bit 7 bit 0

Legend: r = reserved bit

R = Readable bit W = Writable bit U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’

-n = Value at POR ‘1’ = Bit is set ‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown

bit 15-8 CCB<15:8>: Command Code bits

The command code bits (11000100b) are serially sent to the microcontroller to identify the bits to be

written in the AFCCREG.

bit 7-6 AUTOMS<1:0>: Automatic mode Selection bits (for AFC)

These bits select the operation type (automatic/manual) for performing AFC based on the status of

the MFCS bit.

11 = Keeps offset independent for the state of the DIO signal

10 = Keeps offset only while receiving (DIO = High)

01 = Runs and measures only once after each power-up cycle

00 = Auto mode off (controlled by microcontroller)

bit 5-4 ARFO<1:0>: Allowable Range for Frequency Offset bits

These bits select the offset range allowable between transmitter and receiver frequencies.

11 = +3 F

RES to -4 FRES

(1)

10 = +7 FRES to -8 FRES

01 = +15 FRES to -16 FRES

00 = No restriction

bit 3 MFCS: Manual Frequency Control Strobe bit

This bit is the strobe signal which initiates the manual frequency control sample to calculate the offset error.

1 = A sample of a received signal is compared with a receiver Local Oscillator (LO) signal and an offset

error is calculated. If bit 1 is enabled, the value is stored in the Offset register of the AFC block.

(2)

0 = Ready for the next sample

bit 2 HAM: High-Accuracy (Fine) mode bit

(3)

1 = Switches the Frequency Control mode to High-Accuracy mode

0 = Frequency Control mode works in regular mode

bit 1 FOREN: Frequency Offset Register Enable bit

1 = Enables the offset value calculated by the offset sample. The offset value is added to the frequency

control word of the PLL which tunes the desired carrier frequency.

0 = Denies the addition of the offset value to the frequency control word of the PLL

bit 0 FOFEN: Frequency Offset Enable bit

1 = Enables the frequency offset calculation using the AFC circuit

0 = Disables the frequency offset calculation using the AFC circuit

Note 1: The F

RES is the frequency tuning resolution for each band. The FRES for each band is as follows:

433 MHz = 2.5 kHz

868 MHz = 5 kHz

915 MHz = 7.5 kHz

2: The offset error value is stored in the Offset register (FOREN bit should be enabled) in the AFC block and

is added to the frequency control word of the PLL. Reset this bit before initiating another sample.

3: In High-Accuracy (Fine) mode, the processing time is twice the regular mode, but the uncertainty of the

measurement is significantly reduced.
