The CC11x1-Q1 devices feature a low intermediate frequency (IF) receiver. The received radio frequency (RF) signal is amplified by the low-noise amplifier (LNA) and down-converted in a quadrature (I and Q) to the IF. At IF, the I/Q signals are digitized by the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Automatic gain control (AGC), fine channel filtering, and demodulation bit/packet synchronization is performed digitally. The transmitter part of CC11x1-Q1 is based on direct synthesis of the RF frequency. The frequency synthesizer includes a completely on-chip LC voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a 90° phase shifter for generating the I and Q signals, and it is also used for the down-conversion mixers in receive mode. A crystal must be connected to XOSC_Q1 and XOSC_Q2. The crystal oscillator generates the reference frequency for the synthesizer as well as the clocks for the ADC and the digital part.

The recommended application circuits are shown in Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3. Typical values for the external components are given in Table 3-2. Bias Resistor The bias resistor R171 is used to set an accurate bias current. Balun and RF Matching The components between the RF_N/RF_P pins and the point where the two signals are joined together (C131, C122, L121, and L131 for the 315/433-MHz reference design [5], or L101, L111, C111, L121, C131, C122, and L131 for the 868/915-MHz reference design [6]) form a balun that converts the differential RF signal on CC11x1-Q1 to a single-ended RF signal. C125 is needed for dc blocking. Together with an appropriate LC network, the balun components also transform the impedance to match a 50-Ω antenna or cable. Suggested values for 315 MHz, 433 MHz, and 868/915 MHz are listed in Table 3-2. Crystal The reference oscillator uses an external 26-MHz or 27-MHz crystal with two loading capacitors (C81 and C101). See Section 3.22 for details. Additional Filtering Additional external components (e.g., an RF SAW filter) may be used to improve the performance in specific applications. Power Supply Decoupling The power supply must be properly decoupled close to the supply pins. A short and proper GND connection is also essential for the functionality of the device. 20 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 R171 VDD C31 26 SO (GDO1) NC 17 GND 19 RBIAS 20 AVDD_CHP 18 25 SCLK AVDD_GUARD 21 SCLK SO (GDO1) AGND_GUARD 22 NC 24 SI 23 SI NC 16 AVDD_RF3 15 CC11x1-Q1 31 DVDD2 GND 10 L123 C125 C122 C123 C124 L121 C121 8 GND 7 XOSC_Q2 5 XOSC_Q1 6 AVDD_IF AVDD_RF1 9 4 CS 2 DCOUPL2 1 GND 3 GDO0(ATEST) AVDD_RF2 11 32 DCOUPL1 L122 RF_P 12 30 DVDD1 C51 L131 RF_N 13 29 GND C21 C131 GND 14 27 NC/GND 28 GDO2 GDO2 Antenna (50 W) C41 GDO0 XTAL CS C81 C101 Figure 3-2.

The SmartRF Studio software is highly recommended for obtaining optimum register settings and for evaluating performance and functionality. A screenshot of the SmartRF Studio user interface for CC11x1-Q1 is shown in Figure 3-5. After chip reset, all the registers have default values as shown in Section 4. The optimum register setting might differ from the default value. Therefore, after a reset, all registers that are different from the default value need to be programmed through the SPI interface. For the CC11x1-Q1 device, the settings of the CC1101 are valid.

SmartRF Studio User Interface 3.6 4-Wire Serial Configuration and Data Interface CC11x1-Q1 is configured via a simple 4-wire SPI-compatible interface (SI, SO, SCLK, and CS) where CC11x1-Q1 is the slave. This interface is also used to read and write buffered data. All transfers on the SPI interface are done most significant bit first. All transactions on the SPI interface start with a header byte containing a R/W bit, a burst access bit (B), and a 6-bit address (A5 to A0). The CS pin must be kept low during transfers on the SPI bus. If CS goes high during the transfer of a header byte or during read/write from/to a register, the transfer is canceled. The timing for the address and data transfer on the SPI interface is shown in Figure 3-6 with reference to Section 2.15. When CS is pulled low, the MCU must wait until CC11x1-Q1 SO pin goes low before starting to transfer the header byte. This indicates that the crystal is running. Unless the chip was in the SLEEP or XOFF states, the SO pin goes low immediately after taking CS low. 24 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com Note: SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 See Section 2.15 for SPI interface timing specifications. Figure 3-6. Configuration Registers Write and Read Operations 3.6.1 Chip Status Byte When the header byte, data byte, or command strobe is sent on the SPI interface, the chip status byte is sent by the CC11x1-Q1 on the SO pin. The status byte contains key status signals, useful for the MCU. The first bit, s7, is the CHIP_RDYn signal. This signal must go low before the first positive edge of SCLK. The CHIP_RDYn signal indicates that the crystal is running. The STATE value comprises bits 6, 5, and 4. This value reflects the state of the chip. The XOSC and power to the digital core is on in the IDLE state, but all other modules are in power down. The frequency and channel configuration should be updated only when the chip is in this state. The RX state is active when the chip is in receive mode. Likewise, TX is active when the chip is transmitting. The last four bits (3:0) in the status byte contain FIFO_BYTES_AVAILABLE. For read operations (the R/W bit in the header byte is set to 1), the FIFO_BYTES_AVAILABLE field contains the number of bytes available for reading from the RX FIFO. For write operations (the R/W bit in the header byte is set to 0), the FIFO_BYTES_AVAILABLE field contains the number of bytes that can be written to the TX FIFO. When FIFO_BYTES_AVAILABLE = 15, 15 or more bytes are available/free. Table 3-3 gives a status byte summary. Table 3-3.

Table 4-2 lists all configuration registers. SmartRF Studio should be used to generate optimum register settings. The detailed description of each register is found in Section 4.2. All configuration registers can be both written to and read. The R/W bit controls if the register should be written to or read. When writing to registers, the status byte is sent on the SO pin each time a header byte or data byte is transmitted on the SI pin. When reading from registers, the status byte is sent on the SO pin each time a header byte is transmitted on the SI pin. Registers with consecutive addresses can be accessed efficiently by setting the burst bit (B) in the header byte. The address bits (A5 to A0) set the start address in an internal address counter. This counter is incremented by one each new byte (every 8 clock pulses). The burst access is either a read or a write access and must be terminated by setting CS high. For register addresses in the range 0x30 to 0x3D, the burst bit is used to select between status registers, burst bit is one, and command strobes, burst bit is zero (see 10.4 below). Because of this, burst access is not available for status registers and they must be accessed one at a time. The status registers can only be read. 3.6.3 SPI Read When reading register fields over the SPI interface while the register fields are updated by the radio hardware (e.g., MARCSTATE or TXBYTES), there is a small, but finite, probability that a single read from the register is being corrupt. As an example, the probability of any single read from TXBYTES being corrupt, assuming the maximum data rate is used, is approximately 80 ppm. See the CC1101 errata notes (SWRZ020) for more details. 3.6.4 Command Strobes Command strobes may be viewed as single byte instructions to CC11x1-Q1. By addressing a command strobe register, internal sequences are started. These commands are used to disable the crystal oscillator, enable receive mode, enable wake-on-radio etc. The 13 command strobes are listed in Table 4-1. The command strobe registers are accessed by transferring a single header byte (no data is being transferred). That is, only the R/W bit, the burst access bit (set to 0), and the six address bits (in the range 0x30 through 0x3D) are written. The R/W bit can be either one or zero and determines how the FIFO_BYTES_AVAILABLE field in the status byte should be interpreted. When writing command strobes, the status byte is sent on the SO pin. A command strobe may be followed by any other SPI access without pulling CS high. However, if an SRES strobe is being issued, wait for SO to go low again before the next header byte is issued, as shown in Figure 3-7. The command strobes are executed immediately, with the exception of the SPWD and the SXOFF strobes that are executed when CS goes high. CSn SO SI Header SRES Header Addr Data Figure 3-7. SRES Command Strobe 3.6.5 FIFO Access The 64-byte TX FIFO and the 64-byte RX FIFO are accessed through the 0x3F address. When the R/W bit is zero, the TX FIFO is accessed, and the RX FIFO is accessed when the R/W bit is one. The TX FIFO is write-only, while the RX FIFO is read-only. 26 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 The burst bit is used to determine if the FIFO access is a single byte access or a burst access. The single byte access method expects a header byte with the burst bit set to zero and one data byte. After the data byte a new header byte is expected; hence, CS can remain low. The burst access method expects one header byte and then consecutive data bytes until terminating the access by setting CS high. The following header bytes access the FIFOs: • 0x3F: Single byte access to TX FIFO • 0x7F: Burst access to TX FIFO • 0xBF: Single byte access to RX FIFO • 0xFF: Burst access to RX FIFO When writing to the TX FIFO, the status byte (see Section 3.6.1) is output for each new data byte on SO, as shown in Figure 3-6. This status byte can be used to detect TX FIFO underflow while writing data to the TX FIFO. Note that the status byte contains the number of bytes free before writing the byte in progress to the TX FIFO. When the last byte that fits in the TX FIFO is transmitted on SI, the status byte received concurrently on SO indicates that one byte is free in the TX FIFO. The TX FIFO may be flushed by issuing a SFTX command strobe. Similarly, a SFRX command strobe flushes the RX FIFO. A SFTX or SFRX command strobe can only be issued in the IDLE, TXFIFO_UNDERFLOW, or RXFIFO_OVERFLOW states. Both FIFOs are flushed when going to the SLEEP state. Figure 3-8 gives a brief overview of different register access types possible. Figure 3-8. Register Access Types 3.6.6 PATABLE Access The 0x3E address is used to access the PATABLE, which is used for selecting PA power control settings. The SPI expects up to eight data bytes after receiving the address. By programming the PATABLE, controlled PA power ramp-up and ramp-down can be achieved, as well as ASK modulation shaping for reduced bandwidth. See SmartRF Studio for recommended shaping / PA ramping sequences. See Section 3.20 for details on output power programming. The PATABLE is an 8-byte table that defines the PA control settings to use for each of the eight PA power values (selected by the 3-bit value FREND0.PA_POWER). The table is written and read from the lowest setting (0) to the highest (7), one byte at a time. An index counter is used to control the access to the table. This counter is incremented each time a byte is read or written to the table, and set to the lowest index when CS is high. When the highest value is reached the counter restarts at zero. The access to the PATABLE is either single byte or burst access depending on the burst bit. When using burst access the index counter counts up; when reaching 7 the counter restarts at 0. The R/W bit controls whether the access is a read or a write access. If one byte is written to the PATABLE and this value is to be read out then CS must be set high before the read access to set the index counter back to zero. Note that the content of the PATABLE is lost when entering the SLEEP state, except for the first byte (index 0).

This microcontroller must be able to: Program CC11x1-Q1 into different modes Read and write buffered data Read back status information via the 4-wire SPI-bus configuration interface (SI, SO, SCLK and CS). Configuration Interface The microcontroller uses four I/O pins for the SPI configuration interface (SI, SO, SCLK and CS). The SPI is described in Section 3.6. 3.7.2 General Control and Status Pins The CC11x1-Q1 has two dedicated configurable pins (GDO0 and GDO2) and one shared pin (GDO1) that can output internal status information useful for control software. These pins can be used to generate interrupts on the MCU. See Section 3.25 for more details on the signals that can be programmed. GDO1 is shared with the SO pin in the SPI interface. The default setting for GDO1/SO is 3-state output. By selecting any other of the programming options, the GDO1/SO pin becomes a generic pin. When CS is low, the pin functions as a normal SO pin. In the synchronous and asynchronous serial modes, the GDO0 pin is used as a serial TX data input pin while in transmit mode. The GDO0 pin can also be used for an on-chip analog temperature sensor. By measuring the voltage on the GDO0 pin with an external ADC, the temperature can be calculated. Specifications for the temperature sensor are found in Section 2.12. With default PTEST register setting (0x7F) the temperature sensor output is available only when the frequency synthesizer is enabled (e.g., the MANCAL, FSTXON, RX, and TX states). It is necessary to write 0xBF to the PTEST register to use the analog temperature sensor in the IDLE state. Before leaving the IDLE state, the PTEST register should be restored to its default value (0x7F). 3.7.3 Optional Radio-Control Feature The CC11x1-Q1 has an optional way of controlling the radio by reusing SI, SCLK, and CS from the SPI interface. This allows simple three-pin control of the major states of the radio: SLEEP, IDLE, RX, and TX. This optional functionality is enabled with the MCSM0.PIN_CTRL_EN configuration bit. State changes are commanded as follows: When CS is high, the SI and SCLK is set to the desired state according to Table 3-4. When CS goes low, the state of SI and SCLK is latched and a command strobe is generated internally according to the pin configuration. It is only possible to change state with this functionality. That means that, for instance, RX is not restarted if SI and SCLK are set to RX and CS toggles. When CS is low, the SI and SCLK has normal SPI functionality. All pin control command strobes are executed immediately, except the SPWD strobe, which is delayed until CS goes high. Table 3-4.

The data rate is given by the formula below. As the formula shows, the programmed data rate depends on the crystal frequency.

The MDMCFG4.CHANBW_E and MDMCFG4.CHANBW_M configuration registers control the receiver channel filter bandwidth, which scales with the crystal oscillator frequency. Equation 3 gives the relation between the register settings and the channel filter bandwidth: BWchannel = fXOSC 8 × (4 + CHANBW_M) × 2 CHANBW_E (3) The CC11x1-Q1 supports the channel filter bandwidths shown in Table 3-6.

The channel center tolerance due to crystal accuracy should also be subtracted from the signal bandwidth, as shown in the following example. With the channel filter bandwidth set to 500 kHz, the signal should stay within 80% of 500 kHz, which is 400 kHz. Assuming 915-MHz frequency and ±20-ppm frequency uncertainty for both the transmitting device and the receiving device, the total frequency uncertainty is ±40 ppm of 915 MHz, which is ±37 kHz. If the whole transmitted signal bandwidth is to be received within 400 kHz, the transmitted signal bandwidth should be maximum 400 kHz – (2 × 37 kHz), which is 326 kHz. 3.10 Demodulator, Symbol Synchronizer, and Data Decision CC11x1-Q1 contains an advanced and highly configurable demodulator. Channel filtering and frequency offset compensation are performed digitally. To generate the RSSI level (see Section 3.13.3 for more information) the signal level in the channel is estimated. Data filtering is also included for enhanced performance. 3.10.1 Frequency Offset Compensation When using 2-FSK, GFSK, or MSK modulation, the demodulator compensates for the offset between the transmitter and receiver frequency, within certain limits, by estimating the center of the received data. This value is available in the FREQEST status register. Writing the value from FREQEST into FSCTRL0.FREQOFF the frequency synthesizer is automatically adjusted according to the estimated frequency offset. The tracking range of the algorithm is selectable as fractions of the channel bandwidth with the FOCCFG.FOC_LIMIT configuration register. If the FOCCFG.FOC_BS_CS_GATE bit is set, the offset compensator freezes until carrier sense asserts. This may be useful when the radio is in RX for long periods with no traffic, because the algorithm may drift to the boundaries when trying to track noise. The tracking loop has two gain factors, which affect the settling time and noise sensitivity of the algorithm. FOCCFG.FOC_PRE_K sets the gain before the sync word is detected, and FOCCFG.FOC_POST_K selects the gain after the sync word has been found. NOTE Frequency offset compensation is not supported for ASK or OOK modulation. 3.10.2 Bit Synchronization The bit synchronization algorithm extracts the clock from the incoming symbols. The algorithm requires that the expected data rate is programmed as described in Section 3.8. Resynchronization is performed continuously to adjust for error in the incoming symbol rate. 3.10.3 Byte Synchronization Byte synchronization is achieved by a continuous sync word search. The sync word is a 16-bit configurable field (can be repeated to get a 32 bit) that is automatically inserted at the start of the packet 30 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 by the modulator in transmit mode. The demodulator uses this field to find the byte boundaries in the stream of bits. The sync word also functions as a system identifier, because only packets with the correct predefined sync word are received if the sync word detection in RX is enabled in register MDMCFG2 (see Section 3.13.1). The sync word detector correlates against the user-configured 16- or 32-bit sync word. The correlation threshold can be set to 15/16, 16/16, or 30/32 bits match. The sync word can be further qualified using the preamble quality indicator mechanism described below and/or a carrier sense condition. The sync word is configured through the SYNC1 and SYNC0 registers. To make false detections of sync words less likely, a mechanism called preamble quality indication (PQI) can be used to qualify the sync word. A threshold value for the preamble quality must be exceeded in order for a detected sync word to be accepted. See Section 3.13.2 for more details. 3.11 Packet Handling Hardware Support The CC11x1-Q1 has built-in hardware support for packet oriented radio protocols. In transmit mode, the packet handler can be configured to add the following elements to the packet stored in the TX FIFO: • A programmable number of preamble bytes • A two byte synchronization (sync) word. Can be duplicated to give a 4-byte sync word (recommended). It is not possible to insert only preamble or insert only a sync word. • A CRC checksum computed over the data field. The recommended setting is 4-byte preamble and 4-byte sync word, except for 500 kBaud data rate where the recommended preamble length is 8 bytes. In addition, the following can be implemented on the data field and the optional 2-byte CRC checksum: • Whitening of the data with a PN9 sequence. • Forward error correction by the use of interleaving and coding of the data (convolutional coding) In receive mode, the packet handling support deconstructs the data packet by implementing the following (if enabled): • Preamble detection • Sync word detection • CRC computation and CRC check • One byte address check • Packet length check (length byte checked against a programmable maximum length) • Dewhitening • Deinterleaving and decoding Optionally, two status bytes (see Table 3-7 and Table 3-8) with RSSI value, Link Quality Indication, and CRC status can be appended in the RX FIFO.

This results in the smoothest power distribution over the occupied bandwidth. This also gives the regulation loops in the receiver uniform operation conditions (no data dependencies). Real-world data often contain long sequences of zeros and ones. Performance can then be improved by whitening the data before transmitting, and dewhitening the data in the receiver. With CC11x1-Q1, this can be done automatically by setting PKTCTRL0.WHITE_DATA = 1. All data, except the preamble and the sync word, are then XORed with a 9-bit pseudo-random (PN9) sequence before being transmitted, as shown in Figure 3-9. At the receiver end, the data are XORed with the same pseudo-random sequence. This way, the whitening is reversed, and the original data appear in the receiver. The PN9 sequence is initialized to all ones. Figure 3-9. Data Whitening in TX Mode 3.11.2 Packet Format The format of the data packet can be configured and consists of the following items (see Figure 3-10): • Preamble • Synchronization word • Optional length byte • Optional address byte • Payload • Optional 2-byte CRC 32 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 Figure 3-10. Packet Format The preamble pattern is an alternating sequence of ones and zeros (10101010…). The minimum length of the preamble is programmable. When enabling TX, the modulator starts transmitting the preamble. When the programmed number of preamble bytes has been transmitted, the modulator sends the sync word and then data from the TX FIFO if data is available. If the TX FIFO is empty, the modulator continues to send preamble bytes until the first byte is written to the TX FIFO. The modulator then sends the sync word and then the data bytes. The number of preamble bytes is programmed with the MDMCFG1.NUM_PREAMBLE value. The synchronization word is a two-byte value set in the SYNC1 and SYNC0 registers. The sync word provides byte synchronization of the incoming packet. A one-byte synch word can be emulated by setting the SYNC1 value to the preamble pattern. It is also possible to emulate a 32-bit sync word by using MDMCFG2.SYNC_MODE set to 3 or 7. The sync word is then repeated twice. CC11x1-Q1 supports both constant packet length protocols and variable length protocols. Variable or fixed packet length mode can be used for packets up to 255 bytes. For longer packets, infinite packet length mode must be used. Fixed packet length mode is selected by setting PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG = 0. The desired packet length is set by the PKTLEN register. In variable packet length mode, PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG = 1, the packet length is configured by the first byte after the sync word. The packet length is defined as the payload data, excluding the length byte and the optional CRC. The PKTLEN register is used to set the maximum packet length allowed in RX. Any packet received with a length byte with a value greater than PKTLEN is discarded. With PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG = 2, the packet length is set to infinite, and transmission and reception continues until turned off manually. As described in the next section, this can be used to support packet formats with different length configuration than natively supported by CC11x1-Q1. One should make sure that TX mode is not turned off during the transmission of the first half of any byte. Refer to the errata notes for more details. NOTE The minimum packet length supported (excluding the optional length byte and CRC) is one byte of payload data. 3.11.2.1 Arbitrary Length Field Configuration The packet length register, PKTLEN, can be reprogrammed during receive and transmit. In combination with fixed packet length mode (PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG = 0) this opens the possibility to have a different length field configuration than supported for variable length packets (in variable packet length mode the length byte is the first byte after the sync word). At the start of reception, the packet length is set to a large value. The MCU reads out enough bytes to interpret the length field in the packet. Then the PKTLEN value is set according to this value. The end of packet occurs when the byte counter in the packet handler is equal to the PKTLEN register. Thus, the MCU must be able to program the correct length, before the internal counter reaches the packet length.

This opens the possibility to transmit and receive packets that are longer than 256 bytes and still be able to use the packet handling hardware support. At the start of the packet, the infinite packet length mode (PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG = 2) must be active. On the TX side, the PKTLEN register is set to mod(length, 256). On the RX side the MCU reads out enough bytes to interpret the length field in the packet and sets the PKTLEN register to mod(length, 256). When less than 256 bytes remain of the packet, the MCU disables infinite packet length mode and activates fixed packet length mode. When the internal byte counter reaches the PKTLEN value, the transmission or reception ends (the radio enters the state determined by TXOFF_MODE or RXOFF_MODE). Automatic CRC appending/checking can also be used (by setting PKTCTRL0.CRC_EN = 1). When for example a 600-byte packet is to be transmitted, the MCU should do the following (see also Figure 3-11). 1. Set PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG = 2. 2. Preprogram the PKTLEN register to mod(600, 256) = 88. 3. Transmit at least 345 bytes (600 – 255), for example by filling the 64-byte TX FIFO six times (384 bytes transmitted). 4. Set PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG = 0. 5. The transmission ends when the packet counter reaches 88. A total of 600 bytes are transmitted. Figure 3-11. Packet Length Greater Than 255 3.11.3 Packet Filtering in Receive Mode CC11x1-Q1 supports three different types of packet filtering: address filtering, maximum length filtering, and CRC filtering. 3.11.3.1 Address Filtering Setting PKTCTRL1.ADR_CHK to any other value than zero enables the packet address filter. The packet handler engine compares the destination address byte in the packet with the programmed node address in the ADDR register and the 0x00 broadcast address when PKTCTRL1.ADR_CHK = 10 or both 0x00 and 0xFF broadcast addresses when PKTCTRL1.ADR_CHK = 11. If the received address matches a valid address, the packet is received and written into the RX FIFO. If the address match fails, the packet is discarded and receive mode restarted (regardless of the MCSM1.RXOFF_MODE setting). If the received address matches a valid address when using infinite packet length mode and address filtering is enabled, 0xFF is written into the RX FIFO followed by the address byte and then the payload data. 34 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 3.11.3.2 Maximum Length Filtering In variable packet length mode, PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG = 1, the PKTLEN.PACKET_LENGTH register value is used to set the maximum allowed packet length. If the received length byte has a larger value than this, the packet is discarded and receive mode restarted (regardless of the MCSM1.RXOFF_MODE setting). 3.11.3.3 CRC Filtering The filtering of a packet when CRC check fails is enabled by setting PKTCTRL1.CRC_AUTOFLUSH = 1. The CRC auto flush function flushes the entire RX FIFO if the CRC check fails. After auto flushing the RX FIFO, the next state depends on the MCSM1.RXOFF_MODE setting. When using the auto flush function, the maximum packet length is 63 bytes in variable packet length mode and 64 bytes in fixed packet length mode. Note that the maximum allowed packet length is reduced by two bytes when PKTCTRL1.APPEND_STATUS is enabled, to make room in the RX FIFO for the two status bytes appended at the end of the packet. Because the entire RX FIFO is flushed when the CRC check fails, the previously received packet must be read out of the FIFO before receiving the current packet. The MCU must not read from the current packet until the CRC has been checked as OK. 3.11.4 Packet Handling in Transmit Mode The payload that is to be transmitted must be written into the TX FIFO. The first byte written must be the length byte when variable packet length is enabled. The length byte has a value equal to the payload of the packet (including the optional address byte). If address recognition is enabled on the receiver, the second byte written to the TX FIFO must be the address byte. If fixed packet length is enabled, then the first byte written to the TX FIFO should be the address (if the receiver uses address recognition). The modulator first sends the programmed number of preamble bytes. If data is available in the TX FIFO, the modulator sends the two-byte (optionally four-byte) sync word and then the payload in the TX FIFO. If CRC is enabled, the checksum is calculated over all the data pulled from the TX FIFO and the result is sent as two extra bytes following the payload data. If the TX FIFO runs empty before the complete packet has been transmitted, the radio enters TXFIFO_UNDERFLOW state. The only way to exit this state is by issuing an SFTX strobe. Writing to the TX FIFO after it has underflowed does not restart TX mode. If whitening is enabled, everything following the sync words is whitened. This is done before the optional FEC/Interleaver stage. Whitening is enabled by setting PKTCTRL0.WHITE_DATA = 1. If FEC/Interleaving is enabled, everything following the sync words is scrambled by the interleaver and FEC encoded before being modulated. FEC is enabled by setting MDMCFG1.FEC_EN = 1. 3.11.5 Packet Handling in Receive Mode In receive mode, the demodulator and packet handler searches for a valid preamble and the sync word. When found, the demodulator has obtained both bit and byte synchronism and receives the first payload byte. If FEC/Interleaving is enabled, the FEC decoder starts to decode the first payload byte. The interleaver descrambles the bits before any other processing is done to the data. If whitening is enabled, the data is dewhitened at this stage. When variable packet length mode is enabled, the first byte is the length byte. The packet handler stores this value as the packet length and receives the number of bytes indicated by the length byte. If fixed packet length mode is used, the packet handler accepts the programmed number of bytes. Next, the packet handler optionally checks the address and only continues the reception if the address matches. If automatic CRC check is enabled, the packet handler computes CRC and matches it with the appended CRC checksum.

Additionally, for packets longer than 64 bytes the RX FIFO needs to be read while in RX and the TX FIFO needs to be refilled while in TX. This means that the MCU needs to know the number of bytes that can be read from or written to the RX FIFO and TX FIFO respectively. There are two possible solutions to get the necessary status information: Interrupt Driven Solution In both RX and TX one can use one of the GDO pins to give an interrupt when a sync word has been received/transmitted and/or when a complete packet has been received/transmitted (IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG = 0x06). In addition, there are two configurations for the IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG register that are associated with the RX FIFO (IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG = 0x00 and IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG = 0x01) and two that are associated with the TX FIFO (IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG = 0x02 and IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG = 0x03) that can be used as interrupt sources to provide information on how many bytes are in the RX FIFO and TX FIFO respectively (see Table 3-17). SPI Polling The PKTSTATUS register can be polled at a given rate to get information about the current GDO2 and GDO0 values respectively. The RXBYTES and TXBYTES registers can be polled at a given rate to get information about the number of bytes in the RX FIFO and TX FIFO respectively. Alternatively, the number of bytes in the RX FIFO and TX FIFO can be read from the chip status byte returned on the MISO line each time a header byte, data byte, or command strobe is sent on the SPI bus. An interrupt-driven solution should be used, as high-rate SPI polling reduces the RX sensitivity. Furthermore, as explained in Section 3.6.3 and the errata notes, when using SPI polling, there is a small, but finite, probability that a single read from registers PKTSTATUS , RXBYTES, and TXBYTES is corrupt. The same is the case when reading the chip status byte. See the TI web site for software examples. 3.12 Modulation Formats CC11x1-Q1 supports amplitude, frequency, and phase shift modulation formats. The desired modulation format is set in the MDMCFG2.MOD_FORMAT register. Optionally, the data stream can be Manchester coded by the modulator and decoded by the demodulator. This option is enabled by setting MDMCFG2.MANCHESTER_EN = 1. Manchester encoding is not supported at the same time as using the FEC/Interleaver option. 3.12.1 Frequency Shift Keying CC11x1-Q1 can use Gaussian shaped 2-FSK (GFSK). The 2-FSK signal is then shaped by a Gaussian filter with BT = 1, producing a GFSK modulated signal. This spectrum-shaping feature improves adjacent channel power (ACP) and occupied bandwidth. In 'true' 2-FSK systems with abrupt frequency shifting, the spectrum is inherently broad. By making the frequency shift 'softer', the spectrum can be made significantly narrower. Thus, higher data rates can be transmitted in the same bandwidth using GFSK. When FSK/GFSK modulation is used, the DEVIATN register specifies the expected frequency deviation of incoming signals in RX and should be the same as the TX deviation for demodulation to be performed reliably and robustly. The frequency deviation is programmed with the DEVIATION_M and DEVIATION_E values in the DEVIATN register. The value has an exponent/mantissa form, and the resultant deviation is given by: f fdev = xosc ´(8 +DEVIATION_ M) ´2DEVIATION_ E 217 (4) Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback 37 CC11x1-Q1 SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 www.ti.com The symbol encoding is shown in Table 3-9. Table 3-9. Symbol Encoding for 2-FSK/GFSK Modulation FORMAT 2-FSK/GFSK SYMBOL CODING 0 – Deviation 1 + Deviation 3.12.2 Minimum Shift Keying When using MSK [identical to offset QPSK with half-sine shaping (data coding may differ)], the complete transmission (preamble, sync word, and payload) is MSK modulated. Phase shifts are performed with a constant transition time. The fraction of a symbol period used to change the phase can be modified with the DEVIATN.DEVIATION_M setting. This is equivalent to changing the shaping of the symbol. The MSK modulation format implemented in CC11x1-Q1 inverts the sync word and data compared to, e.g., signal generators. 3.12.3 Amplitude Modulation CC11x1-Q1 supports two different forms of amplitude modulation: On-Off Keying (OOK) and Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK). OOK modulation simply turns on or off the PA to modulate 1 and 0 respectively. The ASK variant supported by the CC11x1-Q1 allows programming of the modulation depth (the difference between 1 and 0), and shaping of the pulse amplitude. Pulse shaping produces a more bandwidth constrained output spectrum. 3.13 Received Signal Qualifiers and Link Quality Information CC11x1-Q1 has several qualifiers that can be used to increase the likelihood that a valid sync word is detected. 3.13.1 Sync Word Qualifier If sync word detection in RX is enabled in register MDMCFG2, the CC11x1-Q1 does not start filling the RX FIFO and performing the packet filtering described in Section 3.11.3.3 before a valid sync word has been detected. The sync word qualifier mode is set by MDMCFG2.SYNC_MODE and is summarized in Table 3-10. Carrier sense is described in Section 3.13.4. Table 3-10. Sync Word Qualifier Mode MDMCFG2.SYNC_MODE 38 SYNC WORD QUALIFIER MODE 000 No preamble/sync 001 15/16 sync word bits detected 010 16/16 sync word bits detected 011 30/32 sync word bits detected 100 No preamble/sync, carrier sense above threshold 101 15/16 + carrier sense above threshold 110 16/16 + carrier sense above threshold 111 30/32 + carrier sense above threshold Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 3.13.2 Preamble Quality Threshold (PQT) The preamble quality threshold (PQT) sync-word qualifier adds the requirement that the received sync word must be preceded with a preamble with a quality above the programmed threshold. Another use of the preamble quality threshold is as a qualifier for the optional RX termination timer. See Section 3.15.7 for details. The preamble quality estimator increases an internal counter by one each time a bit is received that is different from the previous bit, and decreases the counter by 8 each time a bit is received that is the same as the last bit. The threshold is configured with the register field PKTCTRL1.PQT. A threshold of 4 × PQT for this counter is used to gate sync word detection. By setting the value to zero, the preamble quality qualifier of the synch word is disabled. A preamble quality reached signal can be observed on one of the GDO pins by setting IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG = 8. It is also possible to determine if preamble quality is reached by checking the PQT_REACHED bit in the PKTSTATUS register. This signal/bit asserts when the received signal exceeds the PQT. 3.13.3 RSSI The RSSI value is an estimate of the signal power level in the chosen channel. This value is based on the current gain setting in the RX chain and the measured signal level in the channel. In RX mode, the RSSI value can be read continuously from the RSSI status register until the demodulator detects a sync word (when sync word detection is enabled). At that point the RSSI readout value is frozen until the next time the chip enters the RX state. The RSSI value is in dBm with ½-dB resolution. The RSSI update rate, fRSSI, depends on the receiver filter bandwidth (BWchannel defined in Section 3.9) and AGCCTRL0.FILTER_LENGTH. fRSSI = 2´ BWchannel 8´2FILTER_LEN GTH (5) If PKTCTRL1.APPEND_STATUS is enabled the last RSSI value of the packet is automatically added to the first byte appended after the payload. The RSSI value read from the RSSI status register is a twos-complement number. The following procedure can be used to convert the RSSI reading to an absolute power level (RSSI_dBm). 1. Read the RSSI status register 2. Convert the reading from a hexadecimal number to a decimal number (RSSI_dec) 3. If RSSI_dec ≥ 128 then RSSI_dBm = (RSSI_dec – 256)/2 – RSSI_offset 4. Else if RSSI_dec < 128 then RSSI_dBm = (RSSI_dec)/2 – RSSI_offset Table 3-11 gives typical values for the RSSI_offset. Figure 3-12 and Figure 3-13 shows typical plots of RSSI reading as a function of input power level for different data rates. Table 3-11.

Typical RSSI Value vs Input Power Level for Different Data Rates at 868 MHz 3.13.4 Carrier Sense (CS) Carrier sense (CS) is used as a sync word qualifier and for CCA and can be asserted based on two conditions, which can be individually adjusted: • CS is asserted when the RSSI is above a programmable absolute threshold and deasserted when RSSI is below the same threshold (with hysteresis). • CS is asserted when the RSSI has increased with a programmable number of dB from one RSSI sample to the next and deasserted when RSSI has decreased with the same number of dB. This setting is not dependent on the absolute signal level and is thus useful to detect signals in environments with time varying noise floor. Carrier sense can be used as a sync word qualifier that requires the signal level to be higher than the threshold for a sync word search to be performed. The signal can also be observed on one of the GDO pins by setting IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG = 14 and in the status register bit PKTSTATUS.CS. 40 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 Other uses of carrier sense include the TX-if-CCA function (see Section 3.13.5) and the optional fast RX termination (see Section 3.15.7). CS can be used to avoid interference from other RF sources in the ISM bands. 3.13.4.1 CS Absolute Threshold The absolute threshold related to the RSSI value depends on the following register fields: • AGCCTRL2.MAX_LNA_GAIN • AGCCTRL2.MAX_DVGA_GAIN • AGCCTRL1.CARRIER_SENSE_ABS_THR • AGCCTRL2.MAGN_TARGET For a given AGCCTRL2.MAX_LNA_GAIN and AGCCTRL2.MAX_DVGA_GAIN setting the absolute threshold can be adjusted ±7 dB in steps of 1 dB using CARRIER_SENSE_ABS_THR. The MAGN_TARGET setting is a compromise between blocker tolerance/selectivity and sensitivity. The value sets the desired signal level in the channel into the demodulator. Increasing this value reduces the headroom for blockers, and therefore close-in selectivity. It is strongly recommended to use SmartRF Studio to generate the correct MAGN_TARGET setting. Table 3-12 and Table 3-13 show the typical RSSI readout values at the CS threshold at 2.4 kBaud and 250 kBaud data rate respectively. The default CARRIER_SENSE_ABS_THR = 0 (0 dB) and MAGN_TARGET = 3 (33 dB) have been used. For other data rates the user must generate similar tables to find the CS absolute threshold. Table 3-12.

This reduces power consumption in the receiver front end, because the highest gain settings are avoided. 3.13.4.2 CS Relative Threshold The relative threshold detects sudden changes in the measured signal level. This setting is not dependent on the absolute signal level and is thus useful to detect signals in environments with a time varying noise floor. The register field AGCCTRL1.CARRIER_SENSE_REL_THR is used to enable/disable relative CS, and to select threshold of 6 dB, 10 dB, or 14 dB RSSI change. 3.13.5 Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) The Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) is used to indicate if the current channel is free or busy. The current CCA state is viewable on any of the GDO pins by setting IOCFGx.GDOx_ CFG = 0x09. MCSM1.CCA_MODE selects the mode to use when determining CCA. When the STX or SFSTXON command strobe is given while CC11x1-Q1 is in the RX state, the TX or FSTXON state is only entered if the clear channel requirements are fulfilled. The chip otherwise remains in RX (if the channel becomes available, the radio does not enter TX or FSTXON state before a new strobe command is sent on the SPI interface). This feature is called TX-if-CCA. Four CCA requirements can be programmed: • Always (CCA disabled, always goes to TX) • If RSSI is below threshold • Unless currently receiving a packet • Both the above (RSSI below threshold and not currently receiving a packet) 3.13.6 Link Quality Indicator (LQI) The Link Quality Indicator (LQI) is a metric of the current quality of the received signal. If PKTCTRL1.APPEND_STATUS is enabled, the value is automatically added to the last byte appended after the payload. The value can also be read from the LQI status register. The LQI gives an estimate of how easily a received signal can be demodulated by accumulating the magnitude of the error between ideal constellations and the received signal over the 64 symbols immediately following the sync word. LQI is best used as a relative measurement of the link quality (a high value indicates a better link than a low value does), because the value is dependent on the modulation format. 42 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 3.14 Forward Error Correction With Interleaving 3.14.1 Forward Error Correction (FEC) CC11x1-Q1 has built in support for Forward Error Correction (FEC). To enable this option, set MDMCFG1.FEC_EN to 1. FEC is supported only in fixed packet length mode (PKTCTRL0.LENGTH_CONFIG = 0). FEC is employed on the data field and CRC word to reduce the gross bit error rate when operating near the sensitivity limit. Redundancy is added to the transmitted data in such a way that the receiver can restore the original data in the presence of some bit errors. The use of FEC allows correct reception at a lower SNR, thus extending communication range if the receiver bandwidth remains constant. Alternatively, for a given SNR, using FEC decreases the bit error rate (BER). As the packet error rate (PER) is related to BER by: PER = 1 – (1 – BER)packet_length (6) A lower BER can be used to allow longer packets, or a higher percentage of packets of a given length, to be transmitted successfully. Finally, in realistic ISM radio environments, transient and time-varying phenomena produce occasional errors even in otherwise good reception conditions. FEC masks such errors and, combined with interleaving of the coded data, even correct relatively long periods of faulty reception (burst errors). The FEC scheme adopted for CC11x1-Q1 is convolutional coding, in which n bits are generated based on k input bits and the m most recent input bits, forming a code stream able to withstand a certain number of bit errors between each coding state (the m-bit window). The convolutional coder is a rate 1/2 code with a constraint length of m = 4. The coder codes one input bit and produces two output bits; hence, the effective data rate is halved. I.e., to transmit at the same effective data rate when using FEC, it is necessary to use twice as high over-the-air data rate. This requires a higher receiver bandwidth, and thus reduce sensitivity. In other words the improved reception by using FEC and the degraded sensitivity from a higher receiver bandwidth are counteracting factors. 3.14.2 Interleaving Data received through radio channels often experiences burst errors due to interference and time-varying signal strengths. To increase the robustness to errors spanning multiple bits, interleaving is used when FEC is enabled. After deinterleaving, a continuous span of errors in the received stream become single errors spread apart. CC11x1-Q1 employs matrix interleaving, which is illustrated in Figure 3-14. The on-chip interleaving and deinterleaving buffers are 4×4 matrices. In the transmitter, the data bits from the rate one-half convolutional coder are written into the rows of the matrix, whereas the bit sequence to be transmitted is read from the columns of the matrix. Conversely, in the receiver, the received symbols are written into the columns of the matrix, whereas the data passed onto the convolutional decoder is read from the rows of the matrix. When FEC and interleaving is used at least one extra byte is required for trellis termination. In addition, the amount of data transmitted over the air must be a multiple of the size of the interleaver buffer (two bytes). The packet control hardware therefore automatically inserts one or two extra bytes at the end of the packet, so that the total length of the data to be interleaved is an even number. Note that these extra bytes are invisible to the user, as they are removed before the received packet enters the RX FIFO. When FEC and interleaving are used the minimum data payload is 2 bytes.

Complete Radio-Control State Diagram 3.15.1 Power-On Start-Up Sequence When the power supply is turned on, the system must be reset. This is achieved by one of the two sequences described below, i.e. automatic power-on reset (POR) or manual reset. After the automatic power-on reset or manual reset it is also recommended to change the signal that is output on the GDO0 pin. The default setting is to output a clock signal with a frequency of CLK_XOSC/192, but to optimize performance in TX and RX an alternative GDO setting should be selected from the settings found in Table 3-17. 3.15.1.1 Automatic POR A power-on reset circuit is included in the CC11x1-Q1. The minimum requirements stated in Section 2.14 must be followed for the power-on reset to function properly. The internal power-up sequence is completed when CHIP_RDYn goes low. CHIP_RDYn is observed on the SO pin after CS is pulled low. See Section 3.6.1 for more details on CHIP_RDYn.

If the chip has had sufficient time for the crystal oscillator to stabilize after the power-on-reset the SO pin goes low immediately after taking CS low. If CS is taken low before reset is completed the SO pin first goes high, indicating that the crystal oscillator is not stabilized, before going low as shown in Figure 3-16. Figure 3-16. Power-On Reset 3.15.1.2 Manual Reset The other global reset possibility on CC11x1-Q1 uses the SRES command strobe. By issuing this strobe, all internal registers and states are set to the default, IDLE state. The manual power-up sequence is as follows (see Figure 3-17): • Set SCLK = 1 and SI = 0, to avoid potential problems with pin control mode (see Section 3.7.3). • Strobe CS low then high. • Hold CS high for at least 40 µs relative to pulling CS low • Pull CS low and wait for SO to go low (CHIP_RDYn). • Issue the SRES strobe on the SI line. • When SO goes low again, reset is complete and the chip is in the IDLE state.

If the user wants to reset the CC11x1-Q1 after this, it is only necessary to issue an SRES command strobe. 3.15.2 Crystal Control The crystal oscillator (XOSC) MCSM0.XOSC_FORCE_ON is set. is either automatically controlled or always on, if In the automatic mode, the XOSC is turned off if the SXOFF or SPWD command strobes are issued. The state machine then goes to XOFF or SLEEP, respectively. This can be done only from the IDLE state. The XOSC is turned off when CS is released (goes high). The XOSC is automatically turned on again when CS goes low. The state machine then goes to the IDLE state. The SO pin on the SPI interface must be pulled low before the SPI interface is ready to be used, as described in Section 2.9. 46 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 If the XOSC is forced on, the crystal stays on, even in the SLEEP state. Crystal oscillator start-up time depends on crystal ESR and load capacitances. The electrical specification for the crystal oscillator can be found in Section 2.9. 3.15.3 Voltage Regulator Control The voltage regulator to the digital core is controlled by the radio controller. When the chip enters the SLEEP state, which is the state with the lowest current consumption, the voltage regulator is disabled. This occurs after CS is released when a SPWD command strobe has been sent on the SPI interface. The chip is now in the SLEEP state. Setting CS low again turns on the regulator and crystal oscillator and make the chip enter the IDLE state. When wake on radio is enabled, the WOR module controls the voltage regulator as described in Section 3.15.5. 3.15.4 Active Modes CC11x1-Q1 has two active modes: receive and transmit. These modes are activated directly by the MCU by using the SRX and STX command strobes, or automatically by Wake on Radio. The frequency synthesizer must be calibrated regularly. CC11x1-Q1 has one manual calibration option (using the SCAL strobe), and three automatic calibration options, controlled by the MCSM0.FS_AUTOCAL setting: • Calibrate when going from IDLE to either RX or TX (or FSTXON) • Calibrate when going from either RX or TX to IDLE automatically • Calibrate every fourth time when going from either RX or TX to IDLE automatically If the radio goes from TX or RX to IDLE by issuing an SIDLE strobe, calibration is not performed. The calibration takes a constant number of XOSC cycles (see Table 3-14 for timing details). When RX is activated, the chip remains in receive mode until a packet is successfully received or the RX termination timer expires (see Section 3.15.7). NOTE The probability that a false sync word is detected can be reduced by using PQT, CS, maximum sync word length, and sync word qualifier mode as described in Section 3.13. After a packet is successfully received, the radio controller goes to the state indicated by the MCSM1.RXOFF_MODE setting. The possible destinations are: • IDLE • FSTXON: Frequency synthesizer on and ready at the TX frequency. Activate TX with STX . • TX: Start sending preamble • RX: Start search for a new packet Similarly, when TX is active the chip remains in the TX state until the current packet has been successfully transmitted. Then the state changes as indicated by the MCSM1.TXOFF_MODE setting. The possible destinations are the same as for RX. The MCU can manually change the state from RX to TX and vice versa by using the command strobes. If the radio controller is currently in transmit and the SRX strobe is used, the current transmission is ended and the transition to RX is done. If the radio controller is in RX when the STX or SFSTXON command strobes are used, the TX-if-CCA function is used. If the channel is not clear, the chip remains in RX. The MCSM1.CCA_MODE setting controls the conditions for clear channel assessment (see Section 3.13.5 for details). The SIDLE command strobe can always be used to force the radio controller to go to the IDLE state.

When the WOR strobe command is sent on the SPI interface, the CC11x1-Q1 goes to the SLEEP state when CS is released. The RC oscillator must be enabled before the WOR strobe can be used, as it is the clock source for the WOR timer. The on-chip timer sets CC11x1-Q1 into IDLE state and then RX state. After a programmable time in RX, the chip goes back to the SLEEP state, unless a packet is received. See Figure 3-18 and Section 3.15.7 for details on how the timeout works. Set the CC11x1-Q1 into the IDLE state to exit WOR mode. CC11x1-Q1 can be set up to signal the MCU that a packet has been received by using the GDO pins. If a packet is received, the MCSM1.RXOFF_MODE determines the behavior at the end of the received packet. When the MCU has read the packet, it can put the chip back into SLEEP with the SWOR strobe from the IDLE state. The FIFO loses its contents in the SLEEP state. The WOR timer has two events, Event 0 and Event 1. In the SLEEP state with WOR activated, reaching Event 0 turns on the digital regulator and starts the crystal oscillator. Event 1 follows Event 0 after a programmed timeout. The time between two consecutive Event 0 is programmed with a mantissa value given by WOREVT1.EVENT0 and WOREVT0.EVENT0, and an exponent value set by WORCTRL.WOR_RES. The equation is: tEvent0 = 750 ´EVENT0 ´25´WOR_RES f XOSC (7) The Event 1 timeout is programmed with WORCTRL.EVENT1. Figure 3-18 shows the timing relationship between Event 0 timeout and Event 1 timeout. Rx timeout State : SLEEP IDLE Event 0 RX SLEEP Event 1 IDLE Event 0 RX Event1 t tEvent0 tEvent0 tEvent1 tEvent1 tSLEEP Figure 3-18. Event 0 and Event 1 Relationship The time from the CC11x1-Q1 enters SLEEP state until the next Event0 is programmed to appear (tSLEEP in Figure 3-18) should be larger than 11.08 ms when using a 26-MHz crystal and 10.67 ms when a 27-MHz crystal is used. If tSLEEP is less than 11.08 (10.67) ms, there is a chance that the consecutive Event 0 will occur (750 / fXOSC ) × 128 seconds too early. CC1100/CC2500 – Wake-On-Radio (SWRA126) explains in detail the theory of operation and the different registers involved when using WOR, as well as highlighting important aspects when using WOR mode. 48 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 3.15.5.1 RC Oscillator and Timing The frequency of the low-power RC oscillator used for the WOR functionality varies with temperature and supply voltage. To keep the frequency as accurate as possible, the RC oscillator is calibrated whenever possible, which is when the XOSC is running and the chip is not in the SLEEP state. When the power and XOSC is enabled, the clock used by the WOR timer is a divided XOSC clock. When the chip goes to the sleep state, the RC oscillator uses the last valid calibration result. The frequency of the RC oscillator is locked to the main crystal frequency divided by 750. In applications where the radio wakes up very often, typically several times every second, it is possible to do the RC oscillator calibration once and then turn off calibration (WORCTRL.RC_CAL = 0) to reduce the current consumption. This requires that RC oscillator calibration values are read from registers RCCTRL0_STATUS and RCCTRL1_STATUS and written back to RCCTRL0 and RCCTRL1 respectively. If the RC oscillator calibration is turned off, it must be manually turned on again if temperature and supply voltage changes. See CC1100/CC2500 – Wake-On-Radio (SWRA126) for further details. 3.15.6 Timing The radio controller controls most of the timing in CC11x1-Q1, such as synthesizer calibration, PLL lock time, and RX/TX turnaround times. Timing from IDLE to RX and IDLE to TX is constant, dependent on the auto calibration setting. RX/TX and TX/RX turnaround times are constant. The calibration time is constant 18739 clock periods. Table 3-14 shows timing in crystal clock cycles for key state transitions. Power on time and XOSC start-up times are variable, but within the limits stated in Section 2.9. Note that in a frequency hopping spread spectrum or a multi-channel protocol the calibration time can be reduced from 721 µs to approximately 150 µs (see Section 3.27.2). Table 3-14.

The main use for this functionality is wake-on-radio (WOR), but it may be useful for other applications. The termination timer starts when in RX state. The timeout is programmable with the MCSM2.RX_TIME setting. When the timer expires, the radio controller checks the condition for staying in RX. If the condition is not met, RX terminates. The programmable conditions are: • MCSM2.RX_TIME_QUAL = 0 Continue receive if sync word has been found • MCSM2.RX_TIME_QUAL = 1 Continue receive if sync word has been found or preamble quality is above threshold (PQT) Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback 49 CC11x1-Q1 SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 www.ti.com If the system can expect the transmission to have started when enabling the receiver, the MCSM2.RX_TIME_RSSI function can be used. The radio controller then terminates RX if the first valid carrier sense sample indicates no carrier (RSSI below threshold) (see Section 3.13.4 for details on Carrier Sense). For ASK/OOK modulation, lack of carrier sense is only considered valid after eight symbol periods. Thus, the MCSM2.RX_TIME_RSSI function can be used in ASK/OOK mode when the distance between "1" symbols is 8 or less. If RX terminates due to no carrier sense when the MCSM2.RX_TIME_RSSI function is used, or if no sync word was found when using the MCSM2.RX_TIME timeout function, the chip goes back to IDLE if WOR is disabled and back to SLEEP if WOR is enabled. Otherwise, the MCSM1.RXOFF_MODE setting determines the state to go to when RX ends. This means that the chip does not automatically go back to SLEEP once a sync word has been received. It is therefore recommended to always wake up the microcontroller on sync word detection when using WOR mode. This can be done by selecting output signal 6 (see Table 3-17) on one of the programmable GDO output pins, and programming the microcontroller to wake up on an edge-triggered interrupt from this GDO pin. 3.16 Data FIFO The CC11x1-Q1 contains two 64 byte FIFOs, one for received data and one for data to be transmitted. The SPI interface is used to read from the RX FIFO and write to the TX FIFO. Section 3.6 contains details on the SPI FIFO access. The FIFO controller detects overflow in the RX FIFO and underflow in the TX FIFO. When writing to the TX FIFO, it is the responsibility of the MCU to avoid TX FIFO overflow. A TX FIFO overflow results in an error in the TX FIFO content. Likewise, when reading the RX FIFO, the MCU must avoid reading the RX FIFO past its empty value, because an RX FIFO underflow results in an error in the data read out of the RX FIFO. The chip status byte that is available on the SO pin while transferring the SPI header contains the fill grade of the RX FIFO if the access is a read operation and the fill grade of the TX FIFO if the access is a write operation. Section 3.6.1 contains more details on this. The number of bytes in the RX FIFO and TX FIFO can be read from the status registers RXBYTES.NUM_RXBYTES and TXBYTES.NUM_TXBYTES respectively. If a received data byte is written to the RX FIFO at the exact same time as the last byte in the RX FIFO is read over the SPI interface, the RX FIFO pointer is not properly updated and the last read byte is duplicated. To avoid this problem one should never empty the RX FIFO before the last byte of the packet is received. For packet lengths less than 64 bytes it is recommended to wait until the complete packet has been received before reading it out of the RX FIFO. If the packet length is larger than 64 bytes the MCU must determine how many bytes can be read from the RX FIFO (RXBYTES.NUM_RXBYTES-1) and the following software routine can be used: 1. Read RXBYTES.NUM_RXBYTES repeatedly at a rate ensured to be at least twice that at which RF bytes are received until the same value is returned twice. Store value in n. 2. If n < # of bytes remaining in packet, read n – 1 bytes from the RX FIFO. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until n = # of bytes remaining in packet. 4. Read the remaining bytes from the RX FIFO. The 4-bit FIFOTHR.FIFO_THR setting is used to program threshold points in the FIFOs. Table 3-15 lists the 16 FIFO_THR settings and the corresponding thresholds for the RX and TX FIFOs. The threshold value is coded in opposite directions for the RX FIFO and TX FIFO. This gives equal margin to the overflow and underflow conditions when the threshold is reached.

Example of FIFOs at Threshold 3.17 Frequency Programming The frequency programming in CC11x1-Q1 is designed to minimize the programming needed in a channel-oriented system. To set up a system with channel numbers, the desired channel spacing is programmed with the MDMCFG0.CHANSPC_M and MDMCFG1.CHANSPC_E registers. The channel spacing registers are mantissa and exponent respectively. The base or start frequency is set by the 24-bit frequency word located in the FREQ2, FREQ1, and FREQ0 registers. This word is typically set to the center of the lowest channel frequency that is to be used. The desired channel number is programmed with the 8-bit channel number register, CHANNR.CHAN, which is multiplied by the channel offset. The resultant carrier frequency is given by: × × × (8) With a 26-MHz crystal the maximum channel spacing is 405 kHz. To get, for example, 1-MHz channel spacing one solution is to use 333-kHz channel spacing and select each third channel in CHANNR.CHAN. The preferred IF frequency is programmed with the FSCTRL1.FREQ_IF register. The IF frequency is given by: f fIF = XOSC ´FREQ_IF 210 (9) NOTE The SmartRF Studio software automatically calculates the optimum FSCTRL1.FREQ_IF register setting based on channel spacing and channel filter bandwidth. If any frequency programming register is altered when the frequency synthesizer is running, the synthesizer may give an undesired response. Hence, the frequency programming should only be updated when the radio is in the IDLE state. 3.18 VCO The VCO is completely integrated on-chip. 52 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 3.18.1 VCO and PLL Self-Calibration The VCO characteristics vary with temperature and supply voltage changes, as well as the desired operating frequency. To ensure reliable operation, CC11x1-Q1 includes frequency synthesizer self-calibration circuitry. This calibration should be done regularly, and must be performed after turning on power and before using a new frequency (or channel). The number of XOSC cycles for completing the PLL calibration is given in Table 3-14. The calibration can be initiated automatically or manually. The synthesizer can be automatically calibrated each time the synthesizer is turned on, or each time the synthesizer is turned off automatically. This is configured with the MCSM0.FS_AUTOCAL register setting. In manual mode, the calibration is initiated when the SCAL command strobe is activated in the IDLE mode. NOTE The calibration values are maintained in SLEEP mode, so the calibration is still valid after waking up from SLEEP mode (unless supply voltage or temperature has changed significantly). To check that the PLL is in lock, the user can program register IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG to 0x0A and use the lock detector output available on the GDOx pin as an interrupt for the MCU (x = 0,1, or 2). A positive transition on the GDOx pin means that the PLL is in lock. As an alternative the user can read register FSCAL1. The PLL is in lock if the register content is different from 0x3F (see also the errata notes). For more robust operation the source code could include a check so that the PLL is re-calibrated until PLL lock is achieved if the PLL does not lock the first time. 3.19 Voltage Regulators CC11x1-Q1 contains several on-chip linear voltage regulators, which generate the supply voltage needed by low-voltage modules. These voltage regulators are invisible to the user, and can be viewed as integral parts of the various modules. The user must however make sure that the absolute maximum ratings and required pin voltages in Table 3-1 and Section 2.1 are not exceeded. The voltage regulator for the digital core requires one external decoupling capacitor. Setting the CS pin low turns on the voltage regulator to the digital core and starts the crystal oscillator. The SO pin on the SPI interface must go low before the first positive edge of SCLK (setup time is given in Section 2.15). If the chip is programmed to enter power-down mode, (SPWD strobe issued), the power is turned off after CS goes high. The power and crystal oscillator are turned on again when CS goes low. The voltage regulator output should be used only for driving the CC11x1-Q1. 3.20 Output Power Programming The RF output power level from the device has two levels of programmability, as illustrated in Figure 3-21. Firstly, the special PATABLE register can hold up to eight user selected output power settings. Secondly, the 3-bit FREND0.PA_POWER value selects the PATABLE entry to use. This two-level functionality provides flexible PA power ramp up and ramp down at the start and end of transmission, as well as ASK modulation shaping. All the PA power settings in the PATABLE from index 0 up to the FREND0.PA_POWER value are used. The power ramping at the start and at the end of a packet can be turned off by setting FREND0.PA_POWER to zero and then program the desired output power to index 0 in the PATABLE. If OOK modulation is used, the logic 0 and logic 1 power levels shall be programmed to index 0 and 1 respectively.

Using PA settings from 0x61 to 0x6F is not recommended. See Section 3.6.6 for PATABLE programming details. See Design Note DN013 Programming Output Power on CC1101 (SWRA151) for output power and current consumption for default PATABLE setting (0xC6). PATABLE must be programmed in burst mode to write to entries other than PATABLE[0]. NOTE All content of the PATABLE, except for the first byte (index 0), is lost when entering the SLEEP state. 3.21 Shaping and PA Ramping With ASK modulation, up to eight power settings are used for shaping. The modulator contains a counter that counts up when transmitting a one and down when transmitting a zero. The counter counts at a rate equal to 8 times the symbol rate. The counter saturates at FREND0.PA_POWER and 0 respectively. This counter value is used as an index for a lookup in the power table. Thus, to utilize the whole table, FREND0.PA_POWER should be 7 when ASK is active. The shaping of the ASK signal is dependent on the configuration of the PATABLE. Figure 3-22 shows some examples of ASK shaping. PATABLE(7)[7:0] The PA uses this setting. PATABLE(6)[7:0] PATABLE(5)[7:0] PATABLE(4)[7:0] Settings 0 to PA_POWER are used during ramp-up at start of transmission and ramp-down at end of transmission, and for ASK/OOK modulation. PATABLE(3)[7:0] PATABLE(2)[7:0] PATABLE(1)[7:0] PATABLE(0)[7:0] Index into PATABLE(7:0) The SmartRF® Studio software should be used to obtain optimum PATABLE settings for various output powers. e.g 6 PA_POWER[2:0] in FREND0 register Figure 3-21.

The oscillator is designed for parallel mode operation of the crystal. In addition, loading capacitors (C81 and C101) for the crystal are required. The loading capacitor values depend on the total load capacitance, CL, specified for the crystal. The total load capacitance seen between the crystal terminals should equal CL for the crystal to oscillate at the specified frequency. CL = 1 +Cparasitic 1 1 + C81 C101 (10) The parasitic capacitance is constituted by pin input capacitance and PCB stray capacitance. Total parasitic capacitance is typically 2.5 pF. The crystal oscillator circuit is shown in Figure 3-23. Typical component values for different values of CL are given in Table 3-16. XTAL XOSC_Q1 C81 XOSC_Q2 C101 Figure 3-23. Crystal Oscillator Circuit Table 3-16. Crystal Oscillator Component Values Component CL = 10 pF CL = 13 pF CL = 16 pF C81 15 pF 22 pF 27 pF C101 15 pF 22 pF 27 pF The crystal oscillator is amplitude regulated. This means that a high current is used to start up the oscillations. When the amplitude builds up, the current is reduced to what is necessary to maintain approximately 0.4-Vpp signal swing. This ensures a fast start-up, and keeps the drive level to a minimum. The ESR of the crystal should be within the specification to ensure a reliable start-up (see Section 2.9). The initial tolerance, temperature drift, aging and load pulling should be carefully specified to meet the required frequency accuracy in a certain application. 3.22.1 Reference Signal The chip can alternatively be operated with a reference signal from 26 to 27 MHz instead of a crystal. This input clock can either be a full-swing digital signal (0 V to VDD) or a sine wave of maximum 1 V peak-peak amplitude. The reference signal must be connected to the XOSC_Q1 input. The sine wave must be connected to XOSC_Q1 using a serial capacitor. When using a full-swing digital signal this capacitor can be omitted. The XOSC_Q2 line must be left unconnected. C81 and C101 can be omitted when using a reference signal. 3.23 External RF Match The balanced RF input and output of CC11x1-Q1 share two common pins and are designed for a simple, low-cost matching and balun network on the printed circuit board. The receive- and transmit switching at the CC11x1-Q1 front-end is controlled by a dedicated on-chip function, eliminating the need for an external RX/TX-switch. A few passive external components combined with the internal RX/TX switch/termination circuitry ensures match in both RX and TX mode. Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback 55 CC11x1-Q1 SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 www.ti.com Although CC11x1-Q1 has a balanced RF input/output, the chip can be connected to a single-ended antenna with few external low cost capacitors and inductors. The passive matching/filtering network connected to CC11x1-Q1 should have the following differential impedance as seen from the RF-port (RF_P and RF_N) toward the antenna: Zout 315 MHz = 122 + j31 Ω Zout 433 MHz = 116 + j41 Ω Zout 868/915 MHz = 86.5 + j43 Ω To ensure optimal matching of the CC11x1-Q1 differential output it is recommended to follow the reference design as closely as possible. Gerber files for the reference designs are available for download from the TI web site. 3.24 PCB Layout Recommendations The top layer should be used for signal routing, and the open areas should be filled with metallization connected to ground using several vias. The area under the chip is used for grounding and shall be connected to the bottom ground plane with several vias. In the reference designs, five vias are placed inside the exposed die attached pad. These vias should be tented (covered with solder mask) on the component side of the PCB to avoid migration of solder through the vias during the solder reflow process. The solder paste coverage should not be 100%. If it is, out gassing may occur during the reflow process, which may cause defects (splattering, solder balling). Using "tented" vias reduces the solder paste coverage below 100%. Each decoupling capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the supply pin it is supposed to decouple. Each decoupling capacitor should be connected to the power line (or power plane) by separate vias. The best routing is from the power line (or power plane) to the decoupling capacitor and then to the CC11x1-Q1 supply pin. Supply power filtering is very important. Each decoupling capacitor ground pad should be connected to the ground plane using a separate via. Direct connections between neighboring power pins increase noise coupling and should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. The external components ideally should be as small as possible (0402 is recommended) and surface mount devices are highly recommended. Please note that components smaller than those specified may have differing characteristics. Precaution should be used when placing the microcontroller to avoid noise interfering with the RF circuitry. A development kit with a fully assembled evaluation module is available. It is strongly advised that this reference layout is followed closely to get the best performance. The schematic, BOM, and layout Gerber files are all available from the TI web site. 3.25 General Purpose / Test Output Control Pins The three digital output pins GDO0, GDO1, and GDO2 are general control pins configured with IOCFG0.GDO0_CFG, IOCFG1.GDO1_CFG, and IOCFG2.GDO3_CFG respectively. Table 3-17 shows the different signals that can be monitored on the GDO pins. These signals can be used as inputs to the MCU. GDO1 is the same pin as the SO pin on the SPI interface, thus the output programmed on this pin is valid only when CS is high. The default value for GDO1 is 3-stated, which is useful when the SPI interface is shared with other devices. The default value for GDO0 is a 135-141 kHz clock output (XOSC frequency divided by 192). Because the XOSC is turned on at power-on-reset, this can be used to clock the MCU in systems with only one crystal. When the MCU is up and running, it can change the clock frequency by writing to IOCFG0.GDO0_CFG. 56 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 An on-chip analog temperature sensor is enabled by writing the value 128 (0x80) to the IOCFG0 register. The voltage on the GDO0 pin is then proportional to temperature. See Section 2.12 for temperature sensor specifications. If the IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG setting is less than 0x20 and IOCFGx_GDOx_INV is 0 (1), the GDO0 and GDO2 pins are hardwired to 0 (1) and the GDO1 pin is hardwired to 1 (0) in the SLEEP state. These signals are hardwired until the CHIP_RDYn signal goes low. If the IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG setting is 0x20 or higher, the GDO pins also work as programmed in SLEEP state. As an example, GDO1 is high impedance in all states if IOCFG1.GDO1_CFG = 0x2E.

For new systems, it is recommended to use the built-in packet handling features, as they can give more robust communication, significantly offload the microcontroller, and simplify software development. 3.26.1 Asynchronous Operation For backward compatibility with systems already using the asynchronous data transfer from other Chipcon products, asynchronous transfer is also included in CC11x1-Q1. When asynchronous transfer is enabled, several of the support mechanisms for the MCU that are included in CC11x1-Q1 are disabled, such as packet handling hardware, buffering in the FIFO, and so on. The asynchronous transfer mode does not allow the use of the data whitener, interleaver, and FEC, and it is not possible to use Manchester encoding. NOTE MSK is not supported for asynchronous transfer. Setting PKTCTRL0.PKT_FORMAT to 3 enables asynchronous serial mode. In TX, the GDO0 pin is used for data input (TX data). Data output can be on GDO0, GDO1, or GDO2. This is set by the IOCFG0.GDO0_CFG, IOCFG1.GDO1_CFG and IOCFG2.GDO2_CFG fields. The CC11x1-Q1 modulator samples the level of the asynchronous input 8 times faster than the programmed data rate. The timing requirement for the asynchronous stream is that the error in the bit period must be less than one eighth of the programmed data rate. 3.26.2 Synchronous Serial Operation Setting PKTCTRL0.PKT_FORMAT to 1 enables synchronous serial mode. In the synchronous serial Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback 59 CC11x1-Q1 SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 www.ti.com mode, data is transferred on a two wire serial interface. The CC11x1-Q1 provides a clock that is used to set up new data on the data input line or sample data on the data output line. Data input (TX data) is the GDO0 pin. This pin is automatically configured as an input when TX is active. The data output pin can be any of the GDO pins (this is set by the IOCFG0.GDO0_CFG, IOCFG1.GDO1_CFG, and IOCFG2.GDO2_CFG fields). Preamble and sync word insertion/detection may or may not be active, dependent on the sync mode set by the MDMCFG2.SYNC_MODE. If preamble and sync word is disabled, all other packet handler features and FEC should also be disabled. The MCU must then handle preamble and sync word insertion and detection in software. If preamble and sync word insertion/detection is left on, all packet handling features and FEC can be used. One exception is that the address filtering feature is unavailable in synchronous serial mode. When using the packet handling features in synchronous serial mode, the CC11x1-Q1 inserts and detects the preamble and sync word and the MCU only provides/gets the data payload. This is equivalent to the recommended FIFO operation mode. 3.27 System Considerations and Guidelines 3.27.1 SRD Regulations International regulations and national laws regulate the use of radio receivers and transmitters. Short range devices (SRDs) for license-free operation below 1 GHz are usually operated in the 433 MHz, 868 MHz, or 915 MHz frequency bands. The CC11x1-Q1 is specifically designed for such use with its 310 MHz to 348 MHz, 420 MHz to 450 MHz, and 779 MHz to 928 MHz operating ranges. The most important regulations when using the CC11x1-Q1 in the 433 MHz, 868 MHz, or 915 MHz frequency bands are EN 300 220 (Europe) and FCC CFR47 Part 15 (USA). A summary of the most important aspects of these regulations can be found in SRD Regulations for Licence Free Transceiver Operation (SWRA090). NOTE Compliance with regulations is dependent on complete system performance. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the system complies with regulations. 3.27.2 Frequency Hopping and Multi-Channel Systems The 433-MHz, 868-MHz, and 915-MHz bands are shared by many systems both in industrial, office, and home environments. It is therefore recommended to use a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) or multi-channel protocol, because the frequency diversity makes the system more robust with respect to interference from other systems operating in the same frequency band. FHSS also combats multipath fading. CC11x1-Q1 is highly suited for FHSS or multi-channel systems due to its agile frequency synthesizer and effective communication interface. Using the packet handling support and data buffering is also beneficial in such systems, as these features significantly offload the host controller. Charge pump current, VCO current, and VCO capacitance array calibration data is required for each frequency when implementing frequency hopping for CC11x1-Q1. There are three ways of obtaining the calibration data from the chip: 1. Frequency hopping with calibration for each hop. The PLL calibration time is approximately 720 µs. The blanking interval between each frequency hop is then approximately 810 µs. 2. Fast frequency hopping without calibration for each hop can be done by calibrating each frequency at startup and saving the resulting FSCAL3, FSCAL2, and FSCAL1 register values in MCU memory. Between each frequency hop, the calibration process can then be replaced by writing the FSCAL3, FSCAL2, and FSCAL1 register values corresponding to the next RF frequency. The PLL turn-on time is approximately 90 µs. The blanking interval between each frequency hop is then approximately 90 µs. The VCO current calibration result available in FSCAL2 is not dependent on the RF frequency. 60 Detailed Description Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback CC11x1-Q1 www.ti.com SWRS076B – 11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2010 Neither is the charge pump current calibration result available in FSCAL3. The same value can, therefore, be used for all frequencies. 3. Run calibration on a single frequency at startup. Next, write 0 to FSCAL3[5:4] to disable the charge-pump calibration. After writing to FSCAL3[5:4], strobe SRX (or STX) with MCSM0.FS_AUTOCAL = 1 for each new frequency hop. That is, VCO current and VCO capacitance calibration are done but not charge-pump current calibration. When charge pump current calibration is disabled, the calibration time is reduced from approximately 720 µs to approximately 150 µs. The blanking interval between each frequency hop is then approximately 240 µs. There is a trade off between blanking time and memory space needed for storing calibration data in non-volatile memory. Solution 2 above gives the shortest blanking interval, but requires more memory space to store calibration values. Solution 3 gives approximately 570 µs smaller blanking interval than solution 1. NOTE The recommended settings for TEST0.VCO_SEL_CAL_EN change with frequency. Therefore, SmartRF Studio should be used to determine the correct settings for a specific frequency before doing a calibration, regardless of which calibration method is used. It must be noted that the TESTn registers (n = 0, 1, or 2) content is not retained in SLEEP state, and thus it is necessary to rewrite these registers when returning from the SLEEP state. 3.27.3 Wideband Modulation Not Using Spread Spectrum Digital modulation systems under FFC Part 15.247 include 2-FSK and GFSK modulation. A maximum peak output power of 1 W (+30 dBm) is allowed if the 6-dB bandwidth of the modulated signal exceeds 500 kHz. In addition, the peak power spectral density conducted to the antenna shall not be greater than 8 dBm in any 3-kHz band. Operating at high data rates and frequency separation, the CC11x1-Q1 is suited for systems targeting compliance with digital modulation system as defined by FFC part 15.247. An external power amplifier is needed to increase the output above 10 dBm. 3.27.4 Data Burst Transmissions The high maximum data rate of CC11x1-Q1 allows burst transmissions. A low average data rate link (e.g., 10 kBaud), can be realized using a higher over-the-air data rate. Buffering the data and transmitting in bursts at high data rate (e.g., 500 kBaud) reduces the time in active mode and, therefore, reduces the average current consumption significantly. Reducing the time in active mode reduces the likelihood of collisions with other systems in the same frequency range. 3.27.5 Continuous Transmissions In data streaming applications, the CC11x1-Q1 allows continuous transmissions at 500-kBaud effective data rate. As the modulation is done with a closed-loop PLL, there is no limitation on the length of a transmission (open-loop modulation used in some transceivers often prevents this continuous data streaming and reduces the effective data rate). 3.27.6 Crystal Drift Compensation The CC11x1-Q1 has a very fine frequency resolution (see Section 2.11). This feature can be used to compensate for frequency offset and drift.

The measured frequency offset can be used to calibrate the frequency using the external transmitter as the reference. That is, the received signal of the device matches the receiver's channel filter better. In the same way, the center frequency of the transmitted signal matches the external transmitter's signal. 3.27.7 Spectrum Efficient Modulation CC11x1-Q1 also allows the use of Gaussian shaped 2-FSK (GFSK). This spectrum-shaping feature improves adjacent channel power (ACP) and occupied bandwidth. In true 2-FSK systems with abrupt frequency shifting, the spectrum is inherently broad. By making the frequency shift softer, the spectrum can be made significantly narrower. Thus, higher data rates can be transmitted in the same bandwidth using GFSK. 3.27.8 Low Cost Systems As the CC11x1-Q1 provides 250-kBaud multi-channel performance without any external filters, a very low-cost system can be made. A differential antenna eliminates the need for a balun, and the dc biasing can be achieved in the antenna topology, see Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3. A HC-49 type SMD crystal is used in the reference designs. Note that the crystal package strongly influences the price. In a size-constrained PCB design a smaller but more expensive crystal can be used. 3.27.9 Battery Operated Systems In low-power applications, the SLEEP state with the crystal oscillator core switched off should be used when the CC11x1-Q1 is not active. The crystal oscillator core can be left running in the SLEEP state if start-up time is critical. The WOR functionality should be used in low power applications. 3.27.10 Increasing Output Power In some applications, it may be necessary to extend the link range. Adding an external power amplifier is the most effective way to do this. The power amplifier should be inserted between the antenna and the balun, and two T/R switches are needed to disconnect the PA in RX mode (see Figure 3-24). Antenna Filter PA Balun T/R Switch TMS37171 T/R Switch Figure 3-24.

The optimum configuration data based on selected system parameters are most easily found by using the SmartRF Studio software. Complete descriptions of the registers are given in the following tables. After chip reset, all the registers have default values as shown in the tables. The optimum register setting might differ from the default value. After a reset, all registers that should be different from the default value, therefore, need to be programmed through the SPI interface. There are 13 command strobe registers, listed in Table 4-1. Accessing these registers initiates the change of an internal state or mode. There are 47 normal 8-bit configuration registers, listed in Table 4-2. Many of these registers are for test purposes only and need not be written for normal operation of CC11x1-Q1. There are also 12 status registers, listed in Table 4-3. These registers, which are read-only, contain information about the status of CC11x1-Q1. The two FIFOs are accessed through one 8-bit register. Write operations write to the TX FIFO, while read operations read from the RX FIFO. During the header byte transfer and while writing data to a register or the TX FIFO, a status byte is returned on the SO line. This status byte is described in Table 3-3. Table 4-7 summarizes the SPI address space. The address to use is given by adding the base address to the left and the burst and read/write bits on the top. Note that the burst bit has different meaning for base addresses above and below 0x2F. Table 4-1.

For ASK/OOK modulation, RX times out if there is no carrier sense in the first 8 symbol periods. When the RX_TIME timer expires, the chip checks if sync word is found when RX_TIME_QUAL = 0, or either sync word is found or PQI is set when RX_TIME_QUAL = 1. Timeout for sync word search in RX for both WOR mode and normal RX operation. The timeout is relative to the programmed EVENT0 timeout. The RX timeout in µs is given by EVENT0 × C(RX_TIME, WOR_RES) × 26/X, where C is given by the following table, and X is the crystal oscillator frequency in MHz.

Note that WOR_RES should be 0 or 1 when using WOR, because using WOR_RES > 1 gives a very low duty cycle. In applications where WOR is not used all settings of WOR_RES can be used.

If XOSC is on (stable) during power-down, PO_TIMEOUT should be set so that the regulated digital supply voltage has time to stabilize before CHP_RDYn goes low (PO_TIMEOUT = 2 recommended). Typical start-up time for the voltage regulator is 50 us. If XOSC is off during power-down and the regulated digital supply voltage has sufficient time to stabilize while waiting for the crystal to be stable, PO_TIMEOUT can be set to 0.
