PRODUCTION DATA
Optionally, the device increases the SDO-x bus width from one bit to two bits (dual SDO-x) when operating with any data transfer protocol. The default bus width is one bit (single SDO-x). To operate the device in dual SDO mode, set the SDO1_CONFIG[1:0] bits in the SDO_CTL_REG register to 11b. In this mode, the ALARM/SDO-1/GPO pin functions as SDO-1.
In dual SDO mode, two bits of data are launched on the two SDO-x pins (SDO-0 and SDO-1) on every SCLK launch edge. Figure 6-16 and Figure 6-31 show timing diagrams for dual SDO mode.
For any particular SPI protocol, the device follows the same timing specifications for single and dual SDO modes. The only difference is that the device requires half as many SCLK cycles to output the same number of bits when in single SDO mode. Thus, the minimum required SCLK frequency is reduced for a certain sampling rate of the ADC.
