Functional Description
The CYRF7936 CyFi™ Transceiver is a Radio IC designed for low-power embedded wireless applications. Combined with
Cypress’s PSoC programmable system-on-chip and a CyFi network protocol stack, CYRF7936 can be used to implement a
complete CyFi wireless system.

I
I
12 MHz crystal.
29
XOUT
IO
O
Buffered 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, or 12 MHz clock, PACTL, or GPIO.
Tri-states in sleep mode (configure as GPIO drive LOW).

SCK
I
I
SPI clock.
28
MISO
IO
Z
SPI data output pin (Master In Slave Out), or GPIO (in SPI 3-pin mode).
Tri-states when SPI 3PIN = 0 and SS# is deasserted.
27
MOSI
IO
I
SPI data input pin (Master Out Slave In), or SDAT.
24
SS#
I
I
SPI enable, active LOW assertion. Enables and frames transfers.
26
IRQ
IO
O
Interrupt output (configurable active HIGH or LOW), or GPIO.
34
RST
I
I
Device reset. Internal 10 kohm pull down resistor. Active HIGH, typically
connect through a 0.47
μF capacitor to VBAT. Must have RST = 1 event the
first time power is applied to the radio. Otherwise the state of the radio control
registers is unknown.

VREG
Pwr
PMU boosted output voltage feedback.
35
VDD
Pwr
Decoupling pin for 1.8V logic regulator, connect through a 0.47
μF capacitor
to GND.

VBAT(0-2)
Pwr
VBAT = 1.8V to 3.6V. Main supply.
3, 7, 16
VCC
Pwr
VCC = 2.4V to 3.6V. Typically connected to VREG.
