Si4311 DEMO BOARD USER’SGUIDE

1. Overview

The Silicon Laboratories Si4311-DEMO board provides a complete FSK radio design with numerous selectable

features that demonstrate the capabilities of the Silicon Laboratories Si4311 FSK receiver. The Si4311-DEMO

board can be configured to receive FSK data from an SMA connector or wirelessly with an onboard printed circuit

board (PCB) antenna. The demodulated output data from the Si4311-DEMO board can be measured via an SMA

connector and/or observed with an LED and/or heard with an audio buzzer. The system is powered by a 9 V

battery or an external 3.3 V power supply.

2. Features

Single chip FSK receiver

Selectable 315/433.92 MHz carrier frequency

Selectable data rate, frequency deviation

3. Description

Figures 1 and 2 show the physical layout of the board with key components indicated.

Power Supply Connector

J1: Jumper to select external 3.3 V supply. This is a solderable jumper and should be shorted when used.

J7: External 3.3 V supply connector: +3.3 V with the jumper on the right side and GND on the left side.

J3: 9 V battery supply connector: Power on with the jumper on the right side and power off with the jumper on the

left side.

J8: Jumper used to measure Si4311 current consumption.

Jumper connected (shorted) is normal operation.

Jumper connected with an ammeter in series to measure current.

D3: Power-on indicator. LED lights up when powered on.

RF Input

J4: SMA connector for an external RF input. Ensure inductor L3 is open to remove the PCB antenna when using

the SMA input.

Demodulated Data Output

J5: SMA connector for demodulated data output.

External Clock Driver

J9/J17: These solder jumpers should be shorted when an external clock driver is used.

J10: External clock connection point.

Automatic Frequency Centering (AFC)

J11: Jumper used to select AFC function.

Logic High (left side connection) to enable AFC.

Logic Low (right side connection) to disable AFC.

Carrier Frequency Selection

J12: Jumper used to select 315 or 433.92 MHz carrier frequency.

Logic High (left side connection) for 315 MHz.

Logic Low (right side connection) for 433.92 MHz.
