QUIET INTERFACE MODE
To improve performance at High Speed, operate the ADC in Quiet Interface Mode. This mode provides improved
INL and DNL performance in I
2
C Hs-Mode (3.4MHz). The Quiet Interface mode provides a maximum throughput
rate of 162ksps. Figure 35 describes how to read the conversion result register in this mode. Basically, the
Master needs to release SCL for at least 1µs before the MSB of every upper data byte. The diagram assumes
that the address pointer register is set to its default value.
Quiet Interface mode will only improve INL and DNL performance in Hs-Mode. Standard and Fast mode
performance is unaffected by the Quiet Interface mode.
