    The external shunt capacitors are calculated as two identical capacitors in series plus the stray capacitance of the TRF7964A and parasitic PCB capacitance in parallel to the crystal. The parasitic capacitance (C , stray and parasitic PCB capacitance) can be estimated at 4 to 5 pF (typical).
  • Page 25: Transmitter - Analog Section

    External control of the transmit modulation depth is possible by setting the ISO Control register (0x01) to direct mode. While operating the TRF7964A in direct mode, the transmit modulation is made possible by selecting the modulation type ASK or OOK at pin 12. External control of the modulation type is made possible only if enabled by setting B6 in the Modulator and SYS_CLK Control register (0x09) to 1.
  • Page 26: Transmitter - Digital Section

    The digital part of the transmitter is a mirror of the receiver. The settings controlled the ISO Control register (0x01) are applied to the transmitter just like the receiver. In the TRF7964A default mode the TRF7964A automatically adds these special signals: start of communication, end of communication, SOF, EOF, parity bits, and CRC bytes.

    When the SPI interface is selected, the unused I/O_2, I/O_1, and I/O_0 pins must be hard-wired as shown Table 6-9. At power up, the TRF7964A samples the status of these three pins and then enters one of the possible SPI modes.

Meanwhile, the byte counter keeps track of the number of bytes being transmitted.
