RADIO TRANSCEIVER CONTROL INTERFACE

Abstract:

Radio transceiver control interfaces are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a semiconductor die includes a group of transmitters and a group of receivers that operate as a transceiver. Additionally, a group of common pins are used to control settings of both the transmitters and receivers. In one example, data received on the common pins can be used to establish enable settings for each of the transmitters and receivers. Thus, rather than using a one-to-one correspondence between a pin and the setting of a particular transmitter or receiver, a mapping is used between the common pins and the settings of the transmitters and receivers.
