5.2 Clocks and TIMERS

5.2.1 Clocks

The integrated high accuracy (+/-20ppm) 32.768kHz crystal oscillator provides protocol timing and helps with
Radio power consumption in the system Standby Doze /Deep sleep modes by reducing the time that the RX
window needs to be open. Standard accuracy clocks tend to have lower accuracy +/-250 ppm.
The integrated high accuracy 16 MHz (+/-10ppm) crystal oscillator helps with Radio operation and also helps
reduce power consumption in the Active modes.

5.2.2 TIMERS

In keeping with the event driven paradigm of
applications to be written which allow future events to be generated based on timeouts.
Regular Timer: There are 8 built-in timers (regular timer) derived from a single RTC clock which are controlled
smart
solely by BASIC functions. The resolution of the regular timer is 976 microseconds.
Tick Timer is a 31 bit free running counter that increments every 1 millisecond. The resolution of this counter
is 488 microseconds. This counter can be accessed using the functions GetTickCount() and GetTickSince().

5.5 UART Interface

The Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter offers fast, full-duplex, asynchronous serial communication
with built-in flow control support (UART_CTS, UART_RTS) in HW up to 1 Mbps baud. Parity checking and
generation for the 9th data bit are supported.
UART_TX, UART_RX, UART_RTS, and UART_CTS form a conventional asynchronous serial data port with
handshaking. The interface is designed to operate correctly when connected to other UART devices such as
the 16550A. The signalling levels are nominal 0 V and 3.3 V (tracks VCC) and are inverted with respect to the
signalling on an RS232 cable.
