As a reference, potential suppliers of supervisory circuits are provided below. Radiocrafts
does not endorse any specific vendor. In most cases, similar components from other
suppliers will provide satisfactory performance. A threshold voltage of 2.3 – 2.6 V is
recommended if the supervisory circuit is connected to VDD.

I/O pin Interfaces
As noted in the Pin Description, RXEN (CTS/RXTX), TXEN (RTS) and CONFIG pins should
have their pull-ups connected to VDD, not VCC. If RXEN is used as CTS (hardware
handshake) or as RXTX (RS485) output, no pull-up is required and should be avoided as this
reduces the voltage swing due to the internal resistor.
Important note: The RXEN (CTS/RXTX) and TXD (SCL) and SDA pins are logic signals with 0
– VDD voltage swing, where VDD is 2.7 V. When connecting these signals to external
circuitry operating on supply voltage above 2.7 V, a level translator may be required. Single
transistor buffers or integrated level translators can be used for this purpose. An example of
such a level translator is SN74LVC1t45.

Timing Information
The figure and table below shows the timing information for the module when changing
between different operating states.
The IDLE state is the normal state where the module search for preamble on the air and wait
for a character to be received on the UART. RXD is the state when receiving characters from
the host filling up the internal buffer. TX state is when the data is transmitted on the air. RX
state is when data is received from the air after preamble detection. TXD is the state where
the received data is sent to the host on the UART.
CONFIG is the state entered by asserting the CONFIG pin and used during parameter
configuration, while MEMORY CONFIG is the sub-state entered by the ‘M’ command where
the configuration memory is being programmed. Note the limitation on maximum number of
write cycles using the ‘M’ command, see Electrical Specifications.
