The 128-byte Frame Buffer can hold the PHY service data unit (PSDU) data of one
IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RX or one TX frame of maximum length at a time. A detailed descrip-
tion of the Frame Buffer can be found in
to the IEEE 802.15.4 frame format can be found in
Frame Buffer read and write accesses are used to read or write frame data (PSDU and addi-
tional information) from or to the Frame Buffer. Each access starts with /SEL = L followed by a
command byte on MOSI. If this byte indicates a frame read or write access, the next byte
PHR[7:0] indicates the frame length followed by the PSDU data, see
Figure 6-8 on page
On Frame Buffer read access, PHY header (PHR) and PSDU are transferred via MISO starting
with the second byte. After the PSDU data, one more byte is transferred containing the link qual-
ity indication (LQI) value of the received frame, for details refer to
