Table 4-1 Signal Descriptions

TERMINAL TYPE (1) DESCRIPTION
NO. NAME
1 VDD_A OUT Internal regulated supply (2.7 V to 3.4 V) for analog circuitry
2 VIN SUP External supply input to chip (2.7 V to 5.5 V)
3 VDD_RF OUT Internal regulated supply (2.7 V to 5 V); normally connected to VDD_PA (pin 4)
4 VDD_PA INP Supply for PA; normally connected externally to VDD_RF (pin 3)
5 TX_OUT OUT RF output (selectable output power: 100 mW or 200 mW, with VDD = 5 V)
6 VSS_PA SUP Negative supply for PA; normally connected to circuit ground
7 VSS_RX SUP Negative supply for receive inputs; normally connected to circuit ground
8 RX_IN1 INP Main receive input
9 RX_IN2 INP Auxiliary receive input
10 VSS SUP Chip substrate ground
11 BAND_GAP OUT Bandgap voltage (VBG = 1.6 V); internal analog voltage reference
12 ASK/OOK BID Selection between ASK and OOK modulation (0 = ASK, 1 = OOK) for direct mode 0 and 1.

It can be configured as an output to provide the received analog signal output.
13 IRQ OUT Interrupt request
14 MOD INP External data modulation input for direct mode 0 or 1
OUT Subcarrier digital data output (see register 0x1A and 0x1B definitions)
15 VSS_A SUP Negative supply for internal analog circuits. Connected to GND.
16 VDD_I/O INP Supply for I/O communications (1.8 V to VIN) level shifter. VIN should be never exceeded.
17 I/O_0 BID I/O pin for parallel communication
18 I/O_1 BID I/O pin for parallel communication

23 I/O_6 BID I/O pin for parallel communication

MISO for serial communication (SPI)

Serial bit data output in direct mode 1 or subcarrier signal in direct mode 0
24 I/O_7 BID I/O pin for parallel communication.

MOSI for serial communication (SPI)
25 EN2 INP Selection of power down mode. If EN2 is connected to VIN, then VDD_X is active during power down mode 2 (for example, to supply the MCU).
26 DATA_CLK INP Data clock input for MCU communication (parallel and serial)
27 SYS_CLK OUT If EN = 1 (EN2 = don't care) the system clock for the MCU is configured with register 0x09 (off, 3.39 MHz, 6.78 MHz, or 13.56 MHz).

If EN = 0 and EN2 = 1, the system clock is set to 60 kHz.
28 EN INP Chip enable input (if EN = 0, then the chip is in sleep or power-down mode)

31 OSC_IN INP Crystal or oscillator input
32 VDD_X OUT Internally regulated supply (2.7 V to 3.4 V) for digital circuit and external devices (for example, an MCU)
PAD PAD SUP Chip substrate ground
