7.3.9 Output Data Format
Figure 25 illustrates various I2C frames for reading data.
- Read the ADC conversion result: Two 8-bit I2C packets are required (frame A).
- Read the averaged conversion result: Two 8-bit I2C packets are required (frame B).
- Read data with the channel ID appended: The 4-bit channel ID can be appended to the 12-bit ADC result by configuring the APPEND_STATUS field in the GENERAL_CFG register. When the channel ID is appended to the 12-bit ADC data, two I2C packets are required (frame C). If the channel ID is appended to the 16-bit average result, three I2C frames are required (frame D).
