PRODUCTION DATA.
DOUT/DRDY serves a dual-purpose function. This pin is used with SCLK to read conversion and register data from the device. Data on DOUT/DRDY are shifted out on the SCLK rising edge. DOUT/DRDY goes to a high-impedance state when CS is high.
In addition, the DOUT/DRDY pin can also be configured as a data-ready indicator by setting the DRDYM bit high in the configuration register. DOUT/DRDY then transitions low at the same time that the DRDY pin goes low to indicate new conversion data are available. Both signals can be used to detect if new data are ready. However, because DOUT/DRDY is disabled when CS is high, the recommended method of monitoring the end of a conversion when multiple devices are present on the SPI bus is to use the dedicated DRDY pin.
