Si473x-B20 BROADCAST MULTI-BAND RADIO RECEIVER

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The Si473x series are integrated multiband radio receiver ICs supporting FM, AM, SW, LW, and weather bands. They minimize external components and require no factory alignment, reducing the receiver footprint by over 90% compared to traditional solutions. Key features include advanced seek algorithms, auto-calibrated digital tuning, FM stereo processing, and a programmable reference clock.
Electrical Specifications
Operating conditions include a supply voltage range of 2.7 to 5.5 V and an interface supply voltage of 1.5 to 3.6 V. The devices function within an ambient temperature range of -20 to 85°C. Exceeding absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage.
FM Receiver Characteristics
The FM receiver supports frequencies from 76 to 108 MHz, with a sensitivity of 2.2 µV EMF for headphone networks. It offers high audio output voltage and stereo separation, with a typical audio mono S/N ratio of 63 dB.
AM/SW/LW Receiver Characteristics
AM band supports 520 to 1710 kHz, SW supports 2.3 to 21.85 MHz, and LW supports 153 to 279 kHz. Sensitivity is 25 µV EMF, with a power supply rejection ratio of 40 dB.
WB Receiver Characteristics
The weather band operates between 162.4 and 162.55 MHz, with a sensitivity of 0.9 µV EMF and an adjacent channel selectivity of 52 dB.
Applications
The Si473x series is suitable for various applications including table and portable radios, audio video receivers, stereos, mini/micro systems, CD/DVD players, portable media players, cellular handsets, emergency radios, clock radios, modules, mini HiFi, and boom boxes.
Reference Clock and Crystal Characteristics
The reference clock supports frequencies between 31.130 kHz and 40 MHz, with a frequency tolerance of ±100 ppm. The crystal oscillator operates at 32.768 kHz with a tolerance of ±50 ppm, crucial for FM seek/tune operations.
Typical AM/FM Application Schematic
Guidelines for integrating the Si473x series into an AM/FM application include placing capacitors close to the VDD pin, connecting all grounds to the PCB ground plane, and ensuring short traces for FMI and AMI connections. Optional components for digital audio output and crystal oscillator are also mentioned.
Bill of Materials
Lists components required for the Si473x application, including capacitors, resistors, and optional components like transformers and antennas. Suppliers for each component are provided.
Pin Descriptions
Details the functions of each pin on the Si473x-GM, including RF inputs, reset, serial data inputs, and audio outputs. Specific connections for FM and AM antennas are highlighted.
Ordering Guide
Lists available Si473x models, detailing their capabilities (e.g., AM/FM, RDS/RBDS support) and operating temperature range. The package type is QFN, and all models are Pb-free.
Package Outline and PCB Land Pattern
Dimensions for the Si473x QFN package and PCB land pattern are specified, following ANSI Y14.5M-1994 standards. Recommendations for solder mask design and stencil design are included to ensure optimal assembly.
