RX Polling Mode
The transceiver is set to RX operation with the bits OPM0 and OPM1 in control register 1.
Table 9-1.
The transceiver is designed to consume less than 1 mA in RX operation while remaining sensi-
tive to signals from a corresponding transmitter. This is achieved via the polling circuit. This
circuit enables the signal path periodically for a short time. During this time the bit-check logic
verifies the presence of a valid transmitter signal. Only if a valid signal is detected does the
transceiver remain active and transfer the data to the connected microcontroller. This transfer
takes place either via the TX/RX data buffer or via the pin SDO_TMDO. When there is no valid
signal present, the transceiver is in sleep mode most of the time, resulting in low current con-
sumption. This condition is called RX polling mode. A connected microcontroller can be disabled
during this time.
All relevant parameters of the polling logic can be configured by the connected microcontroller.
This flexibility enables the user to meet the specifications in terms of current consumption, sys-
tem response time, data rate, etc.
In RX mode the RF transceiver is enabled permanently and the bit-check logic verifies the pres-
ence of a valid transmitter signal. When a valid signal is detected the transceiver transfers the
data to the connected microcontroller. This transfer take place either via the TX/RX data buffer
or via the pin SDO_TMDO.
When the transceiver is in RX polling mode it stays in a continuous cycle of three different
modes. In sleep mode the RF transceiver is disabled for the time period T
low current of I
cessing circuits are enabled and settled. In the following bit-check mode, the incoming data
stream is analyzed bit by bit to see if it is a valid transmitter signal. If no valid signal is present,
the transceiver is set back to sleep mode after the period T
