DESCRIPTION
This FLEXTM Roaming Decoder II date sheet describes the operation of the KS8701. The KS8701 simplifies implementation of a FLEXTM paging device by interfacing with any of several off-theshelf paging receivers and any of several off-the-shelf host microcontroller/microprocessors. Its primary function is to process information received and demodulated from a FLEX radio paging channel, select messages addressed to the paging device and communicate the message information to the host. The KS8701 also operates the paging receiver in an efficient power consumption mode and enables the host to operate in a low power mode when monitoring a signal channel for message information.

Figure 1 : Example Block Diagram Using Internal Demodulator When configured to use the internal demodulator, the KS8701 connects to a receiver capable of generating a limited (i.e. 1-bit digitized) 455 kHz or 140 kHz IF signal. In this mode, the KS8701 has 7 receiver control lines used for warming up and shutting down a receiver in stages. The KS8701 has the ability to detect a low battery signal during the receiver control sequences. It interfaces to a host MCU through a standard SPI. It has a 1minute timer that offers low power support for a time of day function on the host. When using the internal demodulator, the oscillator frequency (or external clock) must be 160 kHz. The CLKOUT signal can be programmed to be either a 38.4 kHz signal created by fractionally dividing the oscillator clock, or a 40 kHz signal creating by dividing the oscillator clock by 4.

KS8701
SPI Packets
SPI PACKETS
All data communicated between the KS8701 and the host MCU is transmitted on the SPI in 32-bit packets. Each packet consists of an 8-bit ID followed by 24 bits of information. The KS8701 uses the SPI bus in full duplex mode. In other words, whenever a packet communication occurs, the data in both directions is valid packet data. The SPI interface consists of a READY pin and four SPI pins (SS, SCK, MOSI, and MISO). The SS is used as a chip select for the KS8701. The SCK is a clock supplied by the host MCU. The data from the host is transmitted on the MOSI(Master-Out-Slave-In) line. The data from the KS8701 is transmitted on the MISO(Master-In-SlaveOut) line. Timing requirements for SPI communication are specified in "SPI Timing" on page 69.
PACKET COMMUNICATION INITIATED BY THE HOST
Refer to figure 6 on page 11. When the host sends a packet to the KS8701, it performs the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Select the KS8701 by driving the SS pin low. Wait for the KS8701 to drive the READY pin low. Send the 32-bit packet. De-select the KS8701 by driving the SS pin high. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each additional packet.

High impedance state Figure 6: Typical Multiple Packet Communications Initiated by the Host When the host sends a packet, it will also receive a valid packet from the KS8701. If the KS8701 is enabled (see "Checksum Packet" on page 16 for a definition of enabled) and has no other packets waiting to be sent, the KS8701 will send a status packet. The host must transition the SS pin from high to low to begin each 32-bit packet. The KS8701 must see a negative transition on the SS pin in order for the host to initiate each packet communication.

PACKET COMMUNICATION INITIATED BY THE FLEX DECODER IC
Refer to figure 7 on page 12. When the KS8701 has a packet for the host to read, the following occurs: 1. 2. The KS8701 drives the READY pin low. If the KS8701 is not already selected, the host selects the KS8701 by driving the SS pin low.
3. The host receives (and sends) a 32-bit packet. 4. The host de-selects the KS8701 by driving the SS pin high (optional).

High impedance state Figure 7: Typical Multiple Packet Communications Initiated by the FLEX decoder IC When the host is reading a packet from the KS8701, it must send a valid packet to the KS8701. If the host has no data to send, it is suggested that the host send a Checksum Packet with all of the data bits set to 0 in order to avoid disabling the KS8701. See "Checksum Packet" on page 16 for more details on enabling and disabling the KS8701. The following figure illustrates that it is not necessary to de-select the KS8701 between packets then the packets are initiated by the KS8701.

Host-to-Decoder Packet Descriptions
KS8701
HOST-TO-DECODER PACKET DESCRIPTIONS
The following sections describe the packets of information sent from the host to the KS8701. In all cases the packets should be sent MSB first (bit 7 of byte 3 = bit 31 of the packet = MSB).
CHECKSUM PACKET
The Checksum Packet is used to insure proper communication between the host and the KS8701. The KS8701 exclusive-or's the 24 data bits of every packet it receives (except the Checksum Packet and the special packet ID' s 1C through 1F hexadecimal) with an internal checksum register. Upon reset and whenever the host writes a packet to the KS8701, the KS8701 is disabled from sending any information to the host processor until the host processor sends a Checksum Packet with the proper checksum value (CV) to the KS8701. When the KS8701 is disabled in this way, it prompts the host to read the Part ID Packet. Note that all other operation continues normally when the KS8701 is "disabled". Disabled only implies that data cannot be read, all other internal operations continue to function. When the KS8701 is reset, it is disabled and the internal checksum register is initialized to the 24 bit part ID defined in the Part ID Packet. See "Part ID Packet" on page 53 for a description of the Part ID. Every time a packet other than the Checksum Packet and the special packets 1C through 1F is sent to the KS8701, the value sent in the 24 information bits is exclusive-or'ed with the internal checksum register, the result is stored back to the checksum register, and the KS8701 is disabled. If a Checksum Packet is sent and the CV bits match the bits in the checksum register, the KS8701 is enabled. If a Checksum Packet is sent when the KS8701 is already enabled, the packet is ignored by the KS8701 in which case a null packet having the ID and data bits set to 0 is suggested. If a packet other than the Checksum Packet is sent when the KS8701 is enabled, the KS8701 will be disabled until a Checksum Packet is sent with the correct CV bits. When the host reads a packet out of the KS8701 but has no data to send, the Checksum Packet should be sent so the KS8701 will not be disabled. The data in the Checksum Packet could be a null packet (32 bit stream of all zeros) since a Checksum Packet will not disable the KS8701. When the host re-configures the KS8701, the KS8701 will be disabled from sending any packets other than the Part ID Packet until the KS8701 is enabled with a Checksum Packet having the proper data. The ID of the Checksum Packet is 0.

CONFIGURATION PACKET
The Configuration Packet defines a number of different configuration options for the KS8701. Proper operation is not guaranteed if these settings are changed when decoding is enabled (i.e. the ON bit in the Control Packet is set). The ID of the Configuration Packet is 1.

DFC: Disable Fractional Clock. When this bit is set and IDE is set, the CLKOUT signal will generate a 40 kHz signal (EXTAL divided by 4). When this bit is cleared and IDE is set, the CLKOUT signal will generate 38.4 kHz signal (EXTAL fractionally divided by 25/6 see diagram below). This bit has no effect when IDE is cleared.

Internal Demodulator Enable. When this bit is set , the internal demodulator is enabled and clock frequency at EXTAL is expected to be 160 kHz. When this bit is cleared, the internal demodulator is disabled and the clock frequency at EXTAL is expected to be 76.8 kHz.(value after reset=0)

Host-to-Decoder Packet Descriptions
OFD: Oscillator Frequency Difference. These bits describe the maximum difference in the frequency of the 76.8 kHz oscillator crystal with respect to the frequency of the transmitter. These limits should be the worst case difference in frequency due to all conditions including but not limited to aging, temperature, and manufacturing tolerance. Using a smaller frequency difference in this packet will result in lower power consumption due to higher receiver battery save ratios. Note that this value is not the absolute error of the oscillator frequency provided to the KS8701. The absolute error of the clock used by the FLEX transmitter must be taken into account. (e.g. If the transmitter tolerance is +/- 25 ppm and the 76.8 kHz oscillator tolerance is +/-140 ppm, the oscillator frequency difference is +/- 165 ppm and OFD should be set to 0.)(value after reset=0) OFD1 0 0 1 1 PCE: OFD0 0 1 0 1 Frequency Difference +/- 300 ppm +/-150 ppm +/- 75 ppm +/- 0 ppm
Partial Correlation Enable. When this bit is set, partial correlation of addresses is enabled. When partial correlation is enabled, the KS8701 will shutdown the receiver before the end of the last FLEX block which contains addresses if it can determine that none of the addresses in that FLEX block will match any enabled address in the KS8701. When this bit is cleared, the receiver will be controlled as it was in previous versions of the IC.(value after reset=0) Signal Polarity. These bits set the polarity of EXTS1 and EXTS0 input signals. (value after reset=0) The polarity of the EXTS0 and EXTS1 bits will be determined by the receiver design. Signal Polarity EXTS1 EXTS0 Normal Normal Inverted Inverted Normal Inverted Normal Inverted FSK Modulation @SP = 0, 0 +4800 Hz +1600 Hz -1600 Hz -4800 Hz

Synchronous Mode Enable. When this bit is set, a Status Packet will be automatically sent whenever the SMU (synchronous mode update) bit in the Status Packet is set. The host can use the SM (synchronous mode) bit in the Status Packet as an in-range/out-of-range indication. (value after reset=0)
MOT: Maximum Off Time. This bit has no effect if AST in the Timing Control Packet is non-zero. When AST=0 and MOT=0, asynchronous A-word searches will time-out in 4 minutes. When AST=0 and MOT=1, asynchronous A-word searches will time-out in 1 minute. (value after reset=0)

KS8701
COD: Clock Output Disable. When this bit is clear, a 38.4 kHz or 40kHz(depending on IDE and DFC) signal will be output on the CLKOUT pin. When this bit is set, the CLKOUT pin will be driven low. Note that setting and clearing this bit can cause pulses on the CLKOUT pin that are less than one half the clock period. Also note that when the clock output is enabled and not set for clock intermittent operation(see ICO in this packet), the CLKOUT pin will always output the clock signal even when the KS8701 is in reset (as long as the KS8701 oscillator is seeing clocks). Further note that the when the KS8701 is used in internal demodulator mode(i.e. uses a 160 kHz oscillator), the CLKOUT pin will be 80 kHz from reset until the time the IDE bit is set. This is because the KS8701 defaults to external demodulator mode at reset. (value after reset=0) MTE: Minute Timer Enable. When this bit is set, a Status Packet will be sent at one minute intervals with the MT (minute time-out) bit in the Status Packet set. When this bit is clear, the internal one-minute timer stops counting. The internal one-minute timer is reset when this bit is changed from 0 to 1 or when the MTC (minute timer clear) bit in the Control Packet is set. Note that the minute timer will not be accurate using a 160 kHz oscillator until the IDE bit is set. (value after reset=0) LBP: Low Battery Polarity. This bit defines the polarity of the KS8701's LOBAT pin. The LB bit in the Status Packet is initialized to the inverse value of this bit when the KS8701 is turned on (by setting the ON bit in the Control Packet). When the KS8701 is turned on, the first low battery update in the Status Packet will be sent to the host when a low battery condition is detected on the LOBAT pin. Setting this bit means that a high on the LOBAT pin indicates a low voltage condition. (value after reset=0) Intermittent Clock Out. When this bit is clear and COD is clear, a 38.4 kHz or 40 kHz (depending on the values of IDE and DFC) signal will be output on the CLKOUT pin. When this bit is set and COD is clear, the clock will only be output on the CLKOUT pin while the receiver is not in the Off state. The clock will be output for a few cycles before the receiver transitions from the off state and for a few cycles after the receiver transitions to the off state (this is to insure that the receiver receives enough clocks to detect and process the changes to and from the Off state). The CLKOUT pin will be driven low when it is not driving a clock. Note that when the clock is automatically enabled and disabled (i.e. when ICO is set), the CLKOUT signal transitions will be clean(i.e. no pulses less than half the clock period) when it transitions between no clock and clocked output. This bit has no effect when COD is set. (value after reset=0)

Force Frame 0-7. These bits enable and disable forcing the KS8701 to look in frames 0 through 7. When an FF bit is set, the KS8701 will decode the corresponding frame. Unlike the AF bits in the Frame Assignment Packets, the system collapse of a FLEX system will not affect frames assigned using the FF bits (e.g. Where as setting AF0 to 1 when the system collapse is 5 will cause the KS8701 to decode frames 0, 32, 64, and 96, setting FF0 to 1 when the system collapse is 5 will only cause the KS8701 to decode frame 0.). This may be useful for acquiring transmitted time information or channel attributes (e.g. Local ID). (value after reset =0) Single Phase Mode. When this bit is set, the KS8701 will decode only one phase of the transmitted data. When this bit is clear, the KS8701 will decode all of the phases it receives. A change to this bit while the KS8701 is on, will not take affect until the next block 0 of the next decoded frame. (value after reset =0) Phase Select. When the SPM bit is set, these bits define what phase the KS8701 should decode according to the following table. This value is determined by the service provider.

EAE:
End of Addresses Enable. When this bit is set, the EA bit in the Status Packet will be set immediately after the KS8701 decodes the last address word in the frame if there was any address detected in the frame. When this bit is cleared, the EA bit will never be set. Turn On Decoder. Set if the KS8701 should be decoding FLEX signals. Clear if signal processing should be off (very low power mode). If the ON bit is changed twice and the control packets making the changes are received within 2ms of each other, the KS8701 may ignore the double change and stay in its original state (e.g. if it is turned off then on again within 2ms it may stay on and ignore the off pulse). Therefore it is recommended that the host insures a minimum of 2ms between changes in the ON bit. (value after reset=0)
ON:
NOTES: Turning off the KS8701 must be done using the following sequence. This sequence is performed automatically by the FLEX stack software version 1.2 and greater. 1. Turn off the KS8701 by sending a Control Packet with the ON bit cleared. 2. Turn on the KS8701 by sending a Control Packet with the ON bit set. 3. Turn off the KS8701 by sending a Control Packet with the ON bit cleared. Timing between these steps is specified below and is measured from the positive edge of the last clock of one packet to the positive edge of the last clock of the next packet:
l
The minimum time between steps 1 and 2 is 2ms or the programmed shut down time, whichever is greater. The programmed shut down time is the sum of all the of the times . programmed in the used Receiver Shut Down Settings Packets. There is no maximum time between steps 1 and 2. The minimum time between steps 2 and 3 is 2ms. The maximum time between steps 2 and 3 is the programmed warm up time minus 2ms. The programmed warm up time is the sum of all the of the times programmed in the used Receiver Warm Up Settings Packets.

ALL FRAME MODE PACKET
The All Frame Mode Packet is used to decrement temporary address enable counters by one, decrement the all frame mode counter by one, and/or enable or disable forcing all frame mode. All frame mode is enabled if any temporary address enable counter is non-zero, the all frame mode counter is non-zero, or the force all frame mode bit is set. If all frame mode is enabled, the KS8701 will attempt to decode every frame and send a Status Packet with the EOF (end-of-frame) bit set at the end of every frame. Both the all frame mode counter and the temporary address enable counters can only be incremented internally by the KS8701 and can only be decremented by the host. The KS8701 will increment a temporary address enable counter whenever a short instruction vector is received assigning the corresponding temporary address. See "Operation of a Temporary Address" on page 64 for details. The KS8701 will increment the all frame mode counter whenever an alphanumeric, HEX / binary, or secure vector is received. When the host determines that a message associated with a temporary address, or a fragmented message has ended, then the appropriate temporary address counter or all frame mode counter should be decremented by writing an All Frame Mode Packet to the KS8701 in order to exit the all frame mode, thereby improving battery life. See "Building a Fragmented Message" on page 61 for details. Neither the temporary address enable counters nor the all frame mode counter can be incremented past the value 127 (i.e. it will not roll-over) or decremented past the value 0. The temporary address enable counters and the all frame mode counter are initialized to 0 at reset and when the decoder is turned off. The ID of the All Frame Mode Packet is 3.

DAF: Decrement All Frame counter. Setting this bit decrements the all frame mode counter by one. If a packet is sent with this bit clear, the all frame mode counter is not affected. (value after reset=0) FAF: Force All Frame mode. Setting this bit forces the KS8701 to enter all frame mode. If this bit is clear, the KS8701 may or may not be in all frame mode depending on the status of the all frame mode counter and the temporary address enable counters. This may be useful in acquiring transmitted time information.(value after reset=0)
DTA: Decrement Temporary Address enable counter. When a bit in this word is set, the corresponding temporary address enable counter is decremented by one.

Ignore Re-synchronization Signal. When this bit is set, KS8701 will not go asynchronous when detecting an Ar or Ar signal during searches for A-words. It will merely report that the resynchronization signal was received by setting RSR to 1 in the Roaming Status packet. This allows the host to decide what to do when the paging device is synchronous to more than one channel and only one channel is sending the re-synchronization signal. It also prevents the KS8701 from losing synchronization when it detects the re-synchronization signal while the paging device is checking an unknown channel. This bit is set and cleared by the host. (value after reset=0)
NBC: Network Bit Check. Setting this bit will enable reporting of the received network bit value (NBU and n) in the Roaming Status Packet. Setting this bit also makes the KS8701 abandon a frame after the Frame Info word without synchronizing to the frame if the frame information word is uncorrectable or if the n bit in the frame information word is not set. If the KS8701 was in synchronous mode when this occurred (probably due to synchronizing to a second channel), it will maintain synchronization to the original channel. If the KS8701 was in asynchronous mode when this occurred, it will stay in asynchronous mode and end the A-word search. This is done to avoid synchronizing to a non-roaming channel when searching for roaming channels. This bit is set and cleared by the host. (value after reset=0) MCM: Manual Collapse Mode. When this bit is set, the KS8701 behaves as if the system collapse was 7. The KS8701 will not apply the received system collapse to the AF bits. When this bit is set, the received system collapse is reported to the host via SCU and RSC in the Roaming Status Packet. This is so the host can modify the AF bits based on the system collapse of the channel. This bit is set and cleared by the host. (value after reset=0) IS1: Invert EXTS1. Setting this bit inverts the expected polarity of the EXTS1 pin from the way it is configured by SP1 in the Configuration Packet (e.g. if both IS1 and SP1 are set, the polarity of the EXTS1 pin is untouched). This bit is intended to be changed when a change in a channel changes the polarity of the received signal. This bit is set and cleared by the host. This bit has the equivalent effect when using the internal demodulator. (value after reset=0) Stop Decoding Frame. Setting this bit causes the KS8701 to stop decoding a frame without losing frame synchronization. This bit is set by the host, and cleared by the KS8701 once it has been processed. The packet with the SDF bit set must be sent after receiving the status packet with EA bit set. It must be sent within 40ms of the end of block in which the KS8701 set the EA bit.

RSP: Receiver Shutdown Packet enable. When this bit is set, a Receiver Shutdown Packet will be sent whenever the receiver is shut down. The receiver shutdown packet informs the host that the receiver shutdown, and how long it will be before the KS8701 will automatically warm the receiver back up. (value after reset=0) SND: Start Noise Detect. Setting this bit while the KS8701 is battery saving will cause it to warm-up the receiver, run a noise detect, and report the result of the noise detect via NDR in the Roaming Status Packet. This bit is set by the host, and cleared by the KS8701 once it has been processed. If the time comes for the KS8701 to warm up for automatically or the SAS bit is set while an SND is being processed, the noise detect will be abandoned and the abandoned noise detect result (NDR=01) will be sent in the Roaming Status Packet. (value after reset=0) CND: Continuous Noise Detect. Setting this bit will cause the KS8701 to do continuous noise detects during the decoded block data of a frame. The results of the noise detect will only be reported if noise is detected (NDR=11). Only one noise detected result (NDR=11) will be sent per block. If the KS8701 has not completed a noise detect when it shuts down for the frame, that noise detect will be abandoned, but no abandon result (NDR=01) will be sent. This bit is set and cleared by the host. (value after reset=0) RND: Report Noise Detects. Setting this bit will cause the KS8701 to report the results of the noise detects it does under normal asynchronous operation (when first turned on and when asynchronous). The results of the noise detect will be reported via NDR in the Roaming Status Packet. This bit is set and cleared by the host. (value after reset=0) ABI: All Block Information words. When this bit is set, the KS8701 will send all received Block Information words 2-4 to the host. Note: Setting the SBI bit in the Control Packet only enables errored and real time clock related block info words. (value after reset=0) Start A-word Search. Setting this bit while in asynchronous battery save mode will cause the KS8701 to warm-up the receiver and run an A-word search. If, during the A-word search, the KS8701 finds sufficient FLEX signal, it will enter synchronous mode and start decoding the frame. If the A-word search times-out without finding sufficient FLEX signal, it will battery save and continue doing periodic noise detects. The time-out for the A-word searches is controlled by the AST bits in the Timing Control Packet and the MOT bit in the Configuration Packet. The A-word search takes priority over noise detects. Therefore, if the KS8701 is performing an A-word search and the time comes to do automatic noise detect, the noise detect will not be performed. This bit is set by the host, and cleared by the KS8701 once it has been acted on. (value after reset=0) Disable A-word Search. When this bit is set, an A-word search will not automatically occur after a noise detect in asynchronous mode finds FLEX signal. This includes automatic noise detects and noise detects initiated by the host by setting SND. The KS8701 will shut down the receiver after the noise detect completes regardless of the result. When this bit is cleared, A-word searches will occur after a noise detect finds signal in asynchronous mode. (value after reset=0)

ABT: Asynchronous Battery-save Time. The value of these bits sets the battery save time (time from the beginning of one automatic noise detect to the beginning of the next automatic noise detect) in asynchronous mode in units of 80ms (e.g. value of 1 is 80ms, value of 2 is 160ms, etc.) If the value is 0, the battery save time is set to the default value of 1.5 seconds.

Host-to-Decoder Packet Descriptions
FRAME ASSIGNMENT PACKETS
The FLEX protocol defines that each address of a FLEX pager is assigned a home frame and a battery cycle. The KS8701 must be configured so that a frame that is assigned by one or more of the addresses' home frames and battery cycles has its corresponding configuration bit set. For example, if the KS8701 has one enabled address and it is assigned to frame 3 with a battery cycle of 4, the AF bits for frames 3, 19, 35, 51, 67, 83, 99, and 115 should be set and the AF bits for all other frames should be cleared. When the KS8701 is configured for manual collapse mode by setting the MCM bit in the Roaming Control Packet, the KS8701 will not apply the received system collapse to the AF bits. The host should set the AF bits for all frames that should be decoded on all channels. For example, if frames 0 and 64 should be decoded on one channel and frames 4, 36, 68, and 100 should be decoded on another channel, all six of the corresponding AF bits should be set. The host can then change the receiver's carrier frequency after the KS8701 decodes frames 0, 36, 64, and 100. There are 8 Frame Assignment Packets. The Packet IDs for these packets range from 32 to 39 (decimal).

USER ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT PACKETS
The KS8701 has 16 user address words. Each word can be programmed to be a short address, part of a long address, or the first part of a network ID. The addresses are configured using the Address Assignment Packets. Each user address can be configured as long or short and tone-only or regular (network ID' s are short and regular). Although the host is allowed to send these packets while the KS8701 is on, the host must disable the user address word by clearing the corresponding UAE bit in the User Address Enable Packet before changing any of the bits in the corresponding User Address Assignment Packet. This method allows for easy reprogramming of user addresses without disrupting normal operation. The IDs for these packets range from 128 to 143 (decimal).

DECODER-TO-HOST PACKET DESCRIPTIONS
The following sections describe the packets of information that will be sent from the KS8701 to the host. In all cases the packets are sent MSB first (bit 7 of byte 3 = bit 31 of the packet = MSB). The KS8701 decides what data should be sent to the host. If the KS8701 is disabled through the checksum feature (see " Checksum Packet" on page 16 for a description of the checksum feature) the Part ID Packet will be sent. Data Packets relating to data received over the air are buffered in the 32 packet transmit buffer. The Data packets include Block Information Word Packets, Address Packets, Vector Packets, and Message Packets. If the KS8701 is enabled and a receiver shutdown packet is pending, the receiver shutdown packet will be sent. If there is no receiver shutdown packet pending, but there is a roaming status packet pending, the roaming status packet will be sent. If neither the receiver shutdown packet nor the roaming status packet is pending and there is data in the transmit buffer, a packet from the transmit buffer will be sent. Otherwise, the KS8701 will send the Status Packet (which is not buffered). In the event of a buffer overflow, the KS8701 will automatically stop decoding and clear the buffer. It is recommended that the Host be designed to empty the FIFO buffer every block with enough time left over to read a status packet. This would ensure that any applicable Status Packet would be received within 1 block of the new status being available.

BLOCK INFORMATION WORD PACKET
The Block Information Field is the first field following the synchronization codes of the FLEX protocol. This field contains information about the frame such as number of addresses and messages, information about current time, the channel ID, channel attributes, etc. The first block information word of each phase is used internally to the KS8701 and is never transmitted to the host with the exception of the system collapse which is sent to the host when the KS8701 is in manual collapse mode. Time block information words 2-4 can be optionally sent to the host by setting the SBI bit in the control packet (see "Control Packet" on page 21). All block information words 2-4 can be optionally sent to the host by setting the ABI bit in the roaming control packet. When the SBI or ABI bit is set and any block information word 2-4 is received with an uncorrectable number of bit errors, the KS8701 will send the block information word to the host with the e bit set regardless of the value of the f field in the block information word. The KS8701 does not support decoding of the vector and message words associated with the Data/System Message block info word (f=101). The ID of a Block Information Word Packet is 0 (decimal).

ADDRESS PACKET
The Address Field follows the Block Information Field in the FLEX protocol. It contains all of the address in the frame. If less than three bit errors are detected in a received address word and it matches an enabled address assigned to the KS8701, an Address Packet will be sent to the host processor. The Address Packet contains assorted data about the address and its associated vector and message. The ID of an Address Packet is 1 (decimal).

Values 0 through 15 correspond to the 16 programmable address words. Values 128 through 143 correspond to the 16 temporary addresses. Values 144 through 159 correspond to the 16 operator messaging addresses. For long addresses, the address detect packet will only be sent once and the index will refer to the second word of the address.
TOA: Tone Only Address. Set if the address was programmed in the KS8701 as a tone-only address. This bit will never be set for temporary or operator messaging addresses. No vector word will be sent for tone-only addresses. WN: x: Word number of vector (2 - 87). Describes the location in the frame of the vector word for the detected address. This value is invalid for this packet if the TOA bit is set. Unused bits. The value of these bits is not guaranteed.

VECTOR PACKET
The Vector Field follows the Address Field in the FLEX protocol. Each Vector Packet must be matched to its corresponding Address Packet. The ID of the vector packet is the word number where the vector word was received in the frame. This value corresponds to the WN bits sent in the associated address packet. The phase information in both the Address Packet and the Vector Packet must also match. It is important to note for long addresses, the first message word will be transmitted in the word location immediately following the associated vector. See "Message Building" on page 59 for a message building example. In this case, the word number (identified by b6 to b0) in the Vector Packet will indicate the message start of the second message word if the message is longer than 1 word. There are several types of vectors - 3 types of Numeric Vectors, a Short Message / Tone Only Vector, a Hex / Binary Vector, an Alphanumeric Vector, a Secure Message Vector, and a Short Instruction Vector. Each is described in the following pages. One of the modes of the Short Instruction Vector is used for assigning temporary addresses that may be associated with a group call. The Numeric, Hex / Binary, Alphanumeric, and Secure Message Vector Packets have associated Message Word Packets in the message field. The host must use the n and b bits of the vector word to calculate what message word locations are associated with the vector. Both the message word locations and the phase must match. Four of the vectors (Hex / Binary, Alphanumeric, Secure Message, and Short Instruction) enable the KS8701 to begin the all frame mode. This mode is required to allow for the decoding of temporary addresses and / or fragmented messages. The host disables the All Frame Mode after the proper time by writing to the decoder via the All Frame Mode Packet. See "Building a Fragmented Message" on page 61 and "Operation of a Temporary Address" on page 64 for more information. For any Address Packet sent to the host (except tone-only addresses), a corresponding Vector Packet will always be sent. If more than two bit errors are detected (via BCH calculations, parity calculations, check character calculations, or value validation) in the vector word the e bit will be set and the message words will not be sent.

Frame Info Valid. Set when a valid frame info word has been received since becoming synchronous to the system and the f and c fields contain valid values. If this bit is clear, no valid frame info words have been received since the KS8701 became synchronous to the system. This value will change from 0 to 1 at the end of block 0 of the frame in which the 1st frame info word was properly received. It will be cleared when the KS8701 goes into asynchronous mode. This bit is initialized to 0 when the KS8701 is reset and when the KS8701 is turned off by clearing the ON bit in the Control Packet. Current frame number. This value is updated every frame regardless of whether the KS8701 needs to decode the frame. This value will change to its proper value for a frame at the end of block 0 of the frame. The value of these bits is not guaranteed when FIV is 0. Synchronous Mode. This bit is set when the KS8701 is synchronous to the system. The KS8701 will set this bit when the first synchronization words are received. It will clear this bit when the KS8701 has not received both synchronization words in any frame for 8, 16, or 32 minutes (depending on the number of assigned frames and the system collapse). This bit is initialized to 0 when the KS8701 is reset and when it is turned off by clearing the ON bit in the Control Packet Low Battery. Set to the value last read from the LOBAT pin. The host controls when the LOBAT pin is read via the Receiver Control Packets. This bit is initialized to 0 at reset. It is also initialized to the inverse of the LBP bit in the Configuration Packet when the KS8701 is turned on by setting the ON bit in the Control Packet.

Current system cycle number. This value is updated every frame regardless of whether the KS8701 needs to decode the frame. This value will change to its proper value for a frame at the end of block 0 of the frame. The value of these bits is not guaranteed when FIV is 0.
SMU: Synchronous Mode Update. Set if the SM bit has been updated in this packet. When the KS8701 is turned on, this bit will be set when the first synchronization words are found (SM changes to 1) or when the first synchronization search window after the KS8701 is turned on expires (SM stays 0). The latter condition gives the host the option of assuming the paging device is in range when it is turned on, and displaying out-of-range only after the initial A search window expires. After the initial synchronous mode update, the SMU bit will be set whenever the KS8701 transitions from/to synchronous mode. Cleared when read. Changes in the SM bit due to turning off the KS8701 will not cause the SMU bit to be set. This bit is initialized to 0 when the KS8701 is reset. LBU: Low Battery Update. Set if the value on two consecutive reads of the LOBAT pin yielded different results. Cleared when read. The host controls when the LOBAT pin is read via the Receiver Control Packets. Changes in the LB bit due to turning on the KS8701 will not cause the LBU bit to be set. This bit is initialized to 0 when the KS8701 is reset. MT: Minute Time-out. Set if one minute has elapsed. Cleared when read. This bit is initialized to 0 when the KS8701 is reset.
EOF: End Of Frame. Set when the KS8701 is in all frames mode and the end of frame has been reached. The KS8701 is in all frames mode if the all frames mode enable counter is non-zero, if any temporary address enabled counter is non-zero, or if the FAF bit in the All Frame Mode Packet is set. Cleared when read. This bit is initialized to 0 when the KS8701 is reset. EA: End of Addresses. If EAE of the control packet is set and an address is detected in a frame, EA will be set after the KS8701 processes the last address in the frame. Since data packets take priority over the status packet, the status packet with the EA bit set is guaranteed to come after all address packets for the frame. Cleared when read. This bit is initialized to 0 when the KS8701 is reset. Buffer Overflow Error. Set when information has been lost due to slow host response time. When the data packet FIFO transmit buffer on the KS8701 overflows, the KS8701 clears the transmit buffer, turns off decoding by clearing the ON bit in the Control Packet, and sets this bit. Cleared when read. This bit is initialized to 0 when the KS8701 is reset. Unused bits. The value of these bits is not guaranteed.

APPENDIX A : APPLICATION NOTES
RECEIVER CONTROL
INTRODUCTION The KS8701 has 8 programmable receiver control lines (S0 - S7). The host has control of the receiver warm up and shut down timing as well as all of the various settings on the control lines through configuration registers on the KS8701. The configuration registers for most settings allow the host to configure what setting is applied to the control lines. how long to apply the setting, and if the LOBAT input pin is polled before changing from the setting. With this programmability, the KS8701 should be able to interface with many off-the-shelf receiver ICs. When using the internal demodulator (i.e. when the IDE bit of the configuration packet is set), the S0 pin becomes the input for the demodulator and the S0 register setting in the receiver control configuration packets controls the tracking mode of the peak and valley detectors for the internal data slicer. When the S0 bit is set in a receiver setting, the internal data slicer will be in fast track mode. When S0 bit is cleared in a receiver setting, the internal data slicer will be in slow track mode. For details on the configuration of the receiver control settings, see "Receiver Control Configuration Packets" on page 30.
RECEIVER SETTINGS AT RESET The receiver control ports are three-state outputs which are set to the high-impedance state when the KS8701 is reset and until the corresponding FRS bit in the Receiver Line Control Packet is set or until the KS8701 is turned on by setting the ON bit in the Control Packet. This allows the designer to force the receiver control lines to the receiver off setting with external pull-up or pull-down resistors before the host can configure these settings in the KS8701. When the KS8701 is turned on, the receiver control ports are driven to the settings configured by the "Receiver Control Configuration Packets" on page 30 until the KS8701 is reset again.
AUTOMATIC RECEIVER WARM UP SEQUENCE The KS8701 allows for up to 6 steps associated with warming up the receiver. When the KS8701 automatically turns on the receiver, it starts the warm up sequence 160ms before it requires valid signals at the EXTS0 and EXTS1 input pins. (or the equivalent internal signals when using the internal demodulator/data slicer). The first step of the warm up sequence involves leaving the receiver control lines in the "Off" state for the amount of time programmed for "Warm Up Off Time". At the end of the "Warm Up Off Time", the first warm up setting, if enabled, is applied to the receiver control lines for the amount of time programmed for that setting. Each subsequent warm up setting is applied to the receiver control lines for their corresponding time until a disabled warm up setting is found. At the end of the last used warm up setting, the "1600sps Sync Setting" or the "3200sps Sync Setting" is applied to the receiver control lines depending on the current state of the KS8701. The sum total of all of the used warm up times and the "Warm Up Off Time" must not exceed 160ms. If it exceeds 160ms, the KS8701 will execute the receiver shut down sequence at the end of the 160ms warm up period. The receiver warm up sequence while decoding when all warm up settings are enabled is shown in figure 11 on page 56.

Figure 11: Automatic Receiver Warm Up Sequence
HOST INITIATED RECEIVER WARM UP SEQUENCE The host can cause the KS8701 to warm-up the receiver in three ways: (1) by turning on KS8701 by setting the ON bit in the control packet; (2) by requesting a noise detect by setting the SND bit in the roaming control packet; or (3) by requesting an A-word search by setting the SAS bit in the roaming control packet. When the KS8701 warms up the receiver in response to a host request, the first warm up setting, if enabled, is applied to the receiver control lines for the amount of time programmed for that setting. Each subsequent warm up setting is applied to the receiver control lines for their corresponding time until a disabled warm up setting is found. Once a disabled warm up setting is found, the "3200sps Sync Setting" (for ON and SND warm ups) or the "1600sps Sync Setting" (for SAS warm ups) is applied to the receiver control lines and the decoder does not expect valid signal until after the "3200sps Sync Warm Up Time" (for ON, SND, and SAS warm ups) has expired. In figure 12 on page 56 the receiver warm up sequence when the host initiates a warm-up sequence and when all warm up settings are enabled is shown.

RECEIVER SHUT DOWN SEQUENCE The KS8701 allows for up to 3 steps associated with shutting down the receiver. When the KS8701 decides to turn off the receiver, the first shut down setting, if enabled, is applied to the receiver control lines for the corresponding shut down time. At the end of the last used shut down time, the "Off" setting is applied to the receiver control lines. If the first shut down setting is not enabled, the KS8701 will transition directly from the current on setting to the "Off" setting. The receiver turn off sequence when all shut down settings are enabled is shown in figure 13 on page 57 If the receiver is on or being warmed up when the decoder is turned off (by clearing the ON bit in the Control Packet), the KS8701 will execute the receiver shutdown sequence. If the KS8701 is executing the shut down sequence when the KS8701 is turned on (by setting the ON bit in the Control Packet), the KS8701 will complete the shut down sequence before starting the warm up sequence.

MISCELLANEOUS RECEIVER STATES In addition to the warm up and shut down states, the KS8701 has four other receiver states. When these settings are applied to the receiver control lines, the KS8701 will be decoding the EXTS1 and EXTS0 input signals. The timing of these signals and their duration depends on the data the KS8701 decodes. The four settings are as follows: 1600sps Sync Setting: This setting is applied when the KS8701 is searching for a 1600 symbols per second signal. 3200sps Sync Setting: This setting is applied when the KS8701 is searching for a 3200 symbols per second signal. 1600sps Data Setting: This setting is applied after the KS8701 has found the C or C sync word in a 1600 symbols per second frame. 3200sps Data Setting: This setting is applied after the KS8701 has found the C or C sync word in a 3200 symbols per second frame. Some examples of how these settings will be used in the KS8701 are shown In figure 14 on page 58.

LOW BATTERY DETECTION The KS8701 can be configured to poll the LOBAT input pin at the end of every receiver control setting. This check can be enabled or disabled for each receiver control setting. If the poll is enabled for a setting, the pin will be read just before the KS8701 changes the receiver control lines from that setting to another setting. The KS8701 will send a Status Packet whenever the value on two consecutive reads of the LOBAT pin yields different results.

MESSAGE BUILDING
A simple message consists of an Address Packet followed by a Vector Packet indicating the word numbers of associated Message Packets. The tables below show a more complex example of receiving three Messages and two Block Information Word Packets in the first two blocks of a 2 phase 3200 bps, FLEX frame. Note that the messages shown may be portions of fragmented or group messages. Note further that in the case of a 6400 bps FLEX signal, there would be four phases: A, B, C and D, and in the case of a 1600 bps signal there would be only a single phase A. Table 30 on page 59 shows the block number, word number (WN) and word content of both phases A and C. Note contents of words not meant to be received by the host are left blank. Each phase begins with a block information word (WN 0), this is not sent to the host. The first message is in phase A and has an address (WN 3), vector (WN 7) and three message words (WN 9- 11). The second message is also in phase A and has an address (WN 4), a vector (WN 8) and four message words (WN 12 - 15). The third message is in phase C and has a 2 word long address (WN 5 - 6) followed by a vector (WN 10) and three message words. Since the third message is sent on a long address, the first message word (WN 11) begins immediately after the vector. The vector indicates the location of the second and third message words (WN 14 - 15).

Table 31 on page 60 shows the sequence of packets received by the host. The KS8701 processes the FLEX signal one block at a time, and one phase at a time. Thus, the address and vector information in block 0 phase A is sent to the host in packets 1 - 3. Then information in block 0 phase C, two block information words and one long address, is sent to the host in packets 4-6. Packets 7 - 18 correspond to information in block 1, processed in phase A first and phase C second.

Appendix A: Application Notes
BUILDING A FRAGMENTED MESSAGE
The longest message which will fit into a frame is 84 code words total of message data. Three alpha characters per word yields a maximum message of 252 characters in a frame assuming no other traffic. Messages longer than this value must be sent as several fragments. Additional fragments can be expected when the "continue bit" in the 1st Message Word is set. This causes the pager to examine every following frame for an additional fragment until the last fragment with the continue bit reset is found. The only requirement relating to the placement in time of the remaining fragments is that no more than 32 frames (1 minute) or 128 frames (4 minutes) as indicated by the service provider may pass between fragment receptions. Each fragment contains a check sum character to detect errors in the fragment, a fragment number 0, 1, or 2 to detect missing fragments, a message number to identify which message the fragment is a part, and the continue bit which either indicates that more fragments are in queue or that the last fragment has been received. The following describes the sequence of events between the Host and the KS8701 required to handle a fragmented message:
l
The host will receive a vector indicating one of the following types: V2V1V0 000 101 110 Type Secure Alphanumeric Hex / Binary
l
The KS8701 will increment the all frame mode counter inside the KS8701 and begin to decode all of the following frames. The host will receive the Message Packet(s) contained within that frame followed by a Status Packet. The host must decide based on the Message Packet to return to normal decoding operation. If the message is indicated as fragmented by the Message Continued Flag "C" being set in the Message Packet then the host does not decrement the all frame mode counter at this time. The host decrements the counter if the Message Continued Flag "C" is clear by writing the All Frame Mode Packet to the KS8701 with the "DAF" bit = 1. If no other fragments, temporary addresses are pending and the FAF bit is clear in the All Frame Mode Register, then the KS8701 returns to normal operation. The KS8701 continues to decode all of the frames and passes any address information, vector information and message information to the host followed by a status packet indicating the end of the frame. If the message is indicated as fragmented by the Message Continued Flag "C" in the Message Packet then the host remains in the receive mode expecting more information from the KS8701. After the host receives the second and subsequent fragment with the Message Continued Flag "C" = 1, it should decrement the all frame mode counter by sending an All Frame Mode Packet to the KS8701 with the "DAF" bit = 1. Alternatively, the host may choose to decrement the counter at the end of the entire message by decrementing the counter once for each fragment received.

When the host receives a Message Packet with the Message Continued Flag "C" = 0, it will send two All Frame Mode Packets to the KS8701 with the "DAF" bit = 1. The two packets decrement the count for the first fragment and the last fragment. This decrements the all frame counter to zero, if no other fragmented messages, temporary addresses are pending and the FAF bit is clear in the All Frame Mode Register, the KS8701 returns to normal operation. The above process must be repeated for each occurrence of a fragmented message. The host must keep track of the number of fragmented messages being decoded and insure the all frame mode counter decrements after each fragment or after each fragmented message.

OPERATION OF A TEMPORARY ADDRESS
GROUP MESSAGING The FLEX protocol allows for a dynamic group call for the purpose of sending a common message to a group of paging devices. The dynamic group call approach assigns a "Temporary Address" using the personal address and the short instruction vector. The FLEX protocol specifies sixteen addresses for the dynamic group call which may be temporarily activated in a future frame (If the frame or one of the frames designated is equal to the present frame the host is to interpret this as the next occurrence of this frame 4 minutes in the future.) The temporary address is valid for one message starting in the specified frame(s) and remaining valid throughout the following frames to the completion of the message. If the message is not found in the specified frame(s) the host must disable the assigned temporary address. The following describes the sequence of events between the Host and the KS8701 required to handle a temporary address:
l
Following an Address Packet, the host will receive a Vector Packet with V2V1V0 = 001 and i2i1i0 = 000 or 010 (a Short Instruction Vector indicating a temporary address has been assigned to this pager). The system may send either i2i1i0 = 000 or i2i1i0 = 010 or both when assigning a temporary address. The vector packet with i2i1i0 = 000 will indicate which temporary address is assigned and the frame in which the temporary address is expected. The vector packet with i2i1i0 =010 will indicate which temporary address is assigned, the MSb of the expected frame (essentially indicating 64 frames in which to look for the temporary address), and a message sequence number. When the vector packet with i2i1i0 = 010 is received on a long address, the specific assign frame is included in the message word sent after the vector The KS8701 will increment the corresponding temporary address counter for each temporary address assignment vector received and begin to decode all of the following frames. Note that this implies a single dynamic group assignment that is implemented by sending two short instructions ( one for each temporary address assignment mode of the short instruction vector) will cause the corresponding temporary address counter to increment twice. The KS8701 continues to decode all of the frames and passes any address information, vector information and message information to the host followed by a status packet indicating the end of each frame and the current frame number. There are several scenarios which may occur with temporary addresses 1. The temporary address is not found in the any of the assigned frames and therefore the host must terminate the temporary address mode by sending an All Frame Mode Packet to the KS8701 with the "DTA" bit of the particular temporary address set. (if both temporary address assignment packets were used to assign the temporary address, the "DTA" bit must be set twice to disable the temporary address) The temporary address is found in the frame it was assigned and was not a fragmented message. Again, the host must terminate the temporary address mode by sending an All Frame Mode Packet to the KS8701 with the "DTA" bit of the particular temporary address set.(if both temporary address assignment packets were used to assign the temporary address, the "DTA" bit must be set twice to disable the temporary address)

The temporary address is found in the assigned frame and it is a fragmented message. In this case, the host must follow the rules for Operation of a Fragmented Message and determine the proper time to stop the all frame mode operation. In this case, the host must write to the "DAF" bit with a "1" and the appropriate "DTA" bit with a "1" in the All Frame Mode Register in order to terminate both the fragmented message and the temporary address. (if both temporary address assignment packets were used to assign the temporary address, the "DTA" bit must be set twice to disable the temporary address)
l
The above operation is repeated for every temporary address.

Time To Warm Up Start. Defined as the amount of time there is before the receiver will start to warm up (i.e. transition from the off state to the first warm up state). Time To Tasks Disabled. Defined as the amount of time the host has to complete any host initiated tasks (e.g. by setting SND or SAS in the roaming control packet).
l
The formula' s for calculating these times depend on whether the KS8701 is in synchronous mode or asynchronous mode. SYNCHRONOUS MODE:
Time To Warm Up Start (TNF * 80ms) + (Skipped Frames * 1874.375ms) + Receiver Off Time - 167.5ms Time To Tasks Disabled (TNF * 80ms) + (Skipped Frames * 1874.375ms) - 247.5ms ASYNCHRONOUS MODE: Time To Warm Up Start ((TNF - 2) * 80ms) + Receiver Off Time Time To Tasks Disabled ((TNF - 3) * 80ms)
Where, TNF: Skipped Frames: Time to Next Frame. Value from the receiver shutdown packet. The number of frames that won' t be decoded. This can be calculated from the Current Frame (CF) and Next Needed Frame (NAF) fields in the receiver shutdown packet (e.g. If CF is 10 and NAF is 12, then Skipped Frames is 1)
Receiver Off Time: The time programmed in the receiver off setting packet.

CALCULATING HOW LONG TASKS TAKE Since the Time To Task Disabled discussed in the previous section limits how much the host can do while the KS8701 is battery saving, it is necessary for the host to know how long it can take the KS8701 to perform a task. The formulas below calculate how long the two types of host initiated tasks take to complete as measured from the last SPI clock of the packet that initiates the task to the time the receiver shutdown sequence starts. Note that the receiver shutdown sequence must start before tasks are disabled. The following formula calculates how long it will take to complete a Noise Detect started by setting the SND bit in the roaming control packet. This formula assumes that (1) the noise detect was performed while in synchronous mode or (2) the noise detect was performed in asynchronous mode and did not find FLEX signal or (3) the noise detect found FLEX signal but the DAS bit of the roaming control packet was set.
Time To Perform Noise Detect Total Warm Up Time + 82ms
Where, Total Warm Up Time: The sum of the times programmed for the used warm up steps plus the time programmed for the 3200sps Sync Setting in the receiver control configuration packets. The following formula calculates how long it will take to complete an A-word search initiated by setting the SAS bit in the roaming control packet. This formula assumes that the A-word search failed to find roaming FLEX channel.
Time To Perform A word Search Total Warm Up Time + AST + 47ms
Where, Total Warm Up Time: The sum of the times programmed for the used warm up steps plus the time programmed for the 3200sps Sync Setting in the receiver control configuration packets. AST: The value configured using the timing control packet.
The following formula calculates how long it will take to complete a Noise Detect/A-word search combination. This can occur when the noise detect is performed while in asynchronous mode, the noise detect finds FLEX signal, and the DAS bit of the roaming control packet is not set.
Time To Perform Both Total Warm Up Time + AST + 127ms
Where, Total Warm Up Time: The sum of the times programmed for the used warm up steps plus the time programmed for the 3200sps Sync Setting in the receiver control configuration packets. AST: The value configured using the timing control packet.
