Operation
Trigger pulses are generated from internal D0 edges
and compare with programmable window generated
from the reference clock frequency. If time between
data edges falls within the window data pulse width is
bad. Detected stable bits are counted. Wakeup will
occur allowing data to output if sufficient data bits are
detected. Two bad pulses or lack of pulse cause
device to go to sleep for sleep timer duration.

Squelch action
During normal operation, if 4 or less out of 8 bit pulses
are good squelch output is actived. If good bit count
increases to 7 or more in any 8 sequential bits
squelch output is set low allowing data to output at DO
pin.
