7.4.5 Synchronization

The ADC channels are synchronized by the START pin or by writing the START bit of the SPI CONTROL register. Synchronization aligns the conversion times of all ADC channels together. If controlling conversions through SPI (using the start/stop control mode), keep the START pin low to avoid contention with the pin. In SPI programing mode, writing to registers in the address range of 08h through 50h results in simultaneous restart of all channels. The restart causes loss of synchronization to the original START signal. Resynchronize the ADC channels if necessary.

When using the internal clock divider with values > 1, ADC synchronization has uncertainty as to when the ADC channels are converting due to the unknown phase of the divided clock signal. However, the ADC channels remain synchronized together. To avoid synchronization uncertainty, use the divide by 1 option.

After synchronization, the ADC waits for the digital filter to settle before providing output data. The wait time is equal to the filter latency (see the Digital Filter section for filter latency data). When OSR values of the channels are different, the device waits for the slowest data channel to settle before the frame-sync output signals start. In this case, the RPT_DATA bit of the slower channel DP_STATUS byte is set when the data are repeated during faster channel updates.

The ADC has two modes for synchronization and control: synchronized and start/stop control modes, each with specific functionalities. In SPI programming mode, the mode is programmed by the START_MODE[1:0] bits of the GEN_CFG2 register. In hardware programming mode, the synchronized control mode is forced when the wideband filter mode is selected. The start/stop control mode is the forced when the low-latency filter mode is selected. The synchronized control mode is not available through SPI operation.
