Pin 11 (SLP_TR) is a multi-functional pin. Its function relates to the current state of the
AT86RF231 and is summarized in
explained in detail
In states PLL_ON and TX_ARET_ON, pin SLP_TR is used as trigger input to initiate a TX trans-
action. Here pin SLP_TR is sensitive on rising edge only.
After initiating a state change by a rising edge at pin SLP_TR in radio transceiver states
TRX_OFF, RX_ON or RX_AACK_ON, the radio transceiver remains in the new state as long as
the pin is logical high and returns to the preceding state with the falling edge.
SLEEP state
The SLEEP state is used when radio transceiver functionality is not required, and thus the
AT86RF231 can be powered down to reduce the overall power consumption.
A power-down scenario is shown in
TRX_OFF state the microcontroller forces the AT86RF231 to SLEEP by setting SLP_TR = H. If
pin 17 (CLKM) provides a clock to the microcontroller this clock is switched off after 35 clock
cycles. This enables a microcontroller in a synchronous system to complete its power-down rou-
tine and prevent deadlock situations. The AT86RF231 awakes when the microcontroller
releases pin SLP_TR. This concept provides the lowest possible power consumption.
The CLKM clock frequency settings for 250 kHz and 62.5 kHz are not intended to directly clock
the microcontroller. When using these clock rates, CLKM is turned off immediately when enter-
ing SLEEP state.
