Figure 18: Power Level vs. Resistor Value
Using the Low Power Features
The Power Down (POWER_DOWN) line can be used to completely power
down the transceiver module without the need for an external switch.
This line allows easy control of the transceiver power state from external
components, such as a microcontroller. The module is not functional while
in power down mode.
Using the LVL_ADJ Line
The Level Adjust (LVL_ADJ) line allows the transceiver’s output power to be
easily adjusted for range control or lower power consumption. This is done
by placing a resistor to ground on LVL_ADJ to form a voltage divider with
an internal 100k
Ω resistor. When the transceiver powers up, the voltage on
this line is measured and the output power level is set accordingly. When
LVL_ADJ is connected to V
CC
or floating, the output power and current
consumption are the highest. When connected to ground, the output
power and current are the lowest. The power is digitally controlled in 58
steps providing approximately 0.5dB per step. See the Typical Performance
Graphs section (Figure 6) for a graph of the output power vs. LVL_ADJ
resistance.
Even in designs where attenuation is not anticipated, it is a good idea to
place resistor pads connected to
LVL_ADJ and ground so that it can be used if needed. Figure 18 shows
the 1% tolerance resistor value that is needed to set each power level and
gives the approximate output power for each level. The output power levels
are approximate and may vary part-to-part.
Warning: The LVL_ADJ line uses a resistor divider to create a voltage
that determines the output power. Any additional current sourcing or
sinking can change this voltage and result in a different power level. The
power level should be checked to confirm that it is set as expected.
Warning: Pulling any of the module inputs high while in Power Down
can partially activate the module, increasing current consumption
and potentially placing it into an indeterminate state that could lead
to unpredictable operation. Pull all inputs low before pulling POWER_
DOWN low to prevent this issue. Lines that may be hardwired (for
example, the ACK_EN line) can be connected to the POWER_DOWN
line so that they are lowered when POWER_DOWN is lowered.
