PRODUCTION DATA.
When in multi-channel mode, the LDC1312/LDC1314 alternates conversions on all selected channels. After each channel conversion completes, the conversion results for that channel overwrites the previous conversion results with the new data.
When the device completes a conversion on the last channel in the selected group, the device will pull INTB low if DRDY2INT is set to 1. At this time, the conversion results should be retrieved via the I2C bus.
If the device is put into Sleep mode or Shutdown mode, all DATAx registers are cleared of conversion data.
The STATUS register (Address 0x18) flags UNREADCONVx monitor the accesses to the DATAx registers.
When the DATAx register is read, the corresponding UNREADCONVx flag is cleared.
As shown in Figure 55 , if the I2C data readback is delayed, then it is possible to lose older, unread conversion results. Monitoring the UNREADCONVx flags are useful to assess whether data loss is occurring.
A delayed read of previous conversion results can produce the condition in which reading the STATUS register immediately after INTB asserts shows that Channel 0 has no unread data (where the UNREADCONV0 flag is 0), but other channels do have unread data indicated by the corresponding UNREADCONVx flags.
