Field Description
7:0
RFBT[7:0]
RFBT[7:0] – The 8 bits RFBT[7:0] select the interframe timing between multiple frames of transmission. The
base time value is equal to a nominal one millisecond for each count of the RFBT[7:0] bits. The RFBT[7:0]
control bits are cleared by the RFMRST signal and must be set to either 0 or between 5 and 255.

BOOST
BOOST – VCO Power Consumption Boost Control
This bit controls the VCO power consumption in order to decrease the phase noise required by the
Japanese regulation. The BOOST control bit is cleared by the RFMRST signal.
0 = The VCO runs at its lower power consumption level (higher phase noise); Result of Reset
1 = The VCO runs at its higher power consumption level (lower phase noise).
6:0
LFSR[6:0]
LFSR[6:0] – Pseudo-Random timer
The 7 bits LFSR[6:0] select the current seed value of the LFSR when enabling pseudo-random timing
intervals when any of the LFSR[6:0] bits are set. The value written to this register is loaded into the actual
LFSR when the SEND bit is set. The time value is equal to a nominal one millisecond for each count of
the resulting LFSR[6:0] bits. A value of $00 placed in the LFSR causes the LFSR to stay at the $00 state
on each clocking of the LFSR. To cause the LFSR to cycle through its pseudo-random number sequence
requires that any value other than $00 be written to the LFSR[6:0] bits.

GAIN[1:0]
VCO_GAIN[1:0] – VCO Gain Selection
The two bits VCO_GAIN[1:0] bit is set and the VCO_GAIN[0] bit is cleared by the RFMRST signal. VCO_
GAIN does not normally need to be adjusted by the end user.
