Figure 9. Analog and Digital Pings with No RX
Observe the single-pulse burst approximately every 500 ms. A digital ping is longer and is added at
random intervals. This digital ping begins communication with a receiver placed on the TX coil. In most
cases, the Analog pin will detect a receiver being placed on the TX pad. The digital ping is a backup which
captures any certified RX. Note that the overall current during the analog pin is substantially lower than the
digital ping.
