TUNE2 4 21 VDD2
The Si4831/35-B30 is the 2nd generation mechanical-tuned digital CMOS BAND 5 20 VDD1
AM/FM/SW radio receiver IC that integrates the complete receiver function from NC 6 19 XTALI
antenna input to audio output. Like other successful audio products from Silicon NC 7 18 XTALO
Labs, Si4831/35-B30 offers unmatched integration and PCB space savings with FMI 8 17 VOL-/BASS
minimum external components and a small board area. The Si4831/35-B30 RFGND 9 16 VOL+/TREBLE
requires a simple application circuit and removes any requirements for manually NC 10 15 RST

tuning components during the manufacturing process. The Si4831/35-B30 is a NC 11 14 GND

AMI GND
very simple product to design, manufacture, and support across multiple product 12 13

lines. The receiver has very low power consumption, runs off two AAA batteries,
and delivers the performance benefits of digital tuning to the analog radio market.

E 0.65 BSC
X1 0.35 0.45
Y1 1.55 1.75
General:
1. All dimensions shown are in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise noted.
2. This land pattern design is based on the IPC-7351 guidelines.
Solder Mask Design:
3. All metal pads are to be non-solder mask defined (NSMD). Clearance between the
solder mask and the metal pad is to be 60 µm minimum, all the way around the pad.
Stencil Design:
4. A stainless steel, laser-cut, and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls
should be used to assure good solder paste release.
5. The stencil thickness should be 0.125 mm (5 mils).
6. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1 for all perimeter pads.
Card Assembly:
7. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.
8. The recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020
specification for Small Body Components.
