BC66F5652
2.4GHz RF Transceiver A/D Flash MCU
There are eight operating modes in the RF Transceiver from the viewpoint of current consumption,
as listed below.
1. Power Down state
2. Deep Sleep state: 3.3V I/O on
3. Light Sleep state: BG (Bandgap) and XO on
4. Standby state: Synthesizer on
5. Calibration state
6. Middle Sleep state: Lower current consumption than light Sleep state function is on
7. TX state
8. RX state

Power Down State
In the Power Down state, the RF Transceiver is disabled without power supply.
Deep Sleep State
After power on, the RF Transceiver completes the internal power on reset then the system will stay
in the Deep Sleep mode to wait further SPI commands from the device and keep a minimum current
consumption, the SPI remain active as well. When the SPI CSN pin is detected changing from high
to low, the system will enable the internal LDO, bring up XTAL and stay in the Light Sleep state.
Light Sleep State
In the Light Sleep state, both of XTAL and BG are on and ready for TX/RX operation. In this state,
the device can have the RF Transceiver do calibration process if necessary. By issuing the Deep
Sleep setting command, the RF Transceiver will power down the LDO and XO and enter the Deep
Sleep state. After the TX/RX completion, the RF Transceiver will return to the Light Sleep mode.
Middle Sleep State
For further current consumption reduction of the Light Sleep mode, the RF Transceiver supports
low current Middle Sleep mode. In this state, the system will keep XTAL on in order to be woken
up immediately but with lower XTAL driving for power saving by issuing the Middle Sleep mode
setting command. The current is less than 30μA in the Middle Sleep mode and the RF Transceiver
could quickly return (<10μs) to the Light Sleep state after receiving the Light Sleep setting
command. In the Middle Sleep mode, the whole system is idle with only XTAL running under the
bleeding current.
Calibration State
There is a VCO calibration function built in the RF Transceiver to assist users to auto select proper
setting to compensate the PVT (Process-Voltage-Temperature) variation effect. The device can
enable the calibration by setting the ACAL_EN bit and poll the ACAL_EN bit status until ACAL_
