Programming
General
The MICRF620 functions are enabled through a number of
programming bits. The programming bits are organized as
a set of addressable control registers, each register
holding 8 bits.
There are 23 control registers in total in the MICRF620,
and they have addresses ranging from 0 to 22. The user
can read all the control registers. The user can write to the
first 22 registers (0 to 21); the register 22 is a read-only
register.
All control registers hold 8 bits and all 8 bits must be
written to when accessing a control register, or they will be
read. Some of the registers do not utilize all 8 bits. The
value of an unused bit is “don’t care.”
The control register with address 0 is referred to as
ControlRegister0, the control register with address 1 is
ControlRegister1 and so on. A summary of the control
registers is given in the table below. In addition to the
unused bits (marked with”-“) there are a number of fixed
bits (marked with “0” or “1”). Always maintain these as

shown in the table.
The control registers in MICRF620 are accessed through a
3-wire interface; clock, data and chip select. These lines
are referred to as SCLK, IO, and CS, respectively. This 3-
wire interface is dedicated to control register access and is
referred to as the control interface. Received data (via RF)
and data to transmit (via RF) are handled by the DataIXO
and DataClk (if enabled) lines; this is referred to as the
data interface.
The SCLK line is applied externally; access to the control
registers are carried out at a rate determined by the user.
The MICRF620 will ignore transitions on the SCLK line if
the CS line is inactive. The MICRF620 can be put on a
bus, sharing clock and data lines with other devices.
All control registers should be written to after a battery
reset. During operation, it is sufficient to write to one
register only. The MICRF620 will automatically enter
power down mode after a battery reset.
