When combined with an appropriate microcontroller
(MCU), the MC13202 provides a cost-effective solution
for short-range data links and networks. Interface with
the MCU is accomplished using a four wire serial
peripheral interface (SPI) connection and an interrupt
request output which allows for the use of a variety of
processors. The software and processor can be scaled to
fit applications ranging from simple point-to-point
systems, through complete ZigBee networking. For
Freescale reserves the right to change the detail specifications as may be required to permit improvements in the design of its
products.

Functional Description
The following sections provide a detailed description of the MC13202 functionality including the
operating modes and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
6.1
MC13202 Operational Modes
The MC13202 has a number of operational modes that allow for low-current operation. Transition from
the Off to Idle mode occurs when RST is negated. Once in Idle, the SPI is active and is used to control the
IC. Transition to Hibernate and Doze modes is enabled via the SPI. These modes are summarized, along
with the transition times, in Table 8. Current drain in the various modes is listed in Table 3, DC Electrical
Characteristics.

6.2
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The host microcontroller directs the MC13202, checks its status, and reads/writes data to the device
through the 4-wire SPI port. The transceiver operates as a SPI slave device only. A transaction between
the host and the MC13202 occurs as multiple 8-bit bursts on the SPI. The SPI signals are:
1. Chip Enable (CE) - A transaction on the SPI port is framed by the active low CE input signal. A
transaction is a minimum of 3 SPI bursts and can extend to a greater number of bursts.
2. SPI Clock (SPICLK) - The host drives the SPICLK input to the MC13202. Data is clocked into the
master or slave on the leading (rising) edge of the return-to-zero SPICLK and data out changes
state on the trailing (falling) edge of SPICLK.
NOTE
For Freescale microcontrollers, the SPI clock format is the clock phase
control bit CPHA = 0 and the clock polarity control bit CPOL = 0.
3. Master Out/Slave In (MOSI) - Incoming data from the host is presented on the MOSI input.
4. Master In/Slave Out (MISO) - The MC13202 presents data to the master on the MISO output.

Although the SPI port is fully static, internal memory, timer and interrupt arbiters require an internal clock
(CLKcore), derived from the crystal reference oscillator, to communicate from the SPI registers to internal
registers and memory.
6.2.1
SPI Burst Operation
The SPI port of an MCU transfers data in bursts of 8 bits with most significant bit (MSB) first. The master
(MCU) can send a byte to the slave (transceiver) on the MOSI line and the slave can send a byte to the
master on the MISO line. Although an MC13202 transaction is three or more SPI bursts long, the timing
of a single SPI burst is shown in Figure 8.

6.2.2
SPI Transaction Operation
Although the SPI port of an MCU transfers data in bursts of 8 bits, the MC13202 requires that a complete
SPI transaction be framed by CE, and there will be three (3) or more bursts per transaction. The assertion
of CE to low signals the start of a transaction. The first SPI burst is a write of an 8-bit header to the
transceiver (MOSI is valid) that defines a 6-bit address of the internal resource being accessed and
identifies the access as being a read or write operation. In this context, a write is data written to the
MC13202 and a read is data written to the SPI master. The following SPI bursts will be either the write
data (MOSI is valid) to the transceiver or read data from the transceiver (MISO is valid).
Although the SPI bus is capable of sending data simultaneously between master and slave, the MC13202
never uses this mode. The number of data bytes (payload) will be a minimum of 2 bytes and can extend to
a larger number depending on the type of access. The number of payload bytes sent will always be an even
integer. After the final SPI burst, CE is negated to high to signal the end of the transaction. Refer to the
MC13202 Reference Manual, (MC13202RM) for more details on SPI registers and transaction types.
An example SPI read transaction with a 2-byte payload is shown in Figure 9.

should be tied to ground if left as inputs, or if left unconnected, they should be programmed as outputs set to the low state.

3 By default MISO is tri-stated when CE is negated. For low power operation, miso_hiz_en (Bit 11, Register 07) should be set
to zero so that MISO is driven low when CE is negated.

Crystal Oscillator Reference Frequency
This section provides application specific information regarding crystal oscillator reference design and
recommended crystal usage.
8.1
Crystal Oscillator Design Considerations
The 802.15.4 Standard requires that several frequency tolerances be kept within ± 40 ppm accuracy. This
means that a total offset up to 80 ppm between transmitter and receiver will still result in acceptable
performance. The MC13202 transceiver provides onboard crystal trim capacitors to assist in meeting this
performance.
The primary determining factor in meeting this specification is the tolerance of the crystal oscillator
reference frequency. A number of factors can contribute to this tolerance and a crystal specification will
quantify each of them:
1. The initial (or make) tolerance of the crystal resonant frequency itself.
2. The variation of the crystal resonant frequency with temperature.
3. The variation of the crystal resonant frequency with time, also commonly known as aging.
4. The variation of the crystal resonant frequency with load capacitance, also commonly known as
pulling. This is affected by:
a) The external load capacitor values - initial tolerance and variation with temperature.
b) The internal trim capacitor values - initial tolerance and variation with temperature.
c) Stray capacitance on the crystal pin nodes - including stray on-chip capacitance, stray package
capacitance and stray board capacitance; and its initial tolerance and variation with
temperature.
5. Whether or not a frequency trim step will be performed in production
Freescale requires the use of a 16 MHz crystal with a
