Table 14-65. SFD_VALUE
Value Description
0xA7

For transmission this value is copied into start-of-frame delimiter (SFD) field of frame header. For reception this value is checked for incoming frames.

The default value is according to IEEE 802.15.4 specification.

For IEEE 802.15.4 compliant networks, set SFD_VALUE = 0xA7 as specified in [2]. This is the default value of the register.

To establish non IEEE 802.15.4 compliant networks, the SFD value can be changed to any other value. If enabled, IRQ_2 (RX_START) is issued only if the received SFD matches SFD_VALUE and a valid PHR is received.
