3 Block Diagrams
shows a simplified block diagram of the MC13192/MC13193 which is an IEEE Standard
802.15.4 compatible transceiver that provides the functions required in the physical layer (PHY)
specification.
shows the basic system block diagram for the MC13192/MC13193 in an
application. Interface with the transceiver is accomplished through a 4-wire SPI port and interrupt request
line. The media access control (MAC), drivers, and network and application software (as required) reside
on the host processor. The host can vary from a simple 8-bit device up to a sophisticated 32-bit processor
depending on application requirements.
4 Data Transfer Modes
The MC13192/MC13193 has two data transfer modes:
1. Packet Mode — Data is buffered in on-chip RAM
2. Streaming Mode — Data is processed word-by-word
The Freescale 802.15.4 MAC software only supports the streaming mode of data transfer. For proprietary
applications, packet mode can be used to conserve MCU resources.
4.1 Packet Structure
shows the packet structure of the MC13192/MC13193. Payloads of up to 125 bytes are supported.
The MC13192/MC13193 adds a four-byte preamble, a one-byte Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD), and a
one-byte Frame Length Indicator (FLI) before the data. A Frame Check Sequence (FCS) is calculated and
appended to the end of the data.
