STS

A/D status. 1 = A/D conversion or scan in progress, 0 = A/D is idle.

 

 

If SCANEN = 0 (single conversion mode), STS goes high when an A/D conversion is

 

started and stays high until the conversion is finished. If SCANEN = 1 (scan mode

 

enabled), STS stays high during the entire scan. After starting a conversion in

 

software, the program must monitor STS and wait for it to become 0 prior to reading

 

A/D values from Base + 0 and Base + 1.

 

 

 

 

SD

Single-ended / Differential mode indicator. 1 = SE, 0 = DI.

 

 

WAIT

A/D input circuit status. 1 = A/D circuit is settling on a new value, 0 = ok to start

 

conversion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WAIT goes high after the channel register (Base + 2) or the gain register (Base + 3)

 

is changed. It stays high for 9 microseconds. The program should monitor this bit

 

after writing to either register and wait for it to become 0 prior to starting an A/D

 

conversion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DACBSY

Indicates the DAC is busy updating (approx. 30 µS). 1 = Busy, 0 = Idle. Do not

 

attempt to write to the DAC (registers 6 and 7) while DACBSY = 1.

 

OVF

FIFO Overflow bit. This bit indicates that the FIFO has overflowed, meaning that the

 

A/D circuit has attempted to write data to it when it is full. This condition occurs when

 

data is written into the FIFO faster than it is read out.

 

 

 

When overflow occurs, the FIFO will not accept any more data until it is reset. The

 

OVF condition is sticky, meaning that it remains true until the FIFO is reset, so the

 

application program will be able to determine if overflow occurs. If overflow occurs,

 

then you must either reduce the sample rate or increase the efficiency of your

 

interrupt routine and/or operating system.

 

 

 

 

SCANEN

Scan mode readback (see Base + 3 Write above).

 

 

 

G1-G0

A/D gain setting readback (see Base + 3 Write above).
