CC1200 Transparent mode baseband data format

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1200

Hi,

Is there anyone knows about the output baseband data format of CC1200 in transparent mode? I tried to find it in the datasheet, but the only thing I have is:

In transparent mode CC1200  outputs the digital baseband signal using a digital interpolation filter to eliminate jitter introduced by digital filtering and demodulation", promising 500kBaud data rate in transparent mode.

It would be great if I can have a definition of the data format. Your help is appreciated, Thanks,

  • Not sure if I understand your question. In transparent mode the RF signal is mixed down and if the deviation is above 0 a '1' is output on a pin, otherwise '0'. Basically it's the raw demodulated data without extra filtering.
  • Hi TER,

    Thank you for your prompt reply. I think there are two modes if you want to get the demodulated data:
    1. In synchronous serial mode, it is what you've said. I got '1's and '0's at 10kbps if I was transmitting at 10kbps.
    2. In transparent serial mode, I can see very high data rate signal (~1Mbps) and I think this is "filtered digital baseband", some sampled IQ data directly comes from the ADC. I assume that this is different from the raw demodulate data after the demodulator and comparator.

    Please let me know if you think my description is unclear and I truly appreciate your help.

    Thanks,
    -Pan
  • No, if you have a 10 kbps signal this is a 10 kbps signal both for synchronous serial mode and transparent mode.

    If you get 1 Mbps you either don't use transparent mode or see jitter. Please provide register settings and a plot showing what you are seeing.
