Transmit Test Mode
There is a test mode in the RF6001 to assist in transmitter testing. This mode is invoked by setting SDI bit TXTEST=1. Pseudo-
random data based on a PN9 sequence is used as the data source to the GMSK modulator. The data sequence is initiated by
a rising edge on TXST and ends on the falling edge of TXST. The Transmit Turn-On Sequence defined in an earlier section
should be followed to allow proper VCO warm-up and PA ramping to take place when using this test mode. This test mode is
shown in the diagram below:
Multiplexed RX and TX Busses
The RF6001 RX interface can be connected to the TX interface to result in a single interface to baseband as shown in the dia-
gram below.
Regardless of the TX mode chosen the TX signals are all inputs and will not conflict with the RX signals. The RX outputs must
be set to analog mode by programming S_MODE low and holding RX_EN low during transmit times. This is to avoid a conflict
between the idle ground states of the digital RX outputs and the external TXI and Q signals.
