Table 2. Command Set (CMR) and Configuration
The four MSBs (D7 – D4) of the input data register are the address or command. These bits can be used to
address one of the 11 input channels, select one of three reference-test voltages, activate the software
power-down mode, or access the second configuration register, CFGR2. All address/command bits affect the
current conversion, which is the conversion that immediately follows the current I/O cycle. They also allow
access to CFGR1 except for command 1111b, which allows access to CFGR2.
CFGR1 bits (D3 and D2) of the data register select the output data length. The data-length selection is valid for
the current I/O cycle (the cycle in which the data is read). The data-length selection, being valid for the current
I/O cycle, allows device start-up without losing I/O synchronization. A data length of 8, 12, or 16 bits can be
selected. Since the converter has 12-bit resolution, a data length of 12 bits is suggested.
With D3 and D2 set to 00 or 10, the device is in the 12-bit data-length mode and the result of the current
conversion is output as a 12-bit serial data stream during the next I/O cycle. The current I/O cycle must be
exactly 12 bits long for proper synchronization, even when this means corrupting the output data from a previous
conversion. The current conversion is started immediately after the twelfth falling edge of the current I/O cycle.
