4.1.6. LoRa
TM
Modem State Machine Sequences
The sequence for transmission and reception of data to and from the LoRa
TM
modem, together with flow charts of typical
sequences of operation, are detailed below.
Data Transmission Sequence
In transmit mode power consumption is optimized by enabling RF, PLL and PA blocks only when packet data needs to be
transmitted.
Figure 10 shows a typical LoRa
TM
transmit sequence.
Figure 10. LoRa
TM
modulation transmission sequence.
Static configuration registers can only be accessed in Sleep mode, Stand-by mode or FSTX mode.
The LoRa
TM
FIFO should only be filled in Stand-by mode and cannot be filled in Sleep mode.
Data transmission is initiated by sending TX mode request.
Upon completion the TxDone interrupt is issued and the radio returns to Stand-by mode.
Following transmission the radio can be manually placed in Sleep mode or the FIFO refilled for a subsequent Tx
operation.
