r
bit 7
bit 0
Legend: R = Readable bit
-n = Value at POR
r = Reserved
W = Writable bit
‘1’ = Bit is set
HC = Hardware Clear
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
‘0’ = Bit is cleared
x = Bit is unknown
HS = Hardware Set
bit 7
RXEN: Receive Enable Field bit
This bit enables/disables the packet reception. If an RX packet is currently being received, clearing
this bit causes that packet to be discarded.
1 = RX enabled
0 = RX disabled
Hardware clear/set when:
• Cleared when TRXMODE is set to TX-Streaming mode
• Set when TRXMODE is set to RX-Streaming mode
Clearing this bit aborts the current operation in the following cases:
• Receiving a packet in Packet mode or in RX-Streaming mode
Changes to most RX related settings must be only done when this bit is cleared.
Note that the clear channel assessment (CSMAEN) and ACK-frame reception does not require
RXEN = 1, as the device turns the radio into RX when needed, irrespective of the status of the RXEN
bit.
bit 6
NOPA: No Parsing bit
This bit disables packet parsing. Only CRC is checked, if it is enabled. This feature is useful in Sniffer
mode.
1 = Disable packet parsing
0 = Enable packet parsing
bit 5
RXDEC: RX Decryption bit
Setting this bit starts the RX security processing (authentication or decryption, or both) on the last
received packet.
1 = RX security processing started/in process. RXDECIF or RXTAGIF is set.
0 = RX security processing inactive or complete
This bit clears itself after RX decryption is completed.
bit 4
RSVLQIEN: Receive Status Vector LQI Enable bit
If bit is set, the measured Link Quality is appended after the received frame in the packet buffer.
1 = Append LQI field
0 = Do not append LQI field
bit 3
RSVRSSIEN: Receive Status Vector RSSI Enable bit
If bit is set, the measured RSSI is appended after the received frame in the packet buffer.
1 = Append RSSI field
0 = Do not append RSSI field
bit 2
RSVCHDREN: Receive Status Vector Channel/MAC Type/Data Rate Enable bit
If bit is set, Channel, MAC type and Data Rate Configurations used with the received frame are
appended after the received frame in the packet buffer, using the encoding specified for CH<3:0>,
FRMFMT and DR<2:0> (concatenated in this order when most significant bit (MSb) is first).
1 = Append Channel, MAC type and Data Rate fields
0 = Do not append Channel, MAC type and Data Rate fields
