Transmit Register
The Transmit Register holds the 8 bits to be transmitted. Bit [7] of the Configuration Register must be set
(logic ‘1’) in order to use this. If Bit [7] is not set, use pin 6 to manually modulate the data.
The initial value on power-up of the register is AAh. This can be used to send a preamble signal by
setting Bit [5] of the Power Management Register (See Figure 5 below). When this bit is set, transmission
begins immediately and the initial value AAh is sent. The SDO pin(4) may be monitored to see when the
next byte of data may be written to the register (SDO is logic ‘1’). It is recommended that the register be
preloaded with a preamble regardless of the POR value.
Bit [15..8] - Command Code: These bits are the command code that is sent serially to the processor that
identifies the bits to be written to the Transmit Register.
Bit [7..0] – Transmit Byte: The data byte to be sent is written here. As soon as the power amplifier is
enabled the data byte is sent. The SDO pin(4) may be monitored to determine when the byte has been
sent.
Sequential Byte Write Method (Recommended)
The transmit register may be continuously accessed by holding the nCS pin (3) ‘Low’ for the duration of
the data stream. On the first falling edge of nCS the register command should be issued as normal.
Sequential byte writes to the register afterwards will load the transmit register directly without having to re-
issue the command byte. The SDO pin (4) may be used as a “Transmit Register Empty” flag to write the
next byte.
