed with a digital FM demodulator and MPX
decoder. Audio processing is then performed based on
received signal quality and channel condition. Two highquality audio DACs are integrated on chip to drive the
audio output. The RDS signal will also be decoded if RDS
reception is enabled.
A receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) is provided and
can be read from RSSIDB [7:0]. Figure 4 shows the curve
of RSSI vs. different RF input levels. Auto seek utilizes
RSSI to search for available channels.

3.2 Audio Processing
The MPX signal after FM demodulation is comprised of
left and right channel signal, pilot and RDS signal in the
following way:
m(t ) L(t ) R(t ) L(t ) R(t ) sin(4 ft 20 ) sin(2 ft 0 ) d (t )sin(6 ft 30 )
Here, L(t) and R(t) correspond to the audio signals on the
left and right channels respectively, f = 19 kHz, is the
initial phase of pilot tone and is the magnitude of the
pilot tone, and d(t) is the RDS signal. In stereo mode,
both L and R are recovered by de-MPX. In mono mode,
only the L+R portion of audio signal exists. L(t) and R(t)
are recovered by de-MPX.

Longtern
The following figure is measured at FM=88MHz. The RSSI Curve is not varied by FM frequency.
RSSI vs RF Input
In receive mode, stereo noise cancellation (SNC) for FM
only, high cut control (HCC) and soft mute (SM) are
supported. Stereo noise suppression is achieved by
gradually combining the left and right signals to be a
mono signal as the received signal quality degrades.
SNC, HCC and SM are controlled by SNR and multipath
channel estimation results. The three functions will be
archived automatically in the device.
The QN8035 has an integrated mono or stereo audio
status indicator. There is also a Read ST_MO_RX
(Reg04h [0]) bit to get status. In addition, there also is a
force mono function to constrain output mono in
Reg00h[2].
Two selectable de-emphasis time constants (75us and
50us) supported.

The audio output can be muted with the MUTE_EN

internally generated 1KHz tone whenever the RFI has a

The QN8035 supports RDS/RBDS data reception in FM
mode, including station ID, Meta data, TMC information,
etc. The integrated RDS processor performs all symbol

4 CONTROL INTERFACE PROTOCOL
The QN8035 supports the standard I2C serial interfaces. At power-on, all register bits are set to default values.
I2C Serial Control Interface
QN8035 provides an I2C-compatible serial interface. It consists of two wires; serial bi-directional data line (SDA) and input
clock line (SCL). It operates as a slave on the bus and the slave address is 0010000. The data transfer rate on the bus is up to
400 Kbit/s.
SDA must be stable during the high period of SCL, except for start and stop conditions. SDA can only change with SCL
being low. A high-to-low transition on SDA while SCL is high indicates a start condition. A low-to-high transition on SDA
while SCL is high indicates a stop condition.
Longtern
An I2C master initiates a data transfer by generating a start condition followed by the QN8035 slave address, MSB first,
followed by a 0 to indicate a write cycle. After receiving an ACK from the QN8035 (by pulling SDA low), the master sends
the sub-address of the register, or the first of a block of registers it wants to write, followed by one or more bytes of data,
MSB first. The QN8035 acknowledges each byte after completion of each transfer. The I 2C master terminates the write
operation by generating a stop condition (P).
The read operation consists of two phases. The first phase is the address phase. In this phase, an I 2C master initiates a write
operation to the QN8035 by generating a start condition (S) followed by the QN8035 slave address, MSB first, followed by
a 0 to indicate a write cycle. After receiving ACK from the QN8035, the master sends the sub-address of the register or the
first of a block of registers it wants to read. After the cycle is acknowledged, the master terminates the cycle immediately by
generating a stop condition (P).
The second phase is the data phase. In this phase, an I2C master initiates a read operation to the QN8035 by generating a
start condition followed by the QN8035 slave address, MSB first, followed by a 1 to indicate a read cycle. After an
acknowledge from the QN8035, the I2C master receives one or more bytes of data from the QN8035. The I2C master
acknowledges the transfer at the end of each byte. After the last data byte to be sent has been transferred from the QN8035
to the master, the master generates a NACK followed by a stop.
