The next diagram illustrates operation of the PA ramp control system for a GPRS transmit sequence. In this case, the
GPRS_TX1 bit should be programmed to one (1), and GPRS_TX2 is set to zero (0). As in the GSM burst case, the sequence is
initiated by taking the TXST pin high. The DAC1 pin will ramp to the output level set by the PAR and PAG settings. The new power
level for the next GPRS slot should then be programmed into the PAG register. When TXST is taken low and then high again, the
system will ramp to the new value in the PAG register, again using the waveform programmed into the PAR registers. (The
change is initiated on the rising edge of TXST.) This can continue indefinitely until a PAG value of zero is programmed. The sys-
tem will then ramp down to the minimum (DAC1V) value on the falling edge of TXST. The TXEN pin will then return low after a
delay set by TXEND after the ramp down has completed.
