Description
The Si4311 is a fully-integrated FSK CMOS RF receiver that operates in the
unlicensed 315 and 433.92 MHz ultra high frequency (UHF) bands. It is designed
for high-volume, cost-sensitive RF receiver applications, such as set-top box RF
receivers, remote controls, garage door openers, home automation, security,
remote keyless entry systems, wireless POS, and telemetry. The Si4311 offers
industry-leading RF performance, high integration, flexibility, low BOM, small
board area, and ease of design. No production alignment is necessary as all RF
functions are integrated into the device.
