Description
Silicon Labs’ Si4322 is a single chip, low power, multi-channel FSK receiver
designed for use in applications requiring FCC or ETSI conformance for
unlicensed use in the 433, 868, and 915 MHz bands. Used in conjunction with
Silicon Labs' FSK transmitters, the Si4322 is a flexible, low cost, and highly
integrated solution that does not require production alignments. All required RF
functions are integrated. Only an external crystal and bypass filtering capacitors
are needed for operation.
The Si4322 is a complete analog RF and baseband receiver including a multi-
band PLL synthesizer with an LNA, I/Q down converter mixers, baseband filters
and amplifiers, and I/Q demodulator. The receiver employs zero-IF approach with
I/Q demodulation, therefore no external components (except crystal and
decoupling) are needed in a typical application. The Si4322 has 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 baseband bandwidth (BW) is programmable to
accommodate various deviation, data rate, and crystal tolerance requirements.
The chip dramatically reduces the load on the microcontroller with integrated
digital data processing: data filtering, clock recovery, data pattern recognition and
integrated FIFO. The automatic frequency control (AFC) feature allows using a
low accuracy (low cost) crystal. To minimize the system cost, the chip can provide
a clock signal for the microcontroller, avoiding the need for two crystals.
