Hardware Overview
How does it work?
AM/FM 2 Click is based on the Si4732, a broadcast AM/FM/SE/LW/RDS radio receiver from Skyworks. It features TDMA noise immunity, superior radio performance, high-fidelity audio power amplification, advanced AN/FM seek tunning, automatic frequency control (AFC), and automatic gain control (AGC). It also features a digital FM stereo decoder, programmable de-emphasis, advanced audio processing, and seven selectable AM channel filters. The Si4732 integrates an RDS/RBDS processor, which allows embedding of small amounts of digital information in conventional FM radio broadcasts. The Si4732 can receive the FM band broadcast in a range of 64 up to 108MHz and AM band from 520 up to 1710KHz. In addition, the receiver supports the SW band (2.3 – 26.1 MHz) and LW band (153 – 279 KHz). The AM/FM 2 Click uses an SMA connector and
external antenna to receive both AM and LW radio signals, while it also comes with a PTH for usage with a wire antenna. The FM and SW bands use a 3.5mm audio jack and connected earphones as an antenna, although a wire antenna is left as an option over an additional PTH. The Si4732 can receive or transmit the FM signal over the antenna but can not use both modes simultaneously. The audio signal from the output of the Si4732 is brought to the onboard 3.5mm female audio jack over the LM4910, eliminating the need for any external amplifier. There are four selectable digital sample precisions (8, 16, 20, and 24 bits). The sample rate can be set between 320000 and 48000Hz. AM/FM 2 Click uses a standard 2-Wire I2C interface to communicate with the host MCU. The I2C address can be selected over the ADDR SEL jumper with 0 default position. In cases
where the AM reception is too strong, the front-end attenuators can be engaged using the GP1 pin. The radio receiver has interrupt abilities, which can be used over the GP2 pin. Both GP1 and GP2 are turned off over unpopulated R8 and R9 resistor jumpers. To use them, you should solder 0Ω resistors. There is also an additional RST pin for resetting the radio receiver. The LM4910 features a low-power consumption shutdown mode activated over the ENA pin with LOW logic. This Click board™ can only be operated with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Fusion for TIVA v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M based MCUs from Texas Instruments, regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over a WiFi network. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, Fusion for TIVA v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access
anywhere and under any circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for TIVA v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.
Communication options such as USB-UART, USB HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. Fusion for TIVA v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.
2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.
3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.

* @file main.c
* @brief AM/FM 2 Click example
*
* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of the AM/FM 2 Click board™.
* The app represents a radio tuner that supports worldwide AM/FM bands
* and has features such as automatic frequency control, seek station, and volume control.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* The initialization of I2C module and log UART.
* After driver initialization, the app sets the default configuration
* and searches and memorizes for a valid frequency of the 5 radio stations.
*
* ## Application Task
* This example demonstrates the use of the AM/FM 2 Click board™.
* The application switches all 5 previously memorized radio frequencies every 10 seconds.
* Results are being sent to the UART Terminal, where you can track their changes.
