RegOcp
(0x0B)
7-6 unused r 0x00 unused
5 OcpOn rw 0x01
Enables overload current protection (OCP) for the PA:
0 OCP disabled
1
OCP enabled
4-0 OcpTrim rw 0x0B
Trimming of OCP current:
I
max
= 45+5*OcpTrim [mA] if OcpTrim <= 15 (120 mA) /
I
max
= -30+10*OcpTrim [mA] if 15 < OcpTrim <= 27 (130 to 240
mA)
I
max
= 240mA for higher settings
Default I
max
= 100mA
Registers for the Receiver
RegLna
(0x0C)
7-5 LnaGain rw 0x01
LNA gain setting:
000 reserved
001 G1 = highest gain
010 G2 = highest gain – 6 dB
011 G3 = highest gain – 12 dB
100 G4 = highest gain – 24 dB
101 G5 = highest gain – 36 dB
110 G6 = highest gain – 48 dB
111 reserved
Note:
Reading this address always returns the current LNA gain (which
may be different from what had been previously selected if AGC
is enabled.
4-2 - r 0x00 unused
1-0 LnaBoost rw 0x00
Improves the system Noise Figure at the expense of Rx current
consumption:
00
Default setting, meeting the specification
11
Improved sensitivity
RegRxConfig
(0x0D)
7 RestartRxOnCollision rw 0x00
Turns on the mechanism restarting the receiver automatically if it
gets saturated or a packet collision is detected
0
No automatic Restart
1
Automatic restart On
6 RestartRxWithoutPllLock wt 0x00
Triggers a manual Restart of the Receiver chain when set to 1.
Use this bit when there is no frequency change,
RestartRxWithPllLock otherwise.
5 RestartRxWithPllLock wt 0x00
Triggers a manual Restart of the Receiver chain when set to 1.
Use this bit when there is a frequency change, requiring some
time for the PLL to re-lock.
4 AfcAutoOn rw 0x00
0
No AFC performed at receiver startup
1
AFC is performed at each receiver startup
3 AgcAutoOn rw 0x01
0
LNA gain forced by the LnaGain Setting
1
LNA gain is controlled by the AGC
2-0 RxTrigger rw
0x06
*
Selects the event triggering AGC and/or AFC at receiver startup.
