1.5 Description

www.ti.com
The CC11x1-Q1 device family is designed for very low-power wireless applications. The circuits are mainly intended for the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) and Short Range Device (SRD) frequency bands at 315 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 MHz, and 915 MHz, but can easily be programmed for operation at other frequencies in the 310-MHz to 348-MHz, 420-MHz to 450-MHz, and 779-MHz to 928-MHz bands.
The devices integrate a highly configurable baseband modem. The modem supports various modulation formats and has a configurable data rate up to 250 kBaud. CC11x1-Q1 family provides extensive hardware support for packet handling, data buffering, burst transmissions, clear channel assessment, link quality indication, and wake-on-radio. The main operating parameters and the 64-byte transmit/receive FIFOs can be controlled via an SPI interface. In a typical system, the devices are used together with a microcontroller and a few additional passive components.

3.2 Block Diagram

A simplified block diagram of CC11x1-Q1 is shown in Figure 3-1. The CC11x1-Q1 devices feature a low intermediate frequency (IF) receiver. The received radio frequency (RF) signal is amplified by the low-noise amplifier (LNA) and down-converted in a quadrature (I and Q) to the IF. At IF, the I/Q signals are digitized by the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Automatic gain control (AGC), fine channel filtering, and demodulation bit/packet synchronization is performed digitally.
The transmitter part of CC11x1-Q1 is based on direct synthesis of the RF frequency. The frequency synthesizer includes a completely on-chip LC voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a 90° phase shifter for generating the I and Q signals, and it is also used for the down-conversion mixers in receive mode. A crystal must be connected to XOSC_Q1 and XOSC_Q2. The crystal oscillator generates the reference frequency for the synthesizer as well as the clocks for the ADC and the digital part.
A 4-wire SPI serial interface is used for the register configuration and data buffer access. The digital base band modem includes support for channel configuration, packet handling, Forward Error Correction and data buffering.
In the CC1131-Q1 devices, the TX path is not available. In the CC1151-Q1 devices, the RX path is not available.

3.3 Application Circuit

Only a few external components are required for using the CC11x1-Q1. The recommended application circuits are shown in Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3. Typical values for the external components are given in
Table 3-2.
Bias Resistor
The bias resistor R171 is used to set an accurate bias current.
Balun and RF Matching
The components between the RF_N/RF_P pins and the point where the two signals are joined together (C131, C122, L121, and L131 for the 315/433-MHz reference design [5], or L101, L111, C111, L121, C131, C122, and L131 for the 868/915-MHz reference design [6]) form a balun that converts the differential RF signal on CC11x1-Q1 to a single-ended RF signal. C125 is needed for dc blocking. Together with an appropriate LC network, the balun components also transform the impedance to match a 50-antenna or cable. Suggested values for 315 MHz, 433 MHz, and 868/915 MHz are listed in
Table 3-2.
Crystal
The reference oscillator uses an external 26-MHz or 27-MHz crystal with two loading capacitors (C81 and C101). See Section 3.22 for details.
Additional Filtering
www.ti.com
Additional external components (e.g., an RF SAW filter) may be used to improve the performance in specific applications.
Power Supply Decoupling
The power supply must be properly decoupled close to the supply pins. A short and proper GND connection is also essential for the functionality of the device.

3.5 Configuration Software

CC11x1-Q1 can be configured using the SmartRF®Studio software. The SmartRF Studio software is highly recommended for obtaining optimum register settings and for evaluating performance and functionality. A screenshot of the SmartRF Studio user interface for CC11x1-Q1 is shown in Figure 3-5.
After chip reset, all the registers have default values as shown in Section 4. The optimum register setting might differ from the default value. Therefore, after a reset, all registers that are different from the default value need to be programmed through the SPI interface. For the CC11x1-Q1 device, the settings of the CC1101 are valid.

3.6 4-Wire Serial Configuration and Data Interface

CC11x1-Q1 is configured via a simple 4-wire SPI-compatible interface (SI, SO, SCLK, and CS) where CC11x1-Q1 is the slave. This interface is also used to read and write buffered data. All transfers on the SPI interface are done most significant bit first.
All transactions on the SPI interface start with a header byte containing a R/W bit, a burst access bit (B), and a 6-bit address (A5to A0).
The CS pin must be kept low during transfers on the SPI bus. If CS goes high during the transfer of a header byte or during read/write from/to a register, the transfer is canceled. The timing for the address and data transfer on the SPI interface is shown in Figure 3-6 with reference to Section 2.15.
When CS is pulled low, the MCU must wait until CC11x1-Q1 SO pin goes low before starting to transfer the header byte. This indicates that the crystal is running. Unless the chip was in the SLEEP or XOFF states, the SO pin goes low immediately after taking CS low.

3.6.1 Chip Status Byte

When the header byte, data byte, or command strobe is sent on the SPI interface, the chip status byte is sent by the CC11x1-Q1 on the SO pin. The status byte contains key status signals, useful for the MCU. The first bit, s7, is the CHIP_RDYn signal. This signal must go low before the first positive edge of SCLK. The CHIP_RDYn signal indicates that the crystal is running.
SWRS076B–11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009–REVISED APRIL 2010
The STATE value comprises bits 6, 5, and 4. This value reflects the state of the chip. The XOSC and power to the digital core is on in the IDLE state, but all other modules are in power down. The frequency and channel configuration should be updated only when the chip is in this state. The RX state is active when the chip is in receive mode. Likewise, TX is active when the chip is transmitting.
The last four bits (3:0) in the status byte contain FIFO_BYTES_AVAILABLE. For read operations (the R/W bit in the header byte is set to 1), the FIFO_BYTES_AVAILABLE field contains the number of bytes available for reading from the RX FIFO. For write operations (the R/W bit in the header byte is set to 0), the FIFO_BYTES_AVAILABLE field contains the number of bytes that can be written to the TX FIFO. When FIFO_BYTES_AVAILABLE = 15, 15 or more bytes are available/free.
Table 3-3 gives a status byte summary.

3.6.2 Register Access

The configuration registers on the CC11x1-Q1 are located on SPI addresses from 0x00 to 0x2E. Table 4-2 lists all configuration registers. SmartRF Studio should be used to generate optimum register settings. The detailed description of each register is found in Section 4.2. All configuration registers can be both written to and read. The R/W bit controls if the register should be written to or read. When writing to registers, the status byte is sent on the SO pin each time a header byte or data byte is transmitted on the SI pin. When reading from registers, the status byte is sent on the SO pin each time a header byte is transmitted on the SI pin.
Registers with consecutive addresses can be accessed efficiently by setting the burst bit (B) in the header byte. The address bits (A5 to A0) set the start address in an internal address counter. This counter is incremented by one each new byte (every 8 clock pulses). The burst access is either a read or a write access and must be terminated by setting CS high.
For register addresses in the range 0x30 to 0x3D, the burst bit is used to select between status registers, burst bit is one, and command strobes, burst bit is zero (see 10.4 below). Because of this, burst access is not available for status registers and they must be accessed one at a time. The status registers can only be read.

3.6.3 SPI Read

When reading register fields over the SPI interface while the register fields are updated by the radio hardware (e.g., MARCSTATE or TXBYTES), there is a small, but finite, probability that a single read from the register is being corrupt. As an example, the probability of any single read from TXBYTES being corrupt, assuming the maximum data rate is used, is approximately 80 ppm. See the CC1101 errata notes (SWRZ020) for more details.
www.ti.com

3.6.4 Command Strobes

Command strobes may be viewed as single byte instructions to CC11x1-Q1. By addressing a command strobe register, internal sequences are started. These commands are used to disable the crystal oscillator, enable receive mode, enable wake-on-radio etc. The 13 command strobes are listed in Table 4-1.
The command strobe registers are accessed by transferring a single header byte (no data is being transferred). That is, only the R/W bit, the burst access bit (set to 0), and the six address bits (in the range 0x30 through 0x3D) are written. The R/W bit can be either one or zero and determines how the FIFO_BYTES_AVAILABLE field in the status byte should be interpreted.
When writing command strobes, the status byte is sent on the SO pin. A command strobe may be followed by any other SPI access without pulling CS high. However, if an
SRES strobe is being issued, wait for SO to go low again before the next header byte is issued, as shown in Figure 3-7. The command strobes are executed immediately, with the exception of the SPWD and the SXOFF strobes that are executed when CS goes high.

3.6.5 FIFO Access

Figure 3-7. SRES Command Strobe
The 64-byte TX FIFO and the 64-byte RX FIFO are accessed through the 0x3F address. When the R/W bit is zero, the TX FIFO is accessed, and the RX FIFO is accessed when the R/W bit is one.
The TX FIFO is write-only, while the RX FIFO is read-only.

CC11x1-Q1
www.ti.com
The burst bit is used to determine if the FIFO access is a single byte access or a burst access. The single byte access method expects a header byte with the burst bit set to zero and one data byte. After the data byte a new header byte is expected; hence, CS can remain low. The burst access method expects one header byte and then consecutive data bytes until terminating the access by setting CS high.
The following header bytes access the FIFOs:
0x3F: Single byte access to TX FIFO
0x7F: Burst access to TX FIFO
0xBF: Single byte access to RX FIFO
0xFF: Burst access to RX FIFO When writing to the TX FIFO, the status byte (see Section 3.6.1) is output for each new data byte on SO,
as shown in Figure 3-6. This status byte can be used to detect TX FIFO underflow while writing data to the TX FIFO. Note that the status byte contains the number of bytes free before writing the byte in progress to the TX FIFO. When the last byte that fits in the TX FIFO is transmitted on SI, the status byte received concurrently on SO indicates that one byte is free in the TX FIFO.
The TX FIFO may be flushed by issuing a SFTX command strobe. Similarly, a SFRX command strobe flushes the RX FIFO. A SFTX or SFRX command strobe can only be issued in the IDLE, TXFIFO_UNDERFLOW, or RXFIFO_OVERFLOW states. Both FIFOs are flushed when going to the SLEEP state.
Figure 3-8 gives a brief overview of different register access types possible.
SWRS076B–11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009–REVISED APRIL 2010
Figure 3-8. Register Access Types

3.6.6 PATABLE Access

The 0x3E address is used to access the PATABLE, which is used for selecting PA power control settings. The SPI expects up to eight data bytes after receiving the address. By programming the PATABLE, controlled PA power ramp-up and ramp-down can be achieved, as well as ASK modulation shaping for reduced bandwidth. See SmartRF Studio for recommended shaping / PA ramping sequences.
See Section 3.20 for details on output power programming. The PATABLE is an 8-byte table that defines the PA control settings to use for each of the eight PA power
values (selected by the 3-bit value FREND0.PA_POWER). The table is written and read from the lowest setting (0) to the highest (7), one byte at a time. An index counter is used to control the access to the table. This counter is incremented each time a byte is read or written to the table, and set to the lowest index when CS is high. When the highest value is reached the counter restarts at zero.
The access to the PATABLE is either single byte or burst access depending on the burst bit. When using burst access the index counter counts up; when reaching 7 the counter restarts at 0. The R/W bit controls whether the access is a read or a write access.
If one byte is written to the PATABLE and this value is to be read out then CS must be set high before the read access to set the index counter back to zero.
Note that the content of the PATABLE is lost when entering the SLEEP state, except for the first byte (index 0).

CC11x1-Q1
SWRS076B–11-07-22-013 - APRIL 2009–REVISED APRIL 2010

3.7 Microcontroller Interface and Pin Configuration

In a typical system, CC11x1-Q1 interfaces to a microcontroller. This microcontroller must be able to:
Program CC11x1-Q1 into different modes
Read and write buffered data
Read back status information via the 4-wire SPI-bus configuration interface (SI, SO, SCLK and CS).

3.7.1 Configuration Interface

The microcontroller uses four I/O pins for the SPI configuration interface (SI, SO, SCLK and CS). The SPI is described in Section 3.6.

3.7.2 General Control and Status Pins

The CC11x1-Q1 has two dedicated configurable pins (GDO0 and GDO2) and one shared pin (GDO1) that can output internal status information useful for control software. These pins can be used to generate interrupts on the MCU. See Section 3.25 for more details on the signals that can be programmed. GDO1 is shared with the SO pin in the SPI interface. The default setting for GDO1/SO is 3-state output. By selecting any other of the programming options, the GDO1/SO pin becomes a generic pin. When CS is low, the pin functions as a normal SO pin.
In the synchronous and asynchronous serial modes, the GDO0 pin is used as a serial TX data input pin while in transmit mode.
The GDO0 pin can also be used for an on-chip analog temperature sensor. By measuring the voltage on the GDO0 pin with an external ADC, the temperature can be calculated. Specifications for the temperature sensor are found in Section 2.12.

With default PTEST register setting (0x7F) the temperature sensor output is available only when the frequency synthesizer is enabled (e.g., the MANCAL, FSTXON, RX, and TX states). It is necessary to write 0xBF to the PTEST register to use the analog temperature sensor in the IDLE state. Before leaving the IDLE state, the PTEST register should be restored to its default value (0x7F).

3.7.3 Optional Radio-Control Feature

The CC11x1-Q1 has an optional way of controlling the radio by reusing SI, SCLK, and CS from the SPI interface. This allows simple three-pin control of the major states of the radio: SLEEP, IDLE, RX, and TX.
This optional functionality is enabled with the MCSM0.PIN_CTRL_EN configuration bit. State changes are commanded as follows: When CS is high, the SI and SCLK is set to the desired state
according to Table 3-4. When CS goes low, the state of SI and SCLK is latched and a command strobe is generated internally according to the pin configuration. It is only possible to change state with this functionality. That means that, for instance, RX is not restarted if SI and SCLK are set to RX and CS toggles. When CS is low, the SI and SCLK has normal SPI functionality.
All pin control command strobes are executed immediately, except the SPWD strobe, which is delayed until CS goes high.

3.8 Data Rate Programming

The data rate used when transmitting, or the data rate expected in receive is programmed by the MDMCFG3.DRATE_M and the MDMCFG4.DRATE_E configuration registers. The data rate is given by the formula below. As the formula shows, the programmed data rate depends on the crystal frequency.
The following approach can be used to find suitable values for a given data rate:
If DRATE_M is rounded to the nearest integer and becomes 256, increment DRATE_E and use DRATE_M = 0.
The data rate can be set from 1.2 kBaud to 500 kBaud with the minimum step size shown in Table 3-5.

3.9 Receiver Channel Filter Bandwidth

To meet different channel width requirements, the receiver channel filter is programmable. The MDMCFG4.CHANBW_E and MDMCFG4.CHANBW_M configuration registers control the receiver channel filter bandwidth, which scales with the crystal oscillator frequency. Equation 3 gives the relation between the register settings and the channel filter bandwidth:
The CC11x1-Q1 supports the channel filter bandwidths shown in Table 3-6.
