Based on the Si4210 Aero II GSM/GPRS transceiver, the Aero EDGE Radio provides a
complete turnkey reference design for a quad-band GSM/ GPRS/ EDGE radio. The Aero
EDGE Radio has the smallest footprint and fewest components of any EDGE radio on
the market today, enabling customers to achieve high data rates while maintaining
small form factors. The Si4210 receiver uses a digital low-IF architecture that supports
both GMSK and 8-PSK modulation. The 8-PSK transmitter is formed with a companion
chip that includes a direct upconversion mixer and a variable gain amplifier (VGA). The
transmit SAW provides additional margin to filter unwanted phase noise produced by
the companion chip. The power ampli fier (PA) is programmable to support either
GMSK or 8-PSK mode and operates open loop with no external components required
for feedback.

Proven Technology
The Aero EDGE Radio from Silicon
Laboratories builds upon existing Aero II
technology developed from GSM/ GPRS. To
preserve excellent GSM/GPRSperformance,
the Aero EDGE Radio includes a proven
digital low-IF receiver and a linear transmitter
based on a high-performance offset phase-
locked loop (OPLL).
Highest Level of Integr ation
The Aero II transceiver is the industry’s most
integrated single-chip GSM/ GPRS/EDGE
transceiver, integrating all VCOs, tuning
components and loop filters.
Sma llest Footpr int
The Aero EDGE Radio implements an entire
quad-band GSM/ GPRS/EDGE radio in only
41 components and requires 50% less board
space than competing solutions.
Easiest to Design an d Ma nufa cture
The Aero EDGE Radio provides a reference
design for a complete quad-band
GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio with guaranteed
performance. For supply flexibility, the Aero
EDGE Radio is qualified for components
sourced from multiple vendors.
