Description
Silicon Laboratories' Si406x devices are high-performance, low-current
transmitters covering the sub-GHz frequency bands from 142 to 1050 MHz.
The radios are part of the EZRadioPRO
®
family, which includes a complete
line of transmitters, receivers, and transceivers covering a wide range of
applications. All parts offer extremely low active and standby current
consumption. The Si406x includes optimal phase noise performance for
narrow band applications, such as FCC Part90 and 169 MHz wireless Mbus.
The Si4063 offers exceptional output power of up to +20 dBm with
outstanding TX efficiency. The high output power allows extended ranges and
highly robust communication links. The Si4060 active mode TX current
consumption of 18 mA at +10 dBm coupled with extremely low standby
current and fast wake times ensure extended battery life in the most
demanding applications. The Si4063 can achieve up to +27 dBm output
power with built-in ramping control of a low-cost external FET. The devices
are compliant with all worldwide regulatory standards: FCC, ETSI, and ARIB.
All devices are designed to be compliant with 802.15.4g and WMbus smart
metering standards.
