Functional Overview
The CYRF6986 IC provides a complete WirelessUSB SPI to
antenna wireless MODEMs. The SoC is designed to implement
wireless device links operating in the worldwide 2.4 GHz ISM
frequency band. It is intended for systems compliant with
worldwide regulations covered by ETSI EN 301 489-1 V1.41,
ETSI EN 300 328-1 V1.3.1 (Europe), FCC CFR 47 Part 15 (USA
and Industry Canada), and TELEC ARIB_T66_March, 2003
(Japan).
The SoC contains a 2.4 GHz, 1 Mbps GFSK radio transceiver,
packet data buffering, packet framer, DSSS baseband controller,
Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), and SPI interface
for data transfer and device configuration.
The radio supports 98 discrete 1 MHz channels (regulations may
limit the use of some of these channels in certain jurisdictions).
The baseband performs DSSS spreading/despreading, Start of
Packet (SOP), End of Packet (EOP) detection, and CRC16
generation and checking. The baseband may also be configured
to automatically transmit Acknowledge (ACK) handshake
packets whenever a valid packet is received.
When in receive mode, with packet framing enabled, the device
is always ready to receive data transmitted at any of the
supported bit rates. This enables the implementation of
mixed-rate systems in which different devices use different data
rates. This also enables the implementation of dynamic data rate
systems that use high data rates at shorter distances or in a
low-moderate interference environment or both. It changes to
lower data rates at longer distances or in high interference
environments or both.
Data Transmission Modes
The SoC supports two different data transmission modes:
■
■
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 given
environment.
Link Layer Modes
The CYRF6986 IC device supports the following data packet
framing features:
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.
CRC16
The device may be configured to append a 16 bit CRC16 to each
packet. The CRC16 uses the USB CRC polynomial with the
added programmability of the seed. If enabled, the receiver
verifies the calculated CRC16 for the payload data against the
received value in the CRC16 field. The seed value for the CRC16
calculation is configurable, and the CRC16 transmitted may be
calculated using either the loaded seed value or a zero seed; the
received data CRC16 is checked against both the configured
and zero CRC16 seeds.
In GFSK mode, data is transmitted at 1 Mbps, without any
DSSS.
CRC16 detects the following errors:
■
Any one bit in error.
In DSSS mode eight bits (8DR, 32-chip) are encoded in each
derived code symbol transmitted, resulting in effective 250 kbps
data rate.
■
Any two bits in error (irrespective of how far apart, which
column, and so on).

■
Any odd number of bits in error (irrespective of the location).

Packet Buffers
All data transmission and reception use the 16 byte packet
buffers - one for transmission and one for reception.
The transmit buffer allows loading a complete packet of up to 16
bytes of payload data in one burst SPI transaction. This is then
transmitted with no further MCU intervention. Similarly, the
receive buffer allows receiving an entire packet of payload data
up to 16 bytes with no firmware intervention required until the
packet reception is complete.
The CYRF6986 IC supports packets up to 255 bytes. However,
the actual maximum packet length depends on the accuracy of
the clock on each end of the link and the data mode. Interrupts
are provided to allow an MCU to use the transmit and receive
buffers as FIFOs. When transmitting a packet longer than 16
bytes, the MCU can load 16 bytes initially, and add further bytes
to the transmit buffer as transmission of data creates space in
the buffer. Similarly, when receiving packets longer than 16
bytes, the MCU must fetch received data from the FIFO
periodically during packet reception to prevent it from
overflowing.
Auto Transaction Sequencer (ATS)
The CYRF6986 IC provides automated support for transmission
and reception of acknowledged data packets.
When transmitting in transaction mode, the device automatically:
■
Starts the crystal and synthesizer
■
Enters transmit mode
■
Transmits the packet in the transmit buffer
■
Transitions to receive mode and waits for an ACK packet
■
Transitions to the transaction end state when an ACK packet
is received or a timeout period expires
Document Number: 001-66073 Rev. *D
Similarly, when receiving in transaction mode, the device
automatically:
■
Waits in receive mode for a valid packet to be received
■
Transitions to transmit mode, transmits an ACK packet
■
Transitions to the transaction end state (receive mode to await
the next packet, and so on.)
The contents of the packet buffers are not affected by the
transmission or reception of ACK packets.
In each case, the entire packet transaction takes place without
any need for MCU firmware action (as long as packets of 16
bytes or less are used). To transmit data, the MCU must load the
data packet to be transmitted, set the length, and set the TX GO
bit. Similarly, when receiving packets in transaction mode,
firmware must retrieve the fully received packet in response to
an interrupt request indicating reception of a packet.
Data Rates
The CYRF6986 IC supports the following data rates by
combining the PN code lengths and data transmission modes
described in the previous sections:
■
1000 kbps (GFSK)
■
250 kbps (32 chip 8DR)
Functional Block Overview
2.4 GHz Radio
The radio transceiver is a dual conversion low IF architecture
optimized for power, range, and 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 35 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 begin, the frequency
synthesizer must settle. The settling time varies depending on
channel; 25 fast channels are provided with a maximum settling
time of 100 s.
The ‘fast channels’ (less than 100 s settling time) are every third
channel, starting at 0 up to and including 72 (for example, 0, 3,
6, 9 …. 69, 72).
Baseband and Framer
✟
Command Increment (bit 6) = ‘1’ enables SPI auto address
increment. When set, the address field automatically increments
at the end of each data byte in a burst access. Otherwise the
same address is accessed.
✟
Six bits of address
✟
Eight bits of data
The device receives SCK from an application MCU on the SCK
pin. Data from the application MCU is shifted in on the MOSI pin.
Data to the application MCU is shifted out on the MISO pin. The
active LOW Slave Select (SS) pin must be asserted to initiate an
SPI transfer.
The application MCU can initiate SPI data transfers using a
multi-byte transaction. The first byte is the Command/Address
byte, and the following bytes are the data bytes shown in Table 2
through Figure 6 on page 7.
The SPI communications interface has a burst mechanism,
where the first byte can be followed by as many data bytes as
required. A burst transaction is terminated by deasserting the
slave select (SS = 1).
The SPI communications interface single read and burst read
sequences are shown in Figure 4 on page 7 and Figure 5 on
page 7, respectively.
The SPI communications interface single write and burst write
sequences are shown in Figure 6 on page 7 and Figure 7 on
page 7, respectively.
Packet Buffers and Radio Configuration Registers
This interface may be optionally operated in a 3-pin mode with
the MISO and MOSI functions combined in a single bidirectional
data pin (SDAT). When using 3-pin mode, user firmware must
ensure that the MOSI pin on the MCU is in a high impedance
state except when MOSI is actively transmitting data.
Packet data and configuration registers are accessed through
the SPI interface. All configuration registers are directly
addressed through the address field in the SPI packet.
Configuration registers allow configuration of DSSS PN codes,
data rate, operating mode, interrupt masks, interrupt status, and
so on.
The device registers may be written to or read from one byte at
a time, or several sequential register locations may be written or
read in a single SPI transaction using incrementing burst mode.
In addition to single byte configuration registers, the device
includes register files. Register files are FIFOs written to and
read from using nonincrementing burst SPI transactions.
The baseband and framer blocks provide the DSSS encoding
and decoding, SOP generation and reception, CRC16
generation and checking, and EOP detection and length field.
SPI Interface
The CYRF6986 IC has an SPI interface supporting
communication between an application MCU and one or more
slave devices (including the CYRF6986). The SPI interface
supports single-byte and multi-byte serial transfers using either
4-pin or 3-pin interfacing. The SPI communications interface
consists of Slave Select (SS), Serial Clock (SCK), Master
Out-Slave In (MOSI), Master In-Slave Out (MISO), or Serial Data
(SDAT).
SPI communication may be described as the following:
✟
Command Direction (bit 7) = ‘1’ enables SPI write transaction.
A ‘0’ enables SPI read transactions.
The IRQ pin function may be optionally multiplexed onto the
MOSI pin. When this option is enabled, the IRQ function is not
available while the SS pin is LOW. When using this configuration,
user firmware must ensure that the MOSI pin on the MCU is in a
high impedance state whenever the SS pin is HIGH.
The SPI interface is not dependent on the internal 12 MHz clock.
Registers may therefore be read from or written to when the
device is in sleep mode, and the 12 MHz oscillator disabled.
The SPI interface and the IRQ and RST pins have a separate
voltage reference pin (VIO). This enables the device to interface
directly to MCUs operating at voltages below the CYRF6986 IC
supply voltage.

CYRF6986
Interrupts
Power Management
The device provides an interrupt (IRQ) output, which is
configurable to indicate the occurrence of various different
events. The IRQ pin may be programmed to be either active
HIGH or active LOW, and be either a CMOS or open drain output.
The available interrupts are described in the section Registers
on page 11.
The operating voltage of the device is 2.7 V to 3.6 V DC, which
is applied to the VBAT pin. The device can be shut down to a fully
static sleep mode by writing to the FRC END = 1 and
END STATE = 000 bits in the XACT_CFG_ADR register over the
SPI interface. The device enters sleep mode within 35 µs after
the last SCK positive edge at the end of this SPI transaction.
Alternatively, the device may be configured to automatically
enter sleep mode after completing the packet transmission or
reception. When in sleep mode, the on-chip oscillator is stopped,
but the SPI interface remains functional. The device wakes from
sleep mode automatically when the device is commanded to
enter transmit or receive mode. When resuming from sleep
mode, there is a short delay while the oscillator restarts. The
device can be configured to assert the IRQ pin when the
oscillator has stabilized.
The CYRF6986 IC features three sets of interrupts: transmit,
receive, and system interrupts. These interrupts all share a
single pin (IRQ), but can be independently enabled or disabled.
The contents of the enable registers are preserved when
switching between transmit and receive modes.
If more than one interrupt is enabled at any time, it is necessary
to read the relevant status register to determine which event
caused the IRQ pin to assert. Even when a given interrupt source
is disabled, the status of the condition that would otherwise
cause an interrupt can be determined by reading the appropriate
status register. It is therefore possible to use the devices without
the IRQ pin, by polling the status registers to wait for an event,
rather than using the IRQ pin.
Clocks
A 12 MHz crystal (30 ppm or better) is directly connected
between XTAL and GND without the need for external
capacitors. A digital clock out function is provided, with
selectable output frequencies of 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, or 12 MHz. This
output may be used to clock an external microcontroller (MCU)
or ASIC. This output is enabled by default, but may be disabled.
