PRODUCTION DATA
BUSY is an active-high digital output pin.
BUSY is an active-high digital output signal. This pin goes to logic high after the rising edge of the CONVST signal, indicating that the front-end, track-and-hold circuits for the selected input channels are in hold mode and that the ADC conversion has started. When the BUSY signal goes high, any activity on the CONVST input has no effect on the device. The BUSY output remains high until the conversion process is complete and the conversion data are latched into the output data registers for read out. If the conversion data are read for the previous conversion when BUSY is high, make sure that the data read operation is complete before the falling edge of the BUSY output.
In the burst mode of operation, the BUSY pin goes to logic high after the rising edge of the CONVST signal. The BUSY signal stays high until all conversions in the sequence are complete. See the Section 7.4.2.6 section for further details.
