General Programming Information

Serial Interface

All on-chip registers in the RF2052 are programmed using a 3-wire serial bus which supports both write and read operations.

Synthesizer programming, device configuration and control are achieved through a mixture of hardware and software controls.

Certain functions and operations require the use of hardware controls via the ENBL, MODE, and RESETB pins in addition to

programming via the serial bus. For most applications the MODE pin can be held high.
