6. Microcontroller Interface
8111C–MCU Wireless–09/09
This section describes the AT86RF231 to microcontroller interface. The interface comprises a
slave SPI and additional control signals; see
are described below.
Figure 6-1.
Microcontrollers with a master SPI such as Atmel's AVR family interface directly to the
AT86RF231. The SPI is used for register, Frame Buffer, SRAM and AES access. The additional
control signals are connected to the GPIO/IRQ interface of the microcontroller.
