1 General Description

RFM73P-S2 is a GFSK transceiver module operating in the world wide ISM frequency band at 2400 - 2483.5 MHz. Burst mode transmission and up to 2Mbps air data rate make them suitable for applications requiring ultra l ow p ower consumption.The embedded packet processing engines enable their full operation with a very simple MCU as a radio system.Auto re-transmission and auto acknowledge give reliable link without any MCU interference. RFM73P-S2 operates in TDD mode, either as a transmitter or as a receiver. The RF channel frequency determines the center of the channel used by RFM73P-S2. The frequency is set by the RF_CH register in register bank 0 acc ording to t he following formula: F0= 2400 + RF_CH (MHz). The resolution of the RF channel frequency is 1MHz. A transmitter and a receiver must be programmed with the same RF channel frequency to be able to communicate with each other. The output power of RFM73P-S2 is set by the RF_PWR bits in the RF_SETUP register. Demodulation is done with embedded data slicer and bit recovery logic. The air data rate can be programmed to 1Mbps or 2Mbps by RF_DR register. A transmitter and a receiver must be programmed with the same setting. In the following chapters, all registers are in register bank 0 except with explicit claim.

4.2 Power Down Mode

In power down mode RFM73P-S2 is in sleep mode with minimal current consumption. SPI interface is still active in this mode, and all register values are a vailable by SPI. Power down mode is entered by setting the PWR_UP bit in the CONFIG register to low.

4.3 Standby-I Mode

By setting the PWR_UP bit in the CONFIG register to 1 and de-asserting CE to 0, the device enters standby-I mode. Standby-I mode is used to minimize average current consumption while maintaining short start-up time. In this mode, part of the crystal oscillator is a ctive. This is also the mode which the RFM73P-S2 returns to from TX or RX mode when CE is set low.

4.4 Standby-II Mode

In standby-II mode more clock buffers are active than in standby-I mode and much more current is u sed. Standby-II occurs when CE is held high on a PTX device with empty TX FIFO. If a new packet is uploaded to the TX FIFO in this mode, the device will automatically enter TX mode and t he packet is transmitted.

4.5 TX Mode

PTX device (PRIM_RX=0) The TX mode is an active mode where the PTX device transmits a packet. To enter this mode from power down mode, the PTX device must have the PWR_UP bit set high, PRIM_RX bit set low, a payload in the TX FIFO, and a high pulse on the CE for more than 10µ s. RFM73P-S2 V2.0 Tel: +86-755-82973805 Fax: +86-755-82973550 E -mail: sales@hoperf.com http://www.hoperf.com

The PTX device stays in TX mode until it finishes transmitting the current packet. If CE = 0 it returns to standby-I mode. If CE = 1, the next action is determined by the status of the TX FIFO. If the TX FIFO is not empty the PTX device remains in TX mode, transmitting the next packet. If the TX FIFO is empty the PTX device goes into standby-II mode. If the auto retransmit is enabled (EN_AA=1) and auto acknowledge is required (NO_ACK=0), the PTX device will enter TX mode from standby-I mode when ARD elapsed and number of retried is le ss than ARC.

PRX device (PRIM_RX=1) The PRX device will enter TX mode from RX mode only when EN_AA=1 and NO_ACK=0 in received packet to transmit acknowledge packet with pending payload in TX FIFO.

4.6 RX Mode

PRX device (PRIM_RX=1) The RX mode is an a ctive mode where the RFM73P-S2 radio is c onfigured to be a receiver. To enter this mode from standby-I mode, the PRX device must have the PWR_UP bit set high, PRIM_RX bit set high and the CE pin

5 Packet Processing

set high. Or PRX device can enter this mode from TX mode after transmitting an acknowledge packet when EN_AA=1 and NO_ACK=0 in received packet. In this mode the receiver demodulates the signals from the RF c hannel, constantly presenting the demodulated data to the packet processing engine. The packet processing engine continuously searches for a valid packet. If a valid packet is found (by a matching address and a valid CRC) the payload of the packet is presented in a vacant slot in the RX FIFO. If the RX FIFO is full, the received packet is discarded. The PRX device remains in RX mode until the MCU configures it to standby-I mode or power down mode. In RX mode a carrier detection (CD) signal is available. The CD is set to high when a RF signal is detected inside the receiving frequency channel. The internal CD signal is filtered before presented to CD register. The RF signal must be present for at least 128 µ s before the CD is set high.

PTX device (PRIM_RX=0) The PTX device will enter RX mode from TX mode only when EN_AA=1 and NO_ACK=0 to receive acknowledge packet.

5.1 Packet Format

The packet format has a preamble, address, packet control, payload and CRC field. Preamble 1 byte Address 3~5 byte Packet Control 9/0 bit Payload 0~32 byte CRC 2/1 byte Payload Length 6 bit PID 2 bit NO_ACK 1 bit Figure 5 Packet Format RFM73P-S2 V2.0 Tel: +86-755-82973805 Fax: +86-755-82973550 E -mail: sales@hoperf.com http://www.hoperf.com

5.1.1 Preamble

The preamble is a bit sequence used to detect 0 and 1 levels in the receiver. The preamble is one byte long and is either 01010101 or 10101010. If the first bit in the address is 1 the preamble is automatically set to 10101010 and if the first bit is 0 the preamble is automatically set to 01010101. This is done to ensure there are enough transitions in the preamble to stabilize the receiver.

5.1.2 Address

This is the address for the receiver. An address ensures that the packet is detected by the target receiver. The address field can be configured to be 3, 4, or 5 bytes long by the AW register. The PRX device can open up to six data pipes to support up to six PTX devices with unique addresses. All six PTX device addresses are searched simultaneously. In PRX side, the data pipes are enabled with the bits in the EN_RXADDR register. By default only data pipe 0 and 1 are enabled. Each data pipe address is configured in the RX_ADDR_PX registers. Each pipe can have up to 5 bytes configurable address. Data pipe 0 has a unique 5 byte address. Data pipes 1-5 share the 4 most significant address bytes. The LSB byte must be unique for all 6 pipes. To ensure that the ACK packet from the PRX is transmitted to the correct PTX, the PRX takes the data pipe address where it received the packet and uses it as the TX address when transmitting the ACK packet. On the PRX the RX_ADDR_Pn, defined as the pipe address, must be unique. On the PTX the TX_ADDR must be the same as the RX_ADDR_P0 on the PTX, and as the pipe address for the designated pipe on the PRX. No other data pipe can receive data until a complete packet is received by a data pipe that has detected its address. When multiple PTX devices are transmitting to a PRX, the ARD can be u sed to skew the auto retransmission so that they only block each other once.

5.1.3 Packet ontrol

When Dynamic Payload Length function is enabled, the packet control field contains a 6 bit payload length field, a 2 bit PID (Packet Identity) field and, a 1 bit NO_ACK flag.

Payload length The payload length field is only used if the Dynamic Payload Length function is enabled.
PID The 2 bit PID field is used to detect whether the received packet is new or retransmitted. PID prevents the PRX device from presenting the same payload more than once to the MCU. The PID field is incremented at the TX side for each new packet received through the SPI. The PID and CRC fields are used by t he PRX device to determine whether a packet is old or new. When several data packets are lost on the link, the PID fields may become equal to the last received PID. If a packet has the same PID as the previous packet, RFM73P-S2 compares the CRC sums from both packets. If the CRC sums are also equal, the last received packet is considered a copy of the previously received packet and discarded.
NO_ACK The NO_ACK flag is o nly used when the auto acknowledgement feature is used. Setting the flag high, tells the receiver that the packet is not to be auto acknowledged. The PTX can set the NO_ACK flag bit in the Packet Control Field with the command: W_TX_PAYLOAD_NOACK.However, the function must first be enabled in the FEATURE register bysetting the EN_DYN_ACK bit.

Tel: +86-755-82973805 Fax: +86-755-82973550 E -mail: sales@hoperf.com http://www.hoperf.com the PTX goes directly to standby-I mode after transmitting the packet and the PRX does not transmit an ACK packet when it receives the packet.

5.1.4 Payload

The payload is the user defined content of the packet. It can be 0 to 32 bytes wide, and it is transmitted on-air as it is uploaded (unmodified) to the device. The R FM73P-S2 provides two alternatives for handling payload lengths, static and dynamic payload length. The static payload length of each of six data pipes can be individually set. The default alternative is static payload length. With static payload length all packets between a transmitter and a receiver have the same length. Static payload length is set by the RX_PW_Px registers. The payload len gth on the transmitter side is set by the number of bytes clocked into t he TX_FIFO and must equal the value in the RX_PW_Px register on the receiver side. Each pipe has its own payload length. Dynamic Payload Length (DPL) is an alternative to static payload length. DPL enables the transmitter to send packets with variable payload length to the receiver. This means for a system with different payload lengths it is not necessary to scale the packet length to the longest payload. With DPL feature the RFM73P-S2 can decode the payload length of the received packet automatically instead of u sing the RX_PW_Px registers. The MCU can read the length of the received payload by using the command: R_RX_PL_WID. In order to enable DPL the EN_DPL bit in the FEATURE register must be set. In RX mode the D YNPD register has to be set. A PTX that transmits to a PRX with DPL enabled must have the DPL_P0 bit in DYNPD set.

5.1.5 CRC

The CRC is the error detection mechanism in the packet. The number of bytes in the CRC is set by the CRCO bit in the CONFIG register. It may be either 1 or 2 bytes and is calculated over the ad dress, Packet Control Field, and Payload. The polynomial for 1 byte CRC is X8 + X2 + X + 1. Initial value is 0xFF. The polynomial for 2 byte CRC is X16 + X12 + X5 + 1. Initial value is 0xFFFF. No packet is accepted by receiver side if the CRC fails.

5.2 Packet Handling

RFM73P-S2 uses burst mode for payload transmission and receive. The transmitter fetches payload from TX FIFO, automatically assembles it i nto packet and transmits the packet in a very short burst period with 1Mbps or 2Mbps air data rate. After transmission, if the PTX packet has the NO_ACK flag set, RFM73P-S2 sets TX_DS and gives an active low interrupt IRQ to MCU. If the PTX is ACK packet, the PTX needs receive ACK from the PRX and then asserts the TX_DS IRQ. The receiver automatically validates and disassembles received packet, if there is a valid packet within the new payload, it will write the payload into RX FIFO, set RX_DR and give an active low interrupt IRQ to MCU. When auto acknowledge is enabled (EN_AA=1), the PTX device will automatically wait for acknowledge packet after transmission, and re-transmit original packet with the d elay of ARD until an acknowledge packet is received or the number of re-transmission exceeds a threshold ARC. If the later one h appens, RFM73P-S2 will set MAX_RT and give an active low interrupt RFM73P-S2 V2.0

Tel: +86-755-82973805 Fax: +86-755-82973550 E -mail: sales@hoperf.com http://www.hoperf.com IRQ to MCU. Two packet loss counters (ARC_CNT and PLOS_CNT) are incremented each time a packet is l ost. The ARC_CNT counts the nu mber of retransmissions for the current transaction. The PLOS_CNT counts the total n umber of retransmissions since the last channel change. ARC_CNT is reset by initiating a new transaction. PLOS_CNT is reset by writing to the RF_CH register. It is possible to use the information in the OBSERVE_TX register to make an overall assessment of the channel quality. The PTX device will retransmit if its RX FIFO is full but received ACK frame has payload. As an alternative for PTX device to auto retransmit it is possible to manually set the RFM73P-S2 to retransmit a packet a number of times. This is done by t he REUSE_TX_PL command. When a uto acknowledge is enabled, the PRX device will automatically check the NO_ACK field in received packet, and if NO_ACK=0, it will automatically send an acknowledge packet to PTX device. If EN_ACK_PAY is set, and the a cknowledge packet can also include pending payload in TX FIFO.

6 Data and Control Interface

6.1 TX/RX FIFO

The data FIFOs are used to store payload that is to be transmitted (TX FIFO) or payload that is received and ready to be clocked out (RX FIFO). The FIFO is accessible in both PTX mode and PRX mode. There are three levels 32 bytes FIFO for both TX and RX, supporting both acknowledge mode or no acknowledge mode with up to six pipes.

TX three levels, 32 byte FIFO
RX three levels, 32 byte FIFO Both FIFOs have a controller and are accessible through the SPI by u sing dedicated SPI commands. A TX FIFO in PRX can store payload for ACK packets to three different PTX devices. If the TX FIFO contains more than one payload to a pipe, payloads are handled using the first in first out principle. The TX FIFO in a PRX is blocked if all pending payloads are addressed to pipes where the link to the PTX is lost. In this case, the MCU can flush the TX FIFO by using the FLUSH_TX command. The RX FIFO in PRX may contain payload from up to three different PTX devices. A TX FIFO in PTX can have up to three payloads stored. The TX FIFO can be written to by three commands, W_TX_PAYLOAD and W_TX_PAYLOAD_NO_ACK in PTX mode and W_ACK_PAYLOAD in PRX mode. All three commands give access to the TX_PLD register. The RX FIFO can be read by the command R_RX_PAYLOAD in both PTX and PRX mode. This command gives access to the RX_PLD register. The payload in TX FIFO in a PTX is NOT removed if the MAX_RT IRQ is asserted. In the FIFO_STATUS register it is possible to read if the TX and RX FIFO are full or empty. The TX_REUSE bit is also available in the FIFO_STATUS register. TX_REUSE is set by the SPI command REUSE_TX_PL, and is reset by the SPI command: W_TX_PAYLOAD or FLUSH TX.

6.2 Interrupt

In RFM73P-S2 there is an active low interrupt (IRQ) pin, which is activated when TX_DS IRQ, RX_DR IRQ or MAX_RT IRQ are set high by the state machine in the STATUS register. The IRQ pin resets when MCU writes '1' to the IRQ source bit in the STATUS register. The IRQ mask in the CONFIG RFM73P-S2 V2.0

Tel: +86-755-82973805 Fax: +86-755-82973550 E -mail: sales@hoperf.com http://www.hoperf.com register is used to select the IRQ sources that are allowed to assert the IRQ pin. By setting one of the MASK bits high, the corresponding IRQ source is disabled. By default all IRQ sources are enabled. The 3 bit pipe information in the STATUS register is updated during the IRQ pin high to low transition. If the STATUS register is read during an IRQ pin high to low transition, the pipe information is unreliable.

6.3 SPI Interface

6.3.1 SPI Command

The SPI commands are shown in Table 2. Every new command must be started by a high to low transition on CSN. In parallel to the SPI command word applied on t he MOSI pin, the STATUS register is shifted serially out on the MISO pin. The serial shifting SPI commands is in the following format:

<Command word: MSB bit to LSB bit (one byte)>
<Data bytes: LSB byte to MSB byte, MSB bit in each byte first> for all registers at bank 0 a nd register 9 to register 14 at bank 1
<Data bytes: MSB byte to LSB byte, MSB bit in each byte first> for register 0 to register 8 at bank 1 Command name Command word (binary) # Data bytes Operation R_REGISTER 000A AAAA 1 to 5 LSB byte first Read command and status registers. AAAAA = 5 bit Register Map Address W_REGISTER 001A AAAA 1 to 5 LSB byte first Write command and status registers. AAAAA = 5 bit Register Map Address Executable in power down or standby modes only. R_RX_PAYLOAD 0110 0001 1 to 32 LSB byte first Read RX-payload: 1 – 32 bytes. A read operation always starts at byte 0. Payload is deleted from FIFO after it is read. Used in RX mode. W_TX_PAYLOAD 1010 0000 1 to 32 LSB byte first Write TX-payload: 1 – 32 bytes. A write operation always starts at byte 0 used in TX payload.

REUSE_TX_PL 1110 0011 Used for a PTX device Reuse last transmitted payload. Packets are repeatedly retransmitted as long as CE is high. TX payload reuse is active until W_TX_PAYLOAD or FLUSH TX is executed. TX payload reuse must not be activated or deactivated during package transmission RFM73P-S2 V2.0

The R_RX_PL_WID, W_ACK_PAYLOAD, and W_TX_PAYLOAD_NOACK features registers are initially in a deactivated state; a write has no effect, a read only results in zeros on MISO. To activate these registers, use the ACTIVATE command followed by data 0x73. Then they can be accessed as any other register. Use the same command and data to deactivate the registers again.

11 Solder Information

 Solder Method: Not supported reflow soldering, recommend to use hand solder .  The Selection of Soldering tools  The Selection of Soldering Materials According to both our soldering experiment and customers ’ feedback, we don’t find that it results in obvious effect on soldering and products ’ fuctions by using open soldering pens(i.e. common soldering pens without closed-loop temperature control). However, considering the requirements of lead -free soldering and its productivity improvement, we suggest that you should use thermostatic soldering pen with closed-loop temperature control and select appropriate solder t ip. Please kindly note that big solder tips, according to the feedback from customers, obviously bring about low efficiency of soldering and increase the possibility of short - circuit. ——Sn96.5%/Ag3.0%/Cu0.5% ——Sn96.5%/Ag3.5% The wireless modules we provide are green products in complete accordance with the lead -free requirement; therefore, we suggest you should use environment -friendly lead -free soldering tin. We recommend two alloyed soldering tins as below to match the no - clean rosin(core and additive rosin): ——Sn96.5%/Ag3.0%/Cu0.5% ——Sn96.5%/Ag3.5% RFM73P-S2 V2.0
