The ADS54T01 provides a fast over-range indication on the OVRA/B pins. The fast OVR is triggered if the input voltage exceeds the programmable overrange threshold and it gets presented after just 12 clock cycles enabling a quicker reaction to an overrange event. The OVR threshold can be configured using SPI register writes.

The input voltage level at which the overload is detected is referred to as the threshold and is programmable using the over-range threshold bits. The threshold at which fast OVR is triggered is (full-scale × [the decimal value of the FAST OVR THRESH bits] /16). After reset, the default value of the over-range threshold is set to 15 (decimal) which corresponds to a threshold of 0.56 dB below full scale (20 × log(15/16)).
