Description
The Si4133 is a monolithic integrated circuit that performs both IF and dual-
band RF synthesis for wireless communications applications. The Si4133
includes three VCOs, loop filters, reference and VCO dividers, and phase
detectors. Divider and powerdown settings are programmable with a three-
wire serial interface.

Notes:
1.
Permanent device damage may occur if the above Absolute Maximum Ratings are exceeded. Functional operation
should be restricted to the conditions as specified in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2. This device is a high performance RF integrated circuit with an ESD rating of < 2 kV. Handling and assembly of
this device should only be done at ESD-protected workstations.
3.
