Serial Register Readout
The device includes a mode where the contents of the internal registers can be read back on the OVR_SDOUT
pin. This readback may be useful as a diagnostic check to verify the serial interface communication between the
external controller and the ADC.
After power-up and device reset, the OVR_SDOUT pin functions as an over-range indicator pin by default. When
the readout mode is enabled, OVR_SDOUT outputs the contents of the selected register serially. OVR_SDOUT
is a CMOS logic output buffer that runs off the DRVDD supply.
1. Set the READOUT register bit to '1'. This setting puts the device in serial readout mode and disables any
further writes to the internal registers except the register at address 0. Note that the READOUT bit itself is
also located in register 0. The device can exit readout mode by writing READOUT to 0. Only the contents of
the register at address 0 cannot be read in the register readout mode.
2. Initiate a serial interface cycle specifying the address of the register (A7 to A0) whose content must be read.
3. The device serially outputs the contents (D7 to D0) of the selected register on the OVR_SDOUT pin.
4. The external controller can latch the contents at the falling edge of SCLK.
5. To exit the serial readout mode, the reset register bit READOUT = 0 enables writes into all registers of the
device. At this point, the OVR_SDOUT pin becomes an over-range indicator pin.
(1) The OVR_SDOUT pin finctions as OVR (READOUT = 0).
(2) The OVR_SDOUT pin finctions as a serial readout (READOUT = 1).
