The module is based on the RF transceiver circuit from SEMTECH, the XE1203F. For more information on the XE1203F, please refer to the XE1203F datasheet. The module incorporates an antenna switch and a SAW Filter placed on the Rx path.

The output signal, SO, is provided by the DP1203F in opposition to the SCK and SI which needs to be provided by the external application as an 8-bit microcontroller. An access Read or Write with the XE1203F is possible only when the enable signal is active (active LOW).

This may occur when the XE1203F is required to switch quickly between receive and transmit mode, when it has to operate on two different carrier frequencies, or when it has to switch between the high linearity mode B and the high sensitivity mode A. For that purpose, the five parameters stored in the SWParam Configuration Register are duplicated: the configuration set#1 and the configuration set #2. Depending on the ConfigSwitch 1-bit Register or the input level at the SWITCH pin, the XE1203F transceiver will use either the SWParam configuration set#1 or the set #2. If the RTParam_Switch_ext configuration parameter is low, then the SWParam configuration set is selected by the ConfigSwitch parameter – set#1 if ConfigSwitch is “0”, set#2 if ConfigSwitch is “1”. If the RTParam_Switch_ext configuration parameter is high, then the SWParam configuration set is selected by the SWITCH pin – set#1 if SWITCH is low, set#2 if SWITCH is high. ConfigSwitch Register 0 SWITCH pin SWITCH is an output: RTParam_switch_ext configuration parameter 0 SWParam_mode_1 SWParam_Power_1 SWParam_Rmode_1 SWParam_t_delsig_in_1 SWParam_freq_1 ‘1’ in transmitter mode ‘0’ in the other modes 1 SWITCH is an output: 0 Set #2: SWParam_mode_2 SWParam_Power_2 SWParam_Rmode_2 SWParam_t_delsig_in_2 SWParam_freq_2 ‘1’ in transmitter mode ‘0’ in the other modes X SWParam configuration set selected Set #1: 0 1 Set #1: SWParam_mode_1 SWParam_Power_1 SWParam_Rmode_1 SWParam_t_delsig_in_1 SWParam_freq_1 X 1 1 Set #2: SWParam_mode_2 SWParam_Power_2 SWParam_Rmode_2 SWParam_t_delsig_in_2 SWParam_freq_2 ConfigSwitch, SWITCH pin and SWParam Configuration Register For more information about the modes of operation, please refer to the XE1203F Datasheet. © Semtech 2006 www.semtech.com 8 DP1203F 433/868/915 MHz RF Modules 5.1 STANDARD SEQUENCE FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER The drop-in module DP1203F is able to switch between any configuration by using the 3-wire bus or by using the pin SWITCH.
