Hi all,
I am having problem with communication between TRF and MSP430. The software gets stuck when
while(!(IFG2&UCB0IFG))
command line is proceed. Then I decided to observe clock signals between TRF and MSP430.
I have two TRF ICs which behave different under different suplly voltages.:
The first TRF circuit under 5v supply voltage,
@SYS_CLK : 107KHz clock signal with 3V amplitude,
under 3V supply,
@SYS_CLK : 60Khz clock signal with 2.2V ampltide.
If I connect programmed microcontroller to the TRF IC (with EN pin = HI: If EN is HI the clock signal is 3.39MHz - this is defined in datasheet) the clock signal becomes 3.39MHZ signal with 50V amplitude (?!!!) and DATA_CLK is observed as noise.
For the second one,
under 5V : SYS_CLK signal is 60KHz with 5V amplitude
under 3V: SYS_CLK signal is 60KHz with 3V amplitude.
I did not connect this to microcontroller because some pins are not soldered.
So,
Somehow MCU is not communicating with TRF because there is no DATA_CLK signal and is this because of the strange clock signal that I observed like 50V, 3.39MHz signal.
Can someone tell me what the problem is and why I see different clock signals when microcontroller is connected?
Do you think if the TRF is broken somehow???
