• Manufacturer Part Number: SX1210
• Description: Ultra-Low Power Integrated UHF Receiver
• Manufacturer: SEMTECH [Semtech Corporation]

Note that depending upon the application, some uC connections may not be needed:
In addition, DATA pin (unused in buffered mode) should be pulled-up to VDD through a 100 kΩ resistor.
Please refer to Table 11 for the SX1210’s pin configuration.

RXParam
IRQ_0: if none of the relevant IRQ sources are used. In this case, leave floating.
IRQ_1: if none of the relevant IRQ sources are used. In this case, leave floating.
Configure all data processing related registers listed below appropriately. In this example we assume Sync
word recognition is on and Fifo_fill_method=0.
Program Rx/Stby interrupts: IRQ_0 mapped to /Fifoempty (Rx_stby_irq_0=10) and IRQ_1 mapped to
Fifo_threshold (Rx_stby_irq_1=01). Configure Fifo_thresh to an appropriate value (ex: to detect packet end if
its length is known)
Go to Rx mode (note that Rx is not ready immediately, Cf section 7.3.1).
Wait for Fifo_threshold interrupt (i.e. Sync word has been detected and FIFO filled up to the defined threshold).
If it is packet end, go to Stby (SR’s content is lost).
Read packet bytes from FIFO until /Fifoempty goes low (or correct number of bytes is read).
Go to Sleep mode.
