The number of bytes n for one Frame Buffer access is calculated as follow:
Receive:
Transmit:
The maximum value of frame_length is 127 bytes. That means that n ≤ 130 for Frame
Buffer read access and n ≤ 129 for Frame Buffer write access. Each read or write of a
data byte increments automatically the address counter of the Frame Buffer until the
access is terminated by setting SEL = H.
Figure 6-9 and Figure 6-10 illustrate an example SPI sequence of a Frame Buffer
access to write and read a frame with 4-byte PSDU respectively.

Access violations during a Frame Buffer write or read access are indicated by a
TRX_UR interrupt. For further details refer to section 9.3.3.
The SRAM access mode allows access to certain bytes within the Frame Buffer. This
may reduce SPI traffic.
