Silicon Laboratories’ Si4430 highly integrated, single chip wireless ISM
transceiver is part of the EZRadioPRO™ family. The EZRadioPRO family includes
a complete line of transmitters, receivers, and transceivers allowing the RF
system designer to choose the optimal wireless part for their application.
The Si4430 offers advanced radio features including continuous frequency
coverage from 900–960 MHz The Si4430’s high level of integration offers reduced
BOM cost while simplifying the overall system design. The extremely low receive
sensitivity (–118 dBm) coupled with industry leading +20 dBm output power
ensures extended range and improved link performance. Built-in antenna diversity
and support for frequency hopping can be used to further extend range and
enhance performance.
Additional system features such as an automatic wake-up timer, low battery
detector, 64 byte TX/RX FIFOs, automatic packet handling, and preamble
detection reduce overall current consumption and allow the use of lower-cost
system MCUs. An integrated temperature sensor, general purpose ADC, poweron-reset (POR), and GPIOs further reduce overall system cost and size.
The Si4430’s digital receive architecture features a high-performance ADC and
DSP based modem which performs demodulation, filtering, and packet handling
for increased flexibility and performance. This digital architecture simplifies
system design while allowing for the use of lower-end MCUs. The direct digital
transmit modulation and automatic PA power ramping ensure precise transmit
modulation and reduced spectral spreading ensuring compliance with ARIB
regulations.
