Si4735 Library for Arduino

This is an Arduino library for the SI47XX, BROADCAST AM/FM/SW RADIO RECEIVER IC family from Silicon Labs. This library is intended to provide an easier interface for controlling the SI47XX by using Arduino platform. The communication used by this library is I²C. This library was built based on “Si47XX PROGRAMMING GUIDE; AN332 ”. It also can be used on all members of the SI473X family respecting, of course, the features available for each IC version. These functionalities can be seen in the comparison matrix shown in table 1 (Product Family Function); pages 2 and 3 of the programming guide. This library can be freely distributed using the MIT Free Software model. Copyright (c) 2019 Ricardo Lima Caratti

Schematics

Schematic (Receiver based on Si4735)

The image bellow shows a version of Slicon Labs SSOP Typical Application Schematic connect to the host MCU (Arduino Pro Pini 3.3V). __Pay attention to the Si4735-D60 SEN pin (16). If you are using the SI4732-A10, please, check the equivalent pins. When the SEN pin is connected to the ground, the I²C bus address is 0x11. When the SEN pin is connected to +3.3V, the I²C bus address is 0x63. On SI4732-A10, the SEN pin works inverted compared to the SI4735-G60. By default, the "Si4735 Arduino Library" uses the 0x11 I²C bus address (SEN pin connected to GND). If you want to use the address 0x63 (SEN connected on +3.3V), on SI4732-A10 the default I2C address is 0x63. See the functions (methods) getDeviceI2CAddress, setDeviceI2CAddress and setDeviceOtherI2CAddress__.
