PRODUCTION DATA
The STATUS_LSB register includes 2-bit conversion and sequence counters for the various ADCs (CONV1y_COUNT[1:0], SEQ2y_COUNT[1:0]).
The conversion counter, CONV1y_COUNT[1:0], increments every time a new conversion on ADC1y completes. The counter rolls over from 11b to 00b. To reset the counter, disable ADC1y or place the device in standby or power-down mode. The device makes sure that the conversion counter value always matches to the ADC1y conversion result that is output in the same SPI frame.
The sequence counter, SEQ2y_COUNT[1:0], increments every time a new sequence on ADC2y completes. The counter rolls over from 11b to 00b. To reset the counter, disable ADC2y or place the device in standby or power-down mode. The device makes sure that the sequence counter value always matches to the ADC2y conversion step results that are output in the same SPI frame. That means, if a new sequence completes while reading out conversion results from the ADC2y conversion step result registers (SEQxy_STEPx_DATA), the conversion results from the new sequence run are blocked from overwriting the conversion result registers, but are internally buffered. Only after the read command is complete do the buffered conversion results from the new sequence run update the conversion step result registers.
