8.4.2.1 Single-Shot Conversion Mode

In single-shot conversion mode, the device only performs a conversion when a START/SYNC command is issued. The device consequently performs one single conversion and returns to a low-power state afterwards. The internal oscillator and all analog circuitry are turned off while the device waits in this low-power state until the next conversion is started. Writing to the configuration register when a conversion is ongoing functions as a new START/SYNC command that stops the current conversion and restarts a single new conversion. Each conversion is fully settled (assuming the analog input signal settles to the final value before the conversion starts) because the device digital filter settles within a single cycle.
