Overview

The Si4463-C2A-GMR is a high-performance, low-current transceiver from the EZRadioPRO family, covering the 142MHz to 1.05GHz sub-GHz frequency range. It features a maximum output power of 20dBm and an exceptional sensitivity of -129dBm, making it ideal for long-range wireless links. The device is designed for low-power operation with a shutdown current of only 30nA and a sleep current of 740uA.

Why Choose This Part

It offers superior link budget through high sensitivity and integrated power amplifiers, reducing the need for external range extenders. The device supports multiple modulation schemes up to 1Mbps and includes built-in features like a temperature sensor and low-battery detector to simplify system design.

Applications

Smart Metering
Utilizing the 20dBm output power for reliable AMR/AMI communication through building structures.
Industrial Telemetry
Long-range sensor monitoring using GFSK or 4GFSK modulation for robust data links in noisy environments.
Home Security Systems
Connecting wireless door sensors and PIR detectors with battery-efficient 1.8V to 3.6V operation.
