14.3.4.2 Reading RSSI

In Basic Operating Modes, the RSSI value is valid in any receive state and is updated at time intervals according to the table below (see parameter t_RSSI in the Block Initialization and Settling Time table). The current RSSI value can be accessed by reading the RSSI bits in the PHY_RSSI register (PHY_RSSI.RSSI).

Table 14-26. RSSI Update Interval
PHY Mode	Update Interval [µs]
BPSK-20	32
BPSK-40	24
O-QPSK	8

It is not recommended reading the RSSI value when using the Extended Operating Modes. Instead, the automatically generated ED value should be used.
