The device has several useful digital functions (such as test patterns, gain, and offset correction). These functions require extra clock cycles for operation and increase the overall latency and power of the device. These digital functions are disabled by default after reset and the raw ADC output is routed to the output data pins with a latency of 16 clock cycles. Figure 8-15 shows more details of the processing after the ADC. In order to use any of the digital functions, the EN DIGITAL bit must be set to 1. After this, the respective register bits must be programmed as described in the following sections and in the Section 8.6 section.
