Product details

Overview

4460CPCE30E915S from Silicon Labs is an RF transmitter pico board designed for 915 MHz sub-GHz wireless evaluation, featuring the Si4060 transceiver IC, +30 dBm output power, switched PA configuration, and integrated matching network for FCC/IC-compliant operation in North America.

For engineers reviewing the 4460CPCE30E915S datasheet, 4460CPCE30E915S pinout, 4460CPCE30E915S application, or 4460CPCE30E915S equivalent, this board enables rapid prototyping of long-range ISM band links in smart metering, industrial telemetry, and sensor networks - with direct integration into the Wireless Motherboard platform via standardized pico connectors.

Technical Context

The 4460CPCE30E915S implements a complete 915 MHz transmitter subsystem based on the Si4060 RF IC, using a Class-E power amplifier with external switched matching to achieve +30 dBm output while maintaining spectral mask compliance per FCC Part 15.247. It interfaces exclusively via SPI (SCLK/SDI/SDO/NSEL) and GPIO control lines (SDN, NIRQ, GPIO_0–GPIO_3).

This pico board operates as a plug-in radio node on the Wireless Motherboard (MSC-WMB93X), sharing common power routing, current measurement jumpers, and USB debug infrastructure. Its EBID memory (24AA64T-I/MNY) stores board-specific calibration data and identification parameters readable by WDS software.

Key Specifications

FAQ

What is the primary function of the 4460CPCE30E915S?

The 4460CPCE30E915S is an RF transmitter pico board built around the Si4060 IC, delivering +30 dBm output at 915 MHz with switched PA matching. It serves as a ready-to-use evaluation node for FCC-certified sub-GHz wireless links. The 4460CPCE30E915S integrates all RF front-end components, including matching network and SMA antenna connector, and communicates via SPI with the host MCU on the Wireless Motherboard platform.

Which development platform is the 4460CPCE30E915S designed for?

The 4460CPCE30E915S is engineered exclusively for use with the Silicon Labs Wireless Motherboard (MSC-WMB93X). It connects via CON1/CON2 pico board slots and relies on shared infrastructure including USB debug interface, power selection switch, current measurement jumpers, and GPIO routing defined in Table 4 of the EZRadioPRO-DK User's Guide. The 4460CPCE30E915S cannot operate standalone without this motherboard or equivalent carrier.

Does the 4460CPCE30E915S include onboard firmware or radio configuration?

No, the 4460CPCE30E915S ships without preloaded firmware. Radio configuration and application code must be downloaded via the Wireless Development Suite (WDS) using the connected Wireless Motherboard's USB interface. The 4460CPCE30E915S contains only factory-programmed EBID memory (24AA64T-I/MNY) for board identification - all operational behavior is defined by host MCU firmware loaded through WDS.

What antenna interface does the 4460CPCE30E915S support?

The 4460CPCE30E915S features an SMA female connector for direct attachment of 50 Ω antennas, such as the MSC-AT50-XXX series included in full kits. The RF output path includes impedance-matched transmission line routing and shielding to maintain signal integrity and meet conducted emission requirements. The 4460CPCE30E915S does not support PCB trace antennas or U.FL connectors.

Is the 4460CPCE30E915S recommended for new designs?

No - the 4460CPCE30E915S is explicitly marked "Not Recommended for New Designs" in Silicon Labs documentation. It belongs to the obsolete EZRadioPRO development kit generation (B1B revision), superseded by newer Si446x-based kits and Simplicity Studio toolchain. The 4460CPCE30E915S remains available for legacy support, repair, and maintenance of existing deployments but lacks ongoing feature updates or long-term roadmap alignment.
