Note that there are two low-power modes for AMIS-53050 – standby and idle. Standby allows the SYSCLK output. Idle is the very low
power state without SYSCLK output.
Table 51: Idle Modes
Idle Tasks
Description
Sniff
Receiver periodic wake-up and RF energy detection check
Burst transmit
Periodic wake and transmit function
Housekeeping
Used to perform periodic temperature correction, calibration or to wake external host controller
Standby
Low-power mode with no activity may be programmed to continue to output system clock
The AMIS-53050 allows for a low-power mode. Power requirements are reduced when the very low power 10kHz oscillator is the clock
for the device. This oscillator runs the timers for either the sniff wake-up timer, the burst transmit timer or the housekeeping wake-up
timer. However, even when the low power 10kHz oscillator is running, the AMIS-53050 can still provide a clock signal output to an
external host controller device such as a microprocessor after reception of a valid data packet or a Housekeeping cycle where the
AMIS-53050 has been programmed to issue a wake up to the external host controller.
The AMIS-53050 will return to this low power idle state after activities such as transmit, receive or the various timers are done and the
external host controller writes the ‘Return to Idle’ instruction to the AMIS-53050 command register.
Register descriptions:
Idle Config- The options for idle mode must be set.
6.7.1. Idle Config
The idle configuration register is used to specify which periodic tasks are performed once the idle command is given in register 0. Any
combination of sniff, burst and housekeeping can be enabled.
INT to DSSN Timing: This is the time between the AMIS-53050 issuing an interrupt to indicate that data is ready and the time
that data transfer starts with the assertion of the DSSN signal.
Idle to System Clock Stop: Once the AMIS-53050 has completed a task and is issued the idle command, the system clock
can produce additional clock cycles to allow the external host controller to finish its tasks.
