Notes:
1.
To ensure proper operation and
receiver performance, follow the
guidelines in “AN384: Si4730/31
AM/FM Receiver Layout Guide.”
Silicon Laboratories will evaluate
schematics and layouts for qualified
customers.
2.
Place Si4730/31 as close as
possible to antenna jack and keep
the FMI and AMI traces as short as
possible.

Notes:
1.
Permanent device damage may occur if the above Absolute Maximum Ratings are exceeded. Functional operation
should be restricted to the conditions as specified in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure beyond
recommended operating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2.
The Si4730/31 devices are high-performance RF integrated circuits with certain pins having an ESD rating of < 2 kV
HBM. Handling and assembly of these devices should only be done at ESD-protected workstations.
3.
For input pins SCLK, SEN, SDIO, RST, RCLK, GPO1, GPO2, and GPO3.
4.
At RF input pins, FMI and AMI.
