16.2.2 Continuous Mode
Continuous mode is used to make a peak measurement on an incoming frame, without having to select a
specific pulse to be measured.
The quasi peak detector is reset by closing S1. After 7 x T
is set high. As long as RSSIC is kept high, S2 is closed, and RSSIOUT follows the peak value with a decay
time constant of 5 ms.
The ADC runs continuously, and continually updates the RSSI register. Thus, reading this register gives
the most recent conversion value, prior to the register being read. The minimum duration of the high pulse
on CONFB is 32 x T

This section discusses the internal registers, which are composed of two classes of bits.
All registers can be accessed by the SPI; these registers are described below.
At power-on, the POR resets all registers to a known value (in the shaded rows in the following tables).
This defines the MC33696’s default configuration.
After POR, CONFB forces a low level. Therefore, an external pullup resistor is required to avoid entering
configuration mode.
