ADVANCE INFORMATION
The ADC channels are simultaneously synchronized by the START pin or through SPI operation. If controlling conversions through SPI, 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 causes the conversions of all channels to simultaneously restart. This address range excludes the GPIO write value, GPIO direction, and the GPIO enable registers (register addresses 0Eh, 0Fh, and 10h). A simultaneous restart results in loss of synchronization to the START signal. In this case, resynchronize the ADC channels if necessary.
The ADC has two modes for synchronization and control: synchronized and start/stop modes, each with specific functionalities. In SPI programming mode, the desired mode is programmed by the START_MODE[1:0] bits of the GEN_CFG2 register. In hardware programming mode, the synchronized control mode is the default when the wideband filter mode is selected. Start/stop mode is the default when the low-latency filter mode is selected. Synchronized control mode is not available through SPI operation.
