are shifted out MSB first. It is not required to shift out
all 24 bits of data, but the data must be retrieved
before new data are updated (within t

) or else it will
be overwritten. Avoid data retrieval during the update
period (t

). DRDY/DOUT remains at the state of the
last bit shifted out until it is taken high (see t

),
