Legend: R = Readable bit W = Writable bit
-n = Value at POR
‘1’ = Bit is set
r = Reserved
HC = Hardware Clear
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
‘0’ = Bit is cleared
x = Bit is unknown
HS = Hardware Set

bit 2-0
Reserved: Maintain as ‘0’
MACOP <3:0>: MAC Operation Register Field bits^{(1, 2)}
Provides status information on the current state of the MAC state machine. Encoding on MACOP<3:1>:
111 = Transmitting Acknowledge (TXACK)
110 = Receiving a packet (RXBUSY)
101 = Receiver listening to the channel waiting for packet (RX)
100 = Receiving (or waiting for) Acknowledge (RXACK)
011 = Transmitting a packet (TX)
010 = Performing Clear Channel Assessment (CCA)
001 = Back-off before repeated CCA (BO)
000 = MAC does not perform any operation (IDLE)
RFOP <2:0>: Radio Operation Register Field bits
Provides status information on the current Radio state. Encoding on RFOP<2:0>:
111 = TX with external PA is turned on (TX+PA)
110 = RX with external LNA is turned on (RX+LNA)
101 = Synthesizer and external PA or LNA is turned on (SYNTH+PA/LNA)
100 = Radio calibrates if the host MCU sets the CALST, otherwise, device malfunction occurs
(CAL/MAL)
011 = Analog transmit chain is activated (TX)
010 = Analog receiver chain is active (RX). (Digital may be partially shut off)
001 = Synthesizer is steady or ramping up or channel change is issued (SYNTH)
000 = Only the crystal oscillator is ON(OFF), (except when XTALSF = 1)

GPIO<2:0> is dedicated to output MACOP<3:1> or RFOP<2:0>. Refer to PINCON register, which speci-
fies the pin Configuration.
MACOP<0> is connected to RXBUFFUL register bit. It cannot be output over GPIO’s.
OPSTATUS register is sent on the SDO pin during all SPI operation.
