7.3.2 Multichannel and Single-Channel Operation

The LDC3114 provides four independent sensing channels. In the following sections, some parameters, such as DATAn and SENSORn_CONFIG, contain a channel index n.

Any of the four channels available in the LDC3114 can be independently enabled by setting the ENn and LPENn (n = 0, 1, 2, or 3) bit fields in Register EN (Address 0x0C). The low-power-enable bit LPENn only takes effect if the corresponding ENn bit is also set. If only one channel is set active, the LDC3114 periodically samples the single active channel at the configured scan rate. When several channels are set active, the LDC3114 operates in multichannel mode, and the device sequentially samples the active channels at the configured scan rate. Each channel of the LDC3114 can be independently enabled in Low Power Mode and Normal Power Mode.
