CYRF6936
Functional Overview
The CYRF6936 IC provides a complete WirelessUSB SPI to
antenna wireless MODEMs. The SoC is designed to
implement wireless device links operating in the worldwide
2.4 GHz ISM frequency band. It is intended for systems
compliant with worldwide regulations covered by ETSI EN 301
489-1 V1.41, ETSI EN 300 328-1 V1.3.1 (Europe), FCC CFR
47 Part 15 (USA and Industry Canada) and TELEC
ARIB_T66_March, 2003 (Japan).
The SoC contains a 2.4 GHz, 1 Mbps GFSK radio transceiver,
packet data buffering, packet framer, DSSS baseband
controller, Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), and
SPI interface for data transfer and device configuration.
The radio supports 98 discrete 1 MHz channels (regulations
may limit the use of some of these channels in certain jurisdictions).
The baseband performs DSSS spreading/despreading, Start
of Packet (SOP), End of Packet (EOP) detection, and CRC16
generation and checking. The baseband may also be
configured to automatically transmit Acknowledge (ACK)
handshake packets whenever a valid packet is received.
When in receive mode, with packet framing enabled, the
device is always ready to receive data transmitted at any of the
supported bit rates, enabling the implementation of mixed-rate
systems in which different devices use different data rates.
This also enables the implementation of dynamic data rate
systems that use high data rates at shorter distances or in a
low-moderate interference environment or both, and change
to lower data rates at longer distances or in high interference
environments or both.
In addition, the CYRF6936 IC has a Power Management Unit
(PMU), which allows direct connection of the device to any
battery voltage in the range 1.8V to 3.6V. The PMU conditions
the battery voltage to provide the supply voltages required by
the device, and may supply external devices.
Data Transmission Modes
The SoC supports four different data transmission modes:
• In GFSK mode, data is transmitted at 1 Mbps, without any
DSSS.
• In 8DR mode, eight bits are encoded in each derived code
symbol transmitted.
• In DDR mode, two bits are encoded in each derived code
symbol transmitted. (As in the CYWUSB6934 DDR mode).
• In SDR mode, one bit is encoded in each derived code
symbol transmitted. (As in the CYWUSB6934 standard
modes.)
Both 64 chip and 32 chip Pseudo Noise (PN) codes are
supported. The four data transmission modes apply to the data
after the SOP. In particular the length, data, and CRC16 are all
sent in the same mode. In general, lower data rates reduce
packet error rate in any given environment.
Link Layer Modes
The CYRF6936 IC device supports the following data packet
framing features:
SOP – Packets begin with a two-symbol Start of Packet
marker. This is required in GFSK and 8DR modes, but is
optional in DDR mode and is not supported in SDR mode; if
framing is disabled then an SOP event is inferred whenever
two
successive
correlations
are
detected.
The
SOP_CODE_ADR code used for the SOP is different from that
used for the “body” of the packet, and if desired may be a
different length. SOP must be configured to be the same
length on both sides of the link.
Length – There are two options for detecting the end of a
packet. If SOP is enabled, then the length field should be
enabled. GFSK and 8DR must enable the length field. This is
the first eight bits after the SOP symbol, and is transmitted at
the payload data rate. When the length field is enabled, an End
of Packet condition is inferred after reception of the number of
bytes defined in the length field, plus two bytes for the CRC16
(when enabled—see the following paragraph). The alternative
to using the length field is to infer an EOP condition from a
configurable number of successive noncorrelations; this
option is not available in GFSK mode and is only recommended when using SDR mode.
CRC16 – The device may be configured to append a 16 bit
CRC16 to each packet. The CRC16 uses the USB CRC
polynomial with the added programmability of the seed. If
enabled, the receiver verifies the calculated CRC16 for the
payload data against the received value in the CRC16 field.
The seed value for the CRC16 calculation is configurable, and
the CRC16 transmitted may be calculated using either the
loaded seed value or a zero seed; the received data CRC16
is checked against both the configured and zero CRC16
seeds.
CRC16 detects the following errors:
• Any one bit in error
• Any two bits in error (no matter how far apart, which column,
and so on)
• Any odd number of bits in error (no matter where they are)
• An error burst as wide as the checksum itself
Figure 2 shows an example packet with SOP, CRC16 and
lengths fields enabled, and Figure 3 on page 4 shows a
standard ACK packet.

Packet Buffers
All data transmission and reception uses the 16 byte packet
buffers—one for transmission and one for reception.
The transmit buffer allows a complete packet of up to 16 bytes
of payload data to be loaded in one burst SPI transaction, and
then transmitted with no further MCU intervention. Similarly,
the receive buffer allows an entire packet of payload data up
to 16 bytes to be received with no firmware intervention
required until packet reception is complete.
The CYRF6936 IC supports packets up to 255 bytes.
However, actual maximum packet length depends on the
accuracy of the clock on each end of the link and the data
mode; interrupts are provided to allow an MCU to use the
transmit and receive buffers as FIFOs. When transmitting a
packet longer than 16 bytes, the MCU can load 16 bytes
initially, and add further bytes to the transmit buffer as transmission of data creates space in the buffer. Similarly, when
receiving packets longer than 16 bytes, the MCU must fetch
received data from the FIFO periodically during packet
reception to prevent it from overflowing.
Auto Transaction Sequencer (ATS)
The CYRF6936 IC provides automated support for transmission and reception of acknowledged data packets.
When transmitting in transaction mode, the device automatically:
• Starts the crystal and synthesizer
• Enters transmit mode
• Transmits the packet in the transmit buffer
• Transitions to receive mode and waits for an ACK packet
• Transitions to the transaction end state when either an ACK
packet is received, or a timeout period expires
Similarly, when receiving in transaction mode, the device
automatically:
• Waits in receive mode for a valid packet to be received
• Transitions to transmit mode, transmits an ACK packet
• Transitions to the transaction end state (receive mode to
await the next packet, and so on.)
The contents of the packet buffers are not affected by the
transmission or reception of ACK packets.
In each case, the entire packet transaction takes place without
any need for MCU firmware action (as long as packets of 16
bytes or less are used); to transmit data the MCU simply must
load the data packet to be transmitted, set the length, and set
the TX GO bit. Similarly, when receiving packets in transaction
mode, firmware simply must retrieve the fully received packet
Document #: 38-16015 Rev. *G
*N o te :3 2 o r 6 4 u s
in response to an interrupt request indicating reception of a
packet.
Backward Compatibility
The CYRF6936 IC is fully interoperable with the main modes
of the first generation devices. The 62.5 kbps mode is
supported by selecting 32 chip DDR mode. Similarly, the
15.675 kbps mode is supported by selecting 64 chip SDR
mode.
In this way, a suitably configured CYRF6936 IC device may
transmit data to or receive data from a first generation device,
or both. Backwards compatibility requires disabling the SOP,
length, and CRC16 fields.
Data Rates
By combining the PN code lengths and data transmission
modes described previously, the CYRF6936 IC supports the
following data rates:
• 1000 kbps (GFSK)
• 250 kbps (32 chip 8DR)
• 125 kbps (64 chip 8DR)
• 62.5 kbps (32 chip DDR)
• 31.25 kbps (64 chip DDR)
• 15.625 kbps (64 chip SDR)
Functional Block Overview
2.4 GHz Radio
The radio transceiver is a dual conversion low IF architecture
optimized for power and range/robustness. The radio employs
channel-matched filters to achieve high performance in the
presence of interference. An integrated Power Amplifier (PA)
provides up to +4 dBm transmit power, with an output power
control range of 34 dB in seven steps. The supply current of
the device is reduced as the RF output power is reduced.

Frequency Synthesizer
Before transmission or reception may begin, the frequency
synthesizer must settle. The settling time varies depending on
channel; 25 fast channels are provided with a maximum
settling time of 100 μs.
The ‘fast channels’ (less than 100 μs settling time) are every
third channel, starting at 0 up to and including 72 (for example,
0, 3, 6, 9….69, 72).
Baseband and Framer
The baseband and framer blocks provide the DSSS encoding
and decoding, SOP generation and reception and CRC16
generation and checking, as well as EOP detection and length
field.
Packet Buffers and Radio Configuration Registers
Packet data and configuration registers are accessed through
the SPI interface. All configuration registers are directly
addressed through the address field in the SPI packet (as in
the CYWUSB6934). Configuration registers allow configuration of DSSS PN codes, data rate, operating mode, interrupt
masks, interrupt status, and so on.
SPI Interface
The CYRF6936 IC has an SPI interface supporting communications between an application MCU and one or more slave
devices (including the CYRF6936). The SPI interface supports
single-byte and multi-byte serial transfers using either 4-pin or
3-pin interfacing. The SPI communications interface consists
of Slave Select (SS), Serial Clock (SCK), and Master
Out-Slave In (MOSI), Master In-Slave Out (MISO), or Serial
Data (SDAT).
The SPI communications are as follows:
• Command Direction (bit 7) = ‘1’ enables SPI write transaction. A ‘0’ enables SPI read transactions.
• Command Increment (bit 6) = ‘1’ enables SPI auto address
increment. When set, the address field automatically increments at the end of each data byte in a burst access,
otherwise the same address is accessed.
Document #: 38-16015 Rev. *G
• Six bits of address.
• Eight bits of data.
The device receives SCK from an application MCU on the SCK
pin. Data from the application MCU is shifted in on the MOSI
pin. Data to the application MCU is shifted out on the MISO
pin. The active LOW Slave Select (SS) pin must be asserted
to initiate an SPI transfer.
The application MCU can initiate SPI data transfers using a
multi-byte transaction. The first byte is the Command/Address
byte, and the following bytes are the data bytes as shown in
Figure 4 through Figure 7 on page 6.
The SPI communications interface has a burst mechanism,
where the first byte can be followed by as many data bytes as
desired. A burst transaction is terminated by deasserting the
slave select (SS = 1).
The SPI communications interface single read and burst read
sequences are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, respectively.
The SPI communications interface single write and burst write
sequences are shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8, respectively.
This interface may optionally be operated in a 3-pin mode with
the MISO and MOSI functions combined in a single bidirectional data pin (SDAT). When using 3-pin mode, user firmware
should ensure that the MOSI pin on the MCU is in a high
impedance state except when MOSI is actively transmitting
data.
The device registers may be written to or read from one byte
at a time, or several sequential register locations may be
written/read in a single SPI transaction using incrementing
burst mode. In addition to single byte configuration registers,
the device includes register files; register files are FIFOs
written to and read from using nonincrementing burst SPI
transactions.
The IRQ pin function may optionally be multiplexed onto the
MOSI pin; when this option is enabled the IRQ function is not
available while the SS pin is LOW. When using this configuration, user firmware should ensure that the MOSI pin on the
MCU is in a high impedance state whenever the SS pin is
HIGH.
The SPI interface is not dependent on the internal 12 MHz
clock. Registers may therefore be read from or written to while
the device is in sleep mode, and the 12 MHz oscillator
disabled.
The SPI interface and the IRQ and RST pins have a separate
voltage reference pin (VIO), enabling the device to interface
directly to MCUs operating at voltages below the CYRF6936
IC supply voltage.

CYRF6936
Interrupts
The device provides an interrupt (IRQ) output, which is configurable to indicate the occurrence of various different events.
The IRQ pin may be programmed to be either active HIGH or
active LOW, and be either a CMOS or open drain output. A full
description of all the available interrupts can be found in
“Register Descriptions” on page 12.
The CYRF6936 IC features three sets of interrupts: transmit,
receive, and system interrupts. These interrupts all share a
single pin (IRQ), but can be independently enabled/disabled.
The contents of the enable registers are preserved when
switching between transmit and receive modes.
If more than one interrupt is enabled at any time, it is
necessary to read the relevant status register to determine
which event caused the IRQ pin to assert. Even when a given
interrupt source is disabled, the status of the condition that
would otherwise cause an interrupt can be determined by
reading the appropriate status register. It is therefore possible
to use the devices without the IRQ pin by polling the status
registers to wait for an event, rather than using the IRQ pin.
Clocks
A 12 MHz crystal (30 ppm or better) is directly connected
between XTAL and GND without the need for external capacitors. A digital clock out function is provided, with selectable
output frequencies of 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, or 12 MHz. This output
may be used to clock an external microcontroller (MCU) or
ASIC. This output is enabled by default, but may be disabled.
Listed below are the requirements for the crystal to be directly
connected to XTAL pin and GND.
• Nominal Frequency: 12 MHz
• Operating Mode: Fundamental Mode
• Resonance Mode: Parallel Resonant
• Frequency Initial Stability: ±30 ppm
• Series Resistance: <60 ohms
• Load Capacitance: 10 pF
• Drive Level: 10 µW–100 µW
Power Management
The operating voltage of the device is 1.8V to 3.6V DC, which
is applied to the VBAT pin. The device can be shut down to a
fully static sleep mode by writing to the FRC END = 1 and END
STATE = 000 bits in the XACT_CFG_ADR register over the
SPI interface. The device enters sleep mode within 35 µs after
the last SCK positive edge at the end of this SPI transaction.
Alternatively, the device may be configured to automatically
enter sleep mode after completing packet transmission or
reception. When in sleep mode, the on-chip oscillator is
stopped, but the SPI interface remains functional. The device
wakes from sleep mode automatically when the device is
Document #: 38-16015 Rev. *G
commanded to enter transmit or receive mode. When
resuming from sleep mode, there is a short delay while the
oscillator restarts. The device can be configured to assert the
IRQ pin when the oscillator has stabilized.
The output voltage (VREG) of the Power Management Unit
(PMU) is configurable to several minimum values between
2.4V and 2.7V. VREG may be used to provide up to 15 mA
(average load) to external devices. It is possible to disable the
PMU, and to provide an externally regulated DC supply
voltage to the device’s main supply in the range 2.4V to 3.6V.
The PMU also provides a regulated 1.8V supply to the logic.
The PMU is designed to provide high boost efficiency
(74–85% depending on input voltage, output voltage and load)
when using a Schottky diode and power inductor, eliminating
the need for an external boost converter in many systems
where other components require a boosted voltage. However,
reasonable efficiencies (69–82% depending on input voltage,
output voltage, and load) may be achieved when using low
cost components such as SOT23 diodes and 0805 inductors.
The PMU also provides a configurable low battery detection
function, which may be read over the SPI interface. One of
seven thresholds between 1.8V and 2.7V may be selected.
The interrupt pin may be configured to assert when the voltage
on the VBAT pin falls below the configured threshold. LV IRQ
is not a latched event. Battery monitoring is disabled when the
device is in sleep mode.
Low Noise Amplifier and Received
Signal Strength Indication
The gain of the receiver can be controlled directly by clearing
the AGC EN bit and writing to the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)
bit of the RX_CFG_ADR register. Clearing the LNA bit reduces
the receiver gain approximately 20 dB, allowing accurate
reception of very strong received signals (for example when
operating a receiver very close to the transmitter). Approximately 30 dB of receiver attenuation can be added by setting
the Attenuation (ATT) bit; this allows data reception to be
limited to devices at very short ranges. Disabling AGC and
enabling LNA is recommended unless receiving from a device
using external PA.
When the device is in receive mode the RSSI_ADR register
returns the relative signal strength of the on-channel signal
power.
When receiving, the device automatically measures and
stores the relative strength of the signal being received as a
five bit value. An RSSI reading is taken automatically when the
SOP is detected. In addition, a new RSSI reading is taken
every time the previous reading is read from the RSSI_ADR
register, allowing the background RF energy level on any
given channel to be easily measured when RSSI is read when
no signal is being received. A new reading can occur as fast
as once every 12 µs.

TX Length
This register sets the length of the packet to be transmitted. A length of zero is valid, and transmits a packet with SOP, length
and CRC16 fields (if enabled), but no data field. Packet lengths of more than 16 bytes require that some data bytes be written
after transmission of the packet has begun. Typically, length is updated prior to setting TX GO. The maximum packet length for
all packets is 40 bytes except for framed 64 chip DDR where the maximum packet length is 16 bytes.
Maximum packet length is limited by the delta between the transmitter and receiver crystals of 60 ppm or better.

Bit 7
Start Transmission. Setting this bit triggers the transmission of a packet. Writing ‘0’ to this flag has no effect. This bit is cleared
automatically at the end of packet transmission. The transmit buffer may be loaded either before or after setting this bit. If data
is loaded after setting this bit, the length of time available to load the buffer depends on the starting state (sleep, idle or synth),
the length of the SOP code, the length of preamble, and the packet data rate. For example, if starting from idle mode on a fast
channel in 8DR mode with 32 chip SOP codes the time available is 100 μs (synth start) + 32 μs (preamble) + 64 μs (SOP
length) + 32 μs (length byte) = 228 μs. If there are no bytes in the TX buffer at the end of transmission of the length field, a
TXBERR IRQ occurs.

Function
The state of all IRQ status bits is valid regardless of whether or not the IRQ is enabled. The IRQ output of the device is in its active state
whenever one or more bits in this register is set and the corresponding IRQ enable bit is also set. Status bits are non-atomic (different flags
may change value at different times in response to a single event).
Bit 7
Oscillator Stable IRQ Status. This bit is set when the internal crystal oscillator has settled (synthesizer sequence starts).
Bit 6
Low Voltage Interrupt Status. This bit is set when the voltage on VBAT is below the LVI threshold (see PWR_CTL_ADR). This
interrupt is automatically disabled whenever the PMU is disabled. When enabled, this bit reflects the voltage on VBAT.
Bit 5
Buffer Not Full Interrupt Status. This bit is set whenever there are 15 or fewer bytes remaining in the transmit buffer.
Bit 4
Buffer Half Empty Interrupt Status. This bit is set whenever there are eight or fewer bytes remaining in the transmit buffer.
Bit 3
Buffer Empty Interrupt Status. This bit is set at any time that the transmit buffer is empty.
Bit 2
Buffer Error Interrupt Status. This IRQ is triggered by either of two events: (1) When the transmit buffer (TX_BUFFER_ADR) is
empty and the number of bytes remaining to be transmitted is greater than zero. (2) When a byte is written to the transmit buffer
and the buffer is already full. This IRQ is cleared by setting bit TX CLR in TX_CTRL_ADR.
Bit 1
Transmission Complete Interrupt Status. This IRQ is triggered when transmission is complete. If transaction mode is not
enabled then this interrupt is triggered immediately after transmission of the last bit of the CRC16. If transaction mode is
enabled, this interrupt is triggered at the end of a transaction. Reading this register clears this bit. TXC IRQ and TXE IRQ flags
may change value at different times in response to a single event. If transaction mode is enabled and the first read of this register returns TXC IRQ = 1 and TXE IRQ = 0 then firmware must execute a second read to this register to determine if an error
occurred by examining the status of TXE. There can be a case when this bit is not triggered when ACK EN = 1 and there is an
error in transmission. If the first read of this register returns TXC IRQ = 1 and TXE IRQ = 1, then the firmware must not execute
a second read from this register for a given transaction. If an ACK is received RXC IRQ and RXE IRQ may be asserted instead
of TXC IRQ and TXE IRQ.
Bit 0
Transmit Error Interrupt Status. This IRQ is triggered when there is an error in transmission. This interrupt is only applicable to
transaction mode. It is triggered whenever no valid ACK packet is received within the ACK timeout period. Reading this register
clears this bit. See TXC IRQ, above.

Start Receive. Setting this bit causes the device to transition to receive mode. If necessary, the crystal oscillator and synthesizer

Status bits are non-atomic (different flags may change value at different times in response to a single event).
Bit 7
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Enable. When this bit is set, AGC is enabled, and the LNA is controlled by the AGC circuit.
When this bit is cleared the LNA is controlled manually using the LNA bit. Typical applications clear this bit during initialization.
It is recommended that this bit be cleared and bit 6 (LNA) be set unless the device is used in a system where it may receive
data from a device using an external PA to transmit signals at more than +4 dBm.
Bit 6
Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) Manual Control. When AGC EN (Bit 7) is cleared, this bit controls the state of the receiver LNA;
when AGC EN is set, this bit has no effect. Setting this bit enables the LNA; clearing this bit disables the LNA. Device current in
receive mode is slightly lower when the LNA is disabled. Typical applications set this bit during initialization.
Bit 5
Receive Attenuator Enable. Setting this bit enables the receiver attenuator. The receiver attenuator may be used to desensitize
the receiver so that only very strong signals may be received. This bit should only be set when the AGC EN is disabled and the
LNA is manually disabled.
Bit 4
HILO. When FAST TURN EN is set, this bit is used to select whether the device uses the high frequency for the channel
selected, or the low frequency. 1 = hi; 0 = lo. When FAST TURN EN is not enabled this also controls the high-low bit to the
receiver and should be left at the default value of ‘1’ for high side receive injection. Typical applications clear this bit during initialization.
Bit 3
Fast Turn Mode Enable. When this bit is set, the HILO bit determines whether the device receives data transmitted 1 MHz
above the RX Synthesizer frequency or 1 MHz below the receiver synthesizer frequency. Use of this mode allows for very fast
turnaround, because the same synthesizer frequency may be used for both transmit and receive, thus eliminating the synthesizer resettling period between transmit and receive. Note that when this bit is set, and the HILO bit is cleared, received data
bits are automatically inverted to compensate for the inversion of data received on the ‘image’ frequency. Typical applications
set this bit during initialization.
Bit 1
Overwrite Enable. When this bit is set, if an SOP is detected while the receive buffer is not empty, then the existing contents of
receive buffer are lost, and the new packet is loaded into the receive buffer. When this bit is set, the RXOW IRQ is enabled. If
this bit is cleared, then the receive buffer may not be overwritten by a new packet, and whenever the receive buffer is not empty
SOP conditions are ignored, and it is not possible to receive data until the previously received packet has been completely read
from the receive buffer.
Bit 0
Valid Flag Enable. When this bit is set, the receive buffer can store up to eight bytes of data. Typically, this bit is set only when
interoperability with first generation devices is desired. See RX_BUFFER_ADR for more detail.

The state of all IRQ Status bits is valid regardless of whether or not the IRQ is enabled. The IRQ output of the device is in its active state
whenever one or more bits in this register is set and the corresponding IRQ enable bit is also set. Status bits are non-atomic (different flags
may change value at different times in response to a single event).
Bit 7
Receive Overwrite Interrupt Status. This IRQ is triggered when the receive buffer is overwritten by a packet being received
before the previous packet has been read from the buffer. This bit is cleared by writing any value to this register. This condition
is only possible when the RXOW EN bit in RX_CFG_ADR is set. This bit must be written ‘1’ by firmware before the new packet
may be read from the receive buffer.
Bit 6
Start of packet detect. This bit is set whenever the start of packet symbol is detected.
Bit 5
Receive Buffer Full Interrupt Status. This bit is set whenever the receive buffer is full, and cleared otherwise.
Bit 4
Receive Buffer Half Full Interrupt Status. This bit is set whenever there are eight or more bytes remaining in the receive buffer.
Firmware must read exactly eight bytes when reading RXB8 IRQ.
Bit 3
Receive Buffer Not Empty Interrupt Status. This bit is set any time that there are one or more bytes in the receive buffer, and
cleared when the receive buffer is empty. It is possible, in rare cases, that the last byte of a packet may remain in the buffer
even though the RXB1 IRQ flag has cleared. This can ONLY happen on the last byte of a packet and only if the packet data is
being read out of the buffer while the packet is still being received. The flag is trustworthy under all other conditions, and for all
bytes prior to the last. When using RXB1 IRQ and unloading the packet data during reception, the user must make sure the
RX_COUNT_ADR value, after the RXC IRQ/RXE IRQ, is set and unload the last remaining bytes if the number of bytes
unloaded is less than the reported count, even though the RXB1 IRQ is not set.
Bit 2
Receive Buffer Error Interrupt Status. This IRQ is triggered in one of two ways: (1) When the receive buffer is empty and there
is an attempt to read data (2) When the receive buffer is full and more data is received; this flag is cleared when RX GO is set
and a SOP is received.
Bit 1
Packet Receive Complete Interrupt Status. This IRQ is triggered when a packet has been received. If transaction mode is
enabled, then this bit is not set until after transmission of the ACK. If transaction mode is not enabled then this bit is set as soon
as a valid packet is received. This bit is cleared when this register is read. RXC IRQ and RXE IRQ flags may change value at
different times in response to a single event. There are cases when this bit is not triggered when ACK EN = 1 and there is an
error in reception. Therefore, firmware should examine RXC IRQ, RXE IRQ, and CRC 0 to determine receive status. If the first
read of this register returns RXC IRQ = 1 and RXE IRQ = 0 then firmware must execute a second read to this register to determine if an error occurred by examining the status of RXE IRQ. If the first read of this register returns RXC IRQ = 1 and
RXE IRQ = 1, then the firmware must not execute a second read to this register for a given transaction.
Bit 0
Receive Error Interrupt Status. This IRQ is triggered when there is an error in reception. It is triggered whenever a packet is
received with a bad CRC16, an unexpected EOP is detected, a packet type (data or ACK) mismatch, or a packet is dropped
because the receive buffer is still not empty when the next packet starts. The exact cause of the error may be determined by
reading RX_STATUS_ADR. This bit is cleared when this register is read.

packet.
Bit 6
Receive Packet Type Error. This bit is set when the packet type received is not what was expected and cleared when the
packet type received was as expected. For example, if a data packet is expected and an ACK is received, this bit is set.
Bit 5
Unexpected EOP. This bit is set when an EOP is detected before the expected data length and CRC16 fields have been
received. This bit is cleared when an SOP pattern for the next packet has been received. This includes the case where there
are invalid bits detected in the length field and the length field is forced to ‘0’.

Bit 3
Bad CRC16. This bit is set when the CRC16 of the last received packet is incorrect.
Bit 2

Power Management Unit (PMU) Enable. Setting this bit enables the PMU only if PMU Mode Force (bit 5) is set. Otherwise it
has no effect. See PMU Mode Force (bit 5) description for more information.
Bit 6
Low Voltage Interrupt Enable. Setting this bit enables the LV IRQ interrupt. When this interrupt is enabled, if the VBAT voltage
falls below the threshold set by LVI TH, a low voltage interrupt is generated. The LVI is not available when the device is in sleep
mode. The LVI event on IRQ pin is automatically disabled whenever the PMU is disabled.
Bit 5
PMU Mode Force. If this bit is set, the PMU operation is based on the state of the PMU Enable Bit (bit 7). if this bit is not set
then the PMU is disabled in Sleep mode and enabled when not in Sleep mode, if Bit 7 = 1. If Bit 7 = 1 and Bit 5 = 1, PMU is
enabled always (even during sleep). If Bit 7 = 0 and Bit 5 = 1, PMU is disabled always. If Bit 7 = 1and Bit 5 = 0, PMU is disabled
only in Sleep Mode.
Bits 3:2
Low Voltage Interrupt Threshold. This field sets the voltage on VBAT at which the LVI is triggered. 11 = 1.8V; 10 = 2.0V;
01 = 2.2V; 00 = PMU OUTV voltage.
Bits 1:0
PMU Output Voltage. This field sets the minimum output voltage of the PMU. 11 = 2.4V; 10 = 2.5V; 01 = 2.6V; 00 = 2.7V. When
the PMU is active, the voltage output by the PMU on VREG is never less than this voltage, provided that the total load on the
VREG pin is less than the specified maximum value, and the voltage in VBAT is greater than the specified minimum value.
The order of writing these bits impacts the value of the Sleep current ISB.

To use a GPIO pin as an input, the output mode must be set to open drain, and ‘1’ written to the corresponding output register bit.
Bit 7
IRQ Pin Drive Strength. Setting this bit configures the IRQ pin as an open drain output. Clearing this bit configures the IRQ pin
as a standard CMOS output, with the output ‘1’ drive voltage being equal to the VIO pin voltage.
Bit 6
IRQ Polarity. Setting this bit configures the IRQ signal polarity to be active HIGH. Clearing this bit configures the IRQ signal
polarity to be active low.
Bit 5
MISO Pin Drive Strength. Setting this bit configures the MISO pin as an open drain output. Clearing this bit configures the
MISO pin as a standard CMOS output, with the output ‘1’ drive voltage being equal to the VIO pin voltage.

Bit 2
PACTL Pin Function. When this bit is set, the PACTL pin is available for use as a GPIO.
Bit 1
SPI Mode. When this bit is cleared, the SPI interface acts as a standard 4-wire SPI Slave interface. When this bit is set, the SPI
interface operates in “3-Wire Mode” combining MISO and MOSI on the same pin (SDAT). The MISO pin is available as a GPIO
pin.
Bit 0
IRQ Pin Function. When this bit is cleared, the IRQ pin is asserted when an IRQ is active; the polarity of this IRQ signal is configurable in IRQ POL. When this bit is set, the IRQ pin is available for use as a GPIO pin, and the IRQ function is multiplexed
onto the MOSI pin. In this case the IRQ signal state is presented on the MOSI pin whenever the SS signal is inactive (HIGH).

ACK TO
Bit 7
Acknowledge Enable. When this bit is set, an ACK packet is automatically transmitted whenever a valid packet is received; in
this case the device is considered to be in transaction mode. After transmission of the ACK packet, the device automatically
transitions to the END STATE. When this bit is cleared, the device transitions directly to the END STATE immediately after the
end of packet transmission. This bit affects both transmitting and receiving devices.
Bit 5
Force End State. Setting this bit forces a transition to the state set in END STATE. By setting the desired END STATE at the
same time as setting this bit the device may be forced to immediately transition from its current state to any other state. This bit
is automatically cleared upon completion. Firmware MUST never try to force END STATE while TX GO is set, nor when RX GO
is set and a SOP has already been received (packet reception already in progress).
Bits 4:2
Transaction End State. This field defines the mode to which the device transitions after receiving or transmitting a packet. 000
= Sleep Mode; 001 = Idle Mode; 010 = Synth Mode (TX); 011 = Synth Mode (RX); 100 = RX Mode. In normal use, this field is
typically set to ‘000’ or ‘001’ when the device is transmitting packets, and ‘100’ when the device is receiving packets. Note that
when the device transitions to receive mode as an END STATE, the receiver must still be armed by setting RX GO before the
device can begin receiving data. If the system only supports packets less than or equal to 16 bytes then firmware should examine RXC IRQ and RXE IRQ to determine the status of the packet. If the system supports packets more than 16 bytes, make
sure that END STATE is not sleep, force RXF = 1, perform receive operation, force RXF = 0, and if necessary set END STATE
back to sleep.
Bits 1:0
ACK Timeout. When the device is configured for transaction mode, this field sets the timeout period after transmission of a
packet during which an ACK must be correctly received in order to prevent a transmit error condition from being detected. This
timeout period is expressed in terms of a number of SOP_CODE_ADR code lengths; if SOP LEN is set, then the timeout period
is this value multiplied by 64 μs and if SOP LEN is cleared then the timeout is this value multiplied by 32 μs. 00 = 4x; 01 = 8x,
10 = 12x; 11 = 15x the SOP_CODE_ADR code length. ACK_TO must be set to greater than 30 + Data Code Length (only for
8DR) + Preamble Length + SOP Code Length (x2).

Bit 7
SOP Enable. When this bit is set, each transmitted packet begins with a SOP field, and only packets beginning with a valid
SOP field are received. If this bit is cleared, no SOP field is generated when a packet is transmitted, and packet reception
begins whenever two successive correlations against the DATA_CODE_ADR code are detected.
Bit 6
SOP PN Code Length. When this bit is set the SOP_CODE_ADR code length is 64 chips. When this bit is cleared the
SOP_CODE_ADR code length is 32 chips.
Bit 5
Packet Length Enable. When this bit is set the 8 bit value contained in TX_LENGTH_ADR is transmitted immediately after the
SOP field. In receive mode, the 8 bits immediately following the SOP field are interpreted as the length of the packet. When this
bit is cleared no packet length field is transmitted. 8DR always sends the packet length field (LEN EN setting is ignored). GFSK
requires user set LEN EN = 1.
Bits 4:0
SOP Correlator Threshold. This is the receive data correlator threshold used when attempting to detect a SOP symbol. There
is a single threshold for the SOP_CODE_ADR code. This threshold is applied independently to each of SOP1 and SOP2 fields.
When SOP LEN is set, all 5 bits of this field are used. When SOP LEN is cleared, the most significant bit is disregarded. Typical
applications configure SOP TH = 04h for SOP32 and SOP TH = 0Eh for SOP64.

RSSI
A Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) reading is taken automatically when an SOP symbol is detected. In addition, an RSSI reading is
taken whenever RSSI_ADR is read. The contents of this register are not valid after the device is configured for receive mode until either a SOP
symbol is detected, or the register is (re)read. The conversion can occur as often as once every 12 μs. The approximate slope of the curve is
1.9 dB/count, but is not guaranteed.
If it is desired to measure the background RF signal strength on a channel before a packet has been received then the MCU should perform
a “dummy” read of this register, the results of which should be discarded. This “dummy” read causes an RSSI measurement to be taken, and
therefore subsequent readings of the register yield valid data.
Bit 7
SOP RSSI Reading. When set, this bit indicates that the reading in the RSSI field was taken when a SOP symbol was
detected. When cleared, this bit indicates that the reading stored in the RSSI field was triggered by a previous SPI read of this
register.
Bit 5
LNA State. This bit indicates the LNA state when the RSSI reading was taken. When cleared, this bit indicates that the LNA
was disabled when the RSSI reading was taken; if set this bit indicates that the LNA was enabled when the RSSI reading was
taken.
Bits 4:0
RSSI Reading. This field indicates the instantaneous strength of the RF signal being received at the time that the RSSI reading
was taken. A larger value indicates a stronger signal. The signal strength measured is for the RF signal on the configured channel, and is measured after the LNA stage.

STRIM LSB
The least significant 8 bits of the synthesizer offset value. This is a 12 bit 2’s complement signed number, which may be used to
offset the transmit frequency of the device by up to ±1.5 MHz. A positive value increases the transmit frequency, and a negative
value reduces the transmit frequency. A value of +1 increases the transmit frequency by 732.6 Hz; a value of –1 decreases the
transmit frequency by 732.6 Hz. A value of 0x0555 increases the transmit frequency by 1 MHz; a value of 0xAAB decreases
the transmit frequency by 1 MHz. Typically, this register is loaded with 0x55 during initialization. This feature is used to avoid
the need to change the synthesizer frequency when switching between TX and RX. As the IF = 1 MHz the RX frequency is offset 1 MHz from the synthesizer frequency; therefore, transmitting with a 1 MHz offset allows the same synthesizer frequency to
be used for both transmit and receive.
Synthesizer offset has no effect on receive frequency.

Receive Invert. When set, the incoming receive data is inverted. Firmware MUST set this bit when interoperability with first generation devices is desired.
Bit 0
All Slow. When set, the synth settling time for all channels is the same as for slow channels. It is recommended that firmware
set this bit when using GFSK data rate mode.
Register Files
Files are written to or read from using nonincrementing burst read or write transactions. In most cases, accessing a file may be
destructive; the file must be completely read/written, otherwise the contents may be altered. When accessing file registers, the
bytes are presented to the bus least significant byte first.
Mnemonic
TX_BUFFER_ADR
Address
0x20
Length
16 Bytes
R/W
W
Default
0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The transmit buffer is a FIFO. Writing to this file adds a byte to the packet being sent. Writing more bytes to this file than the packet length in
TX_LENGTH_ADR has no effect, and these bytes are lost. The FIFO accumulates data until it is reset using TX CLR in TX_CTRL_ADR. A
previously sent packet, of 16 bytes or less, can be transmitted if TX_GO is set without resetting the FIFO. The contents of TX_BUFFER_ADR
are not affected by the transmission of an Auto ACK.
Mnemonic
RX_BUFFER_ADR
Address
0x21
Length
16 Bytes
R/W
R
Default
0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The receive buffer is a FIFO. Received bytes may be read from this file register at any time that it is not empty, but when reading from this file
register before a packet has been completely received care must be taken to ensure that error packets (for example with bad CRC16) are
handled correctly.
When the receive buffer is configured to be overwritten by new packets (the alternative is for new packets to be discarded if the receive buffer
is not empty), similar care must be taken to verify after the packet has been read from the buffer that no part of it was overwritten by a newly
received packet while this file register is being read.
When the VLD EN bit in RX_CFG_ADR is set, the bytes in this file register alternate—the first byte read is data, the second byte is a valid flag
for each bit in the first byte, the third byte is data, the fourth byte valid flags, and so on. In SDR and DDR modes the valid flag for a bit is set if
the correlation coefficient for the bit exceeds the correlator threshold, and is cleared if it does not. In 8DR mode, the MSB of a valid flags byte
indicates whether or not the correlation coefficient of the corresponding received symbol exceeds the threshold. The seven LSBs contain the
number of erroneous chips received for the data.

Default
0x17FF9E213690C782
When using 32 chip SOP_CODE_ADR codes, only the first four bytes of this register are used; in order to complete the file write process, these
four bytes must be followed by four bytes of “dummy” data. However, a class of codes known as “multiplicative codes” may be used; there are
64 chip codes with good auto-correlation and cross-correlation properties where the least significant 32 chips themselves have good auto-correlation and cross-correlation properties when used as 32 chip codes. In this case the same eight byte value may be loaded into this file and
used for both 32 chip and 64 chip SOP symbols.
When reading this file, all eight bytes must be read; if fewer than eight bytes are read from the file, the contents of the file will have been rotated
by the number of bytes read. This applies to writes, as well.
Do not access or modify this register during Transmit or Receive.

In GFSK mode, this file register is ignored.
In 64 SDR mode, only the first eight bytes are used.
In 32 DDR mode, only eight bytes are used. The format for these eight bytes: 0x00000000BBBBBBBB00000000AAAAAAAA, where ‘0’
represents unused locations. Example: 0x00000000B2BB092B00000000B86BC0DC; where “B86BC0DC” represents AAAAAAAA,
“00000000” represents unused locations, “B2BB092B” represents BBBBBBBB, and “00000000” represents unused locations.
In 64 DDR and 8DR modes, all sixteen bytes are used.
When reading this file, all sixteen bytes must be read; if fewer than sixteen bytes are read from the file, the contents of the file will have been
rotated by the number of bytes read. This applies to writes, as well.
Certain 16 byte sequences have been calculated that provide excellent auto-correlation and cross-correlation properties, and it is recommended
that such sequences be used; the default value of this register is one such sequence. In typical applications, all devices use the same
DATA_CODE_ADR codes, and devices and systems are addressed by using different SOP_CODE_ADR codes; in such cases it may never
be necessary to change the contents of this register from the default value.
Typical applications should use the default code.
Do not access or modify this register during Transmit or Receive.

1st byte – The number of repetitions of the preamble sequence that are to be transmitted. The preamble may be disabled by writing 0x00 to
this byte.
2nd byte – Least significant eight chips of the preamble sequence
3rd byte – Most significant eight chips of the preamble sequence
If using 64 SDR to communicate with CYWUSB69xx devices, set number of repetitions to four for optimum performance
When reading this file, all three bytes must be read; if fewer than three bytes are read from the file, the contents of the file will have been rotated
by the number of bytes read. This also applies to writes.
