3.4 Rx Early Exit
Rx Early Exit function allows the device to exit the RX state as soon as a certain number of packets defined by “Valid Reception”
have been successfully received and decoded. This function is only available in duty-cycle receive mode. It is designed to further
save the power consumption by shortening the receive time. The below are a few application examples.

This example is based on the one descript in Chapter 3.3.1. When no signal is being transmitted, the device works in the fixed
duty mode. The Rx Time is 400 ms.

Figure 15. Fixed Duty Operation
Because the Rx Early Exit function is turned on and the “Valid Reception” is set to 1 packet, the device automatically exits the RX
state as soon as 1 valid packet is successfully captured. As shown in the below figure, due to the happening of the early exit
event, the device only stays in the RX state for 160 ms in the current cycle, saving 240 ms from the original 400 ms.
