18 Frequency Programming

The frequency programming in

CC1150 is

designed

minimize

the

programming

needed in a channel-oriented system.

To set up a system with channel numbers, the

desired channel spacing is programmed with

the

MDMCFG0.CHANSPC_M

and

MDMCFG1.CHANSPC_E

registers. The channel

spacing registers are mantissa and exponent

respectively.

The base or start frequency is set by the 24 bit

frequency word located in the FREQ2, FREQ1

and FREQ0 registers. This word will typically

be set to the centre of the lowest channel

frequency that is to be used.

The desired channel number is programmed

with the 8-bit channel number register,

CHANNR.CHAN

, which is multiplied by the

channel offset. The resultant carrier frequency

is given by:

FREQ

With a 26 MHz crystal the maximum channel

spacing is 405 kHz. To get e.g. 1 MHz channel

spacing on solution is to use 333 kHz channel

spacing and select each third channel in

CHANNR.CHAN

If any frequency programming register is

altered when the frequency synthesizer is

running,

the

synthesizer

may

give

undesired response. Hence, the frequency

programming should only be updated when

the radio is in the IDLE state.

19 VCO

The VCO is completely integrated on-chip.

19.1

VCO and PLL Self-Calibration

The VCO characteristics will vary with

temperature and supply voltage changes, as

well as the desired operating frequency. In

order to ensure reliable operation,

CC1150

includes frequency synthesizer self-calibration

circuitry. This calibration should be done

regularly, and must be performed after turning

on power and before using a new frequency

(or channel). The number of XOSC cycles for

completing the PLL calibration is given in

Table 20 on page 33.

The calibration can be initiated automatically

manually.

The

synthesizer

can

automatically

calibrated

each

time

the

synthesizer is turned on, or each time the

synthesizer is turned off. This is configured

with the MCSM0.FS_AUTOCAL register setting.

In manual mode, the calibration is initiated

when the SCAL command strobe is activated

in the IDLE mode.

The calibration values are not maintained in

sleep mode. Therefore, the

CC1150 must be

recalibrated

after

reprogramming

the

configuration registers when the chip has been

in the SLEEP state.

To check that the PLL is in lock the user can

program register IOCFGx.GDOx_CFG to 0x0A

and use the lock detector output available on

the GDOx pin as an interrupt for the MCU (x =

0,1 or 2). A positive transition on the GDOx pin

means that the PLL is in lock. As an

alternative the user can read register FSCAL1.

The PLL is in lock if the register content is

different from 0x3F. See more information in

the

CC1150 Errata Notes [8].

For more robust operation the source code

could include a check so that the PLL is re-

calibrated until PLL lock is achieved if the PLL

does not lock the first time.
