6.14.1.1.1 Chip Status Control Register (0x00)

Table 6-16 describes the bit fields of the Chip Status Control register. This register controls the power mode, RF on or off, AM or PM, and direct mode.

Default Value: 0x01, set at EN = L or POR = H

Table 6-16 Chip Status Control Register (0x00)

BIT NO. BIT NAME FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
B7 stby 1 = Standby mode Standby mode keeps all supply regulators and the 13.56-MHz SYS_CLK oscillator running (typical start-up time to full operation is 100 µs).
0 = Active mode Active mode (default)
B6 direct 1 = Direct mode 0 or 1 Provides user direct access to AFE (direct mode 0) or lets the user add custom framing (direct mode 1). Bit 6 of the ISO Control register must be set before entering direct mode 0 or 1.
0 = ISO mode (default) Uses SPI or parallel communication with automatic framing and ISO decoders
B5 rf_on 1 = RF output active Transmitter on, receivers on
0 = RF output not active Transmitter off
B4 rf_pwr 1 = Half output power

TX_OUT (pin 5) = 8-Ω output impedance

P = 100 mW (+20 dBm) at 5 V, P = 33 mW (+15 dBm) at 3.3 V
0 = Full output power

TX_OUT (pin 5) = 4-Ω output impedance

P = 200 mW (+23 dBm) at 5 V, P = 70 mW (+18 dBm) at 3.3 V
B3 pm_on 1 = Selects aux RX input RX_IN2 input is used
0 = Selects main RX input RX_IN1 input is used
B2 Reserved
B1 rec_on 1 = Receiver activated for external field measurement Forces enabling of receiver and TX oscillator. Used for external field measurement.
0 = Automatic enable Allows enable of the receiver by bit 5 of this register
B0 vrs5_3 1 = 5-V operation Selects the VIN voltage range
0 = 3-V operation
