Functional Block Overview
All the blocks that make up the PRoC LPstar are presented in
this section.
2.4 GHz Radio
The radio transceiver is a dual conversion low IF architecture
optimized for power and range/robustness. The radio employs
channel matched filters to achieve high performance in the
presence of interference. An integrated Power Amplifier (PA)
provides up to 0 dBm transmit power, with an output power
control range of 30 dB in six steps. The supply current of the
device is reduced as the RF output power is reduced.

Frequency Synthesizer
Before transmission or reception may commence, it is necessary
for the frequency synthesizer to settle. The settling time varies
depending on channel; 25 fast channels are provided with a
maximum settling time of 100 s.
The “fast channels” (<100 s settling time) are every third
frequency, starting at 2400 MHz up to and including 2472 MHz
(that is, 0,3,6,9…….69 and 72).
Baseband and Framer
The baseband and framer blocks provide the DSSS encoding
and decoding, SOP generation and reception and CRC16
generation and checking, and EOP detection and length field.
Data Transmission Modes and Data Rates
The SoC supports two different data transmission modes:
■ In GFSK mode, data is transmitted at 1 Mbps, without any
DSSS.
■ In DSSS mode eight bits (8DR, 32 chip) are encoded in each
derived code symbol transmitted, resulting in effective 250 kbps
data rate.
32 chip Pseudo Noise (PN) codes are supported. The two data
transmission modes apply to the data after the SOP. In particular
the length, data, and CRC16 are all sent in the same mode. In
general, DSSS reduce packet error rate in any environment.
Link Layer Modes
SOP
Packets begin with a two-symbol SoP marker. If framing is
disabled then an SOP event is inferred whenever two successive
correlations are detected. The SOP_CODE_ADR code used for
the SOP is different from that used for the “body” of the packet,
and if desired may be a different length. SOP must be configured
to be the same length on both sides of the link.
Length
Length field is the first eight bits after the SOP symbol, and is
transmitted at the payload data rate. An EoP condition is inferred
after reception of the number of bytes defined in the length field,
plus two bytes for the CRC16.
