23.6. Data Handling and Packet Handler
The internal modem is designed to operate with a packet including a 010101... preamble structure. To con-
figure the modem to operate with packet formats without a preamble or other legacy packet structures con-
tact customer support.
23.6.1. RX and TX FIFOs
Two 64 byte FIFOs are integrated into the chip, one for RX and one for TX, as shown in Figure 23.11.
"Register 7Fh. FIFO Access" is used to access both FIFOs. A burst write to address 7Fh will write data to
the TX FIFO. A burst read from address 7Fh will read data from the RX FIFO.

Figure 23.11. FIFO Thresholds
The TX FIFO has two programmable thresholds. An interrupt event occurs when the data in the TX FIFO
reaches these thresholds. The first threshold is the FIFO almost full threshold, txafthr[5:0]. The value in this
register corresponds to the desired threshold value in number of bytes. When the data being filled into the
TX FIFO crosses this threshold limit, an interrupt to the microcontroller is generated so the chip can enter
TX mode to transmit the contents of the TX FIFO. The second threshold for TX is the FIFO almost empty
threshold, txaethr[5:0]. When the data being shifted out of the TX FIFO drops below the almost empty
threshold an interrupt will be generated. If more data is not loaded into the FIFO then the chip
automatically exits the TX State after the ipksent interrupt occurs. The chip will return to the mode selected
by the remaining bits in SPI Register 07h. For example, the chip may be placed into TX mode by setting
the txon bit, but with the xton bit additionally set. For this condition, the chip will transmit all of the contents
of the FIFO and the ipksent interrupt will occur. When this interrupt event occurs, the chip will clear the txon
bit and return to READY mode, as indicated by the set state of the xton bit. If the pllon bit D1 is set when
entering TX mode (i.e., SPI Register 07h = 0Ah), the chip will exit from TX mode after sending the packet
and return to TUNE mode.
However, the chip will not automatically return to STANDBY mode upon exit from the TX state, in the event
the TX packet is initiated by setting SPI Register 07h = 08h (i.e., setting only txon bit D3). The chip will
instead return to READY mode, with the crystal oscillator remaining enabled. This is intentional; the sys-
tem may be configured such that the host MCU derives its clock from the MCU_CLK output of the RFIC
(through GPIO2), and this clock signal must not be shut down without allowing the host MCU time to pro-
cess any interrupt signals that may have occurred. The host MCU must subsequently perform a WRITE to
SPI Register 07h = 00h to enter STANDBY mode and obtain minimum current consumption.
