Operation Modes

The following is a broad description of the operation modes supported on the CC13x0 devices. A more detailed description is given in the CC13x0 CC26x0 SimpleLink Wireless MCU Technical Reference Manual. You can also find more specific information by using SysConfig or SmartRF Studio. Here you will also find settings for all supported modes for the different frequency bands.

Note

Not all modes and frequency bands are supported on all devices. Please see the CC1350 Datasheet for more information.

Generic GFSK Mode:
 Recommended operation mode. Uses a binary Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) modulation scheme. No Manchester encoding (1 Bit = 1 Symbol).
Simplelink Long Range (SLRM):
 Uses a 2-GFSK modulation scheme. Recommended for applications requiring long range.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE):
 The Bluetooth Low Energy physical layers use a GFSK modulation scheme.
IEEE 802.15.4:The IEEE 802.15.4 physical layers use a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) modulation scheme.
On-off Keying (OOK):
 Uses amplitude-shift keying modulation scheme (presence or not of a carrier).
Long-Range Mode (LRM):
 Uses Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS).
High Speed Mode:
 For supported devices, you can see an example implementation of the High Speed mode (HS mode) in the RF Packet Error Rate test example project.
