Using a byte descriptive notation, the reset command
can be viewed as the following sequence, within the
same CS cycle:
SDI: <0x04>
Features and Settings
Values and parameters are set through registers in the
MAX7057 that are addressable through the SPI. These
registers contain bits that either turn functions on and
off or program numerical settings. The following set-
tings are controlled through the SPI.
Variable Capacitor
The internal variable shunt capacitor, which is instru-
mental in matching the PA to the antenna, is controlled
by setting 5 bits in the configuration 0 register. This
allows for 32 levels of shunt capacitance control. Since
the control of these 5 bits is independent of the other
settings, any capacitance value can be chosen at any
frequency, making it possible to maintain maximum
transmitter efficiency while moving rapidly from one fre-
quency to another.
Clock Output
The MAX7057 has a buffered clock output that can
serve as a clock for a microprocessor. The divide ratio
is set through the configuration 0 register (see Tables 5
and 6). The divide settings are 1 (no division), 2, 4, 8, or
16; the original undivided frequency is based on the
reference frequency generated by the external crystal.
The buffered clock output is available at GPO when
enabled by setting the configuration 1 register (see
Tables 2, 3, 15, and 16).
Mode Select and Crystal Shutdown
The transmission mode is selected by writing to a regis-
ter. The default mode is ASK and the mode can be
changed to FSK by writing a 1 to the mode bit in the
control register. This register is also used to keep the
crystal circuit powered up in the shutdown mode.

The following tables provide information on the
MAX7057 registers.
