Power-down
timeout
This bit defines the period duration of the power-down timeout.
If the comparator outputs have not been activated during the programmed period, the part enters power-down
mode automatically. The part can be then returned to a normal operational mode either via the serial interface
or by the power supply off/on sequence.
The period is programmable in steps of 4 hours. For example, setting the value to 0x06 sets the duration to 24
hours. The maximum value of 0x3F corresponds to approximately 10.5 days.
The value of 0x00 disables the power-down timeout, and the part does not enter power-down mode automatically.

Table 17. CAPDAC Registers Bit Descriptions
Bit Mnemonic Description
7 DacEn DacEn = 1 enables capacitive the DAC.
6 DacAuto DacAuto = 1 enables the auto-DAC function in the adaptive threshold mode.
When the auto-DAC function is enabled, the part dynamically adjusts the CAPDAC to keep the CDC in an
optimal operating capacitive range. The CAPDAC value is automatically incremented when the data average
exceeds ¾ of the CDC full range, and the CAPDAC value is decremented when the data average goes below ¼
of the CDC full range. The auto-DAC increment or decrement step depends on the selected CDC capacitive
input range.
This bit has no effect in fixed threshold mode; the auto-DAC function is always disabled in the fixed threshold mode.
[5:0] DacValue CAPDAC value, Code 0x00 ≈ 0 pF, Code 0x3F ≈ CAPDAC full range.
