SiFLEX02-HP TRANSCEIVER MODULE DATASHEET MODULE OVERVIEW Figure 4 shows the internal interconnects of the ICs on the SiFLEX02-HP module. Consult the respective IC datasheets for details, or contact LSR sales to purchase the SiFLEX02-HP module schematics as part of LSR’s ModFLEX™ design program. For a high-level block diagram of the SiFLEX02-HP module, see Figure 1.
SiFLEX02-HP TRANSCEIVER MODULE DATASHEET Figure 5 ATXMEGA256A3 Block Diagram The AVR CPU combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All the 32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction, executed in one clock cycle.
SiFLEX02-HP TRANSCEIVER MODULE DATASHEET The XMEGA A3 devices have five software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, DMA Controller, Event System, Interrupt Controller and all peripherals to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the SRAM and register contents but stops the oscillators, disabling all other functions until the next TWI or pin-change interrupt, or Reset.

SiFLEX02-HP TRANSCEIVER MODULE DATASHEET CLEANING SHIPPING, HANDLING, AND STORAGE In general, cleaning the populated modules is strongly discouraged. Residuals under the module cannot be easily removed with any cleaning process. Shipping • • • Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects where water is absorbed into the gap between the host board and the module. The combination of soldering flux residuals and encapsulated water could lead to short circuits between neighboring pads.
