FM Tuner Evaluation Board - Si4703 [Generic] - (AD36079)

Description:

This is an evaluation board for Silicon Laboratories Si4703 FM tuner chip. Besides being able to tune into FM radio stations, the Si4703 is also capable of detecting and processing both Radio Data Service (RDS) and Radio Broadcast Data Service (RBDS) information. The Si4703 even does an excellent job of filtering and carrier detection. It also allows data like station ID and song name to be displayed to the user.

With this breakout board, you will be able to pick up multiple stations just as well as a standard FM radio. The board breaks out all major pins, making it easy to incorporate this great chip into your next radio project. The power bus, 3.3V and GND pins are available for communication. This connection provides access to SDIO and SCLK for I²C communication, while RST allows for an easy reset. The SEN pin allows the user to change the operating mode of the IC. The last two pins that have been broken out are GPIO1 and GPIO2, which can be used as general input/output pins, but also for functions such as RDS support, seek/tune.

Please be aware that when you plug headphones into the 3.5mm audio jack, the headphone cable functions as an antenna. Therefore, this board doesn't require an external antenna if using headphones or a 3.5mm audio cable longer than 90cm.
