Notes:
1. To ensure proper operation and FM
transceiver performance, follow the
guidelines in “AN383: 3 mm x 3 mm
QFN Universal Layout Guide.”
Silicon Laboratories will evaluate
schematics and layouts for qualified
customers.
2. Place the Si4720/21 as close as
possible to the antenna jack, and
keep the FMI trace as short as
possible.
