<strong>Description:</strong> The Si4735 is the first digital CMOS AM/FM radio receiver IC that integrates the complete tuner function from antenna input to audio output. This feature-rich solution includes advanced seek algorithms, soft mute, auto-calibrated digital tuning, and FM stereo processing. The chip also incorporates a digital processor for the European Radio Data System (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System" target="_blank">RDS</a>) and the North American Radio Broadcast Data System (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBDS" target="_blank">RBDS</a>), including all required symbol decoding, block synchronization, error detection, and error correction functions. Basically it's an entire AM/FM, LW/SW radio in a single chip.</p>
<p>
Now that we've mounted it on a shield, you can harness all of that sweet radio-playing power right from your Arduino. Simply stack the shield onto your Arduino board, plug in some speakers (headphones don't seem to work as well without a preamp) and use the library below to control the volume, channel selection, etc. The library also allows you to send a variety of other commands constructed by consulting the Si4735 Programmers Guide.</p>
<p>
This board seems to get decent reception compared to other stereos around the office even using a simple wire antenna. If you happen to have an antenna that you'd like to use it can be soldered right to the via marked "antenna".</p>
