Introduction
This document describes the test procedures used in Silicon Laboratories for the Si477x evaluation boards (EVB). It is also intended to enable customers to exactly replicate Silicon Laboratories test environment so that variances in customers and Silicon Laboratories measured results can be accurately compared. This document covers AM, FM, RDS and weather band tests for the Si477x receivers. The pass/fail criteria for each test are provided in the respective data sheets. The Si477x evaluation boards and software provide a platform to program, test, and operate the Si477x devices. The system consists of two boards: a baseboard and an RF daughter card. The baseboard provides all necessary support functions, including a USB-based programming interface, analog audio. The RF daughter card changes for each device. Refer to the individual EVB Users Guides for detailed explanations of the EVB hardware and software.
