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.

Notes:
1.
Permanent device damage may occur if the absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. Functional operation should be
restricted to the conditions as specified in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure beyond recommended
operating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2.
The Si4311 device is a high-performance RF integrated circuit with certain pins having an ESD rating of < 2 kV HBM.
Handling and assembly of this device should only be done at ESD-protected workstations.
