The microcontroller will send instructions to CC2520 and it is the responsibility of the instruction decoder to execute the instructions or pass them on to other modules. The execution of an instruction or external events (e.g. reception of a frame) may result in one or more exceptions. The exceptions provide a very flexible mechanism for automating tasks. They can for instance be used to trigger execution of other instructions or they can be routed out to GPIO pins and used as interrupt signals to the microcontroller. The exception controller is responsible for handling of the exceptions. 26 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 The microcontroller will typically be connected to one or more of the GPIO pins. The function of each pin is independently controlled by the IO module based on register settings. It is possible to observe a large number of internal signals on the GPIO pins. The GPIO pins can also be configured as inputs and used to trigger the execution of certain instructions. This would typically be used when the microcontroller needs to precisely control the timing of an instruction. The RAM module contains memory which is used for receive and transmit FIFOs (in fixed address ranges) and temporary storage for other data. There are separate instructions for general memory access and FIFO access. The data processing unit (DPU) is responsible for execution of the more advanced instructions. The DPU includes an AES core, which is used while executing the security instructions. Memory management (copying, incrementing etc.) is also performed by the DPU. The Clock/Reset module generates the internal clocks and reset signals. The RF core contains several submodules that support and control the analog radio modules. The FSM submodule controls the RF transceiver state, the transmitter and receiver FIFOs and most of the dynamically controlled analog signals such as power up / down of analog modules. The FSM is used to provide the correct sequencing of events (such as performing an FS calibration before enabling the receiver). Also, it provides step by step processing of incoming frames from the demodulator: reading the frame length, counting the number of bytes received, checks the FCS, and finally, optionally handles automatic transmission of ACK frames after successful frame reception. It performs similar tasks in TX including performing an optional CCA before transmission and automatically going to RX after the end of transmission to receive an ACK frame. Finally, the FSM controls the transfer of data between modulator/demodulator and the TXFIFO/RXFIFO in RAM. The modulator transforms raw data into I/Q signals to the transmitter DAC. This is done in compliance with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The demodulator is responsible for retrieving the sent data from the received signal. The amplitude information from the demodulator is used by the automatic gain control (AGC). The AGC adjusts the gain of the analog LNA so that the signal level within the receiver is approximately constant.. The frame filtering and source matching supports the FSM in RF_core by performing all operations needed in order to do frame filtering and source address matching, as defined by IEEE 802.15.4. The xosc module interfaces the crystal which is connected to the XOSC32M_Q1 and XOSC32M_Q2 pins. The xosc module generates a clock for the digital part and RF system, and implements the programmable crystal frequency tuning. The BIAS module generates voltage and current references. It relies on a high precision (1%) 56k external resistor which is shown in the application circuit in Figure 3. The TX DACs convert the digital baseband signal to analog signals. After LPF the signal is fed to the TXMIX module, which is an up-converting complex mixer. The PA amplifies the RF signal up to a maximum of ~5dBm during TX. The LNA amplifies the received RF signal. The gain is controlled by the digital AGC module so that optimum sensitivity and interferer rejection is achieved. The RXMIX module is a complex down-mixer that converts the RF signal to a baseband signal. A passive anti-aliasing filter (AAF) low pass filters the signal after down mixing. The low pass filtered I and Q signals and digitized by the ADC.

When using an unbalanced antenna such as a monopole, a balun should be used in order to optimize performance. The balun can be implemented using low-cost discrete inductors and capacitors only or in combination with transmission lines replacing the discrete inductors. Figure 4 shows the balun implemented in a two-layer reference design. It consists of three transmission lines (L1, L2 and L3) and the discrete components C191, C171, C192, C173 and C174.

A high precision (1%) 56k resistor should be used. 9.3 Crystal An external 32MHz crystal with two loading capacitors (C121 and C131) is used for the crystal oscillator. It is possible to feed a single-ended signal to the XOSC32M_Q1 pin and thus not use a crystal. 9.4 Digital Voltage Regulator The on chip voltage regulator supplies 1.8 V to the digital part of CC2520. C271 is a decoupling capacitor for the voltage regulator. Note that this should not be used to provide power to other IC's. 9.5 Power Supply Decoupling and Filtering Proper power supply decoupling must be used for optimum performance. This is shown as a lumped capacitor C1 in Figure 4. The placement and size of the decoupling capacitors and the power supply filtering are very important to achieve the best performance in an application. TI provides a compact reference design that should be followed very closely. 9.6 Board Layout Guidelines It is highly recommended to copy the board layout from the reference design [5]. * * * * 30 It is recommended to use star topology for the power supplies to CC2520. The power supply decoupling capacitor C1 is a lumped component. On the actual board layout there should be separate decoupling capacitors as close to each of the power pins as possible. The balun is highly layout sensitive. The inductors in Figure 4 are actually transmission lines embedded in the PCB and their values must be adapted according to the board layout. The values of the capacitors C192, C172, C173 and C174 must also be adapted to the actual board layout. The GPIO pins can be configured to use internal pull-up resistors. They are not enabled after a reset or in LPM2. Remember to take the default GPIO configuration into consideration when connecting these signals, because there will be some time before the MCU is able to change the configuration. In LPM2 GPIO5 (which is configured as an input) should be connected to either WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 * * * * 9.7 ground or VDD. The other GPIO pins should be grounded or high impedance. Failing to do this, will result in significantly higher current consumption than necessary. The SO pin is configured as an input when CSn is high or the device is in reset or LPM2. This makes it possible to connect multiple SPI slaves to one SPI master. This pin should not be left floating when in LPM2, as this will draw more current than necessary. If the voltage level can not be controlled in any other way, use a 1MOhm pull-down resistor. The crystal input lines should be routed as far away from each other as practically possible. The NC pins can be left floating. Glitches on the digital inputs may create serious issues in a system design. The digital input pads have Schmitt-triggers to help make them less sensitive to glitches, but the board layout should still avoid routing the digital input lines close to other noisy signals. Antenna Considerations The reference design contains two antenna options. As default, the SMA connector is connected to the balun through a 0 resistor. This resistor can be soldered off and rotated 90 clockwise in order to connect to the PCB antenna, which is a planar inverted F antenna (PIFA). Note that all testing and characterization has been done using the SMA connector. The PCB antenna has only been functionally tested by establishing a link between two EMs. In our experiment, the PCB antenna gave approximately the same range as when using an antenna connected to the SMA connector. Please refer to the antenna selection guide [12] and the Inverted F antenna app note [11] for further details. 9.8 Choosing the Most Suitable Interconnection with a Microcontroller * * * * * Connect the 4 SPI signals; CSn, SCLK, SI and SO to the microcontroller. These signals are required in order to configure CC2520 and exchange data with it. Connect RESETn to the microcontroller. Using the RESETn signal is the recommended way to reset CC2520 for instance after powering up. If saving a pin is critical, the RESETn pin can be connected to VDD. The CC2520 can still be reset with the SRES command strobe. This will also require a manual start of the crystal oscillator by issuing a SXOSCON command strobe. Connecting VREG_EN to the microcontroller will make it possible to put CC2520 into LPM2 to save power. VREG_EN may be connected to VDD and thus always leave the regulator on. If power saving is not important in the target application, this may be an acceptable way of saving a pin. Connecting one or more of the GPIOs to the microcontroller is optional. The number of GPIOs to connect depends on the application. Connecting more GPIOs to the microcontroller generally gives more flexibility and less SPI traffic because it reduces the need to keep reconfiguring the GPIOs for different uses. If CC2520 will be providing clock to the microcontroller, GPIO0 should be connected to the clock input of the microcontroller. After reset, GPIO0 will output a 1MHz clock signal with 50/50 duty cycle. The digital IO of CC2520 is described in more detail from section 12. 9.9 Interfacing CC2520 and MSP430F2618 The MSP430F2618 is well suited for use with the CC2520. The suggested interfacing of these two chips is given in Table 5. The interconnections shown in Table 6 are exactly the same as is used in the CC2520 development kit [5].

The CC2520 4-wire slave interface consists of three input signals (CSn, SCLK and SI) and one output signal (SO). In section 15 all instructions available via the SPI interface are listed and described. The instructions are byte oriented and required bytes sent over the interface to CC2520 vary from 1 and up. To transfer one byte CSn must be pulled low and SCLK must complete 8 periods starting with a positive edge. There are no requirements to maximum period for SCLK or that it needs to be continuous. As long as CSn is held low, SCLK can be halted at any time and started again when desired. 10.1 CSn CSn is an input enable signal for the SPI and is controlled by the external MCU. The CSn signal is used as an asynchronous active high reset to the SPI module. CSn must be held low during all SPI operations and must also be held low for more than two periods of XOSC before the first positive edge of SCLK and more than two periods of XOSC after the last negative edge of SCLK. When CSn is high it must be held high for at least 2 periods of XOSC. CSn can be held low between SPI operations in the case where the last instruction completed has a constant number of bytes, but this will result in unnecessary power consumption since parts of the instruction controller will then be running. The instructions that have a constant number of bytes can be found in the instruction summary table in section 15.3. I.e. SRXON (1 byte) and RXMASKAND (3 bytes) has constant number of bytes and REGRD (2 bytes or more) has user controlled number of bytes indicated in the table by three dots (...) in the byte column after the last required byte of the instruction command (Byte 3 for REGRD). Instructions that have user controlled number of bytes are ended by rising CSn. Status is output as the first byte on SO during the first byte of all instructions. When instructions are transferred consecutively without rising CSn between them, the status byte on SO may not contain the correct current status. However, the status will be updated for the second byte of an instruction so i.e RXMASKAND which outputs status also during the second instruction byte will then output the correct status during the second byte. When pulling CSn low after power-up, SO outputs the internal XOSC stable signal combinatorically, so no edge on SCLK is necessary to find the XOSC stable status. In any case where CSn is pulled low and SO is low it means that XOSC is still not stable and thus there is no clock in the digital part. The maximum time from power up to XOSC should be stable is described in section 5.3. 10.2 SCLK SCLK is controlled by an external MCU and is an input clock to CC2520. SCLK is asynchronous to the internal XOSC clock in CC2520. The maximum SCLK frequency is 8 MHz. There is no minimum frequency requirement. 10.3 SI SI is the serial data input from the microcontroller to CC2520. Data shall be sent with MSB first (bit 7 in each byte of instruction commands). Data should be set up on the negative edge of SCLK and will be clocked into CC2520 by the next positive edge of SCLK. WWW.TI.COM 33 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 10.4 SO SO is serial data out from CC2520 to an external MCU. Data is clocked out on the negative edge of SCLK, so the SO signal should be sampled on the following rising edge of SCLK. MSB (bit 7 in register definitions) will be clocked out first. SO is configured as an input when CSn is high or RESETn is low. Note that the SO pin should not be left floating while in LPM1 or LPM2, as this will result in higher current consumption than necessary. 10.5 SPI Timing Requirements tsclk SCLK I CSn I tcsckh tcsnh tsclkl tsclkh tcscks tsis tsih SI I SO O 1 0 7 6 5 4 tsod 0 7 7 6 5 4 Figure 6: SPI timing relationships The following table and figure shows required timing relations between an external microcontroller and the SPI interface on CC2520.

Each GPIO has an associated register, GPIOCTRLn, where the MSB configure the pin to either input or output. The GPIOCTRL register control pull-up for each individual GPIO pin, extra drive strength for all pins and analog function for pin 0 and 1. See section 30 for details about test functionality and observability through GPIO. Note that GPIO5, which is configured as an input in LPM2, should be tied either to ground or VDD when entering LPM2. If GPIO5 (or any other input) is left floating, the current consumption will be unpredictable. 11.1 Reset Configuration of GPIO Pins The reset setting for GPIO pins are as shown in the table below. This is also the configuration that is used when the device is in LPM2. If a different GPIO setup is required, the GPIOs have to be re-configured every time CC2520 has been in LPM2. This particular reset configuration was selected so that CC2520 looks as much like CC2420 as possible.

These command strobes are a subset of all the SPI instructions available. The command strobe is triggered by applying a rising or falling edge to the GPIO pin depending on the setting in the GPIOPOLARITY register. Which command strobe the pin triggers is set by the 7 LSBs in GPIOCTRLn. Example: Set up GPIO2 to run SACK instruction on rising edge. * * Set GPIOPOLARITY[2] to `1'. GPIO pin 2 set to rising edge active. Set GPOICTRL2[7:0] to "1000 0101" . GPIO pin 2 is now an input and connected to the SACK instruction. WWW.TI.COM 35 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 11.3 GPIO as Output When a GPIO pin is configured as an output, the signal corresponding to the CTRLn setting in GPIOCTRLn register (CTRLn values are shown in Table 8 in section 12.6). The polarity of the pin is set in the GPIOPOLARITY register. Example: Set up GPIO3 to output sniff_data with active high level indication. * * Set GPIOPOLARITY[3] to `1''. GPIO pin 3 set to active high level indication. Set GPIOCTRL3[7:0] to "0011 0010". GPIO pin 3 is now an output and outputs sniff_data. 11.4 Switching Direction on GPIO When switching from output to input, care must be taken so that command strobes are not triggered unintentionally. Changing GPIOn to a command strobe triggering input (one of the first 16 entries in Table 8) needs to be done using the following procedure to avoid changing direction while the pin is high: 1. Write 0x7E to GPIOCTRLn to make it output a constant 0. 2. Drive a `0' from the microcontroller to the GPIO pin. 3. Write for instance 0x88 to GPIOCTRLn to change to input that triggers the STXON command strobe. 11.5 GPIO Configuration Table 8 summarizes the signals that are available as output on any GPIO pin. The CTRLn column shows the configuration value that needs to be written to any one of the GPIOCTRL0-GPIOCTRL5 registers in order to get the described functionality. The IN column in Table 8 shows which command strobe that will be executed if the GPIO is configured as input and an edge (with the correct polarity) is applied. The OUT column shows the name of the internal signal that is observable on the pin if the GPIO is configured as an output. 36 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 Table 9: GPIO configuration CTRLn (hex) IN OUT Description of OUT signal 0x00 SIBUFEX Clock Clock signal.

In all these power modes the supply voltage is applied to the circuit. In Low Power Mode 2 (LPM2) the digital voltage regulator is turned off (VREG_EN=0) and no clocks are running. No data is retained. All analog modules are in power down state. In Low Power Mode 1 (LPM1) the digital voltage regulator is on (VREG_EN=1), but no clocks are running. Data is retained. The power down signals to the analog modules are controlled by the digital part. In Active mode the digital voltage regulator is on (VREG_EN=1) and the crystal oscillator clock is running. The power down signals to the analog modules are controlled by the digital part. 12.1 Switching Between Power Modes When the device has been in LPM2, all register content is lost. To bring the device up to active mode, a reset is required or the device will be in an unknown state. The reset can be applied either by setting the RESETn pin low, or issuing a reset instruction (SRES) over the SPI. It is recommended that the RESETn method is used, because it will give a controlled start and automatic start of the crystal oscillator. Before entering LPM2, it is strongly recommended that the device is reset. This way, the configuration will always be the same when the power to the digital part is removed, and it is less likely that there will be issues with current spikes or other side effects of the power being removed. Set RESETn=1 Set VREG_EN=1 Wait until regulator has stabilized. Use a timeout. Set RESETn=0 Set VREG_EN=1 SRES Wait until regulator has stabilized. Use a timeout.

This typically takes 0.1 ms. When the RESETn pin is set high, the crystal oscillator (in the CC2520 reference design) uses typically 0.2 ms to start. See section 6 for crystal specific parameters. The GPIO pins are configured according to Table 8: GPIO reset state when power is applied to the chip and RESETn is held low.

Until the SRES command strobe has been issued, the chip will be in an unknown state. Note that this means it could theoretically for instance be transmitting. The time from power is applied to the XOSC has started depends on the clock frequency used on the SPI (max 8MHz) and the startup time for the crystal. Note that the crystal oscillator does not necessarily start automatically when the SRES command strobe is issued. That means one also has to issue an SXOSCON command strobe to be sure that the oscillator starts. Unlike the RESETn pin, the SRES command strobe will not influence the state of the crystal oscillator, so if the oscillator accidentally comes up in the "off" state, issuing a SRES will not make it start.

The instructions are transferred to CC2520 via the SPI, and can consist of one or more bytes. The first byte contains the unique op-code and the following bytes are parameters needed to execute the selected instruction. In the following sections, every instruction and parameter is described in detail. 13.1 Definitions * * * * * * * * * * All parameters and data are transferred over the SPI with their most significant bit first and their least significant bit last. For instructions that read data from CC2520, the data byte will replace the status byte on the SO pin. Address parameters point to the least significant byte in a block of data. The address A+1 contains the next but least significant byte and so on. When CC2520 automatically increments addresses, it will wrap around when incrementing beyond the highest possible address (0xFFF). An instruction is ended by either sending the complete instruction (for finite instructions) or raising CSn (For infinite instructions, indicated by "..." in the instructions summary). Once an instruction is ended a new instruction can be started. If an instruction is ended before it is complete or if the instruction is not recognized, an OPERAND_ERROR exception is raised. If the user sets parameter bits explicitly marked as `0' in instruction summary table to `1' an OPERAND_ERROR exception is raised. When an instruction is aborted an error exception is raised and the SPI interface ceases to receive further data until CSn has been set high then low again. The instruction that was aborted may have made changes to memory contents before it was aborted. If the SPI interface is reset (by pulling CSn high) in the middle of an SPI byte transfer (i.e. not between bytes) an SPI_ERROR exception is raised. 13.2 Instruction Descriptions The codes shown below are used in the descriptions of the instructions. They represent bits selectable by the user. A sequence of bits thus represented by the same letter, even when spanning multiple bytes represents a word with a width equal to the number of repeated letters and with MSB the leftmost bit in the first byte transferred with this encoding. Such words may be represented in the text as a capital letter of the encoding letter in which case they shall be interpreted as a positive integer encoded by the bits represented in the encoding by the same letter only in lower-case. Note that the bits that refer to one such integer need not be continuous in the encoding. So the encoding aaaaeeee aaaaaaaa eeeeeeee represents two 12 bit words transferred in three bytes with the most significant bits of each word transferred in the first byte.

The instruction to be loaded, I, is held and shall be parsed as a normal instruction when SIBUFEX is executed as if those bytes had just been transferred to the SPI interface. Once the instruction held in the instruction buffer is executed it is replaced by SNOP. SIBUFEX s[7:0] Command strobe Execute the instruction stored in the instruction buffer as though those bytes had been transferred on the SPI interface. USAGE_ERROR Special. A USAGE_ERROR exception is raised if the instructions stored are not valid for use with the instruction buffer. The executed instruction may raise any exception it normally can. SSAMPLECCA s[7:0] Sample the value of the CCA status signal, and store in status register. SNOP s[7:0] No Operation (has no other effect than reading out status-bits) SXOSCON s[7:0] Turn on the crystal oscillator.

SNACK s[7:0] Command strobe Do not send an acknowledgement frame to the currently received frame, even if the rfr_autoack is set. USAGE_ERROR Raises USAGE_ERROR exception if a frame is currently not being received. In this case no ACK frame is sent. SRXMASKBITSET s[7:0] Set bit 13 in the RXMASK. s[7:0] Clear bit 13 in the RXMASK. Command strobe SRXMASKBITCLR Command strobe RXENABLE_ZERO Raises RXENABLE_ZERO exception if this causes the RXENABE registers to be zero. RXMASKOR d[15:0] s[7:0] Perform bitwise OR between RX enable mask and D. RXMASKAND d[15:0] s[7:0] Perform bitwise AND between RX enable mask and D. Raises RXENABLE_ZERO exception if this causes the RXENABLE registers to be zero. RXENABLE_ZERO Data IO BSET a[7:3] b[2:0] s[7:0] Set a single bit. Writes 1 to bit B in address A. This is done without affecting the value of, or triggering sideeffects of other bits at the same address. Only the address range [0, 31] is accessible with this instruction. MEMADDR_ERROR BCLR a[7:3] b[2:0] s[7:0] Clear a single bit. Writes 0 to bit B in address A. This is done without affecting the value of, or triggering sideeffects of other bits at the same address. Only the address range [0, 31] is accessible with this instruction. MEMADDR_ERROR MEMRD a[11:0] s[7:0] d[7:0] ... Read memory. The n'th byte of data D is read from address (A+n). Note that when an address with LSB=0 is read the content of the corresponding address with LSB=1 is buffered. If that address is read immediately after within the same MEMRD instruction, the buffered copy is read. In this way a read of a complete 16 bit word is performed as an atomic operation. MEMADDR_ERROR MEMWR a[11:0] d[7:0] ... s[7:0] d[7:0] ... Write memory. The n'th byte of data D input with the instruction is written to address (A+n). MEMADDR_ERROR a[5:0] s[7:0] d[7:0] ...

Writes the bitwise XOR of the n't data byte D following the instruction and the current contents of address (A+n) to memory location (A+n). MEMADDR_ERROR In addition, the n'th byte of data D output from the instruction is the unaltered data read from the memory location (A+n). RXBUF s[7:0] d[7:0] ... Read the oldest byte in the RX FIFO. At the first data transfer the oldest byte in the RX FIFO is read and removed from the RX FIFO. This operation is repeated for subsequent SPI transfers. RX_UNDERFLOW If this instruction is performed when the RX FIFO is empty, an RX_UNDERFLOW exception is raised. Note: Do not execute RXBUF while RXBUFMOV is in progress. It could result in loss of data. RXBUFCP a[11:0] s[7:0] c[7:0] d[7:0] ... This instruction functions as RXBUF except it also copies the data bytes read from the RX FIFO to the memory location starting at address A. RX_UNDERFLOW The second byte transferred is the number of bytes, C, currently in the RX FIFO. Note: Do not execute RXBUFCP while RXBUFMOV is in progress. It could result in loss of data. TXBUF d[7:0] ... s[7:0] c[7:0] Write to the end of TX FIFO. Data bytes transferred after the opcode are appended to the end of TX FIFO. TX_OVERFLOW The SPI interface will output the number of bytes, C, in TX FIFO before the currently transferred byte has been entered. I.e. 0x00 is returned when transferring the first byte to TX FIFO. If this instruction is performed when the TX FIFO is full, a TX_OVERFLOW exception is raised. RANDOM ... s[7:0] d[7:0] ... RXBUFMOV p a[11:0] c[7:0] s[7:0] c[7:0] Read randomly generated bytes D, generated from noise in the receiver chain. Data management instructions Moves the C oldest bytes from the RX FIFO to the memory location starting at address A. The priority of the instruction is defined by P, which is either low (if P=0) or high (if P=1). An RXBUFMOV_TIMEOUT exception is raised if the RX FIFO empties before the instruction is completed, as defined by DPUCON.RXTIM. The remaining bytes to be moved is available in status register. Note that running RXBUFMOV on high priority with DPUCON.RXTIM='1' will block execution of other DPU instructions while a frame is beeing received, which is more than 4ms for a 128 byte frame. A DPU_DONE_L or DPU_DONE_H exception is raised when the operation completes, depending on the priority of the instruction. This happens regardless of whether the operation was successful or not. A USAGE_ERROR exception is raised if an instruction is already active with the requested priority level (high or low). 46 WWW.TI.COM RXBUFMOV_TIMEOUT OPERAND_ERROR USAGE_ERROR DPU_DONE_L DPU_DONE_H MEMADDR_ERROR CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 OPCODE Inputs Outputs Description Possible exceptions TXBUFCP p a[11:0] c[7:0] s[7:0] c[7:0] Copy C bytes of data starting from the memory location starting at address A to the end of TXBUF.

The status byte is latched internally when a falling edge is detected on CSn and on the last falling edge of SCLK within each byte. The latched status value is then shifted out on the following falling SCLK edges. The SNOP instruction can be used to read the status byte without causing any side effects. Table 13: Status byte contents Status byte (MSB clocked out first) Bit no Signal Description 7 XOSC stable and running 0: XOSC off or not yet stable 1: XOSC stable and running (Digital part has clock) 6 RSSI valid 0: RSSI value is not valid 1: RSSI value is valid 5 EXCEPTION channel A 0: No exceptions selected in EXCMASKAn has corresponding flag in EXCFLAGn set 1: At least one exception selected in EXCMASKAn has corresponding flag EXCFLAGn set 4 EXCEPTION channel B 0: No exceptions selected in EXCMASKBn has corresponding flag in EXCFLAGn set 1: At least one exception selected in EXCMASKBn has corresponding flag EXCFLAGn set 3 DPU H active 0: No high priority DPU instruction is currently active. 1: A high priority DPU instruction is currently active. 2 DPU L active 0: No low priority DPU instruction is currently active. 1: A low priority DPU instruction is currently active. 1 TX active 0: Device is not in TX mode 1: Device is in TX mode 0 RX active 0: Device is not in RX mode 1: Device is in RX mode 13.5 Command Strobes Most of the instructions in section 15.3 that are only one byte long are referred to as command strobes. There are two exceptions to this: SNOP and SXOSCON. SNOP is used to read the status byte without causing any side effects. SXOSCON turns on the crystal oscillator and must be run via the SPI. It is not possible to load SXOSCON into the instruction buffer using IBUFLD and then execute it using IBUFEX. The command strobes can be executed by configuring GPIO pins as input in accordance to GPIO configuration table in section 12.6 and be triggered with a selected edge in the GPIOPOLARITY register. Thus SPI traffic can be omitted for command strobes. There are also two channels, X and Y, for binding exceptions to the command strobes, so that CC2520 may automatically react to different internal events. This feature is described in more detail in section 16.1. 13.6 Command Strobe Buffer The command strobe buffer provides another mechanism for execution of command strobes. The buffer is loaded with the help of the IBUFLD instruction sent via SPI. Once the buffer is loaded, the instruction is executed when CC2520 receives the SIBUFX strobe. The SIBUFX strobe can be triggered from any of the triggering sources (SPI, GPIO, exceptions bound to SIBUFX instruction). When the instruction in the instruction buffer has been executed, it is replaced by a SNOP instruction. If both the SIBUFEX strobe and WWW.TI.COM 53 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 the IBUFLD instruction are received at the same time, the old command strobe is executed. The new strobe that the user tried to write to the buffer is lost and will never be executed. 54 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 14 Exceptions Exceptions in CC2520 are used to indicate that different events have occurred. Exceptions are used both for error conditions such as incorrect use of the SPI and for events that are perfectly normal and expected such as transmission of a start of frame delimiter (SFD). Exception flags are stored in status registers and can be read over the SPI or observed on GPIO. To clear an exception flag, the user must write `0' to the correct bit in the status register. If the user tries to clear an exception flag in the exact same clock period as the same exception occurs, the flag will not be cleared. Table 14 shows a summary of the available exceptions in CC2520. The NUM column shows how the exceptions are numbered. The number correspond to the bits in the EXCFLAGn registers, and must be used when binding exceptions to instructions. Table 14: Exceptions summary Mnemonic Num (hex) Description RF_IDLE 0x00 The main radio FSM enters its idle state from any other state. This exception is not generated when the FSM enters the idle state because of a device reset. TX_FRM_DONE 0x01 TX frame successfully transmitted, which means that TX FIFO is empty and no underflow occurred. Exception is not generated when TX is aborted with SRFOFF, SRXON or STXON. TX_ACK_DONE 0x02 ACK frame successfully transmitted. Exception is not generated when the acknowledge transmission is aborted with SRFOFF, SRXON or STXON. TX_UNDERFLOW 0x03 Underflow has occurred in the TX FIFO. TX is aborted and the TX FIFO must be flushed. TX_OVERFLOW 0x04 An attempt was made to write to TX FIFO while it is full. The instruction is aborted. RX_UNDERFLOW 0x05 An attempt has been made to read the RX FIFO without any bytes available to read. Instruction is aborted. Note that the RX_UNDERFLOW exception should only be used for debugging software, and should not be trusted in a RX FIFO readout routine. In some scenarios the RX_UNDERFLOW exception will not be issued when a reading starts even when the RX_FIFO is empty. RX_OVERFLOW 0x06 An attempt has been made by RF_core to write to RX FIFO while the RX FIFO is full. The byte that was attempted written to the RX FIFO is lost. Reception of data is aborted and the FSM enters the rx_overflow state. Recommended action is to issue a SFLUSHRX command strobe to empty the RX FIFO and restart RX. RXENABLE_ZERO 0x07 RX enable register has changed value to all zeros. RX_FRM_DONE 0x08 A complete frame has been received. I.E the number of bytes set by the length field is received. RX_FRM_ACCEPTED 0x09 When frame filtering is enabled, this exception is generated when a frame is accepted (happens immediately after receiving the fields required to determine the outcome). SRC_MATCH_DONE 0x0A When source address matching is enabled, this exception is generated upon completion of source address matching. The exception is generated regardless of the result. SRC_MATCH_FOUND 0x0B If a source match is found, this exception is generated immediately before SRC_MATCH_DONE. FIFOP 0x0C The RX FIFO is filled up with bytes that have passed address filtering to the FIFOP threshold value defined in register, or at least one complete frame has been written to the RX FIFO. High when FFCTRL is in the rx_overflow state. SFD 0x0D Start of frame delimiter received when in RX or start of frame delimiter transmitted when in TX. DPU_DONE_L 0x0E Low priority DPU operation completed. Will not be issued if operation fails or is aborted. WWW.TI.COM 55 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 Mnemonic Num (hex) Description DPU_DONE_H 0x0F High priority DPU operation completed. Will not be issued if operation fails or is aborted. MEMADDR_ERROR 0x10 An illegal address has been used for an instruction. Instruction is aborted. USAGE_ERROR 0x11 Instruction performed in a context that does not permit this instruction. Instruction is aborted. OPERAND_ERROR 0x12 Wrong format for instruction. Instruction is aborted. This will happen for a multi-byte fixed-length instruction if CSn is raised on a byte boundary but before the required number of operands has been transferred. SPI_ERROR 0x13 An SPI transfer was aborted by raising CSn in the middle of a byte. (I.e. not on a byte boundary) RF_NO_LOCK 0x14 If no lock has been found before 256 us after entering RX this exception will go active. Also a negative edge on LOCK_STATUS when in RX will trigger this exception. RX_FRM_ABORTED 0x15 Frame reception aborted. Not issued when RX_OVERFLOW occurs. RXBUFMOV_TIMEOUT 0x16 RXBUFMOV has timed out. There were not enough bytes available in the RX FIFO and the wait time set by DPUCON.RXTIMEOUT has expired. UNUSED 0x17 Reserved 14.1 Exceptions on GPIO Pins All exception flags can be routed individually to a GPIO pin by writing the CTRLn value corresponding to the desired exception in Table 8 into the GPIOCTRLn registers. CC2520 has two exception channels, A and B, that let the user select a collection of exceptions to combine to output on a GPIO pin. If any of the selected exceptions goes active, the GPIO pin goes active. It is also possible to output the complementary collection of exceptions of each of the two channels. Example: Collect RF_IDLE and RX_UNDERFLOW in exception channel B and output on GPIO3. * * * * Write 0x22 to GPIOCTRL3. Set GPIO3 as output and select exception channel B from the GPIO configuration table in section 12.6. Write 0x21 to EXCMASKB0. Select RF_IDLE and RX_UNDERFLOW exceptions in accordance with table Exceptions overview (section 16). Write 0x00 to EXCMASKB1. Mask all other exceptions. Write 0x00 to EXCMASKB2. Mask all other exceptions. The complementary exception channel B with the settings in the example above will include all other exceptions than RF_IDLE and RX_UNDERFLOW. This channel can be routed to another GPIO pin by writing 0x24 to the corresponding GPIOCTRLn register. Exceptions linked to GPIO pins separately or as a group in a channel will be consistent with the corresponding bits in the EXCFLAGn registers. EXCFLAGn register bits that are high can only be cleared by writing zero to the bit. 14.2 Predefined Exception Channels There are two predefined exception channels that can be observed on GPIO pins. They are not included in the status byte and no complementary channel is available. The first predefined exception channel is a collection of exceptions that indicate that something has gone wrong during RX. * RX_UNDERFLOW * RX_OVERFLOW * RX_FRM_ABORTED * RXBUFMOV_TIMEOUT 56 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 The second predefined exception channel includes exceptions that indicate general error conditions. * MEMADDR_ERROR * USAGE_ERROR * OPERAND_ERROR * SPI_ERROR Exceptions bus Figure 10 shows how the exceptions are linked to the instruction set of CC2520. Note that there are several sources that may trigger instructions. The large or-gate illustrates that it only takes one of these sources to trigger the execution of an instruction. Figure 10: Functional details of exception handling and instruction triggering. 14.3 Binding Exceptions to Instructions (command strobes) An exception can be bound to trigger a command strobe so that a command strobe can be automatically executed when an exception occurs. There are two possible binding combinations, X and Y, defined in the registers EXCBINDXn and EXCBINDYn. Example Run SACKPEND instruction when RX_FRM_ACCEPTED exception is activated. WWW.TI.COM 57 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 1. Write 0x06 to EXCBINDX0. This will select SACKPEND as the bound instruction from Table 8: GPIO configuration. 2. Write 0x89 to EXCBINDX1. Enables X-binding and selects RX_FRM_ACCEPTED as the bound exception from Table 14: Exceptions summary. Note Be aware of the offset in numbering in the tables Exceptions summary (section 16) and GPIO configuration (section 12.6) for exceptions. It is for example possible to route the exception RF_IDLE to a GPIO pin in the GPIOCTRLn.CTRLn register bit when the pin is set as output. In this case, the exception RF_IDLE has the numbering 0x01 in accordance to Table 9: GPIO configuration When RF_IDLE is to be bound with an instruction the numbering to be used in EXCBINDX/Y1 is 0x00 in accordance to Table 14: Exceptions summary. 58 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 15 Memory Map The configuration registers in CC2520 are located at addresses from 0x000 to 0x07F. From 0x080 to 0x0FF there is currently a reserved area that is not used. CC2520 contains 768 bytes of physical RAM located at addresses 0x100 to 0x3FF. Figure 11: CC2520 memory map WWW.TI.COM 59 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 15.1 FREG FREG is 128 fast access 8-bit registers that can be reached with REGRD and REGWR instructions. REGRD and REGWR instructions that begin in the FREG memory area can be continued into the SREG and wrap around at 0x07F. FREG can also be accessed with MEMRD and MEMWR instructions which require one extra byte over the SPI with respect to REGRD and REGWR. Registers in FREG between 0x000 and 0x01F are bit wise writeable with the BCLR and BSET instructions. The registers located in FREG are described in section 28. Note that not all 128 addresses are used. 15.2 SREG SREG is 128 8-bit registers that are accessible with MEMRD and MEMWR instructions. The registers located in SREG are described in section 32. Note that not all 128 addresses are used. 15.3 TX FIFO The TX FIFO memory area is located at addresses 0x100 to 0x17F and is thus 128 bytes. Although this memory area is intended for the TX FIFO, it is not protected in any way, so it is still accessible with for instance the MEMWR and MEMRD instructions. Normally, only the designated instructions should be used to manipulate the contents of the TX FIFO. The TX FIFO can only contain one frame at a time. More details on the TX FIFO can be found in section 22.3. 15.4 RX FIFO The RX FIFO memory area is located at addresses 0x180 to 0x1FF and is thus 128 bytes. Although this memory area is intended for the RX FIFO, it is not protected in any way, so it is still accessible with for instance the MEMWR and MEMRD instructions. Normally, only the designated instructions should be used to manipulate the contents of the RX FIFO. The RX FIFO can contain more than one frame at a time. 15.5 MEM The MEM memory area from address 0x200 to 0x37F is 384 bytes long. The two 16-byte temporary areas CBCTEMPH and CBCTEMPL are used for CBCMAC, UCBCMAC, CCM and UCCM instructions, with high and low priority respectively. The remaining MEM area is general purpose memory. 15.6 Frame Filtering and Source Matching Memory Map The frame filtering and source address matching functions use a 128-byte block of CC2520 memory to store local address information and source matching configuration and results. This memory space is described in Table 15. Values that do not fill an entire byte/word are in the least significant part of the byte/word.

CC2520 supports carrier frequencies in the range 2394MHz to 2507MHz. The carrier frequency FC in MHz is given by FC = (2394 + FREQCTRL.FREQ[6:0]) MHz, and is programmable in 1 MHz steps. IEEE 802.15.4-2006 specifies 16 channels within the 2.4 GHz band. They are numbered 11 through 26 and are 5 MHz apart. The RF frequency of channel k is given by [2]. Fc = 2405 + 5(k - 11) [MHz] k [11,26] For operation in channel k, the FREQCTRL.FREQ register should therefore be set to FREQCTRL.FREQ = 11 + 5 (k-11) 62 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 17 IEEE 802.15.4-2006 Modulation Format This section is meant as an introduction to the 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) RF modulation format defined in IEEE 802.15.4-2006. For a complete description, please refer to the standard document [2]. The modulation and spreading functions are illustrated at block level in Figure 12. Each byte is divided into two symbols, 4 bits each. The least significant symbol is transmitted first. For multi-byte fields, the least significant byte is transmitted first, except for security related fields where the most significant byte it transmitted first. Each symbol is mapped to one out of 16 pseudo-random sequences, 32 chips each. The symbol to chip mapping is shown in Table 16. The chip sequence is then transmitted at 2 Mchips/s, with the least significant chip (C0) transmitted first for each symbol. The transmitted bit stream and the chip sequences are observable on GPIO pins. See Table 9 for details on how to configure the GPIO to do this. Figure 12: Modulation Table 16: IEEE 802.15.4-2006 symbol to chip mapping Symbol Chip sequence (C0, C1, C2, ... , C31) 0 11011001110000110101001000101110 1 11101101100111000011010100100010 2 00101110110110011100001101010010 3 00100010111011011001110000110101 4 01010010001011101101100111000011 5 00110101001000101110110110011100 6 11000011010100100010111011011001 7 10011100001101010010001011101101 8 10001100100101100000011101111011 9 10111000110010010110000001110111 10 01111011100011001001011000000111 11 01110111101110001100100101100000 12 00000111011110111000110010010110 13 01100000011101111011100011001001 14 10010110000001110111101110001100 15 11001001011000000111011110111000 The modulation format is Offset - Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSK) with half-sine chip shaping. This is equivalent to MSK modulation. Each chip is shaped as a half-sine, transmitted alternately in the I and Q channels with one half chip period offset. This is illustrated for the zero-symbol in Figure 13.

CC2520 has built in support for processing of parts of the frame. This is described in the following sections. Figure 18 shows a schematic view of the IEEE 802.15.4 frame format. Similar figures describing specific frame formats (data frames, beacon frames, acknowledgment frames and MAC command frames) are included in the standard document [2]. 0 to 20 1 2 Frame Data Address Control Field Sequence Information (FCF) Number MAC Header (MHR) n Bytes: MAC Layer Bytes: PHY Layer 1 1 Start of frame Frame Delimiter Length (SFD) Synchronisation Header PHY Header (SHR) (PHR) Frame payload MAC Payload 2 Frame Check Sequence (FCS) MAC Footer (MFR) 5 + (0 to 20) + n MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) PHY Service Data Unit (PSDU) 4 Preamble Sequence 11 + (0 to 20) + n PHY Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) Figure 14: Schematic view of the IEEE 802.15.4 Frame Format [1] 18.1 PHY Layer Synchronization Header The synchronization header (SHR) consists of the preamble sequence followed by the start of frame delimiter (SFD). In the IEEE 802.15.4 specification [2], the preamble sequence is defined to be 4 bytes of 0x00. The SFD is one byte with value 0xA7. PHY Header The PHY header consists only of the frame length field. The frame length field defines the number of bytes in the MPDU. Note that the value of the length field does not include the length field itself. It does however include the FCS (Frame Check Sequence), even if this is inserted automatically by CC2520 hardware. T T The frame length field is 7 bits long and has a maximum value of 127. The most significant bit in the length field is reserved, and should always be set to zero. PHY Service Data Unit The PHY Service Data Unit contains the MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU). It is the MAC layer's responsibility to generate/interpret the MPDU, and CC2520 has built in support for processing of some of the MPDU subfields. 18.2 MAC Layer The FCF, data sequence number and address information follows the length field as shown in Figure 14. Together with the MAC data payload and Frame Check Sequence, they form the MPDU. The format of the FCF is shown in Figure 15. For full details, please refer to the IEEE 802.15.4 specification [2].

The FCS is calculated over the MPDU, i.e. the length field is not part of the FCS. The FCS polynomial defined in [2] is G( x) = x 16 + x 12 + x 5 + 1 CCC2520 supports automatic calculation/verification of the FCS. See sections 20.3 and 22.1.3 for details. 66 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 19 Transmit Mode This section describes how to control the transmitter, the integrated frame processing and how to use the TX FIFO. 19.1 TX Control CC2520 has many built in features for frame processing and status reporting. Note that CC2520 provides features that make it easy for the microcontroller to have precise control of the timing of outgoing frames. This is very important in an IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee system, because there are strict timing requirements to such systems. Frame transmission will be started by the following actions: * The STXON command strobe o The SAMPLED_CCA signal is not updated. * The STXONCCA command strobe, provided that the CCA signal is high. o Aborts ongoing transmission/reception and forces a TX calibration followed by transmission. o The SAMPLED_CCA signal is updated Clear channel assessment is described in detail in section 19.7. Frame transmission will be aborted by the following command actions: * The SRXON command strobe o Aborts ongoing transmission and forces a RX calibration * The SRFOFF command strobe o Aborts ongoing transmission/reception and forces the FSM to the IDLE state. * The STXON command strobe o See above. To enable the receiver after transmission with STXON, the FRMCTRL1.SET_RXENMASK_ON_TX bit should be set. This will set bit 14 in RXENABLE when STXON is executed. When transmitting with STXONCCA, the receiver would be on before the transmission and will be turned back on afterwards (unless the RXENABLE registers have been cleared in the mean time). 19.2 TX State Timing Transmission of preamble begins 192 us after the STXON or STXONCCA command strobe. This is referred to as "TX turnaround time" in [2]. There is an equal delay when returning to receive mode. When returning to idle or receive mode, there is a 2 us delay while the modulator ramps down the signals to the DACs. The down ramping happens automatically after the complete MPDU (as defined by the length byte) has been transmitted or if TX underflow occurs. This affects: * The SFD signal, which is stretched by 2 us. * The radio FSM transition to the IDLE state, which is delayed by 2 us. 19.3 TX FIFO Access The TX FIFO can hold 128 bytes and only one frame at a time. The frame can be buffered before or after the TX command strobe is executed, as long as it does not generate TX underflow (see the error conditions listed below). Figure 16 illustrates what needs to be written to the TX FIFO (marked blue). Additional bytes are ignored, unless TX overflow occurs (see the error conditions listed below). WWW.TI.COM 67 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 Figure 16. Frame data written to the TX FIFO There are three ways to write to the TX FIFO: * The TXBUF instruction transfers bytes from the microcontroller to the TX FIFO in CC2520. * The TXBUFCP instruction copies bytes from the general RAM in CC2520 into the TX FIFO. * Frame buffering always begins at the start of the TX FIFO memory. By enabling the FRMCTRL1.IGNORE_TX_UNDERF bit, it is possible to MEMWR, MEMCP and other memory instructions to write the frame. Note, however, that using dedicated TXBUF and TXBUFCP instructions should be preferred. The number of bytes in the TX FIFO is stored in the TXFIFOCNT register. The TX FIFO can be emptied manually with the SFLUSHTX command strobe. TX underflow will occur If the FIFO is emptied during transmission. 19.3.1 Retransmission In order to support simple retransmission of frames, the CC2520 does not delete TX FIFO contents as they are transmitted. After a frame has been successfully transmitted, the FIFO contents are left unchanged. To retransmit the same frame again, simply restart TX by issuing a STXON or STXONCCA command strobe. If a different frame is to be transmitted, just write the new frame to the TX FIFO. In this case, the TX FIFO is automatically flushed before the actual writing takes place. 19.3.2 Error Conditions There are two error conditions associated with the TX FIFO: * Overflow happens when the TX FIFO is full and it is attempted to write another byte. * Underflow happens when the TX FIFO is empty and CC2520 attempts to fetch another byte for transmission. TX overflow is indicated by the TX_OVERFLOW exception. When this error occurs, the writing will be aborted, i.e. the data byte that caused the overflow will be lost. The error condition must be cleared with the SFLUSHTX strobe. TX underflow is indicated by the TX_UNDERFLOW exception. When this error occurs, the ongoing transmission is aborted. The error condition must be cleared with the SFLUSHTX strobe. The TX_UNDERFLOW exception can be disabled by setting the FRMCTRL1.IGNORE_TX_UNDERF bit. In this case, the CC2520 will continue transmitting the bytes that happen to be in the TX FIFO memory, until the number of bytes given by the first byte (i.e. the length byte) has been transmitted 68 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 19.4 TX Flow Diagram Figure 17 summarizes the previous sections in a flow diagram: No CSMA-CA Unslotted CSMA-CA Slotted CSMA-CA Data buffering SSAMPLECCA Yes (SAMPLED_CCA = 1) STXON STXONCCA Yes (SAMPLED_CCA = 1) TX started?

This will have no side effects on the state of the TX buffer. The placement of the SFLUSHTX strobe in the diagram shows the latest point in time where this strobe can be executed.

Generation and automatic transmission of the PHY Layer synchronization header which consists of the preamble and the SFD. 2. Transmission of the number of bytes specified by the frame length field. 3. Calculation of and automatic transmission of the FCS (can be disabled). The recommended usage is to write the length field followed by MAC header and MAC payload to the TX FIFO, and let CC2520 handle the rest. Note that the length field must include the two FCS bytes even though CC2520 adds these automatically. 19.5.1 Synchronization Header Figure 18: Transmitted Synchronisation Header CC2520 has programmable preamble length. The default value is compliant with [2] and changing the value will make the system non-compliant to IEEE 802.15.4. T T The preamble sequence length is set by MDMCTRL0.PREAMBLE_LENGTH. Figure 18 shows how the CC2520 synchronization header relates to the IEEE 802.15.4 specification. T T When the required number of preamble bytes have been transmitted, CC2520 will automatically transmit the one byte long SFD. The SFD is fixed and it is not possible to change this value from software. 19.5.2 Frame Length Field When the SFD has been transmitted, the modulator in CC2520 will start to read data from the TX FIFO. It expects to find the frame length field followed by MAC header and MAC payload. The frame length field is used to determine how many bytes that is to be transmitted. Note that the minimum frame length is 3 when AUTOCRC='1' and 1 when AUTOCRC='0'. 19.5.3 Frame Check Sequence When the FRMCTRL0.AUTOCRC control bit is set, the FCS field is automatically generated by CC2520 and appended to the transmitted frame at the position defined by the length field. The FCS is not written to the TXFIFO, but stored in a separate 16-bit register. It is recommended to always have AUTOCRC enabled, except possibly for debug purposes. If FRMCTRL0.AUTOCRC='0' then the modulator will expect to find the 70 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 FCS in the TX FIFO, so software must generate the FCS and write it to the TX FIFO along with the rest of the MPDU. The CC2520 hardware implementation of the FCS calculator is shown in Figure 22. Please refer to [2] for further details. T T Figure 19: CC2520 FCS hardware implementation 19.6 Exceptions The SFD exception will be raised when the SFD field of the frame has been transmitted. At the end of the frame, the TX_FRM_DONE exception will be raised when the complete frame has been successfully transmitted. Note that there is a second SFD signal available on GPIO (config value 0x2A) that should not be confused with the SFD exception. 19.7 Clear Channel Assessment The clear channel assessment (CCA) status signal indicates whether the channel is available for transmission or not. The CCA function is used to implement the CSMA-CA functionality specified in the IEEE 802.15.4 specification [2]. The CCA signal is valid when the receiver has been enabled for at least 8 symbol periods. The RSSI_VALID status signal can be used to verify this. The CCA is based on the RSSI value and a programmable threshold. The exact behavior is configurable in the CCACTRL0 and CCACTRL1 registers. There are two variations of the CCA signal, one that is updated at every new RSSI sample and one that is only updated on SSAMPLECCA and STXONCCA command strobes. They are both available in the FSMSTAT1 register. Note that the CCA signal is updated 4 clock cycles (32 MHz) after the RSSI_VALID signal has been set. 19.8 Output Power Programming The RF output power of CC2520 is controlled by the 7 bit value in the TXPOWER register. Table 17 shows the typical output power and current consumption for the recommended settings when the centre frequency is set to 2440 GHz. Note that the recommended settings are only a small subset of all the possible register settings. Using other settings than those in Table 17 might result in very high current consumption and generally poor performance. Please refer to section 5.11 for details on the optional temperature compensated TX.

This gives the microcontroller very accurate control of the timing of the outgoing frame. Use a timer in the microcontroller to capture the timing of the SFD exception. This gives the microcontroller exact knowledge of when the frame was transmitted. Note that there is no requirement to have the complete frame in the TXFIFO before starting a transmission. Bytes may be added to the TX FIFO during transmission. It is possible to make CC2520 transmit non-IEEE 802.15.4 compliant frames by setting MDMTEST1.MODULATION_MODE='1'. WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 20 Receive Mode This section describes how to control the receiver, integrated RX frame processing, and how use the RX FIFO. 20.1 RX Control The CC2520 receiver is turned on and off with the SRXON and SRFOFF command strobes, and with the RXENABLE registers. The command strobes provide a "hard" on/off mechanism, while RXENABLE manipulation provides a "soft" on/off mechanism. The receiver will be turned on by the following actions: * The SRXON strobe: o Sets RXENABLE[15] o Aborts ongoing transmission/reception by forcing a transition to RX calibration. * The STXON strobe when FRMCTRL1.SET_RXENMASK_ON_TX is enabled: o Sets RXENABLE[14] o The receiver is enabled after transmission completes. * Setting RXENABLE != 0x0000: o Does not abort ongoing transmission/reception. The receiver will be turned off by the following actions: * The SRFOFF strobe: o Clears RXENABLE[15:0] o Aborts ongoing transmission/reception by forcing the transition to IDLE mode. * Setting RXENABLE = 0x0000 o Does not abort ongoing transmission/reception. Once the ongoing transmission/reception is finished, the CC2520 will return to IDLE state. There are several ways to manipulate the RXENABLE registers: * The REGWR and MEMWR instructions * The BSET and BCLR instructions * The RXENABLEAND and RXENABLEOR instructions * The SRXMASKBITSET and SRXMASKBITCLR strobes (affecting RXENABLE[13]) * The SRXON, SRFOFF and STXON strobes, including the FRMCTRL1.SET_RXMASK_ON_TX setting 20.2 RX State Timing The receiver is ready 192 us after RX has been enabled by one of the methods described above. This is referred to as "RX turnaround time" in [2]. When returning to receive mode after frame reception, there is by default an interval of 192 us where SFD detection is disabled. This interval can be disabled by clearing FSMCTRL.RX2RX_TIME_OFF. 20.3 Frame Processing CC2520 integrates critical portions of the RX requirements in IEEE 802.15.4-2003 and -2006 in hardware. This reduces the microcontroller interruption rate, simplifies the software that handles frame reception, and provides the results with minimum latency. During reception of a single frame, the CC2520 performs the following frame processing steps: WWW.TI.COM 73 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 1. Detection and removal of the received PHY synchronization header (preamble and SFD), and reception of the number of bytes specified by the frame length field. 2. Frame filtering as specified by [1] and [2], section 7.5.6.2, third filtering level. 3. Matching of the source address against a table containing up to 24 short addresses or 12 extended IEEE addresses. The source address table is stored on-chip in RAM. 4. Automatic FCS checking, and attaching this result and other status values (RSSI, LQI and source match result) to received frames. 5. Automatic acknowledgment transmission with correct timing, and correct setting of the frame pending bit, based on the results from source address matching and FCS checking. 20.3.1 Synchronization Header And Frame Length Fields Frame reception starts with detection of a start-of-frame delimiter (SFD), followed by the length byte, which determines when the reception is complete. The SFD signal, which is default output on GPIO4, can be connected to a timer input on a microcontroller to capture the start of received frames: Figure 20: SFD signal timing Preample and SFD are not written to the RX FIFO. The CC2520 uses a correlator to detect the SFD. The correlation threshold value in MDMCTRL1.CORR_THR determines how closely the received SFD must match an "ideal" SFD. The threshold must be adjusted with care: * If set too high, CC2520 will miss lots of actual SFDs, effectively reducing the receiver sensitivity. * If set too low, CC2520 will detect lots of false SFDs. Although this does not reduce the receiver sensitivity, the effect will be similar, since false frames might overlap with SFDs of actual frames. It also increases the risk of receiving false frames with correct FCS. In addition to SFD detection, it is also possible to require a number of valid preamble symbols (also above the correlation threshold) prior to SFD detection. Refer to the register descriptions of MDMCTRL0 and MDMCTRL1 for available options and recommended settings. For CC2520 rev. A the default correlation threshold is too low, and must updated after reset (before RX is attempted). 20.3.2 Frame Filtering The frame filtering function rejects non-intended frames as specified by [1] and [2], section 7.5.6.2, third filtering level. In addition, it provides filtering on: * The 8 different frame types (see the FRMFILT1 register) * The reserved bits in the frame control field (FCF) The function is controlled by: * The FRMFILT0 and FRMFILT1 registers * The LOCAL_PAN_ID, LOCAL_SHORT_ADDR and LOCAL_EXT_ADDR values in RAM 74 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 Filtering Algorithm The FRMFILT0.FRM_FILTER_EN bit controls whether frame filtering is applied or not. When disabled, the CC2520 will accept all received frames. When enabled (which is the default setting), the CC2520 will only accept frames that fulfill all of the following requirements: * The length byte must be equal to or higher than the "minimum frame length", which is derived from the source- and destination address mode and PAN ID compression subfields of the FCF. * The reserved FCF bits [9:7] and'ed together with FRMFILT0.FCF_RESERVED_BITMASK must equal 0b000. * The value of the frame version subfield of the FCF cannot be higher than FRMFILT0.MAX_FRAME_VERSION. * The source and destination address modes cannot be reserved values (1). * Destination address: * * If a destination PAN ID is included in the frame, it must match LOCAL_PANID or must be the broadcast PAN identifier (0xFFFF). * If a short destination address is included in the frame, it must match either LOCAL_SHORT_ADDR or the broadcast address (0xFFFF). * If an extended destination address is included in the frame, it must match LOCAL_EXT_ADDR. Frame type: * * * * * Beacon frames (0) are only accepted when: * FRMFILT1.ACCEPT_FT0_BEACON = 1 * Length byte >= 9 * The destination address mode is 0 (no destination address) * The source address mode is 2 or 3 (i.e. a source address is included) * The source PAN ID matches LOCAL_PANID, or LOCAL_PANID equals 0xFFFF Data (1) frames are only accepted when: * FRMFILT1.ACCEPT_FT1_DATA = 1 * Length byte >= 9 * A destination address and/or source address is included in the frame. If no destination address is included in the frame, the FRMFILT0.PAN_COORDINATOR bit must be set and the source PAN ID must equal LOCAL_PANID. Acknowledgment (2) frames are only accepted when: * FRMFILT1.ACCEPT_FT2_ACK = 1 * Length byte = 5 MAC command (3) frames are only accepted when: * FRMFILT1.ACCEPT_FT3_MAC_CMD = 1 * Length byte >= 9 * A destination address and/or source address is included in the frame. If no destination address is included in the frame, the FRMFILT0.PAN_COORDINATOR bit must be set and the source PAN ID must equal LOCAL_PANID for the frame to be accepted.. Reserved frame types (4, 5, 6 and 7) are only accepted when: * FRMFILT1.ACCEPT_FT4TO7_RESERVED = 1 (default is 0) * Length byte >= 9 The following operations are performed before the filtering begins, with no effect on the frame data stored in the RX FIFO: * Bit 7 of the length byte is masked out (don't care). * If FRMFILT1.MODIFY_FT_FILTER is unlike zero, the MSB of the frame type subfield of the FCF is either inverted or forced to 0 or 1. WWW.TI.COM 75 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 If a frame is rejected, CC2520 will only start searching for a new frame after the rejected frame has been completely received (as defined by the length field) to avoid detecting false SFDs within the frame. Note that rejected frames can generate RX overflow if it occurs before the frame is rejected. Exceptions When frame filtering is enabled and the filtering algorithm accepts a received frame, an RX_FRM_ACCEPTED exception will be generated. It will not be generated if frame filtering is disabled or RX_OVERFLOW or RX_FRM_ABORTED is generated before the filtering result is known. Figure 24 illustrates the three different scenarios (not including the overflow and abort error conditions). Figure 21: Filtering scenarios (exceptions generated during reception) The FSMSTAT1.SFD register bit will go high when start of frame delimiter is completely received and remain high until either the last byte in MPDU is received or the received frame has failed to pass address recognition and been rejected. SFD exception can be routed to a GPIO pin alone or as a part of a group of exceptions in channel A or B. SFD exception should preferably be connected to a timer capture pin on the microcontroller to extract timing information of transmitted and received data frames. SFD exception is also stored in EXCFLAG1 register. The register bit (and possibly the GPIO pin) will go high when the start of frame delimiter has been completely received and will continue to be high until cleared by SW. Tips and Tricks The following register settings must be configured correctly: * FRMFILT0.PAN_COORDINATOR must be set if the device is a PAN coordinator, and cleared if not. * FRMFILT0.MAX_FRAME_VERSION must correspond to the supported version(s) of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. * The local address information must be loaded into RAM. To completely avoid receiving frames during energy detection scanning, set FRMCTRL0.RX_MODE = 0b11 and then (re)start RX. This will disable symbol search and thereby prevent SFD detection. To resume normal RX mode, set FRMCTRL0.RX_MODE = 0b00 and (re)start RX. During operation in a busy IEEE 802.15.4 environment, CC2520 will receive large numbers of non-intended acknowledgment frames. To effectively block reception of these frames, use the FRMFILT1.ACCEPT_FT2_ACK bit to control when acknowledgment frames should be received: 76 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 * Set FRMFILT1.ACCEPT_FT2_ACK after successfully starting a transmission with acknowledgment request, and clear the bit again after the acknowledgment frame has been received, or the timeout has been reached. * Keep the bit cleared otherwise. It is not necessary to turn off the receiver while changing the values of the FRMFILT0/1 registers and the local address information stored in RAM. However, if the changes take place between reception of the SFD byte and the source PAN ID (i.e. between the SFD and RX_FRM_ACCEPTED exceptions), the modified values must be considered as don't care for that particular frame (CC2520 will use either the old or the new value). Note that it is possible to make CC2520 ignore all IEEE 802.15.4 incoming frames by setting MDMTEST1.MODULATION_MODE='1'. 20.3.3 Source Address Matching CC2520 supports matching of the source address in received frames against a table stored in the on-chip memory. The table is 96 bytes long, and hence it can contain up to: * 24 short addresses (2 + 2 bytes each) * 12 IEEE extended addresses (8 bytes each). Source address matching will only be performed when frame filtering is also enabled, and the received frame has been accepted. The function is controlled by: * The SRCMATCH, SRCSHORTEN0, SRCSHORTEN1, SRCSHORTEN2, SRCEXTEN0, SRCEXTEN1 and SRCEXTEN2 registers * The source address table in RAM. Applications Automatic acknowledgment transmission with correct setting of the frame pending bit: When using indirect frame transmission, the devices will send data requests to poll frames stored on the coordinator. To indicate whether it actually has a frame stored for the device, the coordinator must set or clear the frame pending bit in the returned acknowledgment frame. On most 8- and 16-bit MCUs, however, there is not enough time to determine this, and so the coordinator ends up setting the pending bit regardless of whether there are pending frames for the device (as required by IEEE 802.15.4 [2]). This is wasteful in terms of power consumption, because the polling device will have to keep its receiver enabled for a considerable period of time, even if there are no frames for it. By loading the destination addresses in the indirect frame queue into the source address table and enabling the AUTOPEND function, CC2520 will set the pending bit in outgoing acknowledgment frames automatically. This way the operation is no longer timing critical, as the effort done by the microcontroller is when adding or removing frames in the indirect frame queue and updating the source address table accordingly. Security material look-up: To reduce the time needed to process secured frames, the source address table can be set up so the entries match the table of security keys on the microcontroller. A second level of masking on the table entries allows this application to be combined with automatic setting of the pending bit in acknowledgment frames. Other applications: The two previous applications are the main targets for the source address matching function. However, for proprietary protocols that only rely on the basic IEEE 802.15.4 frame format, there are several other useful applications. For instance, by using it together with the exception binding mechanism, it is possible to create firewall functionality where only a specified set of nodes will be acknowledged. The Source Address Table The source address table begins at address 0x380 in RAM as shown in Figure 11. The space is shared between short and extended addresses, and the SRCSHORTEN0/1/2 and SRCEXTEN0/1/2 registers are used to control which entries are enabled. All values in the table are little-endian (as in the received frames). * A short address entry starts with the 16-bit PAN ID followed by the 16-bit short address. These entries are stored at address 0x380 + (4 x n), where n is a number between 0 and 23. WWW.TI.COM 77 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 * An extended address entry consists only of the 64-bit IEEE extended address. These entries are stored at address 0x380 + (8 x n), where n is a number between 0 and 11. Address Enable Registers Software is responsible for allocating table entries and for making sure that active short and extended address entries do not overlap. There are separate enable bits for short and extended addresses: * Short address entries are enabled in the SRCSHORTEN0, SRCSHORTEN1 and SRCSHORTEN2 registers. Register bit n corresponds to short address entry n. * Extended address entries are enabled in the SRCEXTEN0, SRCEXTEN1 and SRCEXTEN2 registers. In this case register bit 2n corresponds to extended address entry n. This mapping is convenient when creating a combined bit vector (of short and extended enable bits) to find unused entries. Moreover, when read, register bit 2n+1 will always have the same value as register bit 2n, since an extended address occupies the same memory as two short address entries. Figure 22 - Example of enabled table entries Matching Algorithm The SRCMATCH.SRC_MATCH_EN bit controls whether source address matching is enabled or not. When enabled (which is the default setting) and a frame passes the filtering algorithm, the CC2520 will apply one of the algorithms outlined in Figure 22, depending on which type of source address is present. The result is reported in two different forms: * * A 24-bit vector called SRCRESMASK contains a '1' for each enabled short entry with a match, or two '1's for each enabled extended entry with a match (the bit mapping is the same as for the address enable registers upon read access). A 7-bit value called SRCRESINDEX: * When no source address is present in the received frame, or there is no match on the received source address: * * 78 Bits 6:0: 0x3F If there is a match on the received source address: * Bits 4:0: The index of the first entry (i.e. the one with the lowest index number) with a match, 023 for short addresses or 0-11 for extended addresses. * Bit 5: '0' if the match is on a short address, '1' if the match is on an extended address. * Bit 6: The result of the AUTOPEND function WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 Extended Source Address (mode 3) Short Source Address (mode 2) The received source PAN ID is called srcPanid. The received extended address is called srcExt. The received short address is called srcShort. SRCRESMASK = 0x000000; SRCRESINDEX = 0x3F; for (n = 0; n < 24; n++) { bitVector = 0x000001 << n; if (SRCSHORTEN & bitVector) { if ((panid[n] == srcPanid) && (short[n] == srcShort)) { SRCRESMASK |= bitVector; if (SRCRESINDEX == 0x3F) { SRCRESINDEX = n; } } } } SRCRESMASK = 0x000000; SRCRESINDEX = 0x3F; for (n = 0; n < 12; n++) { bitVector = 0x000003 << (2*n); if (SRCEXTEN & bitVector) { if (ext[n] == srxExt) { SRCRESMASK |= bitVector; if (SRCRESINDEX == 0x3F) { SRCRESINDEX = n | 0x20; } } } } Figure 23 - Matching algorithm for short and extended addresses SRCRESMASK and SRCRESINDEX are written to CC2520 memory as soon as the result is available. SRCRESINDEX is also appended to received frames if the FRMCTRL0.AUTOCRC and FRMCTRL0.APPEND_DATA_MODE bits have been set. The value then replaces the 7-bit LQI value of the 16-bit status word. Exceptions When source address matching is enabled and the matching algorithm completes, a SRC_MATCH_DONE exception will be generated, regardless of the result. If a match is found, a SRC_MATCH_FOUND exception will also be generated, immediately before SRC_MATCH_DONE. Figure 24 illustrates the timing of these exceptions: Figure 24 - Exceptions generated by source address matching WWW.TI.COM 79 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 Tips and Tricks * The source address table can be modified safely during frame reception. If one address replaces another while the receiver is active, the corresponding enable bit should be turned off during the modification. This will prevent CC2520 from using a combination of old and new values, because it will only consider entries that are enabled throughout the whole source matching process. The following measures can be taken to avoid that the next received frame overwrites the results from source address matching: * Use the appended SRCRESINDEX result instead of the value written to RAM (this is the recommended approach). * Read the results from RAM before RX_FRM_ACCEPTED occurs in the next received frame. For the shortest frame type this will happen after the sequence number, so the total available time (absolute worst-case with a small safety margin) becomes: 16 s (required preamble) + 32 s (SFD) + 128 s (4 bytes) = 176 s * To increase the available time, clear the FSMCTRL.RX2RX_TIME_OFF bit. This will add another 192 s, for a total of 368 s. This will also reduce the risk of RX overflow. 20.3.4 Frame Check Sequence In receive mode the FCS is verified by hardware if FRMCTRL0.AUTOCRC is enabled. The user is normally only interested in the correctness of the FCS, not the FCS sequence itself. The FCS sequence itself is therefore not written to the RX FIFO during receive. Instead, when FRMCTRL0.AUTOCRC is set the two FCS bytes are replaced by other more useful values. Which values that are substituted for the FCS sequence is configurable in the FRMCTRL0 register. Figure 25: Data in RX FIFO for different settings. Field descriptions: * The RSSI value is measured over the first 8 symbols following the SFD. * The CRC_OK bit indicates whether the FCS is correct (1) or incorrect (0). When incorrect, software is responsible for discarding the frame. * The correlation value is the average correlation value over the 8 first symbols following the SFD. * SRCRESINDEX is the same value that is written to RAM after completion of source address matching. Calculation of the LQI value used by IEEE 802.15.4 is described in section 20.5. 80 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 20.3.5 Acknowledgement Transmission CC2520 includes hardware support for acknowledgment transmission after successful frame reception (i.e. the FCS of the received frame must be correct). Figure 26 shows the format of the acknowledgment frame T T Bytes: 1 1 Start of Frame Preamble Frame Delimiter Sequence Length (SFD) Synchronisation Header PHY Header (SHR) (PHR) 4 1 2 Frame Data Control Field Sequence (FCF) Number MAC Header (MHR) 2 Frame Check Sequence (FCS) MAC Footer (MFR) Figure 26. Acknowledge frame format There are three variable fields in the generated acknowledgment frame: * The pending bit, which may be controlled with command strobes and the AUTOPEND feature * The data sequence number (DSN), which is taken automatically from the last received frame * The FCS, which is given implicitly. There are three different sources for setting the pending bit in an ACK frame (i.e. the SACKPEND strobe, the PENDING_OR register bit and the AUTOPEND feature). The pending bit is set if one or more of these sources are set. Transmission Timing Acknowledgment frames can only be transmitted immediately after frame reception. The transmission timing is controlled by the FSMCTRL.SLOTTED_ACK bit: Figure 27: Acknowledgement timing 802.15.4 requires unslotted mode in non-beacon enabled PANs, and slotted mode for beacon-enabled PANs. Manual Control The SACK, SACKPEND and SNACK command strobes can only be issued during frame reception. If the strobes are issued at any other time, they will have no effect but generating a USAGE_ERROR exception: Figure 28: Command strobe timing The command strobes may be issued several times during reception, however, only the last strobe will have an effect: * No strobe / SNACK / incorrect FCS: No acknowledgment transmission * SACK: Acknowledgment transmission with the frame pending bit cleared * SACKPEND: Acknowledgment transmission with the frame pending bit set WWW.TI.COM 81 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 Automatic Control (AUTOACK) When FRMFILT0.FRM_FILTER_EN and FRMCTRL0.AUTOACK are both enabled, the CC2520 will determine automatically whether or not to transmit acknowledgment frames: * The RX frame must be accepted by frame filtering (indicated by the RX_FRM_ACCEPTED exception) * The acknowledgment request bit must be set in the RX frame * The RX frame must not be a beacon or an acknowledgment frame * The FCS of the RX frame must be correct Automatic acknowledgments can be overridden by the SACK, SACKPEND and SNACK command strobes. For instance, if the microcontroller is low on memory resources and cannot store a received frame, the SNACK strobe can be issued during reception and prevent acknowledging the discarded frame. By default, the AUTOACK feature never sets the frame pending bit in the acknowledgment frames. Apart from manual override with command strobes, there are two options: * Automatic control, using the AUTOPEND feature * Manual control, using the FRMCTRL1.PENDING_OR bit Automatic Setting of the Frame Pending Field (AUTOPEND) When the SRCMATCH.AUTOPEND bit is set, the result from source address matching determines the value of the frame pending field. Upon reception of a frame, the frame pending field in the (possibly) returned acknowledgment will be set, given that: * FRMFILT0.FRAME_FILTER_EN is set. * SRCMATCH.SRC_MATCH_EN is set. * SRCMATCH.AUTOPEND is set. * The received frame matches the current SRCMATCH.PEND_DATAREQ_ONLY setting. * The received source address matches at least one source match table entry, which is enabled in both SRCSHORTEN and SRCSHORTPENDEN, or SRCEXTEN and SRCEXTPENDEN. If the source matching table runs full, the FRMCTRL1.PENDING_OR bit may be used to override the AUTOPEND feature and temporarily acknowledge all frames with the frame pending field set. 20.4 RX FIFO Access The RX FIFO can hold one or more received frames, provided that the total number of bytes is 128 or less. There are two ways to determine the number of bytes in the RX FIFO: * Reading RXFIFOCNT register * Using the FIFOP and FIFO signals in combination with the FIFOPCTRL.FIFOPTHR setting There are several ways to access the RX FIFO: * The RXBUF instruction transfers received bytes from CC2520 to the microcontroller * The RXBUFCP instruction transfers received bytes from CC2520 to the microcontroller and makes a copy of the read bytes in CC2520 RAM * The RXBUFMOV instruction transfers received bytes from the RX FIFO to CC2520 RAM * The RXFIRST register allows software to peek at the head byte in the RX FIFO The SFLUSHRX command strobe resets the RX FIFO, removing all received frames, and clearing all counters, status signals and sticky error conditions. 20.4.1 Using the FIFO and FIFOP Signals The FIFO and FIFOP signals are useful when reading out received frames in small portions while the frame is received: * The FIFO signal (default output on GPIO1) goes high when there is one or more bytes in the RX FIFO, but low when RX overflow has occurred. * The FIFOP signal (default output on GPIO2) goes high when 82 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 * The number of valid bytes in the RX FIFO exceeds the FIFOP threshold value programmed into FIFOPCTRL. When frame filtering is enabled, the bytes in the frame header are not considered as valid until the frame has been accepted. The last byte of a new frame is received, even if the FIFOP threshold is not exceeded. If so, FIFOP will go back low at the next RX FIFO read access. * Received frame Preamble SFD LEN MPDU (LEN[6:0] bytes) Accepted frame SFD FIFO FIFOP (low threshold) Rejected frame FIFOP (high threshold) SFD FIFO FIFOP First byte received Frame filtering complete Last byte received Figure 29: Behavior of FIFO and FIFOP signals. When using the FIFOP signal as an interrupt signal for the microcontroller, the FIFOP threshold should be adjusted by the interrupt service routine to prepare for the next interrupt. When preparing for the last interrupt for a frame, the threshold should match the number of bytes remaining. 20.4.2 Error Conditions There are two error conditions associated with the RX FIFO: * Overflow, in which case the RX FIFO is full when another byte is received * Underflow, in which case software attempts to read a byte from an empty RX FIFO RX overflow is indicated by the RX_OVERFLOW exception and by the signal values FIFO = 0 and FIFOP = 1. When the error occurs, frame reception will be halted. The frames currently stored in the RX FIFO may be read out before the condition is cleared with the SFLUSHRX strobe. Note that rejected frames can generate RX overflow if the condition occurs before the frame is rejected. RX underflow is indicated by the RX_UNDERFLOW exception. RX underflow is a serious error condition that should not occur in error-free software, and the RX_UNDERFLOW exception should only be used for debugging or in a "watchdog" function. Note that the RX_UNDERFLOW exception will not be generated when the read operation occurs simultaneously with reception of a new byte. 20.5 RSSI CC2520 has a built-in RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) which calculates an 8 bit signed digital value that can be read from a register or automatically appended to received frames. The RSSI value is the result of averaging the received power over 8 symbol periods (128 s) as specified by IEEE 802.15.4 [2]. The RSSI value is a 2's complement signed number on a logarithmic scale with 1dB steps. The statusbit RSSI_VALID should be checked before reading the RSSI value register. RSSI_VALID indicates that the RSSI value in the register is in fact valid, which means that the receiver has been enabled for at least 8 symbol periods. WWW.TI.COM 83 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 To find the actual signal power P at the RF pins with reasonable accuracy, an offset has to be added to the RSSI value. P = RSSI - OFFSET [dBm] The offset is an empirical value which is found during characterization and is approximately 76 dBm for the CC2520 reference design. E.g. reading a RSSI value of -10 from the RSSI register means that the RF input power is approximately -86 dBm. It is configurable how CC2520 updates the RSSI register after it has first become valid. If FRMCTRL0.ENERGY_SCAN='0' (default), the RSSI register contains the latest value available, but if this bit is set to `1', a peak search is performed and the RSSI register will contain the largest value since the energy scan was enabled. 20.6 Link Quality Indication The link quality indication (LQI) is a measurement of the strength and/or quality of the received frame as defined by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard [2]. The LQI value is required by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard [2] to be limited to the range 0 through 255, with at least 8 unique values. CC2520 does not provide a LQI value directly, but reports several measurements that can be used by the microcontroller to calculate a LQI value. The RSSI value may be used by the MAC software to calculate the LQI value. This approach has the disadvantage that e.g. a narrowband interferer inside the channel bandwidth will increase the RSSI and thus the LQI value although it actually reduces the true link quality. CC2520 therefore also provides an average correlation value for each incoming frame, based on the 8 first symbols following the SFD. This unsigned 7bit value can be looked upon as a measurement of the "chip error rate," although CC2520 does not do chip decision. As described in section 20.3.4, the average correlation value for the 8 first symbols is appended to each received frame together with the RSSI and CRC OK/not OK when MDMCTRL0.AUTOCRC is set. A correlation value of ~110 indicates a maximum quality frame while a value of ~50 is typically the lowest quality frames detectable by CC2520. Software must convert the correlation value to the range 0-255 as defined by [2], for instance by calculating: LQI = (CORR - a)b limited to the range 0-255, where a and b are found empirically based on PER measurements as a function of the correlation value. A combination of RSSI and correlation values may also be used to generate the LQI value. 84 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 21 Radio Control State Machine The FSM module is responsible for maintaining the TX FIFO and RX FIFO pointers, control of analog "dynamic" signals such as power up / power down, control of the data flow within the RF core, generation of automatic acknowledgement frames and control of all analog RF calibration. na rxe ble =0 idle 0 SRFOFF and tx_active='0' all states rxenable != 0 RX calibration 2 SR XO No r SF STXON TX calibration 32 LUS HR X STXONCCA and cca='1' SF LU SH R X Timeout 192 s Timeout 192 s SFD wait 3-6 TX underflow 56 Timeout 190 s Timeout 2 s SFD detected RXFIFO reset 16 RX/RX wait 14 Fr a no me ac com k sc ple he te du d a le nd d TX 34-38 Underflow Ti m eo rx u 2r x_ o t 19 2 tim r s e_ of f= '1 ' any RX state TX/RX transit 40 Frame sent TX final 39 rxenable! = 0 Frame not for me RX 7-13 TX shutdown 26, 57 Overflow Slotted ACK ACK delay 55 0 rxenmask!= RX overflow 17 Unslotted ACK ACK calibration 48 Timeout X s (depending on length byte of the received frame) Timeour 192 s rxenable = 0 ACK 49-54 SRFOFF or SRXON all TX and ACK states Figure 30: Main FSM Table 18 shows the mapping from FSM state to the number which can be read from the FSMSTAT0 register.

The reference frequency must be 32 MHz. Because the crystal frequency is used as reference for the data rate as well as other internal signal processing functions, other frequencies cannot be used. The crystal must be connected between the XOSC32M_Q1 and XOSC32M_Q2 pins. The oscillator is designed for parallel mode operation of the crystal. In addition, loading capacitors (C121 and C131) for the crystal are required. The loading capacitor values depend on the total load capacitance, CL, specified for the crystal. The total load capacitance seen between the crystal terminals should equal CL for the crystal to oscillate at the specified frequency. CC2520 has the ability to add more capacitance in order to tune the oscillator frequency. The amount of extra capacitance is configurable with the FREQTUNE register. C L = C tune + C parasitic + 1 1 1 + C121 C131 The parasitic capacitance is constituted by pin input capacitance and PCB stray capacitance. The total parasitic capacitance is typically 2 pF - 5 pF. Note that the default value for the FREQTUNE register means "no added capacitance", which means that only reduction of the frequency is possible. By reducing the external capacitors (C121 and C131), the default frequency is increased. This way, the actual frequency tuning range can be moved so that both positive and negative tuning around the target frequency is possible. The crystal oscillator is amplitude regulated. This means that a high current is used to start up the oscillations. When the amplitude builds up, the current is reduced to what is necessary to maintain a stable oscillation. This ensures a fast start-up and keeps the drive level to a minimum. The ESR of the crystal must be within the specification in order to ensure a reliable start-up. See section 6 for crystal specific parameters (including tuning). WWW.TI.COM 87 CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 23 External Clock Output CC2520 can provide a 50-50 duty cycle clock signal to external circuits. This is an advantage for low-cost systems where one wants as few components as possible, because both the microcontroller and CC2520 can run on the same crystal. CC2520 has a clock divider that can make glitch free changes between many different frequencies between 1 and 16 MHz. After a reset, CC2520 will output a 1MHz clock on GPIO0. Note that CC2520 needs to be in active mode in order for the crystal oscillator to be running and thus have the ability to provide an external clock. The procedure for waking a system up from LPM2 is as follows: * MCU is running on RC oscillator, CC2520 is in LPM2 * Change CC2520 from LPM2 to active mode. * Switch the MCU over to the 1 MHz clock that CC2520 outputs on GPIO0. * Change to the desired clock frequency. The procedure for bringing a system from active mode to LPM2 is as follows: * Switch MCU over to RC oscillator. * Set CC2520 in LPM2. 88 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 24 Random Number Generation CC2520 can output random bits in two different ways. Common for these are that the chip should be in RX when generation of random bits are required. One must also make sure that the chip has been in RX long enough for the transients to have died out. A convenient way to do this is to wait for the RSSI valid signal to go high. * Single random bits from either the I or Q channel (configurable) can be output on GPIO pins at a rate of 8MHz. One can also select to xor the I and Q bits before they are output on a GPIO pin. These bits are taken from the least significant bit in the I and/or Q channel after the decimation filter in the demodulator. * CC2520 supports an instruction called RANDOM that allows the user to read randomly generated bytes over the SPI. These bytes are generated from the least significant bit of the I channel output from the channel filter in the demodulator. ADC I Decimator I Channel filter I ADC Q Decimator Q Channel filter Q LSB SPI LSB LSB GPIO Figure 31: Random bit generation in the demodulator A simple test of the RANDOM instruction shows satisfactory performance for most practical uses. About 20 million bytes were read using the RANDOM instruction. When interpreted as unsigned integers between 0 and 255, the mean value was 127.6518, which indicates that there is a DC component. The FFT of the 214 first bytes is shown in Figure 33. Note that the DC component is clearly visible. A histogram (32 bins) of the 20 million values is shown in Figure 34. 5 6.5 0 x 10 6.45 -10 6.4 -20 6.35 dB -30 6.3 -40 6.25 6.2 -50 6.15 -60 6.1 -70 -80 6.05 -3 -2 -1 0 Frequency [rad] 1 2 Figure 32: FFT of the random bytes 6 3 0 50 100 150 200 250 Figure 33: Histogram of 20 million bytes generated with the RANDOM instruction For the first 20 million individual bits, the probability of a one is P(1)=0.500602 and P(0)=1-P(1)=0.499398.

There are software packages available on the internet that may be useful in this respect [8], [9]. 90 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 25 Memory Management Instructions CC2520 has several instructions for managing the memory contents. These instructions are supported in order to allow the user to manipulate the memory contents in a flexible way so that SPI traffic is reduced to a minimum. These instructions are particularly useful when working with secure frames. Note that the parameters for these instructions may be set to values that make the blocks of input data and output data overlap. This is perfectly OK for all instructions except MEMCPR which will only work with overlapping input/output if C16. For example: to shift a 9 byte block of data one byte up, the MEMCP instructions can be used as follows: MEMCP(P=0,C=9,A=0x22A,E=0x22B).

In other words the byte at memory location A+n is copied to memory location E+C-1-n. 25.5 MEMXCP The MEMXCP instruction xors two blocks of data and writes the result back to the memory location of the second block. This is primarily used as a subroutine for some of the security instructions. It can also be used to clear (set to zero) blocks of RAM with one short SPI instruction. By using the same source and target address, the data is xor'ed with itself, which always results in zero being written back to the RAM. 92 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 26 Security Instructions CC2520 has extensive support for security operations defined in IEEE 802.15.4. The latest specification version [2] describes only the CCM* mode of operation. CCM* uses CTR-mode encryption for confidentiality and CBC-MAC for authentication. In CC2520 these operations are available as separate instructions. In addition the basic ECB instruction is available and an instruction for manipulation of the counter used in CTR-mode encryption/decryption. Note that all the different security operations in IEEE802.15.4 only use AES 128bit encryption. Decryption is never used and thus CC2520 only supports encryption. ECB decryption is not supported. Note that for all the security instructions, the key and counter should reside in RAM in reversed byte order compared to the data. This can either be done by reversing the byte order of the key/counter before it is written to the RAM, or the MEMCPR instructions can be used to reverse the byte order of keys/counters that are already in the RAM. 26.1 Decoding of the Flags Field in CC2520 This section defines the security flags used during counter mode encryption and CBC-MAC mode authentication (also includes CCM*) and how these are represented in CC2520 RAM. m(1:0) 7 - Flags byte written to RAM 6 5 4 3 2 CTR Flag CBC Flag bits 7:6 bits 7:6 1 0 L LUT(m(1:0)) 7 6 5 4 3 Res Res 0 0 0 2 1 0 L 7 6 Res Adata Flags byte used for CTR operation 5 4 M 3 2 1 0 L Flags byte used for CBCMAC operation Figure 35: Security flags Figure 36 shows how the most significant byte of the counter in CC2520 RAM represents both the CTR and CBC-MAC security flags. For the CBC-MAC flags, a lookup procedure is used to translate the two least significant bits of the m parameter to the CBCMAC instruction in the M value that is used in the flag byte. The same translation is used for the CBC-MAC part of the CCM instruction.

Note that C=3 is an illegal parameter value. 26.3 ECB The ECB instruction performs basic block encryption. It is mainly intended as a function used by the more complicated instructions such as CBC-MAC and CCM. ECB by itself is not very useful, because there is no decryption instruction. The cipher text output can not be recovered. This should not be considered as a weakness, because ECB block encryption/decryption is not considered to be a secure form of communicating. The values of the parameters E and C should be selected with care so that the instruction does not overwrite a section of the memory that is already in use. The ECB instruction will work exactly as ECBO if E=A. 94 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 26.4 ECBO The ECBO instruction is identical to ECB, except that it will store its output to the same memory locations as the input was read from. It will always output 16 bytes even though the input was not a full 16 bytes. 26.5 ECBX The ECBX instruction is identical to ECB, except that it will bitwise XOR the result from the encryption with the memory contents of the output address. The values of the parameters E and C should be selected with care so that the instruction does not overwrite a section of the memory that is already in use. The ECBX instruction will work exactly as ECBXO if E=A. Note that the terminology from counter mode encryption is used in Figure 37.

It outputs C ciphertext bytes. The 2 least significant bytes of the counter are incremented after each 16 byte block of plaintext has been processed. 96 WWW.TI.COM CC2520 DATASHEET 2.4 GHZ IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE(R) RF TRANSCEIVER SWRS068 - DECEMBER 2007 If the last block of plaintext is not 16 bytes long, only the required number of bits (from the MSB end) from the encryption is used in the XOR operation. The UCTR instruction performs counter mode decryption and is absolutely identical to the CTR instruction because counter mode encryption and decryption are symmetrical operations. 26.7 CBC-MAC The CBC-MAC instruction performs authentication. Note that if M[1:0]=0 no authentication code is output. For other values of M[1:0] the number of authentication bytes that are output is 2M[1:0]+1. If M[2]=0 the plaintext data is prefixed with the value of C expanded to 8 bits by concatenation of a 0 at the MSB end. 26.8 CCM / UCCM The CCM instruction uses both CBC-MAC and CTR to perform both authentication and encryption. It supports the CCM* mode of operation as specified in IEEE 802.14.5-2006 [2]. The authentication (CBC-MAC) part calculates a Message Integrity Code (MIC) over the address range A to A+F+C-1. The resulting MIC is encrypted with CTR mode encryption using the counter value with index 0. The encryption (CTR) part encrypts the address range A+F to A+F+C-1 using CTR mode encryption and counter values with index 1 and up, and thus generates C bytes of ciphertext. The output which is the concatenation of the ciphertext and the encrypted MIC is written to memory starting at address E. The UCCM instruction decrypts the ciphertext in the address range A+F to A+F+C-1 using CTR mode decryption. A MIC is then generated in the same way as for the CCM instruction, and compared to the MIC in the input data. The result of the MIC comparison is stored in the DPUSTAT register. 26.8.1 Inputs to the CCM and UCCM Instructions The input parameters to the CCM and UCCM instructions are described in detail in Figure 38 and Figure 39 with notes on how they related to the terminology used in the IEEE 802.15.4 specifications.

The packet sniffer outputs a clock and a data signal which should be sampled on the rising edges of the clock. The two packet sniffer signals are observable as GPIO outputs. For accurate time stamping, the SFD signal should also be output. Because CC2520 only supports a data rate of 250kbps, the packet sniffer clock frequency is 250 kHz. The data is output serially with the MSB of each byte first, which is opposite of the actual RF transmission, but more convenient when processing the data. It is possible to use an SPI slave to receive the data stream. When sniffing frames in TX mode, the data that is read from the TX FIFO by the modulator is the same data that is output by the packet sniffer. However, if automatic CRC generation is enabled, the packet sniffer will NOT output these 2 bytes. Instead, it will replace the CRC bytes with 0x8080. This value can never occur as the last two bytes of a received frame (when automatic CRC checking is enabled), and thus it provides a way for the receiver of the sniffed data to separate frames that were transmitted by the CC2520 and frames that were received by the CC2520. When sniffing frames in RX mode, the data that is written to the RX FIFO by the demodulator is the same data that is output by the packet sniffer. In other words, the last two bytes are either the received CRC value or the CRC OK/RSSI/correlation/SRCRESINDEX value that may automatically replace the CRC value, depending on configuration settings. Note that in order to observe the packet sniffing data on GPIO pins, the packet sniffer module must be enabled in the MDMTEST1 register, and the correct GPIO configuration must be written to any of the GPIOn registers.

Bit mnemonic Reset value Mode Description 7:6 DEM_NUM_ZEROS[1:0] 01 R/W Sets how many zero symbols have to be detected before the sync word when searching for sync. Note that only one is required to have a correlation value above the correlation threshold set in MDMCTRL1 register. 00 : reserved 01 : 1 zero symbols 10 : 2 zero symbols 11 : 3 zero symbols NOTE This value should be updated to "10" before attempting RX. Testing has shown that the reset value causes too many false frames to be received. 5 DEMOD_AVG_MODE 0 R/W Defines the behavior or the frequency offset averaging filter. 0 - Lock average level after preamble match. Restart frequency offset calibration when searching for the next frame. 1 - Continuously update average level. 4:1 PREAMBLE_LENGTH [3:0] 0010 R/W The number of preamble bytes (2 zero-symbols) to be sent in TX mode prior to the SFD, encoded in steps of 2. The reset value of 2 is compliant with IEEE 802.15.4 0000 - 2 leading zero bytes 0001 - 3 leading zero bytes 0010 - 4 leading zero bytes ... 1111 - 17 leading zero bytes 0 TX_FILTER 1 R/W Defines what kind of TX filter that is used. The normal TX filter is as defined by the IEEE802.15.4 standard. Extra filtering may be applied in order to lower the out of band emissions. 0 - Normal TX filtering 1 - Enable extra filtering MDMCTRL1, A 0x047, R 0x2E, Controls modem Bit no. Bit mnemonic Reset value Mode Description 7:6 RESERVED 00 R0 Read as zero 5 CORR_THR_SFD 1 R/W Defines requirements for SFD detection: 0 - The correlation value of one of the zero symbols of the preamble must be above the correlation threshold. 1 - The correlation value of one zero symbol of the preamble and both symbols in the SFD must be above the correlation threshold. NOTE This value should be changed to `0' before attempting RX. This will give the best trade off between good sensitivity and few false SFD detections. 4:0 CORR_THR[4:0] 0x0E R/W Demodulator correlator threshold value, required before SFD search. Threshold value adjusts how the receiver synchronizes to data from the radio. If threshold is set too low sync can more easily be found on noise. If set too high the sensitivity will be reduced but sync will not likely be found on noise. I combination with DEM_NUM_ZEROS the system can be tuned so sensitivity is high with less synch found on noise. NOTE This value should be changed to 0x14 before attempting RX. Testing has shown that too many false frames are received if the reset value is used.

Bit mnemonic Reset value Mode Description 7:0 FREQEST[7:0] 0x00 R Signed 2's complement value. Contains an estimate of the frequency offset between carrier and the receiver LO. The offset frequency is FREQESTx7800 Hz. DEM_AVG_MODE controls when this estimate is updated. If DEM_AVG_MODE = 0 it is updated until sync is found. Then the frequency offset estimate is frozen until the end of the received frame. If DEM_AVG_MODE = 1 it is updated as long as the demodulator is enabled.
