6.0 Functional Overview
The CYRF6936 IC provides a complete WirelessUSB SPI to
antenna wireless MODEM. The SoC is designed to implement
wireless device links operating in the worldwide 2.4-GHz ISM
frequency band. It is intended for systems compliant with
world-wide regulations covered by ETSI EN 301 489-1 V1.41,
ETSI EN 300 328-1 V1.3.1 (Europe), FCC CFR 47 Part 15
(USA and Industry Canada) and TELEC ARIB_T66_March,
2003 (Japan).
The SoC contains a 2.4-GHz 1-Mbps GFSK radio transceiver,
packet data buffering, packet framer, DSSS baseband
controller, Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), and
SPI interface for data transfer and device configuration.
The radio supports 98 discrete 1-MHz channels (regulations
may limit the use of some of these channels in certain jurisdic-
tions).
The baseband performs DSSS spreading/despreading, Start
of Packet (SOP), End of Packet (EOP) detection and CRC16
generation and checking. The baseband may also be
configured to automatically transmit Acknowledge (ACK)
handshake packets whenever a valid packet is received.
When in receive mode, with packet framing enabled, the
device is always ready to receive data transmitted at any of the
supported bit rates enabling the implementation of mixed-rate
systems in which different devices use different data rates.
This also enables the implementation of dynamic data rate
systems, which use high data rates at shorter distances and/or
in a low-moderate interference environment, and change to
lower data rates at longer distances and/or in high interference
environments.
In addition, the CYRF6936 IC has a Power Management Unit
(PMU) which allows direct connection of the device to any
battery voltage in the range 1.8V to 3.6V. The PMU conditions
the battery voltage to provide the supply voltages required by
the device, and may supply external devices.
Data Transmission Modes
The SoC supports four different data transmission modes:
• In GFSK mode, data is transmitted at 1 Mbps, without any
DSSS.
• In 8DR mode, 8 bits are encoded in each derived code
symbol transmitted.
• In DDR mode, 2-bits are encoded in each derived code
symbol transmitted. (As in the CYWUSB6934 DDR mode).
• In SDR mode, 1 bit is encoded in each derived code symbol
transmitted. (As in the CYWUSB6934 standard modes.)
Both 64-chip and 32-chip Pseudo-Noise (PN) Codes are
supported. The four data transmission modes apply to the data
after the SOP. In particular the length, data, and CRC16 are all
sent in the same mode. In general, lower data rates reduce
packet error rate in any given environment.
Link Layer Modes
The CYRF6936 IC device supports the following data packet
framing features:
SOP – Packets begin with a 2-symbol Start of Packet (SOP)
marker. This is required in GFSK and 8DR modes, but is
optional in DDR mode and is not supported in SDR mode; if
framing is disabled then an SOP event is inferred whenever
two successive correlations are detected. The
SOP_CODE_ADR code used for the SOP is different from that
used for the “body” of the packet, and if desired may be a
different length. SOP must be configured to be the same
length on both sides of the link.
Length – There are two options for detecting the end of a
packet. If SOP is enabled, then the length field should be
enabled. GFSK and 8DR must enable the length field. This is
the first 8-bits after the SOP symbol, and is transmitted at the
payload data rate. When the length field is enabled, an End of
Packet (EOP) condition is inferred after reception of the
number of bytes defined in the length field, plus two bytes for
the CRC16 (when enabled—see below). The alternative to
using the length field is to infer an EOP condition from a config-
urable number of successive non-correlations; this option is
not available in GFSK mode and is only recommended to
enable when using SDR mode.
CRC16 – The device may be configured to append a 16-bit
CRC16 to each packet. The CRC16 uses the USB CRC
polynomial with the added programmability of the seed. If
enabled, the receiver will verify the calculated CRC16 for the
payload data against the received value in the CRC16 field.
The seed value for the CRC16 calculation is configurable, and
the CRC16 transmitted may be calculated using either the
loaded seed value or a zero seed; the received data CRC16
will be checked against both the configured and zero CRC16
seeds.
CRC16 detects the following errors:
• Any one bit in error
• Any two bits in error (no matter how far apart, which column,
and so on)
• Any odd number of bits in error (no matter where they are)
• An error burst as wide as the checksum itself

lengths fields enabled, and Figure 6-2 shows a standard ACK
packet.
