AN415 EZRADIO PRO® P ROGRAMMING G UIDE 1. Introduction This document gives an overview of configuring the EZRadioPRO radios for transmitter, receiver, and transceiver operation via several simple software examples. The following examples are covered in this programming guide:  How to use the EZRadioPRO transmitter or transceiver for packet transmission in FIFO mode  How to use the EZRadioPRO receiver or transceiver for packet reception in FIFO mode  How to use the EZRadioPRO transceiver for bidirectional packet-based communication  How to transmit and receive packets with longer than 64 bytes payload using the FIFO The latest example source code is available on the Silicon Labs website: /products/wireless/EZRadioPRO/ or on the WDS CDROM that ships with the evaluation board kits. 2. Hardware Options The source code is provided for three EZRadioPRO transceiver chips: Si4431 Revision A0, Si4432 Revision V2, and Si443x Revision B1. There are few differences between the radios. The Si443x-B1 is the latest production revision. All the errata items of Si4431-A0 and Si4432-V2 are corrected on this silicon.  The Si4432-V2 requires some registers to be programmed to values other than their default values. These are not needed for the Si4431-A0.  The Si4431-A0 and Si443x-B1 have separate registers for setting the Auto-Frequency Calibration limit; however, the Frequency Deviation register is used for this purpose if the Si4432-V2 is used.  Different modem parameters have to be used for all revisions.  Invalid preamble timeout is defined differently for the Si4432-V2. Separate source code examples are provided for all revisions with the differences highlighted in the programming guide. Note: While only the Si4431-A0, Si4432-V2, and Si443x-B1 devices are mentioned in the document, the transmit or receive software works with t
