S0-3
These are the switch inputs which when operated wake up the RF600E and cause transmission. They
may be switched directly to Vcc. Transmission occurs for the duration of the switch operation.
Vcc / Vss
The power supply needs to be a stable regulated voltage with <10mV ripple. Note that in idle mode the
transmitter current drain is typically only 100nA.
OP
Data Output, this is a standard CMOS / TTL output that may be connected directly to the data input pin of
the RF Module. In the event that this represents a load to Vcc then a buffer stage between the data output
and the RF module will be required.
LED
A direct LED drive with internal current limit of typically 1 mA operates when the RF600E is transmitting.
