Programming
General
The MICRF506 functions are enabled through a
number of programming bits. The programming bits
are organized as a set of addressable control
registers, each register holding 8 bits.
There are 23 control registers in total in the
MICRF506, and they have addresses ranging from 0
to 22. The user can read all the control registers.
The user can write to the first 22 registers (0 to 21);
the register 22 is a read-only register.
All control registers hold 8 bits and all 8 bits must be
written to when accessing a control register, or they
will be read. Some of the registers do not utilize all 8
bits. The value of an unused bit is “don’t care.”
The control register with address 0 is referred to as
ControlRegister0, the control register with address 1
is ControlRegister1 and so on. A summary of the
control registers is given in the table below. In
addition to the unused bits (marked with”-“) there are
a number of mandatory bits (marked with “0” or “1”).
Always maintain these as shown in the table.
The control registers in MICRF506 are accessed
through a 3-wire interface; clock, data and chip
select. These lines are referred to as SCLK, IO, and
CS, respectively. This 3-wire interface is dedicated
to control register access and is referred to as the
control interface. Received data (via RF) and data to
transmit (via RF) are handled by the DataIXO and
DataClk (if enabled) lines; this is referred to as the
data interface.
The SCLK line is applied externally; access to the
control registers are carried out at a rate determined
by the user. The MICRF506 will ignore transitions on
the SCLK line if the CS line is inactive. The
MICRF506 can be put on a bus, sharing clock and
data lines with other devices.
All control registers should be written to after a
battery reset. During operation, it is sufficient to write
to one register only. The MICRF506 will
automatically enter power down mode after a battery
reset.
