PRODUCTION DATA.
The RF output power from the device is programmable by the 8-bit PA_POWER register. Figure 5-20 and Figure 5-21 show the output power and total current consumption as a function of the PA_POWER register setting. It is more efficient in terms of current consumption to use either the lower or upper 4-bits in the register to control the power, as shown in Figure 5-20 and Figure 5-21. However, the output power can be controlled in finer steps using all the available bits in the PA_POWER register.
