With no external MCU control needed, the Si4356 provides a true plug-and-play receive option. Excellent sensitivity up to -113 dBm allows for a longer operating range, while the low current consumption of 12 mA active and 50 nA standby provides for superior battery life. The Si4356 provides receive data as well as a system clock output for use by an external microcontroller or decoder. 20 GND VDD Description Pin Assignments VDD Remote control Home security and alarm Garage and gate openers Remote keyless entry 11 SEL0 20-pin QFN (Top View) Patents pending Rev 1.2 1/16 Copyright (c) 2016 by Silicon Laboratories Si4356 Si4356 Functional Block Diagram XIN XOUT RST Synthesizer / CLK_OUT 30MHz XO Rx Chain RXp RXn STBY LNA PGA ADC Rx Modem MSTAT / OUT0 Configuration Decoder VDD 2 RX_DATA / OUT1 SEL0 SEL1 SEL2 SEL3 GND Rev 1.2 Si4356 TABLE O F C ONTENTS Section Page 1.

Standby Control and Timing Once in standby mode, the device shuts down most functions, allowing for very low current consumption, but it still maintains all register settings for a fast transition back to the receive operating mode, as shown in Table 14. Table 14. Operating State Response Time and Current Consumption State / Mode Response Time to Rx Current in State/Mode Standby 0.5 ms 50 nA Receive N/A 12 mA It is also possible to reset the device by using RST (pin 2). This mode briefly cycles power on the device, before retuning the device to the receive operating mode as shown in Figure 7. The device takes approximately 20 ms to transition from reset to Receive mode. 16 Rev 1.2 Si4356 RST ( Pin2) >1 ms 12mA 12mA 9mA Total Current 3mA 2.5mA 2mA 1 ms 10ms 8.5ms MSTAT (Pin12) RX_ DATA (Pin14) 2.9Vp-p CLK_OUT (Pin10) Figure 7. Device Reset Control and Timing 6. Additional Features 6.1. System Clock Output A clock output is available on CLK_OUT (pin 10) of the Si4356, which can be used to drive an external MCU and avoid the need for additional oscillators in the application. The clock signal is valid when MSTAT is low. The clock frequency is set to 10 MHz for 315 MHz RX frequency selection and 15 MHz for all other frequencies. If this clock signal is not needed, then it can be turned off by connecting CLK_OUT (pin 10) to MSTAT/OUT0 (pin 12). The clock signal is turned off during Standby and Device Reset modes.
