Conversion Register
Select active analog input channels, scan modes, and
a single temperature measurement per scan by issuing
a command byte to the conversion register. Table 4
details channel selection, the four scan modes, and
how to request a temperature measurement. Start a
scan by writing to the conversion register when in clock
mode 10 or 11, or by applying a low pulse to the
CNVST pin when in clock mode 00 or 01. See Figures 6
and 7 for timing specifications for starting a scan with
CNVST.
A conversion is not performed if it is requested on a
channel or one of the channel pairs that has been con-
figured as CNVST or REF2. For channels configured as
differential pairs, the CHSEL0 bit is ignored and the two
pins are treated as a single differential channel.
Select scan mode 00 or 01 to return one result per sin-
gle-ended channel and one result per differential pair
within the selected scanning range (set by bits 2 and 1,
SCAN1 and SCAN0), plus one temperature result if
selected. Select scan mode 10 to scan a single input
channel numerous times, depending on NSCAN1 and
NSCAN0 in the ADC averaging register (Table 9).
Select scan mode 11 to return only one result from a
single channel.
Setup Register
Issue a command byte to the setup register to config-
ure the clock, reference, power-down modes, and ADC
single-ended/differential modes. Table 5 details the bits
in the setup-register command byte. Bits 5 and 4
(CKSEL1 and CKSEL0) control the clock mode, acqui-
sition and sampling, and the conversion start. Bits 3
and 2 (REFSEL1 and REFSEL0) set the device for either
internal or external reference. Bits 1 and 0 (DIFFSEL1
and DIFFSEL0) address the ADC unipolar-mode and
bipolar-mode registers and configure the analog-input
channels for differential operation.
The ADC reference is always on if any of the following
conditions are true:
1)The FBGON bit is set to one in the reset register.
2)At least one DAC output is powered up and
REFSEL[1:0] (in the setup register) = 00.
3)At least one DAC is powered down through the
100kΩ to V
REF
and REFSEL[1:0] = 00.
