PRODUCTION DATA
On power-up, the ADC is in manual mode using the single-ended and dual-channel configuration and samples the analog input applied on channel 0. In this mode, the ADC uses the high-frequency oscillator for conversions. Manual mode allows the external host processor to directly request and control when the data are sampled. The data capture is initiated by an I2C command from the host processor and the data are then returned over the I2C bus at a throughput rate of up to 140 kSPS.
After setting the operation mode to manual mode as illustrated in Figure 7-11, steps for operating the ADC to be in manual mode and reading data are illustrated in Figure 7-12. The host can either configure the ADC to scan through one channel or both channels by configuring the CH_INPUT_CFG and AUTO_SEQ_CHEN registers.
