Silicon Laboratories’ Si4432 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 Si4432 offers advanced radio features including continuous frequency
coverage from 240–930 MHz and adjustable output power of up to +20 dBm. The
Si4432’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 Si4432’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 FCC and
ETSI regulations.
