to the transmit frequency within 16 µs. The modulation starts 16 µs after the rising edge of
SLP_TR. During this time, the PA buffer and the internal PA are enabled.
The control of an external PA is done via differential pin pair DIG3/DIG4. DIG3 = H / DIG4 = L
indicates that the transmission starts and can be used to enable an external PA. The timing of
pins DIG3/DIG4 can be adjusted relative to the start of the frame and the activation of the inter-
nal PA buffer. This is controlled using register bits PA_BUF_LT and PA_LT. For details refer to
Section 9.2.4 “TX Power Ramping” on page
Register 0x04 (TRX_CTRL_1):
The TRX_CTRL_1 register is a multi purpose register to control various operating modes and
settings of the radio transceiver.
• Bit 7 - PA_EXT_EN
This register bit enables pin 1 (DIG3) and pin 2 (DIG4) to indicate the transmit state of the radio
transceiver.
