Serial Interface Baud Rate
This two-byte value determines the baud rate used for communicating over the serial interface between the
OEM Host and the transceiver. This rate is independent of the RF baud rate, which is fixed at 76.8 Kbps.
Table 6 lists values for some common baud rates.
Note: Baud rates below 1200 baud are not supported.
For a baud rate to be valid, the calculated baud rate must be within ±3% of the OEM host baud rate. If the
Test pin (pin 12) is pulled Logic Low at reset, the baud rate will be forced to 9600. For baud rate values other
than those shown in
, the following equations can be used:
BAUD =
