2.0 Installation
When integrating this module into a host, the user must provide all text in the “FCC Statements”
and “Industry Canada Statements” into the host device’s user manual (see Forward Material).
The text must not be modified in any way and presented in a conspicuous manner that the end
user can be reasonably expected to access.
The module is provided with an RF adapter cable and antenna. The RF adapter cable converts
MCX to RP-TNC plug. The connector on the antenna is an RP-TNC jack. Please see section
entitled “FCC Statements” for notice concerning these special accessories.
Install the RF adapter cable by plugging the MCX plug into the MCX jack on the module (RFE2).
Affix the RP-TNC end of the adapter cable to the housing of the host device utilizing the keyed
housing and locking nut. Finally, install the antenna onto the RP-TNC end of the adapter.
3.0 Tune-up Procedure
This module does not require any special tune-up procedure by the user. This module utilizes
advanced system-on-chip (SOC) technology. The SOC is tuned by the foundry at time of
manufacture and is not subject to change or adjustment. The module contains no adjustable
components.
Proper RF operation of the module is verified during the manufacturing process using suitable
equipment and methods. The manufacturer has performed a tuning process according to the
SOC design guidelines.

4.0 Electrical Characteristics
4.1 Power
The module requires a regulated 3.3 VDC source. The module does not provide under-voltage,
over-voltage, or reverse polarity protection so use caution when applying power.
The module transitions between states during normal operation. The integrated PA consumes
the largest amount of power when active. Therefore, transitions to the transmit state will cause
the largest draw on the host supply. It is recommended to provide a large bulk capacitance with
low ESR as close as possible to P1.1 to mitigate host supply drooping during transitions to the
transmit state.
Figure 3 illustrates state transitions vs. current consumption.
Figure 3. State Transitions vs. Current Consumption
4.2 SPI Mode
In SPI mode, P.5 – P1.8 form a SPI slave interface. P1.5 is the input SPI clock generated by the
SPI master (host). The max SCK frequency must be less than 2 MHz. P1.6 is MOSI. P1.7 is
MISO. P1.8 is the input slave select and is active low.
The SPI port is configured for standard SPI Bus Protocol Mode 0. In this mode CPOL (clock
polarity) is 0 meaning that the clock is at a logic low level when idle. CHPA (clock phase) is 1
meaning that data is latched on the rising edge of the clock and changed on the following edge.
The SPI port requires that nSS be asserted at least one bit-time prior to clocking data. nSS may
be released at any time after the last byte has been exchanged. The host must also ensure that
at least one bit-time between consecutive bytes of data is observed.
4.3 UART Mode
In UART mode SCK and nSS (P1.5 and P1.8) are unused and configured as inputs with weak
pull-ups. In this mode UART RX and UART TX (P1.6 and P1.7) provide an asynchronous serial
communications interface. UART RX is configured as an input while UART TX is configured as
an output. The interface is RS-232 compatible with the exception that signaling levels are TTL
logic levels. The port is always configured with 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
Hardware (RTS and CTS) and software (XON and XOFF) flow control are not utilized. Flow
control is handled by the communications protocol discussed later in this document.
The baud rate of the port can be configured. All standard baud rates from 9600 to 115200 are
supported with less than 4% error. Non-standard baud rates can also be configured, but, not all
requested bauds are possible. Table 2 lists recommended baud rates and associated deviation.

The module is configured for 12 kbps. This yields 667 µs per byte transmitted. To calculate
time of transmission in seconds, add 10 bytes to the payload count and multiply by 0.000667.
So, a payload of 4 bytes takes (10 + 4) * 0.000667 = 0.009338s, or 9.3 ms on-the-air.
The additional byte (5 Preamble + 2 Sync + 2 CRC32 = 9) comes from the payload structure.
The first byte of the payload is a length indicator used by the module to determine payload
length.

6.0 Operational Modes
The module can be configured to operate in one of two modes; Push-To-Transmit mode and
Periodic mode. These modes are discussed in this section. Refer to section “8.1 Get / Set
Parameter” for instructions on changing the operational mode.
6.1 Push-To-Transmit Mode
Push-To-Transmit is the module’s default mode. Any time power is applied to the module it will
begin operation in this mode. This mode is a license-free mode of operation (the operator does
not require a license in order to use the module in this mode, following the requirements set forth
by the FCC in CFR 47 Part 15.231). The module limits the maximum output power to 68.1
dBuV.
In order to comply with license free operation the interaction between the host and module has
restrictions. The host may only issue transmit requests when a manual event occurs on the
host, for example when a button is pressed. There is no limit to the number of transmit requests
that can be issued while the event is active. However, once the event has passed, for example
when the button is released, the host must cease issuing transmit requests within 5 seconds.
Periodic transmit requests are strictly forbidden. This includes, but is not limited to, link
maintenance messages, keep-alive messages, and status messages.
6.2 Periodic Transmit Mode
Periodic Transmit mode is intended for licensed operation (CFR 47 Part 90). The module limits
the maximum output power to +15 dBm. In this mode there are no restrictions between the host
and module, provided the user has configured the module to operate on the frequency channel
for which he holds a license.
It is a violation of CFR 47 to operate this module in Periodic Transmit mode without a license.

Module RF450
7.0 Communication Protocol
Communication between the module and host is packetized. Each packet begins with a start-ofpacket (SOP) indicator, followed by the length of the packet message, followed by the message,
and terminated with a checksum calculated over the message. All multi-byte fields are
interpreted in little-endian format; the LSB is stored in the lowest address and the MSB is stored
in the highest. A diagram of the packet format follows.
Table 4. Packet Format Diagram
SOP
Message Length
0x3C
LSB
MSB
..
Message
n+1
Chksum
Chksum Region
The checksum is calculated by subtracting the 8-bit sum of the message bytes from 0xFF. In
this way, the checksum of a packet can be easily verified by summing the message bytes and
checksum. The result of a valid packet is 0xFF.
Handshaking
The synchronization scheme between the module and host varies depending on the
communication channel selected. In either scheme the packet structure remains constant.
7.1 SPI
In SPI mode the module is a slave device. As such, it cannot initiate communications. All
communication is controlled by the host. The module utilizes a buffer for all packets to the host.
F0 (P1.9) is used to communicate the buffer status to the host. When F0 is low, there are no
packets available for the host. When F0 is high, at least one packet is available.
The host must check the state of F0 prior to initiating a SPI transfer. If F0 is low the transaction
will be handled as a write. No data will be shifted out to the host during the transaction. If F0 is
high the transaction will be handled as a read. The module will shift the buffered packet to the
host. Data shifted from the host to the module will be ignored. The polarity of this signal may be
configured (see Pin Mode parameter).
In order to prevent SPI slave overflows, a second control signal is implemented. F1 is utilized as
a CTS (clear to send) signal. The host must check the state of F1 prior to initiating a SPI
transfer. If F1 is asserted the SPI slave interface is busy completing a previously requested
command and any new request will be silently discarded. As soon as nSS is asserted, F1 is
asserted. F1 remains asserted until the requested command completes. The polarity of this
signal may be configured (see Pin Mode parameter).
Due to the structured nature of SPI the likelihood that the module and host lose sync is low. No
additional facilities are provided in this mode.
7.2 UART
In UART mode, both the host and module can initiate communications. In this mode no special
handshaking is required.
In this mode it is potentially possible that the module and host lose sync due to the fact that the
SOP byte can occur as valid data. In order to recover from this condition the protocol also
provides some simple event timeouts. There is no timeout associated with waiting for the SOP
indicator. Once the SOP has been detected an inter-byte timer is started. If the inter-byte
timeout expires an error message is sent to the host and the current packet is discarded. A lastbyte timer is also maintained. This last-byte timer must elapse before an error message is sent.
This ensures that an error message is not sent until the host has completed.
U077.0.2-MRF450
User Manual
The inter-byte timer is set to 10 byte-times. At 115200 baud this is 868 µs. The last-byte timer
is set to 25 byte-times. At 115200 baud this is 2170 µs.
7.3 Acknowledgement
Every packet sent to the module will result in a response packet sent back to the host. In
addition, the module will generate a message to the host when an RF packet is received and
destined for the host. In UART mode the packet will be sent asynchronously. The host must
examine the state of F0 in SPI mode in order to determine if a packet is waiting.

8.0 Messages
The heart of the communication packet structure is the message field. This field carries the
specific information of the packet. The first byte of the message field is interpreted as the
message ID. The remaining bytes in the message are interpreted based on the message ID.
The message IDs and structures follow.
