7.3.1.1. Timing Diagram
When no signal is received, the circuit wakes every Timer1 + Timer2 and switches to Receive mode for a time defined by
Timer2, as shown on the following diagram. If no Preamble is detected, it then switches back to Idle mode, i.e. Sleep mode
with RC oscillator on.
Figure 49. Listen Mode with No Preamble Received
If a Preamble signal is detected the Sequencer is switched off. The PreambleDetect signal can be mapped to DIO4 in order
to request the user's attention.
