Si47xx-EVB 4. Getting Started 4.1. Software Installation The Si47xx Windows GUI (graphical user interface) software is designed for use with the Si47xx evaluation board (EVB). The GUI software revision number is available under HelpAbout. The GUI software development program uses a host machine USB port to communicate with the Si47xx EVB and is tested for use with Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 7.
Si47xx-EVB 4.2. Board Initialization After launching the GUI, you will be shown the initialization window as shown in Figure 25. Note: This window can be accessed at any time by choosing Initialize from the File menu from the main GUI screen. Figure 25. GUI Initialization Screen 4.2.1. Board Selection At the top of the initialization window there is a board selection box, as displayed in Figure 26, that allows the selection of the board that will be controlled by the GUI.
Si47xx-EVB 4.2.2. Board Discovery Bus Mode The initialize process can be configured to use either 2-wire or 3-wire bus mode. This can be configured by selecting File Board Discovery Bus Mode. This feature is useful when using the Silabs EVB and GUI to control a prototype that is designed to use one bus mode only. 4.2.3. Function Configuration For each mode available on the selected EVB, multiple configuration items (Figure 27) will be present to allow for configuration of the GUI software.
Si47xx-EVB 4.2.3.3. Default Mode There are two or more default modes possible for each function. Use Last UI State: When selected, the GUI will restore all settings on the device to the previous settings configured in the GUI the last time it was closed. Use Chip Defaults: When selected, the GUI will use the settings that were default in the firmware on the device.
Si47xx-EVB 4.2.3.6. Bus Mode This setting affects all functions that are configured. It allows the device to be booted either in 2-wire or 3-wire mode. 4.2.3.7. Internal Oscillator When the "Use XOSCEN" is enabled and the board is configured to use the crystal oscillator, the GUI will boot the device using the crystal oscillator. This option is only available on devices that support the crystal oscillator option. 4.2.3.8.
Si47xx-EVB 4.4. State Management Once the part has been initialized, a State Management option becomes available in the File Menu. This GUI feature allows the user to save, retrieve, load, and delete the configuration state which contains the property values. 4.4.1. Save Configuration State To save the current configuration state, select FileState ManagementSave Current State. The Select Configuration window shown in Figure 30 will pop up. Enter a name for the configuration state and click OK.
Si47xx-EVB 4.4.3. Load Configuration State When a configuration state for a part has been saved, it will also appear in the Load State list as shown in Figure 32.

Si47xx-EVB There are 16 different group types in the RDS/RBDS standard, and for every group the following information is always transmitted: 1. Program Identification (PI) 2. Program Type (PTY) The GUI makes it easy to send data in three of the following group types: 1. Group Type 0: Program Service (PS) 2. Group Type 2: Radio Text (RT) 3. Group Type 4: Clock Time (CT) It is possible to send data in the other group types, but the user has to manually enter the data in hexadecimal code.
Si47xx-EVB 5.10.1. Basic The RDS Transmit Window is divided into three categories: 1. General 2. Program Service 3. Buffers In the basic section, we will cover two out of the three categories: the General and Program Service. In the General category, the user can set the PI and PTY data. In the Program Service, the user can set the PS data (Group Type 0). The following diagram shows a step-by-step explanation: 1 2 3 4 5 Figure 46. Basic RDS Message Illustration 1.
Si47xx-EVB 5.10.2. Intermediate In the intermediate section, we will cover the buffers category of sending the RDS data with the device, in particular we will send Group Type 2 (Radio Text) and Group Type 4 (Clock Time). The following diagram shows a step-by-step procedure to send the buffers data in addition to the General and Program Service data covered in the basic section. 1 2 3a 3 5 6 4 Figure 47. Intermediate RDS Message Illustration 1.
Si47xx-EVB value is set to anything other than 100%. 5. Clicking the "Add Time" button here will add the current time as a RDS Group Type 4 message to the GUI FIFO Buffer queue. 6. Clicking the "Clear Buff & Send" button will upload the message from the FIFO Buffer Indicator Window into the FIFO Buffer inside the device. The FIFO Buffer on the part will only send the messages contained in the buffer once. A good example of using FIFO buffer is when you want to send the time data.
Si47xx-EVB uploaded means that the RT is uploaded with the flag set. Un-checking this box when an RT is uploaded means that the flag is not set. This flag tells the receiver that when the flag toggles from set to reset or vice versa, the receiver will clear the display before showing the next RT. 5. Manual Group Entry: Use this box to upload the RDS data manually. You can use this box to upload messages from the Group Type for which the GUI does not have encoding support.

Si47xx-EVB 6.11. FM Receiver Configuration Helper The configuration helper is a useful tool for configuring the thresholds related to RSSI based Blend, SNR based Blend, Multipath based blend, SNR based hi-cut, Multipath based hi-cut, and Soft Mute. Figure 64. FM Configuration Helper 1 2 3 4 5 6 Figure 65. FM Configuration Helper Window (Multipath Based Hi-cut) Rev. 0.
Si47xx-EVB Table 21. Configuration Helper Window Descriptions # Item Description 1 Select Parameter Selects between Hi-cut Multipath (Si4706/4x only), Hi-cut SNR(Si4706/ 4x only), SoftMute, Stereo blend Multipath (Si4706/4x only), Stereo Blend RSSI and Stereo Blend SNR (Si4706/4x only). 2 Hi-cut/ Blend/Soft Mute Graph The plot displays the device threshold and rate settings, current signal conditions, and the calculated audio conditioning.
Si47xx-EVB Figure 66. FM Configuration Helper Window (SNR Based Hi-cut) In the example shown in Figure 66, the current level marker shows that hi-cut filter is set at 6 kHz. This is determined by both SNR and multipath conditions. Current SNR is 5 dB. Hi-cut SNR Low Threshold is set at 15 dB and hi-cut minimum frequency is set at 6 kHz. SNR is the determining factor in this case as it is already lower than the low threshold.
Si47xx-EVB Figure 67. FM Configuration Helper Window (Softmute) In the example shown in Figure 67, the current level marker shows that Soft Mute level is 0 dB. SNR threshold is programmed as 4 dB and max attenuation is 16 dB. Since the SNR reported by the part is 5 dB, which is above the threshold, the softmute level is 0 dB. The graph shows the current state of SNR (green diamond) and plot shows the softmute profile based on max attenuation, threshold and slope settings.
Si47xx-EVB Figure 68. FM Configuration Helper Window (SNR Based Blend) In the example shown in Figure 68, the Current Level marker shows that Stereo % is 56%. SNR threshold is programmed as 14 dB (and below) for full mono and 30 dB (and above) for full stereo. Since the SNR reported by the part is in between the thresholds, the stereo level is 56%. RSSI and Multipath do not factor in here as they are both at levels that would set the part in full stereo.
Si47xx-EVB Figure 69. FM Configuration Helper Window (RSSI Based Blend) In the example shown in Figure 69, the Current Level marker shows that Stereo % is 56%. RSSI threshold is programmed as 30 dBµV (and below) for full mono and 49 dBµV (and above) for full stereo. RSSI reported by the part is in between the thresholds however the final blend percentage is determined by SNR and the stereo level is 56%. Multipath does not factor in here as it is at a level that would set the part in full stereo.
Si47xx-EVB In the example shown in Figure 70, the Current Level marker shows that Stereo % is 50%. Multipath threshold is programmed as: 60% (and above) for full mono and 20% (and below) for full stereo. Multipath reported by the part is 11% which would put the part in full stereo. However the final blend percentage is determined by SNR and the stereo level is 56%.
