Si4421, Note 10 By design | Silicon Laboratories SI4421 specification

Note 10: By design

Si4421

Note 1: Measured with disabled clock output buffer

Note 2: Not using a 10 MHz crystal is allowed but not recommended because all crystal referred timing and frequency parameters will change accordingly

Note 3: See the BER diagrams in the measurement results section (page 37) for detailed information

Note 4: See reference design with 50 Ohm Matching Network (page 39) for details

Note 5: See reference design with Resonant PCB Antenna (BIFA) on page 41 for details

Note 6: Optimal antenna admittance/impedance:

Si4421	Yantenna [mS]	Zantenna [Ohm]		Lantenna [nH]
433 MHz	2 – j5.9	52	+ j152	62
868 MHz	1.2 - j11.9	7.8 + j83		15.4
915 MHz	1.49 - j12.8	9	+ j77	13.6

Note 7: Adjustable in 8 steps

Note 8: During the Power-On Reset period, commands are not accepted by the chip. In case of software reset (see Wake-Up Timer Command, page 25) the reset timeout is 0.25ms typical.

Note 9: The crystal oscillator start up time strongly depends on the capacitance seen by the oscillator. Low capacitance and low ESR crystal is recommended with low parasitic PCB layout design.
