2.1 
FM Receiver 
The receiver uses a digital low-IF architecture that 
avoids 
the  difficulties  associated  with  direct 
conversion  while  delivering  lower  solution  cost 
and  reduces  complexity,  and  integrates  a  low 
noise  amplifier 
the  FM 
broadcast  band  (50  to  115MHz),  a  multi-phase   
image-reject  mixer  array,  a  programmable  gain 
control  (PGA),  a  high  resolution  analog-to-digital 
converters  (ADCs),  an  audio  DSP  and  a  high- 
fidelity digital-to-analog converters (DACs). 
(LNA)  supporting 
The LNA has  differential  input  ports  (LNAP  and 
LNAN)  and  supports  any  input  port  by  set 
according registers bits (LNA_PORT_SEL[1:0]). It 
default input common mode voltage is GND. 
The  limiter  prevents  overloading  and  limits  the 
amount  of  intermodulation  products  created  by 
strong adjacent channels. 
The  multi-phase  mixer  array  down  converts  the 
LNA output differential RF signal to low-IF, it also 
has  image-reject  function  and  harmonic  tones 
rejection. 
The PGA amplifies the mixer output IF signal and 
then digitized with ADCs. 
The DSP core finishes the channel selection, FM 
demodulation,  stereo  MPX  decoder  and  output 
audio signal. The MPX decoder can autonomous 
switch  from  stereo  to  mono  to  limit  the  output 
noise. 
The  DACs  convert  digital  audio  signal  to  analog 
and change the volume at same time. The DACs 
has low-pass feature and -3dB frequency is about 
30 KHz. 
2.2  Synthesizer 
The  frequency  synthesizer  generates  the  local 
oscillator signal which divide to multi-phase, then 
be  used  to  downconvert  the  RF  input  to  a 
constant  low  intermediate  frequency  (IF).  The 
synthesizer reference clock is 32.768 KHz. 
The  synthesizer  frequency  is  defined  by  bits 
CHAN[9:0]  with 
to 
115MHz. 
from  50MHz

2.3  Power Supply 
The  RDA5802N 
integrated  one  LDO  which 
supplies  power  to  the  chip.  The  external  supply 
voltage range is 1.8-5.5 V. 
2.4  RESET and Control Interface select   
The  RDA5802N  is  RESET  itself  When  VIO  is 
Power  up.  And  also  support  soft  reset  by  trigger 
02H BIT1 from 0 to 1. T he 
only 
support I2C control interface bus mode. 
RDA5802N 
 
2.5  Control Interface 
The  RDA5802N  only  supports 
interface.   
I2C  control 
I2C 
to 
interface 
is  compliant 
I2C  Bus 
The 
Specification  2.1. It includes  two  pins:  SCLK  and 
SDIO. A I2C interface transfer begins with START 
condition, a command byte and data bytes, each 
byte has a followed ACK (or NACK) bit, and ends 
with STOP condition. The command byte includes 
a  7-bit  chip  address  (0010000b)  and  a  R/W  bit. 
The ACK (or NACK) is always sent out by receiver. 
When  in  write  transfer,  data  bytes  is  written  out 
from MCU, and when in read transfer, data bytes 
is  read  out  from  RDA5802N.  There  is  no  visible 
register address in I2C interface transfers. The I2C 
interface has a fixed start register address (0x02h 
for write transfer and 0x0Ah for read transfer), and 
an internal incremental address counter. If register 
address  meets  the  end  of  register  file,  0x3Ah, 
register address will wrap back to 0x00h. For write 
transfer,  MCU  programs  registers  from  register 
0x02h  high  byte,  then  register  0x02h  low  byte, 
then register 0x03h high byte, till the last register. 
RDA5802N always gives out ACK after every byte, 
and MCU gives out STOP condition when register 
programming  is  finished.  For  read  transfer,  after 
command byte from MCU, RDA5802N sends out 
register 0x0Ah high byte, then register 0x0Ah low 
byte,  then  register  0x0Bh  high  byte,  till  receives 
NACK  from  MCU.  MCU  gives  out  ACK  for  data 
bytes  besides  last  data  byte.  MCU  gives  out 
NACK for last data byte, and then RDA5802N will 
return  the  bus  to  MCU,  and  MCU  will  give  out 
STOP condition. 
2.6 
I2S Audio Data Interface 
The RDA5802N supports I2S (Inter_IC Sound Bus) 
audio  interface.  The  interface  is  fully  compliant 
with I2S bus specification. When setting I2SEN bit 
high, RDA5802N will output SCK, WS, SD signals 
from  GPIO3,  GPIO1,  GPIO2  as  I2S  master  and 
is  48Kbps ,
transmitter, 
44.1kbps,32kbps…..  RDA5802N  also  support  as 
I2S  slaver mode  and transmitter, the  sample  rate 
is less than 100kbps.   
the  sample 
rate 
2.7  GPIO Outputs 
The RDA5802N has three GPIOs. The function of 
GPIOs  could  programmed  with  bits  GPIO1[1:0], 
GPIO2[1:0], GPIO3[1:0] and I2SEN. 
to  output 
If  I2SEN  is  set  to  low,  GPIO  pins  could  be 
programmed to output low or high or high-Z, or be 
programmed 
interrupt  and  stereo 
indicator  with  bits  GPIO1[1:0],  GPIO2[1:0], 
GPIO3[1:0].  GPIO2  could  be  programmed  to 
output  a  low interrupt  (interrupt  will  be  generated 
only with interrupt enable bit STCIEN is set to high) 
when seek/tune process completes. GPIO3 could 
be programmed to output stereo indicator bit ST.   
Constant  low,  high  or  high-Z  functionality  is 
available regardless of the state of VDD supplies 
or the ENABLE bit.
