Si4010 DEVELOPMENT KIT USER’S GUIDE
1. Key Fob Development Platform
The Si4010 key fob development platform is a flexible platform for comfortably developing software and testing the
whole system using the Silicon Laboratories software development IDE. The platform also allows programming of
the NVM on chip. The kit has three versions: one for the 434 MHz band (P/N 4010-KFOBDEV-434), one for the
868 MHz band (P/N 4010- KFOBDEV-868) and one for the 915 MHz band (P/N 4010-KFOBDEV-915 ).

1.1.1. Burning Adapter (P/N MSC-BA4)
The programming interface board serves as an interface in between the debug adapter and the Socketed Key Fob
Development Board or the Development Key Fob. It provides 6.5 V for NVM programming. The power source is
activated by a sliding switch on the board. It is required when the user wants to pr ogram the internal NVM memory
on the chip.
The programming interface board contains an 8-pin header, to which GPIO0 to GPIO5, along with power and
ground, are connected from the development boards. Therefore, the user can tap to that header to control or
monitor the chip pins.
1.1.2. Si4010 Socketed Key Fob Development Board (P/N MSC-DKPE1)
Socketed (both SOIC and MSOP) key fob board with SMA connector.

1.1.3. Si4010 MSOP Key Fob Development Board 434 MHz, SMA (P/N 4010-DKPB434-BM)
This development board has an unburned soldered Si4010, five push buttons, matched 50 SMA RF output,
battery clip, and battery switch. This board allows running user app lication fro m RAM dur ing pr og ra m developme nt
even while board is disconnected and powered by the battery. The SMA output connector allows wired
measurements of the RF output signal.
Note: Instead of this board, some 434 MHz development kits may contain the p cb antenna version of this board, describ ed in
"1.2.2. Si4010 Key Fob Development Board 434 MHz" on page 7.
1.1.4. Si4355 RFStick 434MHz receiver board (P/N 4355-LED-434-SRX)
Receiver board factory programmed with the simple receiver program srx_demo. Can be used for link testing with
Si4010 programmed with the rke_demo.
