23.1.1.1. SHUTDOWN State
The SHUTDOWN state is the lowest current consumption state of the device with nominally less than
15 nA of current consumption. The shutdown state may be entered by driving the SDN pin (Pin 20) high.
The SDN pin should be held low in all states except the SHUTDOWN state. In the SHUTDOWN state, the
contents of the registers are lost and there is no SPI access.
When the chip is connected to the power supply, a POR will be initiated after the falling edge of SDN. After
a POR, the device will be in READY mode with the buffers enabled.
23.1.1.1.1. IDLE State
There are five different modes in the IDLE state which may be selected by "Register 07h. Operating Mode
and Function Control 1". All modes have a tradeoff between current consumption and response time to
TX/RX mode. This tradeoff is shown in Table 23.2. After the POR event, SWRESET, or exiting from the
SHUTDOWN state the chip will default to the IDLE-READY mode. After a POR event the interrupt registers
must be read to properly enter the SLEEP, SENSOR, or STANDBY mode and to control the 32 kHz clock
correctly.
23.1.1.1.2. STANDBY Mode
STANDBY mode has the lowest current consumption of the five IDLE states with only the LPLDO enabled
to maintain the register values. In this mode the registers can be accessed in both read and write mode.
The STANDBY mode can be entered by writing 0h to "Register 07h. Operating Mode and Function Control
1". If an interrupt has occurred (i.e., the nIRQ pin = 0) the interrupt registers must be read to achieve the
minimum current consumption. Additionally, the ADC should not be selected as an input to the GPIO in this
mode as it will cause excess current consumption.
23.1.1.1.3. SLEEP Mode
In SLEEP mode the LPLDO is enabled along with the Wake-Up-Timer, which can be used to accurately
wake-up the radio at specified intervals. See “Wake-Up Timer and 32 kHz Clock Source” on page 285 for
more information on the Wake-Up-Timer. SLEEP mode is entered by setting enwt = 1 (40h) in "Register
07h. Operating Mode and Function Control 1". If an interrupt has occurred (i.e., the nIRQ pin = 0) the inter-
rupt registers must be read to achieve the minimum current consumption. Also, the ADC should not be
selected as an input to the GPIO in this mode as it will cause excess current consumption.
23.1.1.1.4. SENSOR Mode
In SENSOR mode either the Low Battery Detector, Temperature Sensor, or both may be enabled in addi-
tion to the LPLDO and Wake-Up-Timer. The Low Battery Detector can be enabled by setting enlbd = 1 in
"Register 07h. Operating Mode and Function Control 1". See “Temperature Sensor” on page 282 and “Low
Battery Detector” on page 284 for more information on these features. If an interrupt has occurred (i.e.,
the nIRQ pin = 0) the interrupt registers must be read to achieve the minimum current consumption.
23.1.1.1.5. READY Mode
READY Mode is designed to give a fast transition time to TX mode with reasonable current consumption.
In this mode the Crystal oscillator remains enabled reducing the time required to switch to TX or RX mode
by eliminating the crystal start-up time. READY mode is entered by setting xton = 1 in "Register 07h. Oper-
ating Mode and Function Control 1". To achieve the lowest current consumption state the crystal oscillator
buffer should be disabled in “Register 62h. Crystal Oscillator Control and Test.” To exit READY mode,
bufovr (bit 1) of this register must be set back to 0.
23.1.1.1.6. TUNE Mode
In TUNE mode the PLL remains enabled in addition to the other blocks enabled in the IDLE modes. This
will give the fastest response to TX mode as the PLL will remain locked but it results in the highest current
consumption. This mode of operation is designed for frequency hopping spread spectrum systems
(FHSS). TUNE mode is entered by setting pllon = 1 in "Register 07h. Operating Mode and Function Con-
trol 1". It is not necessary to set xton to 1 for this mode, the internal state machine automatically enables
the crystal oscillator.
