9 Circuit Description
Figure 5: CC2430 Block Diagram A block diagram of CC2430 is shown in Figure 5. The modules can be roughly divided into one of three categories: CPU-related modules, radio-related modules and modules related to power, test and clock distribution. In the following subsections, a short description of each module that appears in Figure 5 is given.

9.1 CPU and Peripherals
The 8051 CPU core is a single-cycle 8051- compatible core. It has three different memory access buses (SFR, DATA and CODE/XDATA), a debug interface and an 18- input extended interrupt unit. See section 12 for details on the CPU. The memory crossbar/arbitrator i s a t t h e heart of the system as it connects the CPU and DMA controller with the physical memories and all peripherals through the SFR bus. The memory arbitrator has four memory access points, access at which can map to one of three physical memories: an 8 KB SRAM, flash memory or RF and SFR registers. The memory arbitrator is responsible for performing arbitration and sequencing between simultaneous memory accesses to the same physical memory. The SFR bus is drawn conceptually in the block diagram as a common bus that connects all hardware peripherals to the memory arbitrator. The SFR bus in the block diagram also provides access to the radio registers in the radio register bank even though these are indeed mapped into XDATA memory space. The 8 KB SRAM maps to the DATA memory space and to part of the XDATA memory spaces. 4 KB of the 8 KB SRAM is an ultra- low-power SRAM that retains its contents even when the digital part is powered off (power modes 2 and 3). The rest of the SRAM loses its contents when the digital part is powered off. The 32/64/128 KB flash block provides in- circuit programmable non-volatile program memory for the device and maps into the CODE and XDATA memory spaces. Table 22 shows the available devices in the CC2430 family. The available devices differ only in flash memory size. Writing to the flash block is performed through a flash controller that allows page-wise (2048 byte) erasure and byte-wise reprogramming. See section 13.14 for details on the flash controller. A versatile five-channel DMA controller is available in the system and accesses memory using a unified memory space (XDATA) and thus has access to all physical memories. Each channel is configured (trigger, priority, transfer mode, addressing mode, source and destination pointers, and transfer count) with DMA descriptors anywhere in memory. Many of the hardware peripherals rely on the DMA controller for efficient operation (AES core, flash write controller, USARTs, Timers, ADC interface) by performing data transfers between a single SFR address and flash/SRAM. See section 13.2 for details. The interrupt controller services a total of 18 interrupt sources, divided into six interrupt groups, each of which is associated with one of four interrupt priorities. An interrupt request is serviced even if the device is in a sleep mode (power modes 1-3) by bringing the CC2430 back to active mode (power mode 0). The debug interface implements a proprietary two-wire serial interface that is used for in- circuit debugging. Through this debug interface it is possible to perform an erasure of the entire flash memory, control which oscillators are enabled, stop and start execution of the user program, execute supplied instructions on the 8051 core, set code breakpoints, and single step through instructions in the code. Using these techniques it is possible to elegantly perform in-circuit debugging and external flash programming. See section 12.9 for details. The I/O-controller is responsible for all general-purpose I/O pins. The CPU can configure whether peripheral modules control certain pins or whether they are under software control, and if so whether each pin is configured as an input or output and if a pull- up or pull-down resistor in the pad is connected. Each peripheral that connects to the I/O-pins can choose between two different I/O pin locations to ensure flexibility in various applications. See section 13.1 for details. The sleep timer is an ultra-low power timer that counts 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator or 32.768 kHz RC oscillator periods. The sleep timer runs continuously in all operating modes except power mode 3. Typical uses for it is as a real-time counter that runs regardless of operating mode (except power mode 3) or as a wakeup timer to get out of power mode 1 or 2. See section 13.5 for details. A built-in watchdog timer allows the CC2430 to reset itself in case the firmware hangs. When enabled by software, the watchdog timer must be cleared periodically, otherwise it will reset the device when it times out. See section 13.12 for details. Timer 1 is a 16-bit timer with timer/counter/PWM functionality. It has a programmable prescaler, a 16-bit period value
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 27 of 232 and three individually programmable counter/capture channels each with a 16-bit compare value. Each of the counter/capture channels can be used as PWM outputs or to capture the timing of edges on input signals. See section 13.3 for details. Timer 2 (MAC timer) is specially designed for supporting an IEEE 802.15.4 MAC or other time-slotted protocols in software. The timer has a configurable timer period and an 8-bit overflow counter that can be used to keep track of the number of periods that have transpired. There is also a 16-bit capture register used to record the exact time at which a start of frame delimiter is received/transmitted or the exact time of which transmission ends, as well as a 16-bit output compare register that can produce various command strobes (start RX, start TX, etc) at specific times to the radio modules. See section 13.4 for details. Timers 3 and 4 are 8-bit timers with timer/counter/PWM functionality. They have a programmable prescaler, an 8-bit period value and one programmable counter/capture channel with a 8-bit compare value. Each of the counter/capture channels can be used as PWM outputs or to capture the timing of edges on input signals. See section 13.6 for details. USART 0 and 1 are each configurable as either an SPI master/slave or a UART. They provide double buffering on both RX and TX and hardware flow-control and are thus well suited to high-throughput full-duplex applications. Each has its own high-precision baud-rate generator thus leaving the ordinary timers free for other uses. When configured as an SPI slave they sample the input signal using SCK directly instead of some over- sampling scheme and are thus well-suited to high data rates. See section 13.13 for details. The AES encryption/decryption core allows the user to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES algorithm with 128-bit keys. The core is able to support the AES operations required by IEEE 802.15.4 MAC security, the ZigBee™ network layer and the application layer. See section 13.9 for details. The ADC supports 8 to 14 bits of resolution in a 30 kHz to 4 kHz bandwidth respectively. DC and audio conversion with up to 8 input channels (Port 0) is possible. The inputs can be selected as single ended or differential. The reference voltage can be internal, AVDD, or a single ended or differential external signal. The ADC also has a temperature sensor input channel. The ADC can automate the process of periodic sampling or conversion over a sequence of channels. See Section 13.7 for details.
9.2 Radio
CC2430 features an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio based on the leading CC2420 transceiver. See Section 14 for details. Device Flash CC2430-F32 32 KB CC2430-F64 64 KB CC2430-F128 128 KB Table 22: CC2430 Flash Memory Options

10 Power Management
The CC2430 has four major power modes, called PM0, PM1, PM2 and PM3. PM0 is the active mode while PM3 has the lowest power consumption. The power modes are shown in Table 23 together with voltage regulator and oscillator options.

Neithe r the 32 MHz XOSC nor the HS-RCOSC are running. Either the 32.768 kHz RCOSC or the 32.768 kHz XOSC is running. The system will go to PM0 on reset or an external interrupt or when the sleep timer expires. PM3 : The voltage regulator to the digital core is turned off. None of the oscillators are running. The system will go to PM0 on reset or an external interrupt. Refer to section 13.10 on page 140 for a detailed description of power management.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 29 of 232 Few external components are required for the operation of CC2430. A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 6. Typical values and description of external components are shown in Table 24
11.1 Input / output matching
The RF input/output is high impedance and differential. The optimum differential load for the RF port is 115+j180 Ω. When using an unbalanced antenna such as a monopole, a balun should be used in order to optimize performance. The balun can be implemented using low-cost discrete inductors and capacitors. The recommended balun shown, consists of C341, L341, L321 and L331 together with a PCB microstrip transmission line ( λ/2-dipole), and will match the RF input/output to 50 Ω. An internal T/R switch circuit is used to switch between the LNA and the PA. See Input/output matching section on page 184 for more details. If a balanced antenna such as a folded dipole is used, the balun can be omitted. If the antenna also provides a DC path from TXRX_SWITCH pin to the RF pins, inductors are not needed for DC bias. Figure 6 shows a suggested application circuit using a differential antenna. The antenna type is a standard folded dipole. The dipole has a virtual ground point; hence bias is provided without degradation in antenna performance. Also refer to the section Antenna Considerations on page 189.
11.2 Bias resistors
The bias resistors are R221 and R261. The bias resistor R221 is used to set an accurate bias current for the 32 MHz crystal oscillator.
11.3 Crystal
An external 32 MHz crystal, XTAL1, with two loading capacitors (C191 and C211) is used for the 32 MHz crystal oscillator. See page 16 for details. XTAL2 is an optional 32.768 kHz crystal. Mesh networks can be implemented without the 32.768 kHz crystal.
11.4 Voltage regulators
The on chip voltage regulators supply all 1.8 V power supply pins and internal power supplies. C241 and C421 are required for stability of the regulators. A series resistor may be used to comply with the ESR requirement.
11.5 Power supply decoupling and
Proper power supply decoupling must be used for optimum performance. The placement and size of the decoupling capacitors and the power supply filtering ar e very important to achieve the best performance in an application. Chipcon provides a compact reference design that should be followed very closely. Refer to the section PCB Layout Recommendation on page 188.

CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 32 of 232 12 8051 CPU This section describes the 8051 CPU core, with interrupts, memory and instruction set. 12.1 8051 CPU Introduction The CC2430 includes an 8-bit CPU core which is an enhanced version of the industry standard 8051 core. The enhanced 8051 core uses the standard 8051 instruction set. Instructions execute faster than the standard 8051 due to the following:
- One clock per instruction cycle is used as opposed to 12 clocks per instruction cycle in the standard 8051.
- Wasted bus states are eliminated. Since an instruction cycle is aligned with memory fetch when possible, most of the single byte instructions are performed in a single clock cycle. In addition to the speed improvement, the enhanced 8051 core also includes architectural enhancements:
- A second data pointer.
- Extended 18-source interrupt unit The 8051 core is object code compatible with the industry standard 8051 microcontroller. That is, object code compiled with an industry standard 8051 compiler or assembler executes on the 8051 core and is functionally equivalent. However, because the 8051 core uses a different instruction timing than many other 8051 variants, existing code with timing loops may require modification. Also because the peripheral units such as timers and serial ports differ from those on a other 8051 cores, code which includes instructions using the peripheral units SFRs will not work correctly.
12.2 Reset
CC2430 has three reset sources. The following events generate a reset:
- Forcing RESET_N input pin low
- A power-on reset condition
- Watchdog timer reset condition The initial conditions after a reset are as follows:
- I/O pins are configured as inputs with pull-up
- CPU program counter is loaded with 0x0000 and program execution starts at this address
- All peripheral registers are initialized to their reset values (refer to register descriptions)
- Watchdog timer is disabled
12.3 Memory
The 8051 CPU has four different memory spaces: CODE. A 16-bit read-only memory space for program memory. DATA. An 8-bit read/write data memory space, which can be directly or indirectly accessed by a single CPU instruction. The lower 128 bytes of the DATA memory space can be addressed either directly or indirectly, the upper 128 bytes only indirectly. XDATA. A 16-bit read/write data memory space access to which usually requires 4-5 CPU instruction cycles. Access to XDATA memory is also slower in hardware than DATA access as the CODE and XDATA memory spaces share a common bus on the CPU core and instruction pre-fetch from CODE can thus not be performed in parallel with XDATA accesses. SFR. A 7-bit read/write register memory space which can be directly accessed by a single CPU instruction. For SFR registers whose address is divisible by eight, each bit is also individually addressable. The four different memory spaces are distinct in the 8051 architecture, but are partly overlapping in the CC2430 t o e a s e D M A transfers and hardware debugger operation. How the different memory spaces are mapped onto the three physical memories (flash program memory, 8 KB SRAM and hardware registers) is described in sections 12.3.1 and 12.3.2.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 33 of 232
12.3.1 Memory Map
This section gives an overview of the memory map. The memory map differs from the standard 8051 memory map in two important aspects, as described below. First, in order to allow the DMA controller access to all physical memory and thus allow DMA transfers between the different 8051 memory spaces, parts of SFR and CODE memory space is mapped into the XDATA memory space. Secondly, the CODE memory space mapping can be selected so that all physical memory is mapped to CODE space, by using a unified mapping of the CODE memory space. Details about mapping of all 8051 memory spaces are given in the next section. The memory map showing how the different physical memories are mapped into the CPU memory spaces is given in the figures on the following pages for each flash memory size option. Note that for CODE memory space, the two possible memory maps are shown; unified and non-unified mapping.

12.3.2 Memory Space
This section describes the details of each CPU memory space. XDATA memory space. The XDATA memory map is given for each flash memory option in Figure 7, Figure 10 and Figure 13. For the devices with flash size above 32 KB, the lower
55 KB of the flash program memory is mapped
into the address range 0x0000-0xDEFF. For the 32 KB flash size option, the 32 KB flash memory is mapped to 0x0000-0x7FFF in XDATA memory space. Access to unimplemented areas shown as shaded in the memory map gives an undefined result. For all devices, the 8 KB SRAM is mapped into address range 0xE000-0xFFFF, and the SFR registers into address range 0xDF80-0xDFFF. This allows the DMA controller and the CPU access to all the physical memories in a single unified address space. One of the ramifications of this mapping is that the first address of usable SRAM starts at address 0xE000 instead of 0x0000, and therefore compilers/assemblers must take this into consideration. In low-power modes PM2-3, with the lowest power consumption, the upper 4 KB of SRAM i.e. the memory locations in XDATA address range 0xF000-0xFFFF will retain their contents. Refer to section 13.10 on page 140 for a detailed description of power modes and SRAM data retention. CODE memory space . The CODE memory space uses either a unified or non-unified mapping to the physical memories as shown in Figure 8 - Figure 9, Figure 11 - Figure 12 and Figure 14- Figure 15. The unified mapping of the CODE memory space is similar to the XDATA mapping. Note that there is the exception that SFR regi sters internal to the CPU can not be accessed (see section 12.4 on page 43). With flash memory sizes above 32 KB, the lower 55 KB of flash memory is mapped to CODE memory space when unified mapping is used. This is similar to the XDATA memory space. The 8 KB SRAM is included in the CODE address space to allow program execution out of the SRAM. Note: in order to use the unified memory mapping within CODE memory space, the SFR register bit MEMCTR.MUNIF must be 1. For devices with flash memory size of 128 KB (CC2430-F128), a memory banking scheme is used for the CODE memory space. Since the physical memory size is 128 KB, the upper 32 KB area of CODE memory space is mapped to one out of the four 32 KB physical banks of flash memory through the flash bank select bits as shown in the non-unified CODE memory map. The flash bank select bits reside in the SFR register bits MEMCTR.FMAP (see section 12.12 on page 66). When unified CODE memory space mapping is used, the CODE memory is mapped to the flash memory in a similar manner to non-unified mapping, using memory banking, however 23 KB of the selected bank is available, as shown in the memory map. Access to unimplemented areas shown as shaded in the memory map gives an undefined result. DATA memory space . The 8-bit address range of DATA memory is mapped into the upper 256 bytes of the 8 KB SRAM. This area is also accessible through the CODE and XDATA memory spaces at the address range 0xFF00-0xFFFF. SFR memory space. The 128 entry hardware register area is accessed through this memory space. The SFR registers are also accessible through the XDATA/DMA address space at the address range 0xDF80-0xDFFF. Some CPU- specific SFR registers reside inside the CPU core and can only be accessed using the SFR memory space and not through the duplicate mapping into XDATA memory space.

12.3.3 Data Pointers
The CC2430 has two data pointers, DPTR0 and DPTR1 to accelerate the movement of data blocks to/from memory. The data pointers are generally used to access CODE or XDATA space e.g. MOVC A,@A+DPTR MOV A,@DPTR. The data pointer select bit, bit 0 in the Data Pointer Select register DPS, chooses which data pointer shall be the active one during execution of an instruct ion that uses the data pointer, e.g. in one of the above instructions. The data pointers are two bytes wide consisting of the following SFRs:
- DPTR0 – DPH0:DPL0
- DPTR1 – DPH1:DPL1 DPH0 (0x83) – Data Pointer 0 High Byte Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:0 DPH0[7:0] 0 R/W Data pointer 0, high byte DPL0 (0x82) – Data Pointer 0 Low Byte Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:0 DPL0[7:0] 0 R/W Data pointer 0, low byte DPH1 (0x85) – Data Pointer 1 High Byte Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:0 DPH1[7:0] 0 R/W Data pointer 1, high byte DPL1 (0x84) – Data Pointer 1 Low Byte Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:0 DPL1[7:0] 0 R/W Data pointer 1, low byte DPS (0x92) – Data Pointer Select Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:1 - 0x00 R0 Not used 0 DPS 0 R/W Data pointer select. Selects active data pointer. 0 : DPTR0 1 : DPTR1
12.3.4 XDATA Memory Access
CC2430 provides an additional SFR register MPAGE. This register is used during instructions MOVX A,@Ri and MOVX @Ri,A. MPAGE gives the 8 most significant address bits, while the register Ri gives the 8 least significant bits. In some 8051 implementations, this type of XDATA access is performed using P2 to give the most significant address bits. Existing software may therefore have to be adapted to make use of MPAGE instead of P2.

12.4 SFR Registers
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) control several of the features of the 8051 CPU core and/or peripherals. Many of the 8051 core SFRs are identical to the standard 8051 SFRs. However, there are additional SFRs that control features that are not available in the standard 8051. The additional SFRs are used to interface with the peripheral units and RF transceiver. Table 25 shows the address to all SFRs in CC2430. The 8051 internal SFRs are shown with grey background, while the other SFRs are the SFRs specific to CC2430 . Note : all internal SFRs (shown with grey background in Table 25), can only be accessed through SFR space as these registers are not mapped into XDATA space. Table 26 lists the additional SFRs that are not standard 8051 peripheral SFRs or CPU- internal SFRs. The additional SFRs are described in the relevant sections for each peripheral function. 8 bytes

12.5 CPU Registers
This section describes the internal registers found in the CPU.
12.5.1 Registers R0-R7
The CC2430 provides four register banks of eight registers each. Th ese register banks are mapped in the DATA memory space at addresses 0x00-0x07, 0x 08-0x0F, 0x10-0x17 and 0x18-0x1F. Each register bank contains the eight 8-bit register R0-R7. The register bank to be used is selected through the Program Status Word PSW.RS[1:0].
12.5.2 Program Status Word
The Program Status Word (PSW) contains several bits that show the current state of the CPU. The Program Status Word is accessible as an SFR and it is bit-addressable. PSW is shown below and contains the Carry flag, Auxiliary Carry flag for BCD operations, Register Select bits, Overflow flag and Parity flag. Two bits in PSW are uncommitted and can be used as user-defined status flags

Set to 1 when the last arithmetic operation resulted in a carry (during addition) or borrow (during subtraction), otherwise cleared to 0 by all arithmetic operations. 6 AC 0 R/W Auxiliary carry flag for BCD operations. Set to 1 when the last arithmetic operation resulted in a carry into (during addition) or borrow from (during subtraction) the high order nibble, otherwise cleared to 0 by all arithmetic operations.
5 F0 0 R/W User-defined, bit-addressable
Register bank select bits. Selects which set of R7-R0 registers to use from four possible register banks in DATA space.
00 Bank 0, 0x00 – 0x07
01 Bank 1, 0x08 – 0x0F
10 Bank 2, 0x10 – 0x17
4:3 RS[1:0] 00 R/W
11 Bank 3, 0x18 – 0x1F
2 OV 0 R/W Overflow flag, set by arithmetic operations. Set to 1 when the last arithmetic operation resulted in a carry (addition), borrow (subtraction), or overflow (multiply or divide). Otherwise, the bit is cleared to 0 by all arithmetic operations.
1 F1 0 R/W User-defined, bit-addressable
0 P 0 R/W Parity flag, parity of accumulator set by hardware to 1 if it contains
an odd number of 1’s, otherwise it is cleared to 0
12.5.3 Accumulator
ACC is the accumulator. This is the source and destination of most arithmetic instructions, data transfers and other instructions. The mnemonic for the accumulator (in instructions involving the accumulator) refers to A instead of ACC. ACC (0xE0) – Accumulator Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:0 ACC[7:0] 0x00 R/W Accumulator
12.5.4 B Register
The B register is used as the second 8-bit argument during execution of multiply and divide instructions. When not used for these purposes it may be used as a scratch-pad register to hold temporary data. B (0xF0) – B Register Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:0 B[7:0] 0x00 R/W B register. Used in MUL/DIV instructions.

12.7 Interrupts
The CPU has 18 interrupt sources. Each source has its own request flag located in a set of Interrupt Flag SFR registers. Each interrupt requested by the corresponding flag can be individually enabled or disabled. The definitions of the interrupt sources and the interrupt vectors are given in Table 29. The interrupts are grouped into a set of priority level groups with selectable priority levels. The interrupt enable registers are described in section 12.7.1 and the interrupt priority settings are described in section 12.7.3 on page 60.
12.7.1 Interrupt Masking
Each interrupt can be individually enabled or disabled by the interrupt enable bits in the Interrupt Enable SFRs IEN0, IEN1 and IEN2. The Interrupt Enable SFRs are described below and summarized in Table 29. Note that some peripherals have several events that can generate the interrupt request associated with that peripheral. This applies to Port 0, Port 1, Port 2, DMA, Timer 1, Timer 3 , Timer 4 and Radio. These peripherals have interrupt mask bits for each internal interrupt source in the corresponding SFR registers. In order to use any of the interrupts in the CC2430 , the following steps must be taken 1. Enable global interrupt by setting the EA bit in IEN0 to 1 2. Set the corresponding individual, interrupt enable bit in the IEN0, IEN1 or IEN2 registers to 1. 3. Set individual interrupt enable bit in the peripherals SFR register, if any. 4. Begin the interrupt service routine at the corresponding vector address of that interrupt. See Table 29 for addresses.

12.7.3 Interrupt Priority
The interrupts are grouped into six interrupt priority groups and the priority for each group is set by the registers IP0 and IP1. In order to assign a higher priority to an interrupt, i.e. to its interrupt group, the corresponding bits in IP0 and IP1 must be set as shown in Table 30 on page 61. The interrupt priority groups with assigned interrupt sources are shown in Table 31. Each group is assigned one of four priority levels. While an interrupt service request is in progress, it cannot be interrupted by a lower or same level interrupt. In the case when interrupt requests of the same priority level are received simultaneously, the polling sequence shown in Table 32 is used to resolve the priority of each request.

12.8 Oscillators and clocks
The CC2430 has one internal system clock. The source for the system clock can be either a 16 MHz high-frequency RC oscillator or a 32 MHz crystal oscillator. Clock control is performed using the CLKCON SFR register described in section 13.10. The system clock also feeds all 8051 peripherals (as described in section 6). The choice of oscillator allows a trade-off between high-accuracy in the case of the crystal oscillator and low power consumption when the high-frequency RC oscillator is used. Note that operation of the RF transceiver requires that the crystal oscillator is used.
12.9 Debug Interface
CC2430 includes a debug interface that provides a two-wire interface to an on-chip debug module. The debug interface allows programming of the on-chip flash and it provides access to memory and register contents and debug features such as breakpoints, single-stepping and register modification. The debug interface uses the I/O pins P2_1 as Debug Data and P2_2 as Debug Clock during Debug mode. These I/O pins can be used as general purpose I/O only while the device is not in Debug mode. Thus the debug interface does not interfere with any peripheral I/O pins.
12.9.1 Debug Mode
Debug mode is entered by forcing two rising edge transitions on pin P2_2 (Debug Clock) while the RESET_N input is held low. While in Debug mode pin P2_1 is the Debug Data bi-directional pin and P2_2 is the Debug Clock input pin.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 63 of 232
12.9.2 Debug Communication
The debug interface uses an SPI-like two-wire interface consisting of the Debug Data (P2_1) and Debug Clock (P2_2) pins. Data is driven on the bi-directional Debug Data pin at the positive edge of Debug Clock and data is sampled on the negative edge of this clock. Debug commands are sent by an external host and consist of 1 to 4 output bytes (including command byte) from the host and an optional input byte read by the host. Figure 16 shows a timing diagram of data on the debug interface. The first byte of the debug command is a command byte and is encoded as follows:
- bits 7 to 3 : instruction code
- bits 2 : return input byte to host byte when high
- bits 1 to 0 : number of output bytes from host following instruction code byte P2_2 P2_1 command first data byte second data byte host input byte Figure 16: Debug interface timing diagram
12.9.3 Debug Commands
The debug commands are shown in Table 33. Some of the debug commands are described in further detail in the following sections.
12.9.4 Debug Lock Bit
For software code security the Debug Interface may be locked. When the Debug Lock bit , DBGLOCK, is set (see section 13.14.3) all debug commands except CHIP_ERASE, READ_STATUS and GET_CHIP_ID are disabled and will not function. The status of the Debug Lock bit can read using the READ_STATUS command (see section 12.9.6). Note that when the Debug Lock bit has been set, and before reset of the device, the Debug Lock value returned by READ_STATUS will only represent the actual Debug Lock value once either a HALT, RESUME, DEBUG_INSTR or STEP command has been attempted executed. The CHIP_ERASE command is used to clear the Debug Lock bit.
12.9.5 Debug Configuration
The commands WR_CONFIG and RD_CONFIG are used to access the debug configuration data byte. The format and description of this configuration data is shown in Table 34.
12.9.6 Debug Status
A Debug status byte is read using the READ_STATUS command. The format and description of this debug status is shown in Table 35. The READ_STATUS command is used e.g. for polling the status of flash chip erase after a CHIP_ERASE command or oscillator stable status required for debug commands HALT, RESUME, DEBUG_INSTR, STEP_REPLACE and STEP_INSTR.

12.9.7 Hardware Breakpoints
The debug command SET_HW_BRKPNT is used to set a hardware breakpoint. The CC2430 supports up to four hardware breakpoints. When a hardware breakpoint is enabled it will compare the CPU address bus with the breakpoint.. When a match occurs, the CPU is halted. When issuing the SET_HW_BRKPNT, the external host must supply three data bytes that define the hardware breakpoint. The hardware breakpoint itself consists of 18 bits while three bits are used for control purposes. The format of the three data bytes for the SET_HW_BRKPNT command is as follows. The first data byte consists of the following:
- bits 7-5 : unused
- bits 4-3 : breakpoint number; 0-3
- bit 2 : 1=enable, 0=disable
- bits 1-0 : Memory bank bits. Bits 17-16 of hardware breakpoint. The second data byte consists of bits 15-8 of the hardware breakpoint. The third data byte consists of bits 7-0 of the hardware breakpoint.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 66 of 232
12.9.8 Flash Programming
Programming of the on-chip flash is performed via the debug interface. The external host must initially send instructions using the DEBUG_INSTR debug command to perform the flash programming with the Flash Controller as described in section 13.14 on page 157.
12.10 RAM
The CC2430 contains static RAM. At power-on the contents of RAM is undefined. The RAM size is 8 KB in total. The upper 4 KB of the RAM (XDATA memory locations 0xF000-0xFFFF) retains data in all power modes (see exception below). The remaining lower 4 KB (XDATA memory locations 0xE000-0xEFFF) will loose its contents in PM2 and PM3 and contains undefined data when returning to PM0. The memory locations 0xFD58-0xFEFF consisting of 424 bytes in XDATA memory space do not retain data when PM2/3 is entered.
12.11 Flash Memory
The on-chip flash memory consists of 32768, 655536 or 131072 bytes. The flash memory is primarily intended to hold program code. The flash memory has the following features:
- Flash page erase time: 20 ms
- Flash chip (mass) erase time: 20 ms
- Flash write time (4 bytes): 20 µs
- Data retention 1:100 years
- Program/erase endurance: 1,000 cycles
1 At room temperature
The flash memory consists of the Flash Main Page which is where the CPU reads program code and data. The flash memory also contains a Flash Information Page which contains the Flash Lock Bits. The Flash Information Page and hence the Lock Bits is only accessed by first selecting this page through the Debug Interface. The Flash Controller (see section 13.14) is used to write and erase the contents of the flash memory. When the CPU reads instructions from flash memory, it fetches the next instruction through a cache. The instruction cache is provided mainly to reduce power consumption by reducing the amount of time the flash memory itself is accessed. The use of the instruction cache may be disabled with the MEMCTR.CACHDIS register bit.
12.12 Memory Arbiter
The CC2430 includes a memory arbiter which handles CPU and DMA access to all memory space. The control register MEMCTR is used to control various aspects of the memory sub-system. The MEMCTR register is described below. MEMCTR.MUNIF controls unified mapping of CODE memory space as shown in Figure 13 on page 38. Unified mapping is required when the CPU is to execute program stored in XDATA. For the 128 KB flash version (CC2430- F128), MEMCTR.FMAP1:0 controls mapping of physical banks of the 128 KB flash to the program address region 0x8000-0xFFFF in CODE memory space as shown in Figure 14 on 23.

13 Peripherals
In the following sub-sections each CC2430 peripheral is described in detail. The CC2430 has four timers. These timers all run on the tick frequency given by the Power Management Controller register CLKCON.TICKSPD.
13.1 I/O ports
The CC2430 has 21 digital input/output pins that can be configured as general purpose digital I/O or as peripheral I/O signals connected to the ADC, Timers or USART peripherals. The usage of the I/O ports is fully configurable from user software through a set of configuration registers. The I/O ports have the following key features:
- 21 digital input/output pins
- General purpose I/O or peripheral I/O
- Pull-up or pull-down capability on inputs
- External interrupt capability The external interrupt capability is available on all 21 I/O pins. Thus external devices may generate interrupts if required. The external interrupt feature can also be used to wake up from sleep modes.
13.1.1 General Purpose I/O
When used as general purpose I/O, the pins are organized as three 8-bit ports, ports 0-2, denoted P0, P1 and P2. P0 and P1 are complete 8-bit wide ports while P2 has only five usable bits. All ports are both bit- and byte addressable through the SFR registers P0, P1 and P2. Each port pin can individually be set to operate as a general purpose I/O or as a peripheral I/O. The output drive strength is 4 mA on all outputs, except for the two high-drive outputs, P1_0 and P1_1, which each have 20 mA output drive strength. To use a port as a general purpose I/O pin the pin must first be configured. The registers PxSEL where x is the port number 0-2 are used to configure each pin in a port as either a general purpose I/O pin or as a peripheral I/O signal. By default, after a reset, all digital input/output pins are configured as general- purpose I/O pins. By default all general-purpose I/O pins are configured as inputs. To change the direction of a port pin, at any time, the registers PxDIR are used to set each port pin to be either an input or an output. Thus by setting the appropriate bit within PxDIR, to 1 the corresponding pin becomes an output. When reading the port registers P0, P1 and P2, the logic values on the input pins are returned regardless of the pin configuration. This does not apply during the execution of read-modify-write instructions. The read- modify-write instructions when operating on a port registers are the following: ANL, ORL, XRL, JBC, CPL, INC, DEC, DJNZ and MOV, CLR or SETB, when the destination is an individual bit in a port register P0, P1 or P2. For these read-modify-write instructions, the value of the register, not the value on the pin, is read, modified, and written back to the port register. When used as an input, the general purpose I/O port pins can be configured to have a pull- up, pull-down or tri-state mode of operation. By default, after a reset, inputs are configured as inputs with pull-up. To deselect the pull-up or pull-down function on an input the appropriate bit within the PxINP must be set to 1. The I/O port pins P1_0 and P1_1 do not have pull- up/pull-down capability. In power modes PM2 and PM3 the I/O pins retain the I/O mode and output value (if applicable) that was set when PM2/3 was entered.
13.1.2 General Purpose I/O Interrupts
General purpose I/O pins configured as inputs can be used to generate interrupts. The interrupts can be configured to trigger on either a rising or falling edge of the external signal. Each of the P0, P1 and P2 ports have separate interrupt enable bits common for all bits within the port located in the IEN1-2 registers as follows:
- IEN1.P0IE : P0 interrupt enable
- IEN2.P1IE : P1 interrupt enable
- IEN2.P2IE : P2 interrupt enable
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 70 of 232 In addition to these common interrupt enables, the bits within each port have interrupt enables located in I/O port SFR registers. Each bit within P1 has an individual interrupt enable. In P0 the low-order nibble and the high-order nibble have their individual interrupt enables. For the P2_0 – P2_4 inputs there is a common interrupt enable. When an interrupt condition occurs on one of the general purpose I/O pins, the corresponding interrupt status flag in the P0- P2 interrupt flag registers, P0IFG , P1IFG or P2IFG will be set to 1. The interrupt status flag is set regardless of whether the pin has its interrupt enable set. When an interrupt is serviced the interrupt status flag is cleared by writing to a 0 to that flag. Note that when clearing the PxIFG interrupt status flags, only one active flag should be cleared at a time. Failure to do this may result in generation of false interrupt requests. The I/O SFR registers used for interrupts are described in section 13.1.9 on page 73. The registers are summarized below:
- P1IEN : P1 interrupt enables
- PICTL : P0/P2 interrupt enables and P0-2 edge configuration
- P0IFG : P0 interrupt flags
- P1IFG : P1 interrupt flags
- P2IFG : P2 interrupt flags
13.1.3 General Purpose I/O DMA
When used as general purpose I/O pins, the P0 and P1 ports are each associated with one DMA trigger. These DMA triggers are IOC_0 for P0 and IOC_1 for P1 as shown in Table 37 on page 92. The IOC_0 or IOC_1 DMA trigger is activated when an input transition occurs on one of the P0 or P1 pins respectively. Note input transitions on pins configured as general purpose I/O inputs only will produce the DMA trigger.
13.1.4 Peripheral I/O
This section describes how the digital input/output pins are configured as peripheral I/Os. For each peripheral unit that can interface with an external system through the digital input/output pins, a description of how peripheral I/Os are configured is given in the following sub-sections. In general, setting the appropriate PxSEL bits to 1 is required to select peripheral I/O function on a digital I/O pin. Note that peripheral units have two alternative locations for their I/O pins, refer to Table 36.

13.1.5 ADC
When using the ADC in an application, Port 0 pins must be configured as ADC inputs. Up to eight ADC inputs can be used. To configure a Port 0 pin to be used as an ADC input the corresponding bit in the ADCCFG register must be set to 1. The default values in this register select the Port 0 pins as non-ADC input i.e. digital input/outputs. The settings in the ADCCFG register override the settings in P0SEL. The ADC can be configured to use the general-purpose I/O pin P2_0 as an external trigger to start conversions. P2_0 must be configured as a general-purpose I/O in input mode, when being used for ADC external trigger. Refer to section 13.7 on page 127 for a detailed description of use of the ADC.
13.1.6 Debug interface
Ports P2_1 and P2_2 are used for debug data and clock signals, respectively. These are shown as DD (debug data) and DC (debug clock) in Table 36. When the debug interface is in use, P2DIR should select these pins as inputs. The state of P2SEL is overridden by the debug interface. Also, the direction is overridden when the chip changes the direction to supply the external host with data.

These port pins will be used by the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator when CLKCON.OSC32K is low, regardless of register settings. The port pins will be set in analog mode when CLKCON.OSC32K is low.
13.1.8 Unused I/O pins
Unused I/O pins should have a defined level and not be left floating. One way to do this is to leave the pin unconnected and configure the pin as a general purpose I/O input with pull-up resistor. This is also the state of all pins during reset. Alternatively the pin can be configured as a general purpose I/O output. In both cases the pin should not be connected directly to VDD or GND in order to avoid excessive power consumption.

13.2 DMA Controller
The CC2430 includes a direct memory access (DMA) controller, which can be used to relieve the 8051 CPU core of handling data movement operations thus achieving high overall performance with good power efficiency. The DMA controller can move data from a peripheral unit such as ADC or RF transceiver to memory with minimum CPU intervention. The DMA controller coordinates all DMA transfers, ensuring that DMA requests are prioritized appropriately relative to each other and CPU memory access. The DMA controller contains a number of programmable DMA channels for memory-memory data movement. The DMA controller controls data transfers over the entire address range in XDATA memory space. Since most of the SFR registers are mapped into the DMA memory space, these flexible DMA channels can be used to unburden the CPU in innovative ways, e.g. feed a USART with data from memory or periodically transfer samples between ADC and memory, etc. Use of the DMA can also reduce system power consumption by keeping the CPU in a low-power mode without having to wake up to move data to or from a peripheral unit. Note that section 12.4 describes which SFR registers that are not mapped into XDATA memory space. The main features of the DMA controller are as follows:
- Five independent DMA channels
- Three configurable levels of DMA channel priority
- 31 configurable transfer trigger events
- Independent control of source and destination address
- Single, block and repeated transfer modes
- Supports length field in transfer data setting variable transfer length
- Can operate in either word-size or byte-size mode
13.2.1 DMA Operation
There are five DMA channels available in the DMA controller numbered channel 0 to channel 4. Each DMA channel can move data from one place within the DMA memory space to another i.e. between XDATA locations. In order to use a DMA channel it must first be configured as described in sections 13.2.2 and 13.2.3. Figure 17 shows the DMA state diagram. Once a DMA channel has been configured it must be armed before any transfers are allowed to be initiated. A DMA channel is armed by setting the appropriate bit in the DMA Channel Arm register DMAARM. When a DMA channel is armed a transfer will begin when the configured DMA trigger event occurs. There are 31 possible DMA trigger events, e.g. UART transfer, Timer overflow etc. The trigger event to be used by a DMA channel is set by the DMA channel configuration. The DMA trigger events are listed in Table 37. In addition to starting a DMA transfer through the DMA trigger events, the user software may force a DMA transfer to begin by setting the corresponding DMAREQ bit.

DMAARMx=0 ABORT=1 and DMAARMx=1 ABORT=1 and DMAARMx=1 Modify source/ destination address Reached transfer count? no yes no no no yes no yes yes Load DMA Channel configuration yes Interrupt request Figure 17: DMA Operation
13.2.2 DMA Configuration Parameters
Setup and control of the DMA operation is performed by the user software. This section describes the parameters which must be configured before a DMA channel can be used. Section 13.2.3 on page 90 describes how the parameters are set up in software and passed to the DMA controller.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 88 of 232 The behavior of each of the five DMA channels is configured with the following parameters: Source address. The first address from which the DMA channel should read data. Destination address . The first address to which the DMA channel should write the data read from the source address. The user must ensure that the destination is writable. Transfer count . The number of transfers to perform before rearming or disarming the DMA channel and alerting the CPU with an interrupt request. The length can be defined in the configuration or it can be defined as described next as VLEN setting. VLEN setting. The DMA channel is capable of variable length transfers using the first byte or word to set the transfer length. When doing this, various options regarding how to count number of bytes to transfer are available. Priority. The priority of the DMA transfers for the DMA channel in respect to the CPU and other DMA channels and access ports. Trigger event. All DMA transfers are initiated by so-called DMA trigger events. This trigger either starts a DMA block transfer or a single DMA transfer. In addition to the configured trigger, a DMA channel can always be triggered by setting its designated DMAREQ.DMAREQx flag. The DMA trigger sources are described in Table 37 on page 92. Source and Destination Increment. The source and destination addresses can be controlled to increment or decrement or not change, in order to give good flexibility for various types of transfers. Transfer mode. The transfer mode determines whether the transfer should be a single transfer or a block transfer, or repeated versions of these. Byte or word transfers. Determines whether each DMA transfer should be 8-bit (byte) or 16-bit (word). Interrupt Mask. An interrupt request is generated upon completion of the DMA transfer. The interrupt mask bit controls if the interrupt generation is enabled or disabled. M8: Decide whether to use seven or eight bits of length byte for transfer length. Only applicable when doing byte transfers. A detailed description of all configuration parameters are given in the following sections.
13.2.2.1 Source Address
The address in XDATA memory where the DMA channel shall start to read data.
13.2.2.2 Destination Address
The first address to which the DMA channel should write the data read from the source address. The user must ensure that the destination is writable.
13.2.2.3 Transfer Count
The number of bytes/words needed to be transferred for the DMA transfer to be complete. When the transfer count is reached, the DMA controller rearms or disarms the DMA channel and alerts the CPU with an interrupt request. The transfer count can be defined in the configuration or it can be defined as a variable length described in the next section.
13.2.2.4 VLEN Setting
The DMA channel is capable of using the first byte or word (for word, bits 12:0 are used) in source data as the transfer length. This allows variable length transfers. When using variable length transfer, various options regarding how to count number of bytes to transfer is given. In any case, the transfer count (LEN) setting is used as maximum transfer count. Note that the M8 bit (see page 90) is only used when byte size transfers are chosen. Options which can be set with VLEN are the following: 1. Transfer number of bytes/words commanded by first byte/word + 1 (transfers the length byte/word, and then as many bytes/words as dictated by length byte/word) 2. Transfer number of bytes/words commanded by first byte/word 3. Transfer number of bytes/words commanded by first byte/word + 2 (transfers the length byte/word, and then as many bytes/words as dictated by length byte/word + 1) 4. Transfer number of bytes/words commanded by first byte/word + 3 (transfers the length byte/word, and then as many bytes/words as dictated by length byte/word + 2) Figure 18 shows the VLEN options.

13.2.2.5 Trigger Event
Each DMA channel can be set up to sense on a single trigger. This field determines which trigger the DMA channel shall sense.
13.2.2.6 Source and Destination Increment
When the DMA channel is armed or rearmed the source and destination addresses are transferred to internal address pointers. The possibilities for address increment are :
- Increment by zero. The address pointer shall remain fixed after each transfer.
- Increment by one. The address pointer shall increment one count after each transfer.
- Increment by two. The address pointer shall increment two counts after each transfer.
- Decrement by one. The address pointer shall decrement one count after each transfer.
13.2.2.7 DMA Transfer Mode
The transfer mode determines how the DMA channel behaves when it starts transferring data. There are four transfer modes described below: Single. On a trigger a single DMA transfer occurs and the DMA channel awaits the next trigger. After the number of transfers specified by the transfer count, are completed, the CPU is notified and the DMA channel is disarmed. Block. On a trigger the number of DMA transfers specified by the transfer count is performed as quickly as possible, after which the CPU is notified and the DMA channel is disarmed. Repeated single. On a trigger a single DMA transfer occurs and the DMA channel awaits the next trigger. After the number of transfers specified by the transfer count are completed, the CPU is notified and the DMA channel is rearmed. Repeated block. On a trigger the number of DMA transfers specified by the transfer count is performed as quickly as possible, after which the CPU is notified and the DMA channel is rearmed.
13.2.2.8 DMA Priority
A DMA priority is associated with each DMA access port and is configurable for each DMA channel. The DMA priority is used to
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 90 of 232 determine the winner in the case of multiple simultaneous internal memory requests, and whether the DMA memory access should have priority or not over a simultaneous CPU memory access. In case of an internal tie, a round-robin scheme is used to ensure access for all. There are three levels of DMA priority: High. Highest internal pr iority. DMA access will always prevail over CPU access. Normal. Second highest internal priority. Guarantees that DMA ac cess prevails over CPU on at least every second try. Low. Lowest internal priority. DMA access will always defer to a CPU access.
13.2.2.9 Byte or Word transfers
Determines whether 8-bit (byte) or 16-bit (word) are done.
13.2.2.10 Interrupt mask
Upon completing a DMA transfer, the channel can generate an interrupt to the processor. This bit will mask the interrupt.
13.2.2.11 Mode 8 setting
This field determines whether to use 7 or 8 bits of length byte for transfer length. Only applicable when doing byte transfers.
13.2.3 DMA Configuration Setup
The DMA channel parameters such as address mode, transfer mode and priority described in the previous section have to be configured before a DMA channel can be armed and activated. The parameters are not configured directly through SFR registers, but instead they are written in a special DMA configuration data structure in memory. Each DMA channel in use requires its own DMA configuration data structure. The DMA configuration data structure consists of eight bytes and is described in section 13.2.6 on page 91. A DMA configuration data structure may reside at any location decided upon by the user software, and the address location is passed to the DMA controller through a set of SFRs DMAxCFGH:DMAxCFGL, Once a channel has been armed, the DMA controller will read the configuration data structure for that channel, given by the address in DMAxCFGH:DMAxCFGL. It is important to note that the method for specifying the start address for the DMA configuration data structure differs between DMA channel 0 and DMA channels 1-4 as follows: DMA0CFGH:DMA0CFGL gives the start address for DMA channel 0 configuration data structure. DMA1CFGH:DMA1CFGL gives the start address for DMA channel 1 configuration data structure followed by channel 2-4 configuration data structures. Thus the DMA controller expects the DMA configuration data structures for DMA channels 1-4 to lie in a contiguous area in memory starting at the address held in DMA1CFGH:DMA1CFGL and consisting of 32 bytes.
13.2.4 Stopping DMA Transfers
Ongoing DMA transfer or armed DMA channels will be aborted using the DMAARM register to disarm the DMA channel. One or more DMA channels are aborted by writing the following to the DMAARM register.
- Writing a 1 to DMAARM.ABORT, and at the same time,
- Select which DMA channels to abort by setting the corresponding, DMAARM.DMAARMx bits. An example of DMA channel arm and disarm is shown in Figure 19.

13.2.5 DMA Interrupts
Each DMA channel can be configured to generate an interrupt to the CPU upon completing a DMA transfer. This is accomplished with the IRQMASK bit in the channel configuration. The corresponding interrupt flag in the DMAIRQ SFR register will be set when the interrupt is generated. Regardless of the IRQMASK bit in the channel configuration, the interrupt flag will be set upon DMA channel complete. Thus software should always check (and clear) this register when rearming a channel with a changed IRQMASK setting. Failure to do so could generate an interrupt based on the stored interrupt flag.
13.2.6 DMA Configuration Data Structure
For each DMA channel, the DMA configuration data structure consists of eight bytes. The configuration data structure is described in Table 38.

CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 98 of 232 13.3 16-bit Timer, Timer1 Timer 1 is an independent 16-bit timer which supports typical timer/counter functions such as input capture, output compare and PWM functions. The timer has three independent capture/compare channels. The timer uses one I/O pin per channel. The timer is used for a wide range of control and measurement applications and the availability of up/down count mode with three channels will for example allow implementation of motor control applications. The features of Timer 1 are as follows:
- Three capture/compare channels
- Rising, falling or any edge input capture
- Set, clear or toggle output compare
- Free-running, modulo or up/down counter operation
- Clock prescaler for divide by 1, 8, 32 or 128
- Interrupt request generated on each capture/compare and terminal count
- Capture triggered by radio
- DMA trigger function 13.3.1 16-bit Timer Counter The timer consists of a 16-bit counter that increments or decrements at each active clock edge. The period of the active clock edges is defined by the register bits CLKCON.TICKSPD which sets the global division of the system clock giving a variable clock tick frequency from 0.25 MHz to 32 MHz. This is further divided in Timer 1 by the prescaler value set by T1CTL.DIV. This prescaler value can be from 1 to 128. Thus the lowest clock frequency used by Timer 1 is 1953.125 Hz and the highest is 32 MHz when the 32 MHz crystal oscillator is used as system clock source. When the 16 MHz RC oscillator is used as system clock source then the highest clock frequency used by Timer 1 is 16 MHz. The counter operates as either a free-running counter, a modulo counter or as an up/down counter for use in centre-aligned PWM. It is possible to read the 16-bit counter value through the two 8-bit SFRs; T1CNTH and T1CNTL, containing the high-order byte and low-order byte respectively. When the T1CNTL is read, the high-order byte of the counter at that instant is buffered in T1CNTH so that the high-order byte can be read from T1CNTH. Thus T1CNTL shall always be read first before reading T1CNTH. All write accesses to the T1CNTL register will reset the 16-bit counter. The counter produces an interrupt request when the terminal count value (overflow) is reached. It is possible to clear and halt the counter with T1CTL control register settings. The counter is started when a value other than 00 is written to T1CTL.MODE. If 00 is written to T1CTL.MODE the counter halts at its present value.
13.3.2 Timer 1 Operation
In general, the control register T1CTL is used to control the timer operation. The various modes of operation are described below.
13.3.3 Free-running Mode
In the free-running mode of operation the counter starts from 0x0000 and increments at each active clock edge. When the counter reaches 0xFFFF the counter is loaded with 0x0000 and continues incrementing its value as shown in Figure 20. When the terminal count value 0xFFFF is reached, the flag T1CTL.OVFIF is set. An interrupt request is generated if the corresponding interrupt mask bit TIMIF.OVFIM is set. The free-running mode can be used to generate independent time intervals and output signal frequencies.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 99 of 232 0000h FFFFh OVFL OVFL Figure 20: Free-running mode
13.3.4 Modulo Mode
When the timer operates in modulo mode the 16-bit counter starts at 0x0000 and increments at each active clock edge. When the counter reaches the terminal count value held in registers T1CC0H:T1CC0L, the counter is reset to 0x0000 and continues to increment. The flag T1CTL.OVFIF is set when the terminal count value is reached. An interrupt request is generated if the corresponding interrupt mask bit TIMIF.OVFIM is set. The modulo mode can be used for applications where a period other then 0xFFFF is required. The counter operation is shown in Figure 21. 0000h T1CC0 OVFL OVFL Figure 21: Modulo mode
13.3.5 Up/down Mode
In the up/down timer mode, the counter repeatedly starts from 0x0000 and counts up until the value held in T1CC0H:T1CC0L is reached and then the counter counts down until 0x0000 is reached as shown in Figure 22. This timer mode is used when symmetrical output pulses are required with a period other than 0xFFFF, and therefore allows implementation of centre-aligned PWM output applications. The flag T1CTL.OVFIF is not set when the terminal count value is reached in the up/down mode. Clearing the counter by writing to T1CNTL will also reset the count direction to the count up from 0x0000 mode.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 100 of 232 0000h T1CC0 OVFL OVFL Figure 22 : Up/down mode
13.3.6 Channel Mode Control
The channel mode is set with each channel’s control and status register T1CCTLn. The settings include input capture and output compare modes.
13.3.7 Input Capture Mode
When a channel is configured as an input capture channel, the I/O pin associated with that channel, is configured as an input. After the timer has been started, a rising edge, falling edge or any edge on the input pin will trigger a capture of the 16-bit counter contents into the associated capture register. Thus the timer is able to capture the time when an external event takes place. Note: before an I/O pin can be used by the timer, the required I/O pin must be configured as a Timer 1 peripheral pin as described in section 13.1.3 on page 70 . The channel input pin is synchronized to the internal system clock. Thus pulses on the input pin must have a minimum duration greater than the system clock period. The contents of the 16-bit capture register is read out from registers T1CCnH:T1CCnL. When the capture takes place the interrupt flag for the channel is set. This bit is T1CTL.CH0IF for channel 0, T1CTL.CH1IF for channel 1, and T1CTL.CH2IF for channel 2. An interrupt request is generated if the corresponding interrupt mask bit on T1CCTL0.IM, T1CCTL1.IM, or T1CCTL2.IM, respectively, is set.
13.3.8 RF Event Capture
Each timer channel may be configured so that an RF interrupt event will trigger a capture instead of the normal input pin capture. This function is selected with the register bit T1CCTLx.CPSEL, which selects to use either the input pin or the RF interrupt as capture event. When RF is selected as capture input, the interrupt source(s) enabled by RFIM (see section 14.4.1 on page 166) will trigger a capture. In this way the timer can be used to capture a value when e.g. a start of frame delimiter (SFD) is detected.
13.3.9 Output Compare Mode
In output compare mode the I/O pin associated with a channel is set as an output. After the timer has been started, the contents of the counter is compared with the contents of the channel compare register T1CCnH:T1CCnL. If the compare register equals the counter contents, the output pin is set, reset or toggled according to the compare output mode setting of T1CCTLn.CMP. Note that all edges on output pins are glitch-free when operating in a given output compare mode. Writing to the compare register T1CCnL is buffered so that a value written to T1CCnL does not take effect until the corresponding high order register, T1CCnH is written. For output compare modes 1-3, a new value written to the compare register T1CCnH:T1CCnL takes effect after the registers have been written. For other output compare modes the new value written to the compare register take effect when the timer reaches 0x0000. Note that channel 0 has fewer output compare modes because T1CC0H:T1CC0L has a special function in modes 6 and 7, meaning these modes would not be useful for channel When a compare occurs, the interrupt flag for the channel is set. This bit is T1CTL.CH0IF for channel 0, T1CTL.CH1IF for channel 1,
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 101 of 232 and T1CTL.CH2IF for channel 2. An interrupt request is generated if the corresponding interrupt mask bit on T1CCTL0.IM, T1CCTL1.IM, or T1CCTL2.IM, respectively, is set. Examples of output compare modes in various timer modes are given in the following figures. Edge-aligned PWM output signals can be generated using the timer modulo mode and channels 1 and 2 in output compare mode 6 or 7 as shown in Figure 23. The period of the PWM signal is determined by the setting T1CC0 and the duty cycle for the channel output is determined by T1CCn. The timer free- running mode may also be used. In this case CLKCON.TICKSPD and the prescaler divider value T1CTL.DIV set the period of the PWM signal. The polarity of the PWM signal is determined by whether output compare mode 6 or 7 is used. PWM output signals can also be generated using output compare modes 4 and 5 as shown in the same figure, or by using modulo mode as shown in Figure 24. Using output compare mode 4 and 5 is preferred for simple PWM. Centre-aligned PWM outputs can be generated when the timer up/down mode is selected. The channel output compare mode 4 or 5 is selected depending on required polarity of the PWM signal. The period of the PWM signal is determined by T1CC0 and the duty cycle for the channel output is determined by T1CCn. The centre-aligned PWM mode is required by certain types of motor drive applications and typically less noise is produced than the edge- aligned PWM mode because the I/O pin transitions are not lined up on the same clock edge. In some types of applications, a defined delay or dead time is required between outputs. Typically this is required for outputs driving an H-bridge configuration to avoid uncontrolled cross-conduction in one side of the H-bridge. The delay or dead-time can be obtained in the PWM outputs by using T1CCn as shown in the following: Assuming that channel 1 and channel 2 are used to drive the outputs using timer up/down mode and the channels use output compare modes 4 and 5 respectively, then the timer period (in Timer 1 clock periods) is: T P = T1CC0 x 2 and the dead time, i.e. the time when both outputs are low, (in Timer 1 clock periods) is given by: TD = T1CC1 – T1CC2

13.3.10 Timer 1 Interrupts
There is one interrupt vector assigned to the timer. An interrupt request is generated when one of the following timer events occur:
- Counter reaches terminal count value.
- Input capture event.
- Output compare event The register bits T1CTL.OVFIF, T1CTL.CH0IF, T1CTL.CH1IF, and T1CTL.CH2IF contains the interrupt flags for the terminal count value event, and the three channel compare/capture events, respectively. An interrupt request is only generated when the corresponding interrupt mask bit is set. The interrupt mask bits are T1CCTL0.IM, T1CCTL1.IM, T1CCTL2.IM and TIMIF.OVFIM. If there are other pending
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 105 of 232 interrupts, the corresponding interrupt flag must be cleared by software before a new interrupt request is generated. Also, enabling an interrupt mask bit will generate a new interrupt request if the corresponding interrupt flag is set.
13.3.11 Timer 1 DMA Triggers
There are three DMA triggers associated with Timer 1. These are DMA triggers T1_CH0, T1_CH1 and T1_CH2 which are generated on timer compare events as follows:
- T1_CH0 – channel 0 compare
- T1_CH1 – channel 1 compare
- T1_CH2 – channel 2 compare

13.4 MAC Timer (Timer 2)
The MAC Timer is mainly used to provide timing for 802.15.4 CSMA-CA algorithms and for general timekeeping in the 802.15.4 MAC layer. When the MAC Timer is used together with the Sleep Timer described in section 13.5, the timing function is provided even when the system enters low-power modes. The main features of the MAC Timer are the following:
- 16-bit timer up-counter providing symbol/frame period: 16µs/320µs
- Adjustable period with accuracy 31.25 ns
- 8-bit timer compare function
- 20-bit overflow count
- 20-bit overflow count compare function
- Start of Frame Delimiter capture function.
- Timer start/stop synchronous with 32.768 kHz clock and timekeeping maintained by Sleep Timer.
- Interrupts generated on compare and overflow
- DMA trigger capability
13.4.1 Timer Operation
This section describes the operation of the timer.
13.4.1.1 General
After a reset the timer is in the timer IDLE mode where it is stopped. The timer starts running when T2CNF.RUN is set to 1. The timer will then enter the timer RUN mode. The entry is either immediate or it is performed synchronous with the 32.768 kHz clock. See section 13.4.4 for a description of the synchronous start and stop mode. Once the timer is running in RUN mode, it can be stopped by writing a 0 to T2CNF.RUN. The timer will then enter the timer IDLE mode. The stopping of the timer is performed either immediately or it is performed synchronous with the 32.768 kHz clock
13.4.1.2 Up Counter
The MAC Timer contains a 16-bit timer, which increments during each clock cycle.
13.4.1.3 Timer overflow
When the timer is about to count to a value that is equal to or greater than the timer period set by registers T2CAPHPH:T2CAPLPL, a timer overflow occurs. When the time r overflow occurs, the timer value is set to the difference between the value it is about to count to and the timer period during the next clock cycle. If the overflow interrupt mask bit T2PEROF2.PERIM is 1, an interrupt request is generated. The interrupt flag bit T2CNF.PERIF is set to 1 regardless of the interrupt mask value.
13.4.1.4 Timer delta increment
The timer period may be adjusted once during a timer period by writing a timer delta value. When a timer delta value is written to the registers T2THD:T2TLD, the 16-bit timer halts at its current value and a delta counter starts counting. The delta counter starts counting from the delta value written, down to zero. Once the delta counter reaches zero, the 16-bit timer starts counting again. The delta counter decrements by the same rate as the timer. When the delta counter has reached zero it will not start counting again until the delta value is written once again. In this way a timer period may be increased by the delta value in order to make adjustments to the timer overflow events over time.
13.4.1.5 Timer Compare
A timer compare occurs when the timer is about to count to a value that is equal or greater than the 8-bit compare value held in the T2CMP register. Note that the compare value is only 8 bits so the compare is made between the compare value and either the most significant byte or the least significant byte of the timer.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 111 of 232 The selection of which part of the timer is to be compared is set by the T2CNF.CMSEL bit. When a timer compare occurs the interrupt flag T2CNF.CMPIF is set to 1. An interrupt request is also generated if the interrupt mask T2PEROF2.CMPIM is set to 1.
13.4.1.6 Capture Input
The MAC timer has a timer capture function which captures at the time when the start of frame delimiter (SFD) status in the radio goes high. Refer to sections 14.6 and 14.9 starting on page 170 for a description of the SFD. When the capture event occurs the current timer value will be captured into the capture register. The capture value can be read from the registers T2CAPHPH:T2CAPLPL. The value of the overflow count is also captured (see section 13.4.1.7) at the time of the capture event and can be read from the registers T2PEROF2:T2PEROF1:T2PEROF0.
13.4.1.7 Overflow count
At each timer overflow, the 20-bit overflow counter is incremented by 1. The overflow counter value is read through the SFR registers T2OF2:T2OF1:T2OF0. Note that the register contents in T2OF2:T2OF1 is latched when T2OF0 is read, meaning that T2OF0 must always be read first. Overflow count update The overflow count value may be updated by writing to the registers T2OF2:T2OF1:T2OF0 when the timer is IDLE. Overflow count increment selection The increment value for the overflow counter can be set once by writing to the T2OF2:T2OF1:T2OF0 registers when the timer is in the RUN state. The value written to these registers will be added to the normal increment of 1 at the time of the next overflow count increment i.e. at the next timer overflow. The overflow count increment will return to 1 at the following increment.
13.4.1.8 Overflow count compare
A compare value may be set for the overflow counter. The compare value is set by writing to T2PEROF2:T2PEROF1:T2PEROF0. When the overflow count value is equal or greater than the set compare value an overflow compare event occurs. If the overflow compare interrupt mask bit T2PEROF2.OFCMPIM is 1, an interrupt request is generated. The interrupt flag bit T2CNF.OFCMPIF is set to 1 regardless of the interrupt mask value.
13.4.2 Interrupts
The Timer has three individually maskable interrupt sources. These are the following:
- Timer overflow
- Timer compare
- Overflow count compare The interrupt flags are given in the T2CNF registers. The interrupt flag bits are set only by hardware and may be cleared only by writing to the SFR register. Each interrupt source may be masked by the mask bits in the T2PEROF2 register. An interrupt is generated when the corresponding mask bit is set, otherwise the interrupt will not be generated. The interrupt flag bit is set, however disregarding the state of the interrupt mask bit.
13.4.3 DMA Triggers
Timer 2 can generate two DMA triggers – T2_COMP and T2_OVFL which are activated as follows:
- T2_COMP: Timer 2 compare event
- T2_OVFL: Timer 2 overflow event
13.4.4 Timer start/stop synchronization
This section describes the synchronized timer start and stop.
13.4.4.1 General
The Timer can be started and stopped synchronously with the 32.768 kHz clock rising edge. Note this event is derived from a 32.768 kHz clock signal, but is synchronous with the 32 MHz system
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 112 of 232 clock and thus has a period approximately equal the 32.768 kHz clock period. At the time of a synchronous start the timer is reloaded with new calculated values for the timer and overflow count such that it appears that the timer has not been stopped.
13.4.4.2 Timer synchronous stop
After the timer has started running, i.e. entered timer RUN mode it is stopped synchronously by writing 0 to T2CNF.RUN when T2CNF.SYNC is 1. After T2CNF.RUN has been set to 0, the timer will continue running until the 32.768 kHz clock rising edge is sampled as 1. When this occurs the timer is stopped and the current Sleep timer value is stored.
13.4.4.3 Timer synchronous start
When the timer is in the IDLE mode it is started synchronously by writing 1 to T2CNF.RUN when T2CNF.SYNC is 1. After T2CNF.RUN has been set to 1, the timer will remain in the IDLE mode until the 32.768 kHz clock rising edge is detected. When this occurs the timer will first calculate new values for the 16-bit timer value and for the 20-bit timer overflow count, based on the current and stored Sleep timer values and the current 16-bit timer values. The new MAC Timer and overflow count values are loaded into the timer and the timer enters the RUN mode. This synchronous start process takes 75 clock cycles from the time when the 32.768 kHz clock rising edge is sampled high. The synchronous start and stop function requires that the system clock frequency is selected to be 32 MHz. If the
16 MHz clock is selected, there will be an
offset added to the new calculated value. The method for calculating the new MAC Timer value and overflow count value is given below. Due to the fact that the MAC Timer clock and Sleep timer clocks are asynchronous with a non-integer clock ratio there will be an error of maximum ±1 in calculated timer value compared to the ideal timer value.

13.5 Sleep Timer
The Sleep timer is used to set the period between when the system enters and exits low-power sleep modes. The Sleep timer is also used to maintain timing in Timer 2 (MAC Timer) when entering a low-power sleep mode. The main features of the Sleep timer are the following:
- 24-bit timer up-counter operating at 32.768 kHz clock
- 24-bit compare
- Low-power mode operation in PM2
- Interrupt and DMA trigger
13.5.1 Timer Operation
This section describes the operation of the timer.
13.5.1.1 General
The Sleep timer is a 24-bit timer running on the 32.768 kHz clock. The timer starts running immediately after a reset and continues to run uninterrupted. The current value of the timer can be read from the SFR registers ST2:ST1:ST0.
13.5.1.2 Timer Compare
A timer compare occurs when the timer value is equal to the 24-bit compare value. The compare value is set by writing to the registers ST2:ST1:ST0. When a timer compare occurs the interrupt flag STIF (interrupt 5) is asserted. The interrupt enable bit for the ST interrupt is IEN0.STIE and the interrupt flag is IRCON.STIF. When operating in power modes PM1 or PM2, the Sleep timer will be running and the Sleep timer compare event is used to wake up the device and return to active operation in PM0. The default value of the compare value after reset is 0xFFFFFF. The Sleep timer compare can also be used as a DMA trigger (DMA trigger 9 in Table 37). ST2 (0x97) – Sleep Timer 2 Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:0 ST2[7:0] 0x00 R/W Sleep timer count/compare value. When read, this register returns the high bits [23:16] of the sleep timer count. When writing this register sets the high bits [23:16] of the compare value. The value read is latched at the time of reading register ST0. The value written is latched when ST0 is written. ST1 (0x96) – Sleep Timer 1 Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:0 ST1[7:0] 0x00 R/W Sleep timer count/compare value. When read, this register returns the middle bits [15:8] of the sleep timer count. When writing this register sets the middle bits [15:8] of the compare value. The value read is latched at the time of reading register ST0. The value written is latched when ST0 is written. ST0 (0x95) – Sleep Timer 0 Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:0 ST0[7:0] 0x00 R/W Sleep timer count/compare value. When read, this register returns the low bits [7:0] of the sleep timer count. When writing this register sets the low bits [7:0] of the compare value.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 118 of 232 13.6 8-bit Timer 3 and Timer 4 Timer 3 and 4 are 8-bit timers which support typical input capture and output compare operations using two capture/compare channels each. The timer allows general purpose timer and waveform generation functions. Features of Timer 3/4 are as follows:
- Dual channel operation
- Rising, falling or any edge input compare
- Set, clear or toggle output compare
- Clock prescaler for divide by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128
- Interrupt request generated on each capture/compare and terminal count event
- DMA trigger function 13.6.1 8-bit Timer Counter All timer functions are based on the main 8-bit counter found in Timer 3/4. The counter increments or decrements at each active clock edge. The period of the active clock edges is defined by the register bits CLKCON.TICKSPD which is further divided by the prescaler value set by TxCTL.DIV (where x refers to the timer number, 3 or 4). The counter operates as either a free-running counter, a down counter, a modulo counter or as an up/down counter. It is possible to read the 8-bit counter value through the SFR TxCNT where x refers to the timer number, 3 or 4. The possibility to clear and halt the counter is given with TxCTL control register settings. The counter is started when a 1 is written to TxCTL.START. If a 0 is written to TxCTL.START the counter halts at its present value.
13.6.2 Timer 3/4 Mode Control
In general the control register TxCTL is used to control the timer operation.
13.6.2.1 Free-running Mode
In the free-running mode of operation the counter starts from 0x00 and increments at each active clock edge. When the counter reaches 0xFF the counter is loaded with 0x00 and continues incrementing its value. When the terminal count value 0xFF is reached (i.e. an overflow occurs), the interrupt flag TIMIF.TxOVFIF is set. If the corresponding interrupt mask bit TxCTL.OVFIM is set, an interrupt request is generated. The free- running mode can be used to generate independent time intervals and output signal frequencies.
13.6.2.2 Down mode
In the down mode, after the timer has been started, the counter is loaded with the contents in TxCC. The counter then counts down to 0x00. The flag TIMIF.TxOVFIF is set when 0x00 is reached. If the corresponding interrupt mask bit TxCTL.OVFIM is set, an interrupt request is generated. The timer down mode can generally be used in applications where an event timeout interval is required.
13.6.2.3 Modulo Mode
When the timer operates in modulo mode the 8-bit counter starts at 0x00 and increments at each active clock edge. When the counter reaches the terminal count value held in register TxCC the counter is reset to 0x00 and continues to increment. The flag TIMIF.TxOVFIF is set when on this event. If the corresponding interrupt mask bit TxCTL.OVFIM is set, an interrupt request is generated. The modulo mode can be used for applications where a period other than 0xFF is required.
13.6.2.4 Up/down Mode
In the up/down timer mode, the counter repeatedly starts from 0x00 and counts up until the value held in TxCC is reached and then the counter counts down until 0x00 is reached. This timer mode is used when symmetrical output pulses are required with a period other than 0xFF, and therefore allows implementation of centre-aligned PWM output applications. Clearing the counter by writing to TxCTL.CLR will also reset the count direction to the count up from 0x00 mode.
13.6.3 Channel Mode Control
The channel modes for each channel; 0 and 1, are set by the control and status registers
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 119 of 232 TxCCTLn where n is the channel number, 0 or 1. The settings include input capture and output compare modes.
13.6.4 Input Capture Mode
When the channel is configured as an input capture channel, the I/O pin associated with that channel is configured as an input. After the timer has been started, either a rising edge, falling edge or any edge on the input pin triggers a capture of the 8-bit counter contents into the associated capture register. Thus the timer is able to capture the time when an external event takes place. The channel input pins are synchronized to the internal system clock. Thus pulses on the input pins must have a minimum duration greater than the system clock period. Note: before an I/O pin can be used by the timer, the required I/O pin must be configured as a Timer 3/4 peripheral pin as described in The content of the 8-bit capture registers is read out from registers TxCCn. When a capture takes place the interrupt flag corresponding to the actual channel is set. This is TIMIF.TxCHnIF. An interrupt request is generated if the corresponding interrupt mask bit TxCCTLn.IM is set.
13.6.5 Output Compare Mode
In output compare mode the I/O pin associated with a channel shall be set to an output. After the timer has been started, the contents of the counter is compared with the contents of the channel compare register TxCC0n. If the compare register equals the counter contents, the output pin is set, reset or toggled according to the compare output mode setting of TxCCTL.CMP1:0. Note that all edges on output pins are glitch-free when operating in a given compare output mode. For simple PWM use, output compare modes 4 and 5 are preferred. Writing to the compare register TxCC0 does not take effect on the output compare value until the counter value is 0x00. Writing to the compare register TxCC1 takes effect immediately. When a compare occurs the interrupt flag corresponding to the actual channel is set. This is TIMIF.TxCHnIF. An interrupt request is generated if the corresponding interrupt mask bit TxCCTLn.IM is set.
13.6.6 Timer 3 and 4 interrupts
There is one interrupt vector assigned to each of the timers. These are T3 (interrupt 11) and T4 (interrupt 12). An interrupt request is generated when one of the following timer events occur:
- Counter reaches terminal count value.
- Input capture event.
- Output compare event The SFR register TIMIF contains all interrupt flags for Timer 3 and Timer 4. The register bits TIMIF.TxOVFIF and TIMIF.TxCHnIF, contains the interrupt flags for the two terminal count value events and the four channel compare/capture events, respectively. An interrupt request is only generated when the corresponding interrupt mask bit is set. If there are other pending interrupts, the corresponding interrupt flag must be cleared by the CPU before a new interrupt request can be generated. Also, enabling an interrupt mask bit will generate a new interrupt request if the corresponding interrupt flag is set.
13.6.7 Timer 3 and Timer 4 DMA triggers
There are two DMA triggers associated with Timer 3 and two DMA triggers associated with Timer 4. These are the following:
- T3_CH0 : Timer 3 channel 0 compare
- T3_CH1 : Timer 3 channel 1 compare
- T4_CH0 : Timer 4 channel 0 compare
- T4_CH0 : Timer 4 channel 1 compare Refer to section 13.2 on page 86 for a description on use of DMA channels.

13.7 ADC
13.7.1 ADC Introduction
The ADC supports up to 14-bit analog-to- digital conversion. The ADC includes an analog multiplexer with up to eight individually configurable channels, reference voltage generator and conversion results written to memory through DMA. Several modes of operation are available. The main features of the ADC are as follows:
- Selectable decimation rates which also sets the resolution (8 to 13 bits).
- Eight individual input channels, single- ended or differential
- Reference voltage selectable as internal, external single ended, external differential or AVDD_SOC.
- Interrupt request generation
- DMA triggers at end of conversions
- Temperature sensor input
- Battery measurement capability input mux Sigma-delta modulator Decimation filter Clock generation and control AIN0 AIN7 . . . ref mux input mux VDD/3 TMP_SENSOR Int 1.25V AIN7 AVDD AIN6-AIN7 Figure 26: ADC block diagram.
13.7.2 ADC Operation
This section describes the general setup and operation of the ADC and describes the usage of the ADC control and status registers accessed by the CPU.
13.7.2.1 ADC Core
The ADC includes an ADC capable of converting an analog input into a digital representation with up to 13 bits resolution. The ADC uses a selectable positive reference voltage.
13.7.2.2 ADC Inputs
The signals on the P0 port pins can be used as ADC inputs. In the following these port pin will be referred to as the AIN0- AIN7 pins. The input pins AIN0-AIN7 are connected to the ADC. The ADC can be set up to automatically perform a sequence of conversions and optionally perform an extra conversion from any channel when the sequence is completed. It is possible to configure the inputs as single-ended or differential inputs. In the case where differential inputs are selected,
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 128 of 232 the differential inputs consist of the input pairs AIN0-1, AIN2-3, AIN4-5 and AIN6-7. In addition to the input pins AIN0-AIN7, the output of an on-chip temperature sensor can be selected as an input to the ADC for temperature measurements. It is also possible to select a voltage corresponding to AVDD_SOC/3 as an ADC input. This input allows the implementation of e.g. a battery monitor in applications where this feature is required.
13.7.2.3 ADC conversion sequences
The ADC will perform a sequence of conversions, and move the results to memory (through DMA) without any interaction from the CPU. The ADCCON2.SCH register bits are used to define an ADC conversion sequence, from the ADC inputs. A conversion sequence will contain a conversion from each channel from 0 up to and including the channel number programmed in ADCCON2.SCH when ADCCON2.SCH is set to a value less than 8. The single-ended inputs AIN0 to AIN7 are represented by channel numbers 0 to 7 in ADCCON2.SCH. Channel numbers 8 to 11 represent the differential inputs consisting of AIN0-AIN1, AIN2-AIN3, AIN4-AIN5 and AIN6-AIN7. Channel numbers 12 to 15 represent GND, internal voltage reference, temperature sensor and AVDD_SOC/3, respectively. When ADCCON2.SCH is set to a value between 8 and 12, the sequence will start at channel 8. For even higher settings, only single conversions are performed. In addition to this sequence of conversions, the ADC can be programmed to perform a single conversion from any channel as soon as the sequence has completed. This is called an extra conversion and is controlled with the ADCCON3 register. The conversion sequence can also be influenced with the ADCCFG register (see section 13.1.5 on page 72). The eight analog inputs to the ADC comes from IO pins, which are not necessarily programmed to be analog inputs. If a channel should normally be part of a sequence, but the corresponding analog input is disabled in the ADCCFG, then that channel will be skipped. For channels 8 to 12, both input pins must be enabled.
13.7.2.4 ADC Operating Modes
This section describes the operating modes and initialization of conversions. The ADC has three control registers: ADCCON1, ADCCON2 and ADCCON3. These registers are used to configure the ADC and to report status. The ADCCON1.EOC bit is a status bit that is set high when a conversion ends and cleared when ADCH is read. The ADCCON1.ST bit is used to start a sequence of conversions. A sequence will start when this bit is set high, ADCCON1.STSEL=”11” and no conversion is currently running. When the sequence is completed, this bit is automatically cleared. The ADCCON1.STSEL bits select which event that will start a new sequence of conversions. The options which can be selected are rising edge on external pin P2_0, end of previous sequence, a Timer 1 channel 0 compare event or ADCCON1.ST=’1’. The ADCCON2 register controls how the sequence of conversions is performed. ADCCON2.SREF is used to select the reference voltage. The reference voltage should only be changed when no conversion is running. The ADCCON2.SDIV bits select the decimation rate (and thereby also the resolution and time required to complete a conversion and sample rate). The decimation rate should only be changed when no conversion is running. The last channel of a sequence is selected with the ADCCON2.SCH bits. The ADCCON3 register controls the channel number, reference voltage and decimation rate for the extra conversion. The extra conversion will take place immediately after the ADCCON3 register is updated. The coding of the register bits is exactly as for ADCCON2.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 129 of 232
13.7.2.5 ADC Conversion Results
The digital conversion result is represented in two's complement form. For 13-bit resolution the digital conversion result is 8191 when the analog input is equal to the VREF, and the conversion result is -8192 when the analog input is equal to –VREF, where VREF is the selected positive voltage reference. The digital conversion result is available when ADCCON1.EOC is set to 1, in ADCH and ADCL. When the ADCCON2.SCH bits are read, they will indicate which channel the conversion result in ADCL and ADCH apply to.
13.7.2.6 ADC Reference Voltage
The positive reference voltage for analog- to-digital conversions is selectable as either an internally generated 1.25V voltage, the AVDD_SOC pin, the external voltage applied to the AIN7 input pin or the differential voltage applied to the AIN6- AIN7 inputs. It is possible to select the reference voltage as the input to the ADC in order to perform a conversion of the reference voltage e.g. for calibration purposes. Similarly, it is possible to select the ground terminal GND as an input.
13.7.2.7 ADC Conversion Timing
The ADC runs on the 32 MHz system clock, which is divided by 8 to give a 4 MHz clock. Both the delta sigma modulator and decimation filter use the 4 MHz clock for their calculations. The time required to perform a conversion depends on the selected decimation rate. When the decimation rate is set to for instance 128, the decimation filter uses exactly 128 of the 4 MHz clock periods to calculate the result. When a conversion is started, the input multiplexer is allowed 16
4 MHz clock cycles to settle in case the
channel has been changed since the previous conversion. The 16 clock cycles settling time applies to all decimation rates. Thus in general, the conversion time is given by: Tconv = (decimation rate + 16) x 0.25 µs.
13.7.2.8 ADC Interrupts
The ADC will generate an interrupt when an extra conversion has completed. An interrupt is not generated when a conversion from the sequence is completed.
13.7.2.9 ADC DMA Triggers
The ADC will generate a DMA trigger every time a conversion from the sequence has completed. When an extra conversion completes, no DMA trigger is generated. There is one DMA trigger for each of the eight channels defined by the first eight possible settings for ADCCON2.SCH . The DMA trigger is active when a new sample is ready from the conversion for the channel. The DMA triggers are named ADC_CHx in Table 37 on page 92. In addition there is one DMA trigger, ADC_CHALL, which is active when new data is ready from any of the channels in the ADC conversion sequence.

13.8 Random Number Generator
13.8.1 Introduction
The random number generator has the following features.
- Generate pseudo-random bytes which can be read by the CPU or used directly by the Command Strobe Processor.
- Calculate CRC16 of bytes that are written to RNDH.
- Seeded by value written to RNDL. The random number generator is a 16-bit Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) with polynomial 121516 +++ XXX (i.e. CRC16). It uses different levels of unrolling depending on the operation it performs. The basic version (no unrolling) is shown below. 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0+ + +in_bit Figure 27: Basic structure of the Random Number Generator The random number generator is turned off when ADCCON1.RCTRL=”11”.
13.8.2 Random Number Generator
The operation of the random number generator is controlled through a combination of the ADCCON1.RCTRL bits and input signals from other modules. The current value of the 16-bit shift register in the LFSR can be read from the RNDH and RNDL registers.
13.8.2.1 Semi random sequence
(ADCCON1.RCTRL=”00”) is to clock the LFSR once (13x unrolling) each time the Command Strobe Processor reads the random value. This leads to the availability of a fresh pseudo-random byte from the LSB end of the LFSR. Another way to update the LFSR is to set ADCCON1.RCTRL=”01”. This will clock the LFSR once (no unrolling) and the ADCCON1.RCTRL bits will automatically be cleared when the operation has completed.
13.8.2.2 Seeding
The LFSR can be seeded by writing to the RNDL register twice. Each time the RNDL register is written, the 8 LSB of the LFSR is copied to the 8 MSB and the 8 LSBs are replaced with the new data byte that was written to RNDL. When a true random value is required, the LFSR can be seeded by writing RNDL with random values from the ADC in the RF receive path. To use this seeding method, the radio must first be powered on by enabling the voltage regulator as described in section 16.1. The radio should be placed in infinite TX state, to avoid possible sync detect in RX state. The random values from the ADC are read from the RF registers ADCTSTH and ADCTSTL (see page 216). The values read are used as the seed values to be written to the RNDL register as described above.
13.8.2.3 CRC16
The LFSR can also be used to calculate the CRC value of a sequence of bytes. Writing to the RNDH register will trigger a CRC calculation. The new byte is processed from the MSB end and an 8x
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 134 of 232 unrolling is used, so that a new byte can be written to RNDH every clock cycle. Note that the LFSR must be properly seeded by writing to RNDL, before the CRC calculations start. Usually the seed value should be 0x0000 or 0xFFFF.
13.8.3 Random Number Generator Registers
This section describes the Random Number Generator registers. RNDL (0xBC) – Random Number Generator Data Low Byte Bit Name Reset R/W Description [7:0] RNDL[7:0] 0xFF R/W Random value/seed or CRC result, low byte When used for random number generation writing this register twice will seed the random number generator. Writing to this register copies the 8 LSBs of the LFSR to the 8 MSBs and replaces the 8 LSBs with the data value written. The value returned when reading from this register is the 8 LSBs of the LSFR. When used for random number generation, reading this register returns the 8 LSBs of the random number. When used for CRC calculations, reading this register returns the 8 LSBs of the CRC result. RNDH (0xBD) – Random Number Generator Data High Byte Bit Name Reset R/W Description [7:0] RNDH[7:0] 0xFF R/W Random value or CRC result/input data, high byte When written, a CRC16 calculation will be triggered, and the data value written is processed starting with the MSB bit. The value returned when reading from this register is the 8 MSBs of the LSFR. When used for random number generation, reading this register returns the 8 MSBs of the random number. When used for CRC calculations, reading this register returns the 8 MSBs of the CRC result.

13.9 AES Coprocessor
The CC2430 data encryption is performed using a dedicated coprocessor which supports the Advanced Encryption Standard, AES. The coprocessor allows encryption/decryption to be performed with minimal CPU usage. The coprocessor has the following features:
- Supports all security suites in IEEE 802.15.4
- ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB, CTR and CBC- MAC modes.
- Hardware support for CCM mode
- 128-bits key and IV/Nonce
- DMA transfer trigger capability
13.9.1 AES Operation
To encrypt a message, the following procedure must be followed:
- Load key
- Load initialization vector (IV)
- Download and upload data for encryption/decryption. The AES coprocessor works on blocks of 128 bits. A block of data is loaded into the coprocessor, encryption is performed and the result must be read out before the next block can be processed. Before each block load, a dedicated start command must be sent to the coprocessor.
13.9.2 Key and IV
Before a key or IV/nonce load starts, an appropriate load key or IV/nonce command must be issued to the coprocessor. When loading the IV it is important to also set the correct mode. A key load or IV load operation aborts any processing that could be running. The key, once loaded, stays valid until a key reload takes place. The IV must be downloaded before the beginning of each message (not block). Both key and IV values are cleared by a reset of the CC2430 .
13.9.3 Padding of input data
The AES coprocessor works on blocks of 128 bits. If the last block contains less than 128 bits, it must be padded with zeros when written to the coprocessor.
13.9.4 Interface to CPU
The CPU communicates with the coprocessor using three SFR registers:
- ENCCS, Encryption control and status register
- ENCDI, Encryption input register
- ENCDO, Encryption output register Read/write to the status register is done directly by the CPU, while access to the input/output registers must be performed using direct memory access (DMA). Two DMA channels must be used, one for input data and one for output data. The DMA channels must be initialized before a start command is written to the ENCCS. Writing a start command generates a DMA trigger and the transfer is started. After each block is processed, an interrupt is generated. The interrupt is used to issue a new start command to the ENCCS.
13.9.5 Modes of operation
ECB and CBC modes are performed as described in section 13.9.1 When using CFB, OFB and CTR mode, the 128 bits blocks are divided into four 32 bit blocks. 32 bits are loaded into the AES coprocessor and the resulting 32 bits are read out. This continues until all 128 bits have been encrypted. The only time one has to consider this is if data is loaded/read directly using the CPU. When using DMA, this is handled automatically by the DMA triggers generated by the AES coprocessor. Both encryption and decryption are performed similarly. The CBC-MAC mode is a variant of the CBC mode. When performing CBC-MAC, data is downloaded to the coprocessor one 128 bits block at a time, except for the last block. Before the last block is loaded,
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 136 of 232 the mode must be changed to CBC. The last block is then downloaded and the block uploaded will be the MAC value. CCM is a combination of CBC-MAC and CTR. Parts of the CCM must therefore be done in software. The following section gives a short explanation of the necessary steps to be done.
13.9.5.1 CBC-MAC
When performing CBC-MAC encryption, data is downloaded to the coprocessor in CBC-MAC mode one block at a time, except for the last block. Before the last block is loaded, the mode is changed to CBC. The last block is downloaded and the block uploaded is the message MAC. CBC-MAC decryption is similar to encryption. The message MAC uploaded must be compared with the MAC to be verified.
13.9.5.2 CCM mode
To encrypt a message under CCM mode, the following sequence can be conducted (key is already loaded): Message Authentication Phase This phase takes place during steps 1-6 shown in the following. (1) The software loads the IV with zeros. (2) The software creates the block B0. The layout of block B0 is shown in Figure 28. Name Designation First block for authentication in CCM mode Byte 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Name Flag NONCE L_M Figure 28: Message Authentication Phase Block 0 There is no restriction on the NONCE value. L_M is the message length in bytes. For 802.15.4 the NONCE is 13 bytes and L_M is 2 bytes. The content of the Authentication Flag byte is described in Figure 29. L is set to 6 in this example. So, L-1 is set to 5. M and A_Data can be set to any value.

The uploaded buffer contents stay unchanged (M=16), or only its first M bytes stay unchanged, the others being set to 0 (M-16). The result is U, which will be used later. 10) The software calls a CTR mode encryption right now on the still padded message blocks. It does not have to reload the IV/CTR. (11) The encrypted authentication data U is appended to the encrypted message. This gives the final result, c. Result c = encrypted message(m) + U Message Decryption CCM Mode decryption In the coprocessor, the automatic generation of CTR works on 32 bits, therefore the maximum length of a message is 128 x 2 32 bits, that is 236 bytes, which can be written in a six-bit word. So, the value L is set to 6. To decrypt a CCM mode processed message, the following sequence can be conducted (key is already loaded): Message Parsing Phase (1) The software parses the message by separating the M rightmost octets, namely U, and the other octets, namely string C. (2) C is padded with zeros until it can fill an integer number of 128-bit blocks; (3) U is padded with zeros until it can fill a 128-bit block. (4) The software creates the key stream block A0. It is done the same way as for CCM encryption. (5) The software loads A0 by selecting a Load IV/Nonce command. To do so, it sets Mode to CFB or OFB at the same time as it selects the IV load. (6) The software calls a CFB or an OFB encryption on the encrypted authenticated data U. The uploaded buffer contents stay unchanged (M=16), or only its first M bytes stay unchanged, the others being set to 0 (M!=16). The result is T. 7) The software calls a CTR mode decryption right now on the encrypted message blocks C. It does not have to reload the IV/CTR. Reference Authentication tag generation This phase is identical to the Authentication Phase of CCM encryption. The only difference is that the result is named MACTag (instead of T). Message Authentication checking Phase The software compares T with MACTag.
13.9.6 Sharing the AES coprocessor
The AES coprocessor is a common resource shared by all layers. The AES coprocessor can only be used by one instance one at a time. It is therefore necessary to implement some kind of software semaphore to allocate and de- allocate the resource.
13.9.7 AES Interrupts
The AES interrupt, ENC, is produced when encryption or decryption of a block is completed. The interrupt enable bit is IEN0.ENCIE and the interrupt flag is S0CON.ENCIF.
13.9.8 AES DMA Triggers
There are two DMA triggers associated with the AES coprocessor. These are ENC_DW which is active when input data needs to be downloaded to the ENCDI register, and ENC_UP which is active when output data needs to be uploaded from the ENCDO register. The ENCDI and ENCDO registers should be set as destination and source locations for DMA channels used to transfer data to or from the AES coprocessor.
13.9.9 AES Registers
The AES coprocessor registers have the layout shown in this section.

13.10 Power Management
This section describes the Power Management Controller. The Power Management Controller controls the use of power modes and clock control to achieve low-power operation.
13.10.1 Power Management Introduction
The CC2430 uses different operating modes, or power modes, to allow low- power operation. Ultra-low-power operation is obtained by turning off power supply to modules to avoid static (leakage) power consumption and also by using clock gating to reduce dynamic power consumption. The various operating modes are enumerated and are be designated as power modes (PMx). The power modes are:
- PM0 Clock oscillators on, voltage regulator on
- PM1 32.768 kHz oscillators on, voltage regulator on
- PM2 32.768 kHz oscillators on, voltage regulator off
- PM3 All clock oscillators off, voltage regulator off Note: the voltage regulator above refers to the digital regulator. The analog voltage regulator must be disabled separately through the RF register RFPWR.
13.10.1.1 PM0
PM0 is the full functional mode of operation where the CPU, peripherals and RF transceiver are active. The voltage regulator is turned on. PM0 is used for normal operation.
13.10.1.2 PM1
In PM1, the high-speed oscillators are powered down. The voltage regulator and the 32.768 kHz oscillators are on. When PM1 is entered, a power down sequence is run. When the device is taken out of PM1 to PM0, the high-speed oscillators are started. The device will run on the high speed RC oscillator until the high speed XOSC has settled and been selected. PM1 is used when the expected time until a wakeup event is relatively short since PM1 uses a fast power down/up sequence.
13.10.1.3 PM2
PM2 has the second lowest power consumption. In PM2 the power-on reset, external interrupts, 32.768 kHz oscillator and sleep timer peripherals are active. I/O pins retain the I/O mode and output value set before entering PM2. All other internal circuits are powered down. The voltage regulator is also turned off. When PM2 is entered, a power down sequence is run. PM2 is used when it is relatively long until the expected time for wakeup event, since the power up/down sequence is relatively long. PM2 is typically entered when using the sleep timer as the wakeup event.
13.10.1.4 PM3
PM3 is used to achieve the operating mode with the lowest power consumption. In PM3 all internal circuits that are powered from the voltage regulator are turned off. The internal voltage regulator and all oscillators are also turned off. Power-on reset and external I/O port interrupts are the only functions that are operating in this mode. I/O pins retain the I/O mode and output value set before entering PM3. Only a reset or external interrupt condition will wake the device up and place it into PM0. The contents of RAM and registers are preserved in this mode. PM3 uses the same power down/up sequence as PM2. PM3 is used to achieve ultra low power consumption when waiting for an external event.
13.10.2 Power Management Control
The required power mode is selected by the MODE bits in the SLEEP control register. Setting the SFR register
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 141 of 232 PCON.IDLE bit after setting the MODE bits, enters the selected sleep mode. An enabled interrupt from port pins or sleep timer or a power-on reset will wake the device from other power modes and bring it into PM0 by resetting the MODE bits.
13.10.3 System clock
The system clock is derived from the selected system clock source, which is the high-speed (32 MHz) crystal oscillator or the high-speed RC oscillator. The CLKCON.OSC bit selects the source of the system clock. Note that to use the RF transceiver the high speed crystal oscillator must be selected and stable. Note that each time the CLKCON.OSC bit is altered, then the CLKCON.CLKSPD bit must also be altered in order for the system to know the frequency of the system clock. When the SLEEP.XOSC_STB is 1, the 32 MHz crystal oscillator is stable and can be used as the source for the system clock. The oscillator not selected as the system clock source, will be set in power-down mode by setting SLEEP.OSC_PD to 1. Thus the high-speed RC oscillator may be turned off when th e 32 MHz crystal oscillator has been selected as system clock source and vice versa. When SLEEP.OSC_PD is 0, both oscillators are powered up and running.
13.10.4 High-speed oscillators
Two high speed oscillators are present in the device. The high-speed crystal oscillator startup time may be too long for some applications, therefore the device can run on the high-speed RC oscillator until crystal oscillator is stable. The high- speed RC oscillator consumes less power than the crystal oscillator, but since it is not as accurate as the crystal oscillator it can not be used for RF transceiver operation. 13.10.5 32.768 kHz oscillators Two 32.768 kHz oscillators are present in the device. By default the low power RC oscillator is enabled. The RC oscillator consumes less power, but is less accurate than the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator. Refer to Table 9 and Table 10 on page 16 for characteristics of these oscillators. The 32.768 kHz oscillators are used to drive the 32.768 kHz clock to the Sleep Timer and Watchdog Timer. The selection of which oscillator source for the 32.768 kHz clock is performed with the CLKCON.OSC32K register bit. The CLKCON.OSC32K register bit must only be changed while using the high- speed RC oscillator as the system clock source. When the high speed crystal oscillator is running the 32.768 kHz RC oscillator is continuously calibrated, and switching 32.768 kHz oscillator is not supported in this case.
13.10.6 Timer Tick generation
The power management controller generates a tick or enable signal for the peripheral timers, thus acting as a prescaler for the timers. This is a global clock division for Timer 1, Timer 3 and Timer 4. The tick speed is programmed from 0.25 to 32 MHz in the CLKCON.TICKSPD register.
13.10.7 Data Retention
In power modes PM2 and PM3 parts of SRAM will retain its contents. The content of internal registers is also retained in PM2/3. The XDATA memory locations 0xF000- 0xFFFF (4096 bytes) retains data in PM2/3. Please note one exception as given below. The XDATA memory locations 0xE000- 0xEFFF (4096 bytes) and the area 0xFD58-0xFEFF (424 bytes) will lose all data when PM2/3 is entered. These locations will contain undefined data when PM0 is re-entered. The registers which retain their contents are the CPU registers, peripheral registers and RF registers therefore switching to the low-power modes PM2/3 appears transparent to software. The RF TXFIFO/RXFIFO contents is not retained when entering PM2/3.

13.11 Power On Reset and Brown Out
The CC2430 includes a Power On Reset (POR) and Brown Out Detector (BOD) in order to protect the memory contents during supply voltage variations and provide correct initialization during power- on. When power is initially applied to the CC2430 the Power On Reset (POR) and Brown Out Detector (BOD) will hold the device in reset state until the supply voltage reaches above the Power On Reset and Brown Out voltages as defined in Table 4 on page 12. Figure 32 shows the POR/BOD operation with the 1.8V (typical) regulated supply voltage together with the active low reset signals BOD_RESET and POR_RESET shown in the bottom of the figure.

13.12 Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer (WDT) is intended as a recovery method in situations where the CPU may be subjected to a software upset. The WDT shall reset the system when software fails to clear the WDT within a selected time interval. The watchdog can be used in applications that are subject to electrical noise, power glitches, electrostatic discharge etc., or where high reliability is required. If the watchdog function is not needed in an application, it is possible to configure the watchdog timer to be used as an interval timer that can be used to generate interrupts at selected time intervals. The features of the watchdog timer are as follows:
- Four selectable timer intervals
- Watchdog mode
- Timer mode
- Interrupt request generation in timer mode
- Clock independent from system clock The WDT is configured as either a watchdog timer or as a timer for general- purpose use. The operation of the WDT module is controlled by the WDCTL register. The watchdog timer consists of an 15-bit counter clocked by the 32.768 kHz oscillator clock. Note that the contents of the 15-bit counter is not user- accessible.
13.12.1 Watchdog mode
The watchdog timer is disabled after a system reset. To set the WDT in watchdog mode the WDCTL.MODE bit is set to 0. The watchdog timer counter starts incrementing when the enable bit WDCTL.EN is set to 1. When the timer is enabled in watchdog mode it is not possible to disable the timer. Therefore, writing a 0 to WDCTL.EN has no effect if a 1 was already written to this bit when WDCTL.MODE was 0. The WDT operates with a watchdog timer clock frequency of 32.768 kHz. This clock frequency gives time-out periods equal to 1.9 ms, 15.625 ms, 0.25 s and 1 s corresponding to the count value settings 64, 512, 8192 and 32768 respectively. If the counter reaches the selected timer interval value, the watchdog timer generates a reset signal for the system. If a watchdog clear sequence is performed before the counter reaches the selected timer interval value, the counter is reset to 0x0000 and continues incrementing its value. The watchdog clear sequence consists of writing 0xA to WDCTL.CLR[3:0] followed by writing 0x5 to the same register bits within one half of a watchdog clock period. If this complete sequence is not performed, the watchdog timer generates a reset signal for the system. Note that as long as a correct watchdog clear sequence begins within the selected timer interval, the counter is reset when the complete sequence has been received. When the watchdog timer has been enabled in watchdog mode, it is not possible to change the mode by writing to the WDCTL.MODE bit. The timer interval value can be changed by writing to the WDCTL.INT[1:0] bits. Note that it is recommended that user software clears the watchdog timer at the same time as the timer interval value is changed, in order to avoid an unwanted watchdog reset. In watchdog mode, the WDT does not produce an interrupt request.
13.12.2 Timer mode
To set the WDT in normal timer mode, the WDCTL.MODE bit is set to 1. When register bit WDCTL.EN is set to 1, the timer is started and the counter starts incrementing. When the counter reaches the selected interval value, the timer will produce an interrupt request. In timer mode, it is possible to clear the timer contents by writing a 1 to WDCTL.CLR[0]. When the timer is cleared the contents of the counter is set to 0x0000. Writing a 0 to the enable bit WDCTL.EN stops the timer and writing 1 restarts the timer from 0x0000.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 146 of 232 The timer interval is set by the WDCTL.INT[1:0] bits. In timer mode, a reset will not be produced when the timer interval has been reached.

13.13 USART
USART0 and USART1 are serial communications interfaces that can be operated separately in either asynchronous UART mode or in synchronous SPI mode. The two USARTs have identical function, and are assigned to separate I/O pins. Refer to section 13.1 for I/O configuration.
13.13.1 UART mode
For asynchronous serial interfaces, the UART mode is provided. In the UART mode the interface uses a two-wire or four-wire interface consisting of the pins RXD, TXD and optionally RTS and CTS. The UART mode of operation includes the following features:
- 8 or 9 data bits
- Odd, even or no parity
- Configurable start and stop bit level
- Configurable LSB or MSB first transfer
- Independent receive and transmit interrupts
- Independent receive and transmit DMA triggers
- Parity and framing error status The UART mode provides full duplex asynchronous transfers, and the synchronization of bits in the receiver does not interfere with the transmit function. A UART byte transfer consists of a start bit, eight data bits, an optional ninth data or parity bit, and one or two stop bits. Note that the data transferred is referred to as a byte, although the data can actually consist of eight or nine bits. The UART operation is controlled by the USART Control and Status registers, UxCSR and the UART Control register UxUCR where x is the USART number, 0 or 1. The UART mode is selected when UxCSR.MODE is set to 1.
13.13.1.1 UART Transmit
A UART transmission is initiated when the USART Receive/transmit Data Buffer, UxDBUF register is written. The byte is transmitted on TXDx output pin. The UxDBUF register is double-buffered. The UxCSR.ACTIVE bit goes high when the byte transmission starts and low when it ends. When the transmission ends, the UxCSR.TX_BYTE bit is set to 1. An interrupt request is generated when the UxDBUF register is ready to accept new transmit data. This happens immediately after the transmission has been started, hence a new data byte value can be loaded into the data buffer while the byte is being transmitted.
13.13.1.2 UART Receive
Data reception on the UART is initiated when a 1 is written to the UxCSR.RE bit. The UART will then search for a valid start bit on the RXDx input pin and set the UxCSR.ACTIVE bit high. When a valid start bit has been detected the received byte is shifted into the receive register. The UxCSR.RX_BYTE bit is set and a receive interrupt is generated when the operation has completed. At the same time UxCSR.ACTIVE will go low. The received data byte is available through the UxDBUF register. When UxDBUF is read, UxCSR.RX_BYTE is cleared by hardware.
13.13.1.3 UART Hardware Flow Control
Hardware flow control is enabled when the UxUCR.FLOW bit is set to 1. The RTS output will then be driven low when the receive register is empty and reception is enabled. Transmission of a byte will not occur before the CTS input goes low.
13.13.1.4 UART Character Format
If the BIT9 and PARITY bits in register UxUCR are set high, parity generation and detection is enabled. The parity is computed and transmitted as the ninth bit, and during reception, the parity is computed and compared to the received ninth bit. If there is a parity error, the UxCSR.ERR bit is set high. This bit is cleared when UxCSR is read.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 148 of 232 The number of stop bits to be transmitted is set to one or two bits determined by the register bit UxUCR.SPB. The receiver will always check for one stop bit. If the first stop bit received during reception is not at the expected stop bit level, a framing error is signaled by setting register bit UxCSR.FE high. UxCSR.FE is cleared when UxCSR is read. The receiver will check both stop bits when UxUCR.SPB is set.
13.13.2 SPI Mode
This section describes the SPI mode of operation for synchronous communication. In SPI mode, the USART communicates with an external system through a 3-wire or 4-wire interface. The interface consists of the pins MOSI, MISO, SCK and SS_N. Refer to section 13.1 for description of how the USART pins are assigned to the I/O pins. The SPI mode includes the following features:
- 3-wire (master) and 4-wire SPI interface
- Master and slave modes
- Configurable SCK polarity and phase
- Configurable LSB or MSB first transfer The SPI mode is selected when UxCSR.MODE is set to 0. In SPI mode, the USART can be configured to operate either as an SPI master or as an SPI slave by writing the UxCSR.SLAVE bit.
13.13.2.1 SPI Master Operation
An SPI byte transfer in master mode is initiated when the UxDBUF register is written. The USART generates the SCK serial clock using the baud rate generator (see section 13.13.3) and shifts the provided byte from the transmit register onto the MOSI output. At the same time the receive register shifts in the received byte from the MISO input pin. The UxCSR.ACTIVE bit goes high when the transfer starts and low when the transfer ends. When the transfer ends, the UxCSR.RX_BYTE and UxCSR.TX_BYTE bits are set to 1. A receive interrupt is generated when new received data is ready in the UxDBUF USART Receive/Transmit Data register. The polarity and clock phase of the serial clock SCK is selected by UxGCR.CPOL and UxGCR.CPHA. The order of the byte transfer is selected by the UxGCR.ORDER bit. At the end of the transfer, the received data byte is available for reading from the UxDBUF. A transmit interrupt is generated when the unit is ready to accept another data byte for transmission. Since UxDBUF is double- buffered, this happens just after the transmission has been initiated.
13.13.2.2 SPI Slave Operation
An SPI byte transfer in slave mode is controlled by the external system. The data on the MOSI input is shifted into the receive register controlled by the serial clock SCK which is an input in slave mode. At the same time the byte in the transmit register is shifted out onto the MISO output. The UxCSR.ACTIVE bit goes high when the transfer starts and low when the transfer ends. Then the UxCSR.RX_BYTE and UxCSR.TX_BYTE bits are set and a receive interrupt is generated. The expected polarity and clock phase of SCK is selected by UxGCR.CPOL and UxGCR.CPHA. The expected order of the byte transfer is selected by the UxGCR.ORDER bit. At the end of the transfer, the received data byte is available for reading from UxDBUF The transmit interrupt is generated at the start of the operation.
13.13.3 SSN Slave Select Pin
When the USART is operating in SPI mode, configured as an SPI slave, the Slave Select (SSN) pin is an input to the SPI. When SSN is held low, the SPI slave is active and receives data on the MOSI input and outputs data on the MISO output. When SSN is held high, the SPI slave is inactive and will not receive data.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 149 of 232 In SPI master mode, the SSN pin is not used. When the USART operates as an SPI master and a slave select signal is needed by an external SPI slave device, then a general purpose I/O pin should be used to implement the slave select signal function in software.
13.13.4 Baud Rate Generation
An internal baud rate generator sets the UART baud rate when operating in UART mode and the SPI master clock frequency when operating in SPI mode. The UxBAUD.BAUD_M[7:0] and UxGCR.BAUD_E[4:0] registers define the baud rate used for UART transfers and the rate of the serial clock for SPI transfers. The baud rate is given by the following equation: FMBAUDBaudrate EBAUD ∗∗+= 28 2)_256( where F is the system clock frequency, 16 MHz or 32 MHz. The register values required for standard baud rates are shown in Table 39 for a typical system clock set to 32 MHz. The table also gives the difference in actual baud rate to standard baud rate value as a percentage error. The maximum baud rate for UART mode is F/16 when BAUD_E is 16 and BAUD_M is 0, and where F is the system clock frequency. The maximum baud rate for SPI mode and thus SCK frequency, is F/2 when BAUD_E is 19 and BAUD_M is 0. Setting higher baud rates than this will give erroneous results.

13.13.5 USART flushing
The current operation can be aborted by setting the UxUCR.FLUSH register bit. This event will immediately stop the current operation and clear all data buffers.
13.13.6 USART Interrupts
Each USART has two interrupts. These are the RX complete interrupt (URXx) and the TX complete interrupt (UTXx). The USART interrupt enable bits are found in the IEN0 and IEN2 registers. The interrupt flags are located in the TCON and IRCON2 registers. Refer to section 12.7 on page 52 for details of these registers. The
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 150 of 232 interrupt enables and flags are summarized below. Interrupt enables:

- USART0 RX : TCON.URX0IF
- USART1 RX : TCON.URX1IF
- USART0 TX : IRCON2.UTX0IF
- USART1 TX : IRCON2.UTX1IF
13.13.7 USART DMA Triggers
There are two DMA triggers associated with each USART. The DMA triggers are activated by RX complete and TX complete events i.e. the same events as the USART interrupt requests. A DMA channel can be configured using a USART Receive/transmit buffer, UxDBUF, as source or destination address. Refer to Table 37 on page 92 for an overview of the DMA triggers.
13.13.8 USART Registers
The registers for the USART are described in this section. For each USART there are five registers consisting of the following (x refers to USART number i.e. 0 or 1):
- UxCSR USART x Control and Status
- UxUCR USART x UART Control
- UxGCR USART x Generic Control
- UxDBUF USART x Receive/Transmit data buffer
- UxBAUD USART x Baud Rate Control

13.14 Flash Controller
The CC2430 contains 32, 64 or 128 KB flash memory for storage of program code. The flash memory is programmable from the user software. The Flash Controller handles writing and erasing the embedded flash memory. The embedded flash memory consists of 64 pages of 2048 bytes each (CC2430-F128). The flash memory is byte-addressable from the CPU and 32-bit word- programmable. The flash controller has the following features:
- 32-bit word programmable
- Page erase
- Lock bits for write-protection and code security
- Flash erase timing 20 ms
- Flash write timing (4 bytes) 20 µs
- Auto power-down during low- frequency CPU clock read access
13.14.1 Flash Write
Data is written to the flash memory by using a program command initiated by writing the Flash Control register, FCTL. Flash write operations can program any number of locations in the flash memory at a time – it is however important to make sure the pages to be written are erased first. A write operation is performed using one out of two methods;
- Through DMA transfer
- Through CPU SFR access. The DMA transfer method is the preferred way to write to the flash memory. A write operation is initiated by writing a 1 to FCTL.WRITE. The address to start writing at, is given by FADDRH:FADDRL. During each single, write operation FCTL.SWBSY is set high. During a write, operation the data written to the FWDATA register is forwarded to the flash memory. The flash memory is 32-bit word- programmable, meaning data is written as 32-bit words. Therefore, the actual writing to flash memory takes place each time four bytes have been written to FWDATA. The CPU will not be able to access the flash, e.g. to read program code, while a flash write operation is in progress. Therefore the program code executing the flash write must be executed from RAM, meaning that the program code must reside in the area 0xE000 to 0xFF00 in CODE memory space. When a flash write operation is executed from RAM, the CPU continues to execute code from the next instruction after the write to FWDATA, which initiated the flash write operation. The FCTL.SWBSY bit must be 0 before accessing the flash after a flash write, otherwise an access violation occurs. This also means that FCTL.SWBSY must be 0 before program execution can continue at a location in flash memory.
13.14.1.1 DMA Flash Write
When using DMA write operations, the data to be written into flash is stored in Data/XDATA memory. A DMA channel is configured to read th e data to be written from memory and write this data to the Flash Write Data register, FWDATA, with the DMA trigger event FLASH enabled. Thus the Flash Controller will trigger a DMA transfer when the Flash Write Data register, FWDATA, is ready to receive new data. The DMA channel should be configured to perform a block to fixed, single mode, byte size transfers. When the DMA channel is armed, starting a flash write will trigger the first DMA transfer. Figure 34 shows an example how a DMA channel is configured and how a DMA transfer is initiated to write a block of data from a location in XDATA to flash memory.

13.14.1.2 CPU Flash Write
The CPU can also write directly to the flash. The CPU writes data to the Flash Write Data register, FWDATA. The flash memory is written each time four bytes have been written to FWDATA. The CPU can poll the FCTL.SWBSY status to determine when the flash is ready for four more bytes to be written to FWDATA Performing flash write from XDATA The steps required to start a flash write operation from XDATA are shown in Figure 35 on page 159.

13.14.2 Flash Page Erase
A page erase is initiated by setting FCTL.ERASE to 1. The page addressed by FADDRH[6:1] is erased when a page erase is initiated. Note that if a page erase is initiated simultaneously with a page write, i.e. FCTL.WRITE is set to 1, the page erase will be performed before the page write operation. The FCTL.BUSY bit can be polled to see when the page erase has completed.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 160 of 232 Note: if flash erase operations are performed from within flash memory and the watchdog timer is enabled, a watchdog timer interval must be selected that is longer than 20 ms, the duration of the flash erase operation, so that the CPU will manage to clear the watchdog timer. Performing flash erase from flash memory. The steps required to perform a flash page erase from within flash memory are outlined in Figure 36. Note that, while executing program code from within flash memory, when a flash erase or write operation is initiated, program execution will resume from the next instruction when the flash controller has completed the operation. ; Erase page in flash memory ; Assumes 32 MHz system clock is used CLR EA ;mask interrupts C1: MOV A,FCTL ;wait until flash controller is ready JB ACC.7,C1 MOV FADDRH,#00h ;setup flash address high MOV FWT,#2Ah ;setup flash timing MOV FCTL,#01h ;erase page RET ;continues here when flash is ready Figure 36: Flash page erase performed from flash memory
13.14.3 Flash Lock Protection
For software protection purposes a set of lock protection bits can be written once after each chip erase has been performed. The lock protect bits can only be written through the Debug Interface. There are three kinds of lock protect bits as described in this section. The flash lock bits reside at location 0x000 in the Flash Information page as described in section 12.11. The LSIZE[2:0] lock protect bits are used to define a section of the flash memory which is write protected. The size of the write protected area can be set by the LSIZE[2:0] lock protect bits in sizes of eight steps from 0 to 128 KB. The second type of lock protect bits is BBLOCK, which is used to lock the boot sector page (page 0 ranging from address 0 to 0x07FF). When BBLOCK is set to 0, the boot sector page is locked. The third type of lock protect bit is DBGLOCK, which is used to disable hardware debug support through the Debug Interface. When DBGLOCK is set to 0, all debug commands are disabled. The lock protect bits are written as a normal flash write to FWDATA, but the Debug Interface needs to select the Flash Information Page first instead of the Flash Main Page which is the default setting. The Information Page is selected through the Debug Configuration which is written through the Debug Interface only. Refer to section 12.9 on page 62 for details on how the Flash Information Page is selected using the Debug Interface. Table 40 defines the byte containing the flash lock protection bits. Note that this is not an SFR register, but instead the byte stored at location 0x000 in Flash Information Page.

13.14.4 Flash Write Timing
The Flash Controller contains a timing generator, which controls the timing sequence of flash write and erase operations. The timing generator uses the information set in the Flash Write Timing register, FWT.FWT[5:0], to set the internal timing. FWT.FWT[5:0] must be set to a value according to the currently selected CPU clock frequency. The value set in the FWT.FWT[5:0] shall be set according to the CPU clock frequency by the following equation. 910*16
21000 CPUFFWT ∗=
FCPU is the CPU clock frequency. The initial value held in FWT.FWT[5:0] after a reset is 0x2A which corresponds to 32 MHz CPU clock frequency. The FWT values for the 16 MHz and 32 MHz CPU clock frequencies are given in Table 41. CPU clock frequency (MHz) FWT 16 0x15 32 0x2A Table 41: Flash timing (FWT) values
13.14.5 Flash DMA trigger
The Flash DMA trigger is activated when flash data written to the FWDATA register has been written to the specified location in the flash memory, thus indicating that the flash controller is ready to accept new data to be written to FWDATA.

The radio core is based on the industry leading CC2420 RF transceiver. CC2430 features a low-IF receiver. The received RF signal is amplified by the low- noise amplifier (LNA) and down-converted in quadrature (I and Q) to the intermediate frequency (IF). At IF (2 MHz), the complex I/Q signal is filtered and amplified, and then digitized by the ADCs. Automatic gain control, final channel filtering, de- spreading, symbol correlation and byte synchronization are performed digitally. An interrupt indicates that a start of frame delimiter has been detected. CC2430 buffers the received data in a 128 byte receive FIFO. The user may read the FIFO through an SFR interface. It is recommended to use direct memory access (DMA) to move data between memory and the FIFO. CRC is verified in hardware. RSSI and correlation values are appended to the frame. Clear channel assessment, CCA, is available through an interrupt in receive mode. The CC2430 transmitter is based on direct up-conversion. The data is buffered in a 128 byte transmit FIFO (separate from the receive FIFO). The preamble and start of frame delimiter are generated in hardware. Each symbol (4 bits) is spread using the IEEE 802.15.4 spreading sequence to 32 chips and output to the digital-to-analog converters (DACs). An analog low pass filter passes the signal to the quadrature (I and Q) up-conversion mixers. The RF signal is amplified in the power amplifier (PA) and fed to the antenna. The internal T/R switch circuitry makes the antenna interface and matching easy. The RF connection is differential. A balun may be used for single-ended antennas. The biasing of the PA and LNA is done by connecting TXRX_SWITCH to RF_P and RF_N through an external DC path. The frequency synthesizer includes a completely on-chip LC VCO and a 90 degrees phase splitter for generating the I and Q LO signals to the down-conversion mixers in receive mode and up-conversion mixers in transmit mode. The VCO operates in the frequency range 4800 –
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 165 of 232
4966 MHz, and the frequency is divided by
two when split into I and Q signals. The digital baseband includes support for frame handling, address recognition, data buffering, CSMA-CA strobe processor and MAC security. An on-chip voltage regulator delivers the regulated 1.8 V supply voltage. 14.1 IEEE 802.15.4 Modulation Format This section is meant as an introduction to the 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) RF modulation format defined in IEEE 802.15.4. For a complete description, please refer to [1]. The modulation and spreading functions are illustrated at block level in Figure 38 [1]. Each byte is divided into two symbols, 4 bits each. The least significant symbol is transmitted first. For multi-byte fields, the least significant byte is transmitted first. Each symbol is mapped to one out of 16 pseudo-random sequences, 32 chips each. The symbol to chip mapping is shown in Table 42. The chip sequence is then transmitted at 2 MChips/s, with the least significant chip (C 0) transmitted first for each symbol.

14.2 Command strobes
The CPU uses a set of command strobes to control operation of the radio in CC2430. Command strobes may be viewed as single byte instructions which each control some function of the radio. These command strobes must be used to enable the frequency synthesizer, enable receive mode, enable transmit mode and other functions. A total of nine command strobes are defined for the radio and these can be written individually to the radio or they can be given in a sequence together with a set of dedicated software instructions making up a simple program. All command strobes from the CPU to the radio pass through the CSMA-CA/Command Strobe Processor (CSP). Detailed description about the CSP and how command strobes are used is given in section 14.34 on page 189.
14.3 RF Registers
The operation of the radio is configured through a set of RF registers. These RF registers are mapped to XDATA memory space as shown in Figure 13 on page 38. The RF registers also provide status information from the radio. The RF registers control/status bits are referred to where appropriate in the following sections while section 14.35 on page 203 gives a full description of all RF registers.
14.4 Interrupts
The radio is associated with two interrupt vectors on the CPU. These are the RFERR interrupt (interrupt 0) and the RF interrupt (interrupt 12) with the following functions
- RFERR : TXFIFO underflow, RXFIFO overflow
- RF : all other RF interrupts given by RFIF interrupt flags The RF interrupt vector combines the interrupts in RFIF shown on page 168. Note that these RF interrupts are rising- edge triggered. Thus an interrupt is generated when e.g. the SFD status flag goes from 0 to 1. The RF interrupt can also be used to trigger a timer capture in Timer 1. The RFIF interrupt flags are described in the next section.
14.4.1 Interrupt registers
Two of the main interrupt control SFR registers are used to enable the RF and RFERR interrupts. These are the following:
- RFERR : IEN0.RFERRIE
- RF : IEN2.RFIE Two main interrupt flag SFR registers hold the RF and RFERR interrupt flags. These are the following:
- RFERR : TCON.RFERR
- RF : S1CON.RFIF Refer to section 12.7 on page 52 for details about the interrupts.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 167 of 232 The RF interrupt is the combined interrupt from eight different sources in the radio. Two SFR registers are used for setting the eight individual RFIF radio interrupt flags and interrupt enables. These are the RFIF and RFIM registers. The interrupt flags in SFR register RFIF show the status for each interrupt source for the RF interrupt vector. The interrupt enable bits in RFIM are used to disable individual interrupt sources for the RF interrupt vector. Note that masking an interrupt source in RFIM does not affect the update of the status in the RFIF register. Due to the use of the individual interrupt masks in RFIM, and the main interrupt mask for the RF interrupt given by IEN2.RFIE there is two-layered masking of this interrupt. Special attention needs to be taken when processing this type of interrupt as described below. To clear the RF interrupt, S1CON.RFIF and the interrupt flag in RFIF need to be cleared. The order and method of doing this is shown in Figure 40. Note that S1CON is cleared after RFIF, otherwise S1CON.RFIF could be set once again due to the same interrupt.

14.5 FIFO access
The TXFIFO and RXFIFO may be accessed through the SFR register RFD (0xD9). Data is written to the TXFIFO when writing to the RFD register. Data is read from the he RXFIFO when the RFD register is read. The RF register bits RFSTATUS.FIFO and RFSTATUS.FIFOP provide information on the data in the receive FIFO, as described in section 14.6 on page 170. Note that the RFSTATUS.FIFO and RFSTATUS.FIFOP only apply to the RXFIFO. The TXFIFO may be flushed by issuing a SFLUSHTX command strobe. Similarly, a SFLUSHRX command strobe will flush the receive FIFO.

14.6 DMA
It is possible, and in most cases recommended, to use direct memory access (DMA) to move data between memory and the radio. The DMA controller is described in section 13.2. Refer to this section for a detailed description on how to setup and use DMA transfers. To support the DMA controller there is one DMA trigger associated with the radio, this is the RADIO DMA trigger (DMA trigger 19). The RADIO DMA trigger is activated by two events. The first event to cause a RADIO DMA trigger, is when the first data is present in the RXFIFO, i.e. when the RXFIFO goes from the empty state to the non-empty state. The second event that causes a RADIO DMA trigger, is when data is read from the RXFIFO (through RFD SFR register) and there is still more data available in the RXFIFO.
14.7 Receive mode
In receive mode, the interrupt flag RFIF.IRQ_SFD goes high and the RF interrupt is requested after the start of frame delimiter (SFD) field has been completely received. If address recognition is disabled or is successful, the RFSTATUS.SFD bit goes low again only after the last byte of the MPDU has been received. If the received frame fails address recognition, the RFSTATUS.SFD bit goes low immediately. This is illustrated in Figure 41. The RFSTATUS.FIFO bit is high when there is one or more data bytes in the RXFIFO. The first byte to be stored in the RXFIFO is the length field of the received frame, i.e. the RFSTATUS.FIFO bit is set high when the length field is written to the RXFIFO. The RFSTATUS.FIFO bit then remains high until the RXFIFO is empty. The RF register RXFIFOCNT contains the number of bytes present in the RXFIFO. The RFSTATUS.FIFOP bit is high when the number of unread bytes in the RXFIFO exceeds the threshold programmed into IOCFG0.FIFOP_THR. When address recognition is enabled the RFSTATUS.FIFOP bit will not go high until the incoming frame passes address recognition, even if the number of bytes in the RXFIFO exceeds the programmed threshold. The RFSTATUS.FIFOP bit will also go high when the last byte of a new packet is received, even if the threshold is not exceeded. If so the RFSTATUS.FIFOP bit will go back to low once one byte has been read out of the RXFIFO. When address recognition is enabled, data should not be read out of the RXFIFO before the address is completely received, since the frame may be automatically flushed by CC2430 if it fails address recognition. This may be handled by using the RFSTATUS.FIFOP bit, since this bit does not go high until the frame passes address recognition. Figure 42 shows an example of status bit activity when reading a packet from the RXFIFO. In this example, the packet size is 8 bytes, IOCFG0.FIFOP_THR = 3 and MODEMCTRL0.AUTOCRC is set. The length will be 8 bytes, RSSI will contain the average RSSI level during receiving of the packet and FCS/corr contain information of FCS check result and the correlation levels.
14.8 RXFIFO overflow
The RXFIFO can only contain a maximum of 128 bytes at a given time. This may be divided between multiple frames, as long as the total number of bytes is 128 or less. If an overflow occurs in the RXFIFO, this is
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 171 of 232 signaled to the CPU by asserting the RFERR interrupt when enabled. In addition the radio will set RFSTATUS.FIFO bit low while the RFSTATUS.FIFOP bit is high. Data already in the RXFIFO will not be affected by the overflow, i.e. frames already received may be read out. A SFLUSHRX command strobe is required after a RXFIFO overflow to enable reception of new data. Note that the SFLUSHRX command strobe should be issued twice to ensure that the RFSTATUS.SFD bit goes back to its idle state.

14.9 Transmit mode
During transmit, the RFSTATUS.FIFO and RFSTATUS.FIFOP bits are still only related to the RXFIFO. The RFSTATUS.SFD bit is however active during transmission of a data frame, as shown in
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 172 of 232 Figure 43. The RFIF.IRQ_SFD interrupt flag goes high and the RF interrupt is requested when the SFD field has been completely transmitted. It goes low again when the complete MPDU (as defined by the length field) has been transmitted or if an underflow is detected. The interrupt RFERR is asserted when enabled. See section 14.17.1 on page 176 for more information on TXFIFO underflow. As can be seen from comparing Figure 41 and Figure 43, the RFSTATUS.SFD bit behaves very similarly during reception and transmission of a data frame. If the RFSTATUS.SFD bits of the transmitter and the receiver are compared during the transmission of a data frame, a small delay of approximately 2 µs can be seen because of bandwidth limitations in both the transmitter and the receiver.

14.10 General control and status
In receive mode, the RFIF.IRQ_FIFOP interrupt flag and RF interrupt request can be used to interrupt the CPU when a threshold has been exceeded or a complete frame has been received. In receive mode, the RFSTATUS.FIFO bit can be used to detect if there is data at all in the receive FIFO. The RFIF.IRQ_SFD interrupt flag can be used to extract the timing information of transmitted and received data frames. The RFIF.IRQ_SFD bit will go high when a start of frame delimiter has been completely detected / transmitted. For debug purposes, the RFSTATUS.SFD, RFSTATUS.FIFO, RFSTATUS.FIFOP and RFSTATUS.CCA bits can be output onto P1.7 – P1.4 I/O pins to monitor the status of these signals as selected by the IOCFG0, IOCFG1 and IOCFG2 register. The polarity of these signals given on the debug outputs can also be controlled by the IOCFG0-2 registers, if needed.
14.11 Demodulator, Symbol
Synchronizer and Data Decision The block diagram for the CC2430 demodulator is shown in Figure 44. Channel filtering and frequency offset compensation is performed digitally. The signal level in the channel is estimated to generate the RSSI level (see the RSSI / Energy Detection section on page 181 for more information). Data filtering is also included for enhanced performance. With the ±40 ppm frequency accuracy requirement from [1], a compliant receiver must be able to compensate for up to 80 ppm or 200 kHz. The CC2430 demodulator tolerates up to 300 kHz offset without
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 173 of 232 significant degradation of the receiver performance. Soft decision is used at the chip level, i.e. the demodulator does not make a decision for each chip, only for each received symbol. De-spreading is performed using over-sampling symbol correlators. Symbol synchronization is achieved by a continuous start of frame delimiter (SFD) search. When an SFD is detected, data is written to the RXFIFO and may be read out by the CPU at a lower bit rate than the 250 kbps generated by the receiver. The CC2430 demodulator also handles symbol rate errors in excess of 120 ppm without performance degradation. Resynchronization is performed continuously to adjust for error in the incoming symbol rate. The RF register MDMCTRL1H.CORR_THR control bits should be written to 20 to set the threshold for detecting IEEE 802.15.4 start of frame delimiters.

14.12 Frame Format
CC2430 has hardware support for parts of the IEEE 802.15.4 frame format. This section gives a brief summary to the IEEE 802.15.4 frame format, and describes how CC2430 is set up to comply with this. Figure 45 [1] shows a schematic view of the IEEE 802.15.4 frame format. Similar figures describing specific frame formats (data frames, beacon frames, acknowledgment frames and MAC command frames) are included in [1]. Figure 45: Schematic view of the IEEE 802.15.4 Frame Format [1]
14.13 Synchronization header
The synchronization header (SHR) consists of the preamble sequence followed by the start of frame delimiter (SFD). In [1], the preamble sequence is defined to be four bytes of 0x00. The SFD is one byte, set to 0xA7. In CC2430, the preamble length and SFD is configurable. The default values are PHY Layer Frame Control Field (FCF) Data Sequence Number 2 1Bytes: Address Information 0 to 20 Frame payload n Frame Check Sequence (FCS) MAC Header (MHR) MAC Payload MAC Footer (MFR) Frame Length MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) Start of frame Delimiter (SFD) Bytes: 1 1 5 + (0 to 20) + n Preamble Sequence Synchronisation Header (SHR) PHY Header (PHR) PHY Service Data Unit (PSDU) PHY Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) 11 + (0 to 20) + n MAC Layer
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 174 of 232 compliant with [1]. Changing these values will make the system non-compliant to IEEE 802.15.4. A synchronization header is always transmitted first in all transmit modes. The preamble sequence length can be set with RF register bit MDMCTRL0L.PREAMBLE_LENGTH, while the SFD is programmed in the SYNCWORDH:SYNCWORDL registers. SYNCWORDH:SYNCWORDL is two bytes long, which gives the user some extra flexibility as described below. Figure 46 shows how the CC2430 synchronization header relates to the IEEE 802.15.4 specification. The programmable preamble length only applies to transmission, it does not affect receive mode. The preamble length should not be set shorter than the default value. Note that 2 of the 8 zero-symbols in the preamble sequence required by [1] are included in the SYNCWORDH:SYNCWORDL registers so that the CC2430 preamble sequence is only 6 symbols long for compliance with [1]. Two additional zero symbols in SYNCWORDH:SYNCWORDL make CC2430 compliant with [1]. In reception, CC2430 synchronizes to received zero-symbols and searches for the SFD sequence defined by the SYNCWORDH:SYNCWORDL registers. The least significant symbols in SYNCWORDH:SYNCWORDL set to 0xF will be ignored, while symbols different from 0xF will be required for synchronization. The default setting of 0xA70F thereby requires one additional zero-symbol for synchronization. This will reduce the number of false frames detected due to noise. In receive mode CC2430 uses the preamble sequence for symbol synchronization and frequency offset adjustments. The SFD is used for byte synchronization, and is not part of the data stored in the receive buffer (RXFIFO). 0 7 AIEEE 802.15.4 Preamble SFD CC2430 2·(PREAMBLE_LENGTH + 1) zero symbols 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 SW0 SW0 = SYNCWORD[3:0] SW1 = SYNCWORD[7:4] SW2 = SYNCWORD[11:8] SW3 = SYNCWORD[15:12] SW1 SW2 SW3 if different from 'F', else '0' if different from 'F', else '0' if different from 'F', else '0' if different from 'F', else '0' Synchronisation Header Figure 46: Transmitted Synchronization Header
14.14 Length field
The frame length field shown in Figure 45 defines the number of bytes in the MPDU. Note that the length field does not include the length field itself. It does however include the FCS (Frame Check Sequence), even if this is inserted automatically by CC2430 hardware. The length field is 7 bits and has a maximum value of 127. The most significant bit in the length field is reserved [1], and should be set to zero. CC2430 uses the length field both for transmission and reception, so this field must always be included. In transmit mode, the length field is used for underflow detection, as described in the FIFO access section on page 169.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 175 of 232
14.15 MAC protocol data unit
The FCF, data sequence number and address information follows the length field as shown in Figure 45. Together with the MAC data payload and Frame Check Sequence, they form the MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU). The format of the FCF is shown in Figure 47. Please refer to [1] for details. There is no hardware support for the data sequence number, this field must be inserted and verified by software. CC2430 includes hardware address recognition, as described in the Address Recognition section on page 177.

14.16 Frame check sequence
A 2-byte frame check sequence (FCS) follows the last MAC payload byte as shown in Figure 45. The FCS is calculated over the MPDU, i.e. the length field is not part of the FCS. This field is automatically generated and verified by hardware when the RF register MDMCTRL0L.AUTOCRC control bit is set. It is recommended to always have this enabled, except possibly for debug purposes. If cleared, CRC generation and verification must be performed by software. The FCS polynomial is [1]: x 16 + x12 + x5 + 1 The CC2430 hardware implementation is shown in Figure 48. Please refer to [1] for further details. In transmit mode the FCS is appended at the correct position defined by the length field. The FCS is not written to the TXFIFO, but stored in a separate 16-bit register. In receive mode the FCS is verified by hardware. The user is normally only interested in the correctness of the FCS, not the FCS sequence itself. The FCS sequence itself is therefore not written to the RXFIFO during receive. Instead, when MDMCTRL0L.AUTOCRC is set the two FCS bytes are replaced by the RSSI value, average correlation value (used for LQI) and CRC OK/not OK. This is illustrated in Figure 49. The first FCS byte is replaced by the 8-bit RSSI value. See the RSSI section on page 181 for details. The seven least significant bits in the last FCS byte are replaced by the average correlation value of the 8 first symbols of the received PHY header (length field) and PHY Service Data Unit (PSDU). This correlation value may be used as a basis for calculating the LQI. See the Link Quality Indication section on page 182 for details. The most significant bit in the last byte of each frame is set high if the CRC of the received frame is correct and low otherwise.

14.17 RF Data Buffering
CC2430 can be configured for different transmit and receive modes, as set in the MDMCTRL1L.TX_MODE and MDMCTRL1L.RX_MODE control bits. Buffered mode (mode 0) will be used for normal operation of CC2430, while other modes are available for test purposes.
14.17.1 Buffered transmit mode
In buffered transmit mode (TX_MODE 0), the 128 byte TXFIFO, located in CC2430 RAM, is used to buffer data before transmission. A synchronization header is automatically inserted before the length field during transmission. The length field must always be the first byte written to the transmit buffer for all frames. Writing one or multiple bytes to the TXFIFO is described in the FIFO access section on page 169. A DMA transfer can be configured to write transmit data to the TXFIFO. Transmission is enabled by issuing a STXON or STXONCCA command strobe. See the Radio control state machine section on page 179 for an illustration of how the transmit command strobes affect the state of CC2430. The STXONCCA strobe is ignored if the channel is busy. See section 14.25 on page 182 for details on CCA. The preamble sequence is started 12 symbol periods after the transmit command strobe. After the programmable start of frame delimiter has been transmitted, data is fetched from the TXFIFO. The TXFIFO can only contain one data frame at a given time. After complete transmission of a data frame, the TXFIFO is automatically refilled with the last transmitted frame. Issuing a new STXON or STXONCCA command strobe will then cause CC2430 to retransmit the last frame. Writing to the TXFIFO after a frame has been transmitted will cause the TXFIFO to be automatically flushed before the new byte is written. The only exception is if a TXFIFO underflow has occurred, when a SFLUSHTX command strobe is required.
14.17.2 Buffered receive mode
In buffered receive mode (RX_MODE 0), the 128 byte RXFIFO, located in CC2430 RAM, is used to buffer data received by the demodulator. Accessing data in the RXFIFO is described in the FIFO access section on page 169.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 177 of 232 The RF interrupt generated by RFSTATUS.FIFOP and also the RFSTATUS.FIFO and RFSTATUS.FIFOP register bits are used to assist the CPU in supervising the RXFIFO. Please note that these status bits are only related to the RXFIFO, even if CC2430 is in transmit mode. A DMA transfer should be used to read data from the RXFIFO. In this case a DMA channel can be setup to use the RADIO DMA trigger (see DMA triggers on page 92) to initiate a DMA transfer using the RFD register as the DMA source. Multiple data frames may be in the RXFIFO simultaneously, as long as the total number of bytes does not exceed 128. See the RXFIFO overflow section on page 170 for details on how a RXFIFO overflow is detected and signaled.
14.18 Address Recognition
CC2430 includes hardware support for address recognition, as specified in [1]. Hardware address recognition may be enabled or disabled using the MDMCTRL0H.ADDR_DECODE control bit. Address recognition uses the following RF registers
- IEEE_ADDR7-IEEE_ADDR0
- PANIDH:PANIDL
- SHORTADDRH:SHORTADDRL. Address recognition is based on the following requirements, listed from section 7.5.6.2 in [1]:
- The frame type subfield shall not contain an illegal frame type
- If the frame type indicates that the frame is a beacon frame, the source PAN identifier shall match macPANId unless macPANId is equal to 0xFFFF, in which case the beacon frame shall be accepted regardless of the source PAN identifier.
- If a destination PAN identifier is included in the frame, it shall match macPANId or shall be the broadcast PAN identifier (0xFFFF).
- If a short destination address is included in the frame, it shall match either macShortAddress or the broadcast address (0xFFFF). Otherwise if an extended destination address is included in the frame, it shall match aExtendedAddress.
- If only source addressing fields are included in a data or MAC command frame, the frame shall only be accepted if the device is a PAN coordinator and the source PAN identifier matches macPANId. If any of the above requirements are not satisfied and address recognition is enabled, CC2430 will disregard the incoming frame and flush the data from the RXFIFO. Only data from the rejected frame is flushed, data from previously accepted frames may still be in the RXFIFO. Incoming frames are fi rst subject to frame type filtering according to the setting of the MDMCTRL0H.FRAMET_FILT register bit. Following the required frame type filtering, incoming frames with reserved frame types (FCF frame type subfield is 4, 5, 6 or 7) are however accepted if the RESERVED_FRAME_MODE control bit in the RF register MDMCTRL0H is set. In this case, no further address recognition is performed on these frames. This option is included for future expansions of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. If a frame is rejected, CC2430 will only start searching for a new frame after the rejected frame has been completely received (as defined by the length field) to avoid detecting false SFDs within the frame. The MDMCTRL0.PAN_COORDINATOR control bit must be correctly set, since parts of the address recognition procedure requires knowledge about whether the current device is a PAN coordinator or not.

14.19 Acknowledge Frames
CC2430 includes hardware support for transmitting acknowledge frames, as specified in [1]. Figure 50 shows the format of the acknowledge frame. If MDMCTRL0L.AUTOACK is enabled, an acknowledge frame is transmitted for all incoming frames accepted by the address recognition with the acknowledge request flag set and a valid CRC. AUTOACK therefore does not make sense unless also ADDR_DECODE and AUTOCRC are enabled. The sequence number is copied from the incoming frame. Frame Control Field (FCF) Data Sequence Number 2 1 Frame Check Sequence (FCS) MAC Header (MHR) MAC Footer (MFR) Frame Length Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD) Bytes: 1 1 Preamble Sequence Synchronisation Header (SHR) PHY Header (PHR) Figure 50: Acknowledge frame format [1] Two command strobes, SACK and SACKPEND are defined to transmit acknowledge frames with the frame pending field cleared or set, respectively. The acknowledge frame is only transmitted if the CRC is valid. For systems using beacons, there is an additional timing requirement that the acknowledge frame transmission may be started on the first backoff-slot boundary (20 symbol periods) at least 12 symbol periods after the last symbol of the incoming frame. When the RF register control bit MDMCTRL1H.SLOTTED_ACK is set to 1, the acknowledge frame is transmitted between 12 and 30 symbol periods after the incoming frame. The timing is defined such that there is an integer number of 20-symbol period backoff-slots between the incoming packet SFD and the transmitted acknowledge frame SFD. This timing is also illustrated in Figure 51. Using SACKPEND will set the pending data flag for automatically transmitted acknowledge frames using AUTOACK. The pending flag will then be set also for future acknowledge frames, until a SACK command strobe is issued. The pending data flag that is transmitted will be logically OR’ed with the value of FSMTC1.PENDING_OR. Thus the pending flag can be set high using this register control bit. Acknowledge frames may be manually transmitted using normal data transmission if desired.

14.20 Radio control state machine
CC2430 has a built-in state machine that is used to switch between different operation states (modes). The change of state is done either by using command strobes or by internal events such as SFD detected in receive mode. The radio control state machine states are shown in Figure 52. The numbers in brackets refer to the state number readable in the FSMSTATE status register. Reading the FSMSTATE status register is primarily for test / debug purposes. The figure assumes that the device is already placed in the PM0 power mode. Before using the radio in either RX or TX mode, the voltage regulator and crystal oscillator must be turned on and become stable. The voltage regulator and crystal oscillator startup times are given in the section 7.4 on page 16. The voltage regulator for the radio is enabled by setting the RF register bit RFPWR.RREG_RADIO_PD high. The interrupt flag RFIF.IRQ_RREG_ON is set to 1 when the voltage regulator has powered-up. The crystal oscillator is controlled through the Power Management Controller. The SLEEP.XOSC_STB bit indicates whether the oscillator is running and stable or not (see page 142). This SFR register can be polled when waiting for the oscillator to start. For test purposes, the frequency synthesizer (FS) can also be manually calibrated and started by using the STXCALN or ISTXCALN command strobe (see section 0 and 0). This will not start a transmission before a STXON command strobe is issued. This is not shown in Figure 52. Enabling transmission is done by issuing a STXON or STXONCCA command strobe. Turning off RF can be accomplished by using the SRFOFF command strobe. After bringing the CC2430 u p t o P o w e r Mode 0 (PM0) from a low-power mode e.g. Power Mode 3 (PM3), all RF registers will retain their values thus placing the chip ready to operate at the correct frequency and mode. Due to the very fast start-up time, CC2430 can remain in a low-power mode until a transmission session is requested.

14.21 MAC Security Operations (Encryption and Authentication)
CC2430 features hardware IEEE 802.15.4 MAC security operations. Refer to section 13.9 on page 135 for a description of the AES encryption unit.
14.22 Linear IF and AGC Settings
C2430 is based on a linear IF chain where the signal amplification is done in an analog VGA (variable gain amplifier). The gain of the VGA is digitally controlled. The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) loop ensures that the ADC operates inside its dynamic range by using an analog/digital feedback loop. The AGC characteristics are set through the AGCCTRLL:AGCCTRLH, registers. The reset values should be used for all AGC control registers.
14.23 RSSI / Energy Detection
CC2430 has a built-in RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) giving a digital value that can be read form the 8 bit, signed 2’s complement RSSIL.RSSI_VAL register bits. The RSSI value is always averaged over 8 symbol periods (128 µs), in accordance with [1]. The RSSI register value RSSI.RSSI_VAL can be referred to the power P at the RF pins by using the following equations: P = RSSI_VAL + RSSI_OFFSET [dBm] where the RSSI_OFFSET is found empirically during system development from the front end gain. RSSI_OFFSET is approximately –45. E.g. if reading a value of –20 from the RSSI register, the RF input power is approximately –65 dBm. A typical plot of the RSSI_VAL reading as function of input power is shown in Figure 53. It can be seen from the figure that the RSSI reading from CC2430 is very linear and has a dynamic range of about 100 dB. -60 -40 -20 -100 -80 -60 -40 -20 0 RF Level [dBm] RSSI Register Value Figure 53: Typical RSSI value vs. input power

14.24 Link Quality Indication
The link quality indication (LQI) measurement is a characterization of the strength and/or quality of a received packet, as defined by [1]. The RSSI value described in the previous section may be used by the MAC software to produce the LQI value. The LQI value is required by [1] to be limited to the range 0 through 255, with at least eight unique values. Software is responsible for generating the appropriate scaling of the LQI value for the given application. Using the RSSI value directly to calculate the LQI value has the disadvantage that e.g. a narrowband interferer inside the channel bandwidth will increase the LQI value although it actually reduces the true link quality. CC2430 therefore also provides an average correlation value for each incoming packet, based on the eight first symbols following the SFD. This unsigned 7-bit value can be looked upon as a measurement of the “chip error rate,” although CC2430 does not do chip decision. As described in the Frame check sequence section on page 175, the average correlation value for the eight first symbols is appended to each received frame together with the RSSI and CRC OK/not OK when MDMCTRL0L.AUTOCRC is set. A correlation value of approx. 110 indicates a maximum quality frame while a value of approx. 50 is typically the lowest quality frames detectable by CC2430. Software must convert the correlation value to the range 0-255 defined by [1], e.g. by calculating: LQI = (CORR – a) · b limited to the range 0-255, where a and b are found empirically based on PER measurements as a function of the correlation value. A combination of RSSI and correlation values may also be used to generate the LQI value.
14.25 Clear Channel Assessment
The clear channel assessment signal is based on the measured RSSI value and a programmable threshold. The clear channel assessment function is used to implement the CSMA-CA functionality specified in [1]. CCA is valid when the receiver has been enabled for at least 8 symbol periods. Carrier sense threshold level is programmed by RSSI.CCA_THR. The threshold value can be programmed in steps of 1 dB. A CCA hysteresis can also be programmed in the MDMCTRL0H.CCA_HYST control bits. All three CCA modes specified by [1] are implemented in CC2430. These are set in MDMCTRL0L.CCA_MODE, as can be seen in the register description. The different modes are:
00 Reserved
01 Clear channel when received energy
is below threshold.
10 Clear channel when not receiving
valid IEEE 802.15.4 data.
11 Clear channel when energy is below
threshold and not receiving valid IEEE 802.15.4 data Clear channel assessment is available on the RFSTATUS.CCA RF register bit. RFSTATUS.CCA is active high. This register bit will also set the interrupt flag RFIF.IRQ_CCA. Implementing CSMA-CA may easiest be done by using the STXONCCA command strobe given by the CSMA-CA/strobe processor, as shown in the Radio control state machine section on page 179. Transmission will then only start if the channel is clear. The TX_ACTIVE status bit in the RFSTATUS RF register may be used to detect the result of the CCA.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 183 of 232
14.26 Frequency and Channel
The operating frequency is set by programming the 10 bit frequency word located in FSCTRLH.FREQ[9:8] and FSCTRLL.FREQ[7:0]. The operating frequency FC in MHz is given by: FC = 2048 + FREQ[9:0] MHz where FREQ[9:0] is the value given by FSCTRLH.FREQ[9:8]:FSCTRLL.FREQ[7 :0] In receive mode the actual LO frequency is FC – 2 MHz, since a 2 MHz IF is used. Direct conversion is used for transmission, so here the LO frequency equals F C. The
2 MHz IF is automatically set by CC2430,
so the frequency programming is equal for RX and TX. IEEE 802.15.4 specif ies 16 channels within the 2.4 GHz band, numbered 11 through 26. The RF frequency of channel k is given by [1] : For operation in channel k, the FSCTRLH.FREQ:FSCTRLL.FREQ register should therefore be set to: FSCTRLH.FREQ:FSCTRLL.FREQ = 357 + 5 (k-11)
14.27 VCO and PLL Self-Calibration
14.27.1 VCO
The VCO is completely integrated and operates at 4800 – 4966 MHz. The VCO frequency is divided by 2 to generate frequencies in the desired band (2400- 2483.5 MHz).
14.27.2 PLL self-calibration
The VCO's characteristics will vary with temperature, changes in supply voltages, and the desired operating frequency. In order to ensure reliable operation the VCO’s bias current and tuning range are automatically calibrated every time the RX mode or TX mode is enabled, i.e. in the RX_CALIBRATE, TX_CALIBRATE and TX_ACK_CALIBRATE control states in Figure 52 on page 180.
14.28 Output Power Programming
The RF output power of the device is programmable and is controlled by the TXCTRLL.PA_LEVEL RF register. Table 43 shows the output power for different settings, including the complete programming of the TXCTRLL control register and the current consumption in the radio itself. PA_LEVEL TXCTRLL register Output Power [dBm] Current consumption [mA] 31 0xFF 0 17.4 27 0xFB -1 16.5 23 0xF7 -3 15.2 19 0xF3 -5 13.9 15 0xEF -7 12.5 11 0xEB -10 11.2 7 0xE7 -15 9.9 3 0xE3 -25 8.5 Table 43: Output power settings
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 184 of 232
14.29 Input / Output Matching
The RF input / output is differential ( RF_N and RF_P). In addition there is supply switch output pin ( TXRX_SWITCH) that must have an external DC path to RF_N and RF_P. In RX mode the TXRX_SWITCH pin is at ground and will bias the LNA. In TX mode the TXRX_SWITCH pin is at supply rail voltage and will properly bias the internal PA. The RF output and DC bias can be done using different topologies. Some are shown in Figure 6 on page 30. Component values are given in Table 24 on page 31. If a differential antenna is implemented, no balun is required. If a single ended output is required (for a single ended connector or a single ended antenna), a balun should be used for optimum performance.
14.30 Transmitter Test Modes
CC2430 can be set into different transmit test modes for performance evaluation. The test mode descriptions in the following sections requires that the chip is first reset, the crystal oscillator is selected using the CLKCON register and that the crystal oscillator has stabilized.
14.30.1 Unmodulated carrier
An unmodulated carrier may be transmitted by setting MDMCTRL1L.TX_MODE to 2, writing 0x1800 to the DACTSTH:DACTSTL registers and issue a STXON command strobe. The transmitter is then enabled while the transmitter I/Q DACs are overridden to static values. An un- modulated carrier will then be available on the RF output pins. A plot of the single carrier output spectrum from CC2430 is shown in Figure 54 below.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 185 of 232 Figure 54: Single carrier output
14.30.2 Modulated spectrum
The CC2430 has a built-in test pattern generator that can generate a pseudo random sequence using the CRC generator. This is enabled by setting MDMCTRL1L.TX_MODE to 3 and issuing a STXON command strobe. The modulated spectrum is then available on the RF pins. The low byte of the CRC word is transmitted and the CRC is updated with 0xFF for each new byte. The length of the transmitted data sequence is 65535 bits. The transmitted data-sequence is then: [synchronization header] [0x00, 0x78, 0xb8, 0x4b, 0x99, 0xc3, 0xe9, …] Since a synchronization header (preamble and SFD) is transmitted in all TX modes, this test mode may also be used to transmit a known pseudorandom bit sequence for bit error testing. Please note that CC2430 requires symbol synchronization, not only bit synchronization, for correct reception. Packet error rate is therefore a better measurement for the true RF performance. Another option to generate a modulated spectrum is to fill the TXFIFO with pseudo- random data and set MDMCTRL1L.TX_MODE to 2. CC2430 will then transmit data from the FIFO disregarding a TXFIFO underflow. The length of the transmitted data sequence is then 1024 bits (128 bytes). A plot of the modulated spectrum from CC2430 is shown in Figure 55. Note that to find the output power from the modulated spectrum, the RBW must be set to 3 MHz or higher.

14.31 System Considerations and
14.31.1 SRD regulations
International regulations and national laws regulate the use of radio receivers and transmitters. SRDs (Short Range Devices) for license free operation are allowed to operate in the 2.4 GHz band worldwide. The most important regulations are ETSI EN 300 328 and EN 300 440 (Europe), FCC CFR-47 part 15.247 and 15.249 (USA), and ARIB STD-T66 (Japan).
14.31.2 Frequency hopping and multi-
The 2.4 GHz band is shared by many systems both in industrial, office and home environments. CC2430 uses direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) as defined by [1] to spread the output power, thereby making the communication link more robust even in a noisy environment. With CC2430 it is also possible to combine both DSSS and FHSS (f requency hopping spread spectrum) in a proprietary non- IEEE 802.15.4 system. This is achieved by reprogramming the operating frequency (see the Frequency and Channel Programming section on page 183) before enabling RX or TX. A frequency synchronization scheme must then be implemented within the proprietary MAC layer to make the transmitter and receiver operate on the same RF channel.
14.31.3 Data burst transmissions
The data buffering in CC2430 lets the user have a lower data rate link between the CPU and the radio module than the RF bit rate of 250 kbps. This allows the CPU to
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 187 of 232 buffer data at its own speed, reducing the workload and timing requirements. DMA transfers may be used to efficiently move data to and from the radio FIFOs. The relatively high data rate of CC2430 also reduces the average power consumption compared to the 868 / 915 MHz bands defined by [1], where only 20 / 40 kbps are available. CC2430 may be powered up a smaller portion of the time, so that the average power consumption is reduced for a given amount of data to be transferred.
14.31.4 Crystal accuracy and drift
A crystal accuracy of ±40 ppm is required for compliance with IEEE 802.15.4 [1]. This accuracy must also take ageing and temperature drift into consideration. A crystal with low temperature drift and low aging could be used without further compensation. A trimmer capacitor in the crystal oscillator circuit (in parallel with C191 in Figure 6) could be used to set the initial frequency accurately. For non-IEEE 802.15.4 systems, the robust demodulator in CC2430 allows up to 120 ppm total frequency offset between the transmitter and receiver. This could e.g. relax the accuracy requirement to 60 ppm for each of the devices. Optionally in a star network topology, the FFD could be equipped with a more accurate crystal thereby relaxing the requirement on the RFD. This can make sense in systems where the RFDs ship in higher volumes than the FFDs.
14.31.5 Communication robustness
CC2430 provides very good adjacent, alternate and co channel rejection, image frequency suppression and blocking properties. The CC2430 performance is significantly better than the requirements imposed by [1]. These are highly important parameters for reliable operation in the 2.4 GHz band, since an increasing number of devices/systems are using this license free frequency band.
14.31.6 Communication security
The hardware encryption and authentication operations in CC2430 enable secure communication, which is required for many applications. Security operations require a lot of data processing, which is costly in an 8-bit microcontroller system. The hardware support within CC2430 enables a high level of security with minimum CPU processing requirements.
14.31.7 Low cost systems
As the CC2430 provides 250 kbps multi- channel performance without any external filters, a very low cost system can be made (e.g. two layer PCB with single- sided component mounting). A differential antenna will eliminate the need for a balun, and the DC biasing can be achieved in the antenna topology.
14.31.8 Battery operated systems
In low power applications, the CC2430 should be placed in the low-power modes PM2 or PM3 when not being active. Ultra low power consumption may be achieved since the voltage regulators are turned off.
14.31.9 BER / PER measurements
CC2430 includes test modes where data is received infinitely and output to pins. The required test modes are selected with the RF register bits MDMCTRL1L.TX_MODE[1:0] and MDMCTRL1L.RX_MODE[1:0]. These modes may be used for Bit Error Rate (BER) measurements. However, the following precautions must be taken to perform such a measurement:
- A preamble and SFD sequence must be used, even if pseudo random data is transmitted, since receiving the DSSS modulated signal requires symbol synchronization, not bit synchronization like e.g. in 2FSK systems. The SYNCWORDH:SYNCWORDL may be set to another value to fit to the measurement setup if necessary.
- The data transmitted over air must be spread according to [1] and the description on page 165. This means that the transmitter used during measurements must be able to do spreading of the bit
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 188 of 232 data to chip data. Remember that the chip sequence transmitted by the test setup is not the same as the bit sequence, which is output by CC2430.
- When operating at or below the sensitivity limit, CC2430 may lose symbol synchronization in infinite receive mode. A new SFD and restart of the receiver may be required to re-gain synchronization. In an IEEE 802.15.4 system, all communication is based on packets. The sensitivity limit specified by [1] is based on Packet Error Rate (PER) measurements instead of BER. This is a more realistic measurement of the true RF performance since it mirrors the way the actual system operates. Chipcon recommends performing PER measurements instead of BER measurements to evaluate the performance of I EEE 802.15.4 systems. To do PER measurements, the following may be used as a guideline:
- A valid preamble, SFD and length field must be used for each packet.
- The PSDU (see Figure 45 on page 173) length should be 20 bytes for sensitivity measurements as specified by [1].
- The sensitivity limit specified by [1] is the RF level resulting in a 1% PER. The packet sample space for a given measurement must then be >> 100 to have a sufficiently large sample space. E.g. at least 1000 packets should be used to measure the sensitivity.
- The data transmitted over air must be spread according to [1] and the description on page 165. Pre- generated packets may be used, although [1] requires that the PER is averaged over random PSDU data.
- The CC2430 receive FIFO may be used to buffer data received during PER measurements, since it is able to buffer up to 128 bytes.
- The MDMCTRL1H.CORR_THR control register should be set to 20, as described in the Demodulator, Symbol Synchronizer and Data Decision section. The simplest way of making a PER measurement will be to use another CC2430 as the reference transmitter. However, this makes it difficult to measure the exact receiver performance. Using a signal generator, this may either be set up as O-QPSK with half-sine shaping or as MSK. If using O-QPSK, the phases must be selected according to [1]. If using MSK, the chip sequence must be modified such that the modulated MSK signal has the same phase shifts as the O- QPSK sequence previously defined. For a desired symbol sequence s 0, s1, … , sn-1 of length n symbols, the desired chip sequence c0, c1, c2, …, c 32n-1 of length 32n is found using table lookup from Table 42 on page 165. It can be seen from comparing the phase shifts of the O-QPSK signal with the frequency of a MSK signal that the MSK chip sequence is generated as: 0 xnor c 1), (c 1 xor c 2), (c 2 xnor c 3), … , (c32n-1 xor c 32n) where c 32n may be arbitrarily selected.
14.32 PCB Layout Recommendation
A two layer PCB is highly recommended. In Chipcon’s reference design, the top layer is used for signal routing, and the open areas are filled with metallization connected to ground using several vias. The area under the chip is used for grounding and must be well connected to the ground plane with several vias. The ground pins should be connected to ground as close as possible to the package pin using individual vias. The de- coupling capacitors should also be placed as close as possible to the supply pins and connected to the ground plane by separate vias. Supply power filtering is very important.
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 189 of 232 The external components should be as small as possible (0402 is recommended) and surface mount devices must be used. If using any external high-speed digital devices, caution should be used when placing these in order to avoid interference with the RF circuitry. A Development Kit, CC2430DK, with a fully assembled Evaluation Module is available. It is strongly advised that this reference layout is followed very closely in order to obtain the best performance. The schematic, BOM and layout Gerber files for the reference designs are all available from the Chipcon website.
14.33 Antenna Considerations
CC2430 can be used together with various types of antennas. A differential antenna like a dipole would be the easiest to interface not needing a balun (balanced to un-balanced transformation network). The length of the λ/2-dipole antenna is given by: L = 14250 / f where f is in MHz, giving the length in cm. An antenna for 2450 MHz should be 5.8 cm. Each arm is therefore 2.9 cm. Other commonly used antennas for short- range communication are monopole, helical and loop antennas. The single- ended monopole and helical would require a balun network between the differential output and the antenna. Monopole antennas are resonant antennas with a length corresponding to one quarter of the electrical wavelength λ/4). They are very easy to design and can be implemented simply as a “piece of wire” or even integrated into the PCB. The length of the λ/4-monopole antenna is given by: L = 7125 / f where f is in MHz, giving the length in cm. An antenna for 2450 MHz should be 2.9 cm. Non-resonant monopole antennas shorter than λ/4 can also be used, but at the expense of range. In size and cost critical applications such an antenna may very well be integrated into the PCB. Enclosing the antenna in high dielectric constant material reduces the overall size of the antenna. Many vendors offer such antennas intended for PCB mounting. Helical antennas can be thought of as a combination of a monopole and a loop antenna. They are a good compromise in size critical applications. Helical antennas tend to be more difficult to optimize than the simple monopole. Loop antennas are easy to integrate into the PCB, but are less effective due to difficult impedance matching because of their very low radiation resistance. For low power applications the differential antenna is recommended giving the best range and because of its simplicity. The antenna should be connected as close as possible to the IC. If the antenna is located away from the RF pins the antenna should be matched to the feeding transmission line (50 Ω).
14.34 CSMA/CA Strobe Processor
The Command Strobe/CSMA-CA Processor (CSP) provides the control interface between the CPU and the Radio module in the CC2430. The CSP interfaces with the CPU through the SFR register RFST and the RF registers CSPX, CSPY, CSPZ, CSPT and CSPCTRL. The CSP produces interrupt requests to the CPU. In addition the CSP interfaces with the MAC Timer by observing MAC Timer overflow events. The CSP allows the CPU to issue command strobes to the radio thus controlling the operation of the radio. The CSP has two modes of operation as follows, which are described below.
- Immediate Command Strobe execution.
- Program execution
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 190 of 232 Immediate Command Strobes are written as an Immediate Command Strobe instruction to the CSP which are issued instantly to the Radio module. The Immediate Command Strobe instruction is also used only to control the CSP. The Immediate Command Strobe instructions are described in section 1.1.1. Program execution mode means that the CSP executes a sequence of instructions, from a program memory or instruction memory, thus consti tuting a short user- defined program. The available instructions are from a set of 14 instructions. The instruction set is defined in section 1.1.1. The required program is first loaded into the CSP by the CPU, then the CPU instructs the CSP to start executing the program. The program execution mode together with the MAC Timer allows the CSP to automate CSMA-CA algorithms and thus act as a co-processor for the CPU. The operation of the CSP is described in detail in the following sections. The command strobes and other instructions supported by the CSP are given in section 14.34.8 on page 194. Example programs for the CSP are shown in section 14.34.9 on page 201. RFST (0xE1) – RF CSMA-CA / Strobe Processor Bit Name Reset R/W Description 7:0 INSTR[7:0] 0xC0 R/W Data written to this register will be written to the CSP instruction memory. Reading th is register will return the CSP instruction currently being executed.
14.34.1 Instruction Memory
The CSP executes single byte program instructions which are read from a 24 byte instruction memory. The instruction memory is written to sequentially through the SFR register RFST. An instruction write pointer is maintained within the CSP to hold the location within the instruction memory where the next instruction written to RFST will be stored. Following a reset the write pointer is reset to location 0. During each RFST register write, the write pointer will be incremented by 1 until the end of memory is reached when the write pointer will stop incrementing. The first instruction written to RFST will be stored in location 0, the location where program execution starts. Thus a complete 24 instruction program is written to the instruction memory by writing each instruction in the desired order to the RFST register. The write pointer may be reset to 0 by writing the immediate command strobe instruction ISSTOP. In addition the write pointer will be reset to 0 when the command strobe SSTOP is executed in a program. Following a reset, the instruction memory is filled with SNOP (No Operation) instructions (opcode value 0xC0). While the CSP is executing a program, there shall be no attempts to write instructions to the instruction memory by writing to RFST. Failure to observe this rule can lead to incorrect program execution and corrupt instruction memory contents. However, Immediate Command Strobe instructions may be written to RFST (see section 14.34.3).
14.34.2 Data Registers
The CSP has three data registers CSPT, CSPX, CSPY and CSPZ, which are read/write accessible for the CPU as RF registers. These registers are read or modified by some instructions, thus allowing the CPU to set parameters to be used by a CSP program or allowing the CPU to read CSP program status. The CSPT data register is not modified by any instruction. The CSPT data register is used to set a MAC Timer overflow compare value. Once program execution has started on the CSP, the contents of this register is decremented by 1 each time the MAC timer overflows. When CSPT
CC2430 PRELIMINARY Data Sheet (rev. 1.03) SWRS036A Page 191 of 232 reaches zero, program execution is halted and the interrupt IRQ_CSP_STOP is asserted. The CSPT register will not be decremented if the CPU writes 0xFF to this register. Note: If the CSPT register compare function is not used, this register must be set to 0xFF before the program execution is started.
14.34.3 Program Execution
After the instruction memory has been filled, program execution is started by writing the immediate command strobe instruction ISSTART to the RFST register. The program execution will continue until either the instruction at last location has been executed, the CSPT data register contents is zero, a SSTOP instruction has been executed, an immediate ISSTOP instruction is written to RFST or until a SKIP instruction returns a location beyond the last location in the instruction memory. Immediate Command Strobe instructions may be written to RFST while a program is being executed. In this case the Immediate instruction will bypass the instruction in the instruction memory, which will be completed once the Immediate instruction has been completed. During program execution, reading RFST will return the current instruction being executed. An exception to this is the execution of immediate command strobes, during which RFST will return C0h.
14.34.4 Interrupt Requests
The CSP has three interrupts flags which can produce the RF interrupt vector. These are the following:
- IRQ_CSP_STOP: asserted when the processor has executed the last instruction in memory and when the processor stops due to a SSTOP or ISSTOP instruction or CSPT register equal zero.
- IRQ_CSP_WT: asserted when the processor continues executing the next instruction after a WAIT W or WAITX instruction.
- IRQ_CSP_INT: asserted when the processor executes an INT instruction.
14.34.5 Random Number Instruction
There will be a delay in the update of the random number used by the RANDXY instruction. Therefore if an instruction, RANDXY, that uses this value is issued immediately after a previous RANDXY instruction, the random value read may be the same in both cases.
14.34.6 Running CSP Programs
The basic flow for loading and running a program on the CSP is shown in Figure 56. When program execution stops due to end of program the current program remains in program memory so that the same program can be run again by starting execution once again with the ISSTART command. However, when program execution is stopped by the SSTOP or ISTOP instruction, the program memory will be cleared.

14.34.7 Instruction Set Summary
This section gives an overview of the instruction set. This is intended as a summary and definition of instruction opcodes. Refer to section 14.34.8 for a description of each instruction. Each instruction consists of one byte which is written to the RFST register to be stored in the instruction memory. The Immediate Strobe instructions (ISxxx) are not used in a program. When these instructions are written to the RFST register, they are executed immediately. If the CSP is already executing a program the current instruction will be delayed until the Immediate Strobe instruction has completed. For undefined opcodes, the behavior of the CSP is defined as a No Operation Strobe Command (SNOP).

The CC2430 includes two low drop-out voltage regulators. These are used to provide a 1.8 V power supply to the CC2430 analog and digital power supplies. Note: The voltage regulators should not be used to provide power to external circuits because of limited power sourcing capability and also due to noise considerations. The analog voltage regulator input pin AVDD_RREG is to be connected to the unregulated 2.0 to 3.6 V power supply. The regulated 1.8 V voltage output to the analog parts, is available on the RREG_OUT pin. The digital regulator input pin AVDD_DREG is also to be connected to the unregulated 2.0 to 3.6 V power supply. The output of the digital regulator is connected internally within the CC2430 to the digital power supply. The voltage regulators require external components as described in section 11 on page 29.
16.1 Voltage Regulators Power-on
The analog voltage regulator is disabled by setting the RF register bit RFPWR.RREG_RADIO_PD to 1. When the analog voltage regulator is powered-on by clearing the RFPWR.RREG_RADIO_PD bit, there will be a delay before the regulator is enabled. This delay is programmable through the RFPWR RF register. The interrupt flag RFIF.IRQ_RREG_PD is set when the delay has expired. The delayed power-on can also be observed by polling the RF register bit RFPWR.ADI_RADIO_PD. The digital voltage regulator is disabled when the CC2430 is placed in power modes PM2 or PM3 (see section 13.10). When the voltage regulators are disabled, register and RAM contents will be retained while the unregulated 2.0 to 3.6 power supply is present.
17 Evaluation Software
Chipcon provides users of CC2430 with a software program, SmartRF ® Studio, which may be used for radio performance and functionality evaluation. SmartRF ® Studio runs on Microsoft Windows 95/98 and Microsoft Windows NT/XP/2000. SmartRF ® Studio can be downloaded from Chipcon’s web page: http://www.chipcon.com
