PRODUCTION DATA.
On power-up, the device is in Manual Mode using the single ended and dual channel configuration and starts by sampling the analog input applied on Channel 0. In this mode, the device uses the high frequency oscillator for conversions. Manual mode allows the external host processor to directly request and control when the data is sampled. The data capture is initiated by an I2C command from the host processor and the data is then returned over the I2C bus at a throughput rate of up to 140-kSPS. Applications that could take advantage of this type of functionality include traditional ADC applications that require 1 or 2 channels of continuous data output.
After setting the operation mode to Manual Mode as illustrated in Figure 54, steps for operating the device to be in Manual Mode and reading data are illustrated in Figure 55. The host can either configure the device to scan through one channel or both channels by configuring the CHANNEL_INPUT_CFG register and AUTO_SEQ_CFG register.
