PRODUCTION DATA.
At the start of a receive operation (when SOF is successfully detected), B6 is set in the IRQ Status register. An interrupt request is sent to the MCU at the end of the receive operation if the receive data string was shorter than or equal to 8 bytes. The MCU receives the interrupt request, then checks to determine the reason for the interrupt by reading the IRQ Status register (address 0x0C), after which the MCU reads the data from the FIFO.
If the received packet is longer than 8 bytes, the interrupt is sent before the end of the receive operation when the ninth byte is loaded into the FIFO (75% full). The MCU must read the FIFO status register (0x1C) to determine the number of bytes to be read from the FIFO. Next, the MCU must read the data in the FIFO. It is optional but recommended to read the FIFO Status register (0x1C) after reading the FIFO data to determine if the receive is complete. In the case of an IRQ_FIFO, the MCU should expect either another IRQ_FIFO or RX complete interrupt. This is repeated until an RX complete interrupt is generated.
If the reader detects a receive error, the corresponding error flag is set (framing error, CRC error) in the IRQ Status register, indicating to the MCU that reception was not completed correctly.
