10.16.1 RF data modes
There are two modes of operation in using the RF output in either the data buffer mode
or MCU direct mode.
10.16.1.1 RF data buffer mode
In the RF data buffer mode the transmissions are sent by dedicated logic hardware while
the MCU can be put into a low power mode until the transmission is completed. This RF
state machine is clocked by the MFO which is enabled when the SEND bit is set and
when any of the LFR, SMI or MCU are operating.
