SKYWORKS SILICON LABS · RF Transceiver ICs · QFN-20-EP(4x4)

SI4463-B1B-FMR from SKYWORKS SILICON LABS, in a QFN-20-EP(4x4). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 SDN input Shutdown input (0 to VDD V digital); SDN must be 0 in all modes except Shutdown, and when SDN = 1 the chip is completely shut down and register contents are lost.
2 RXp input Differential RF input pin of the LNA; see the application schematic for the example matching network.
3 RXn input Differential RF input pin of the LNA; see the application schematic for the example matching network.
4 TX output Transmit output pin; the PA output is an open-drain connection, so the L-C match must supply VDD (+3.3 VDC nominal) to this pin.
5 NC unconnected No connect; not connected internally to any circuitry.
6 VDD power_in Supply voltage input to internal regulators, +1.8 to +3.6 V; recommended supply voltage is +3.3 V.
7 TXRAMP output Programmable bias output with ramp capability for an external FET PA; see section 5.4 Transmitter (TX).
8 VDD power_in Supply voltage input to internal regulators, +1.8 to +3.6 V; recommended supply voltage is +3.3 V.
9 GPIO0 bidirectional General purpose digital I/O configurable for functions such as microcontroller clock output, FIFO status, POR, wake-up timer, low battery detect, TRSW and antenna diversity control; GPIO pins can source up to 5 mA.
10 GPIO1 bidirectional General purpose digital I/O configurable for functions such as microcontroller clock output, FIFO status, POR, wake-up timer, low battery detect, TRSW and antenna diversity control; GPIO pins can source up to 5 mA.
11 nIRQ output General microcontroller interrupt status output, set low when an interrupt event occurs; no external pull-up is required but one may be desirable if multiple interrupt lines are connected.
12 SCLK input Serial clock input for the 4-line serial bus, 0 to VDD V digital input; data is clocked in on positive edge transitions.
13 SDO output Serial data readback output of the internal control registers, 0 to VDD V digital output.
14 SDI input Serial data input for the 4-line serial bus, 0 to VDD V digital input.
15 nSEL input Serial interface select (enable) input for the 4-line serial bus, 0 to VDD V digital input.
16 XOUT output Crystal oscillator output; connect to an external 25 to 32 MHz crystal, or leave floating when driving XIN from an external source.
17 XIN input Crystal oscillator input; connect to an external 25 to 32 MHz crystal or to an external source.
18 GND power_in Connect to PCB ground.
19 GPIO2 bidirectional General purpose digital I/O configurable for functions such as microcontroller clock output, FIFO status, POR, wake-up timer, low battery detect, TRSW and antenna diversity control; GPIO pins can source up to 5 mA.
20 GPIO3 bidirectional General purpose digital I/O configurable for functions such as microcontroller clock output, FIFO status, POR, wake-up timer, low battery detect, TRSW and antenna diversity control; GPIO pins can source up to 5 mA.
21 PADDLE_GND passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
