BUSY_TX - Transmit State

This state can only be entered by setting pin 11 (SLP_TR) = H while the radio transceiver is in
the RX_ON state, refer to

down sequence.
Note that for CLKM clock rates 250 kHz and 62.5 kHz the master clock signal CLKM is switched
off immediately after rising edge of SLP_TR.
The reception of a frame shall be indicated to the microcontroller by an interrupt indicating the
receive status. CLKM is turned on again, and the radio transceiver enters the BUSY_RX state

cating the reception status. Otherwise the reception of a frame does not activate CLKM and the
microcontroller remains in its power-down mode.
After the receive transaction has been completed, the radio transceiver enters the RX_ON state.
The radio transceiver only reenters the RX_ON_NOCLK state, when the next rising edge of pin
SLP_TR pin occurs.
If the AT86RF231 is in the RX_ON_NOCLK state, and pin SLP_TR is reset to logic low, it enters
the RX_ON state, and it starts to supply clock on the CLKM pin again.
In states RX_ON_NOCLK and RX_ON, the radio transceiver current consumptions are equiva-
lent. However, the RX_ON_NOCLK current consumption is reduced by the current required for
driving pin 17 (CLKM).
Note
A transmission can only be initiated in state PLL_ON. There are two ways to start a
transmission:
Either of these causes the radio transceiver into the BUSY_TX state.
During the transition to BUSY_TX state, the PLL frequency shifts to the transmit frequency. The
actual transmission of the first data chip of the SHR starts after 16 µs to allow PLL settling and

tent is transmitted. In case the PHR indicates a frame length of zero, the transmission is aborted.
After the frame transmission has completed, the AT86RF231 automatically turns off the power
amplifier, generates an IRQ_3 (TRX_END) interrupt and returns into PLL_ON state.
The RESET state is used to set back the state machine and to reset all registers of the
AT86RF231 to their default values, exception are register bits CLKM_CTRL (register 0x03,
TRX_CTRL_0). These register bits require a specific treatment, for details see

the radio transceiver enters directly the SLEEP state.
