9.1 Operation Modes

All modes are controlled by the SDI interface.

Power Down Mode

The AS3977 is connected to the power supply and can be switched to power down mode. The current consumption is limited by the leakage

current.

Clock Enable Mode

In this mode, only the reference frequency generator is switched on and a clock signal is supplied via the clock output.

PLL Enable Mode

The PLL is switched on and locked at the selected output frequency. The power amplifier is in power down mode. This mode enables OOK-

ASK modulation by switching the PA on and off.

Transmit Mode

The PLL is switched on and locked at the selected output frequency. The power amplifier is in power on mode. This is the FSK mode for

transmitting data.
