PRODUCTION DATA
In this mode, the ADC stores the 16 conversions prior to the assertion of the ALERT pin. Upon assertion of ALERT, conversions stop. For this mode, set DATA_BUFFER_OPMODE to 100b. In this mode, the ADC starts converting and stores the data when setting the SEQ_START bit in the START_SEQUENCE register and continues to store data into the data buffer until one of the digital comparator flags is set for crossing a high threshold or a low threshold for the channels selected in the sequence. If the SEQ_ABORT bit is set before the data buffer is filled, the ADC aborts the sequence and stops storing conversion results. If more than 16 conversions occur between start of sequence and alert output, the first entries written into the data buffer are overwritten.
Figure 7-15 and Figure 7-16 show the filling of the data buffer in autonomous mode with pre-ALERT data.
