Si4421 Universal ISM Band
FSK Transceiver
DESCRIPTION
Silicon Labs’ Si4421 is a single chip, low power, multi-channel FSK
transceiver designed for use in applications requiring FCC or ETSI
conformance for unlicensed use in the 433, 868 and 915 MHz bands.
The Si4421 transceiver is a part of Silicon Labs’ EZRadio
TM
product
line, which produces a flexible, low cost, and highly integrated solution
that does not require production alignments. The chip is a complete
analog RF and baseband transceiver including a multi-band PLL
synthesizer with PA, LNA, I/Q down converter mixers, baseband filters
and amplifiers, and an I/Q demodulator. All required RF functions are
integrated. Only an external crystal and bypass filtering are needed for
operation.
The Si4421 features a completely integrated PLL for easy RF design,
and its rapid settling time allows for fast frequency-hopping, bypassing
multipath fading and interference to achieve robust wireless links. The
PLL’s high resolution allows the usage of multiple channels in any of
the bands. The receiver baseband bandwidth (BW) is programmable to
accommodate various deviation, data rate and crystal tolerance
requirements. The transceiver employs the Zero-IF approach with I/Q
demodulation. Consequently, no external components (except crystal
and decoupling) are needed in most applications.
The Si4421 dramatically reduces the load on the microcontroller with
the integrated digital data processing features: data filtering, clock
recovery, data pattern recognition, integrated FIFO and TX data
register. The automatic frequency control (AFC) feature allows the use
of a low accuracy (low cost) crystal. To minimize the system cost, the
Si4421 can provide a clock signal for the microcontroller, avoiding the
need for two crystals.
For low power applications, the Si4421 supports low duty cycle
operation based on the internal wake-up timer.
