The Status Register provides feedback for:
• FIFO ready/full/empty/under run/overwrite
• POR
• Interrupt state
• Low Battery
• Good Data Quality
• Digital RSSI signal level
• Clock Recovery
• Frequency Offset value and sign
• AFA
Note: The Status Register read command begins with a logic ‘0’ where all other register commands begin
with a logic ‘1’.
Bit [15]:FIFTXRX – When set, indicates the transmit register is ready to receive the next byte for
transmission (Transmit Mode) or that the Rx FIFO has reached the
preprogrammed limit (Receive Mode). This bit is multiplexed and dependent on
whether you are in the respective Transmit or Receive mode. (Cleared when FIFO
read).
Bit [14]:POR – When set, Power-on Reset occurred. (Cleared after Status Reg read).
Bit [13]:FIFOV/UR – When set, indicates transmit register under run or register overwrite (Transmit
Mode) or receive FIFO overflow (Receive Mode). (Cleared after Status Reg read).
Bit [12]:WKINT – When set, indicates a Wake-up timer overflow. (Cleared after Status Reg read).
Bit [11]:INTRST – When set, indicates a High to Low logic level change on interrupt pin (pin 16).
(Cleared after Status Reg read).
Bit [10]:LB – When set, indicates the supply voltage is below the preprogrammed limit. See Battery
Detect Threshold and Clock Output Register.
Bit [9]:FIFEMP – When set, indicates receive FIFO is empty.
Bit [8]:RSSI(Rx) – When set and chip in receive mode, this bit indicates that the incoming RF signal is
above the preprogrammed Digital RSSI limit.
AT(TX) – When in transmit mode this bit indicates that the antenna tuning circuit has detected a
strong enough RF signal.
Bit [7]:GDQD – When set, indicates good data quality.
Bit [6]:CRLCK – When set, indicates Clock Recovery is locked.
Bit [5]:AFATGL – For each AFC cycle run, this bit will toggle between logic ‘1’ and logic ‘0’.
Bit [4]:OFFSGN – Indicates the difference in frequency is higher (logic ‘1’) or lower (logic ‘0’) than the
chip frequency.
Bit [3..0]:OFF[3..0] – The offset value to be added to the frequency control word (internal PLL).
