NAME
DESCRIPTION
7(MSB)
START
The first logic “1” bit after CS goes low defines the beginning of the control byte.
6
SEL2
These 3 bits select which of the eight channels are used for the conversion (Tables 1 and 2).
5 SEL1
4
SEL0
3
UNI/BIP
1 = unipolar, 0 = bipolar. Selects unipolar or bipolar conversion mode. In unipolar mode, an
analog input signal from 0 to V
REF
can be converted; in bipolar mode, the differential signal can
range from -V
REF
/2 to +V
REF
/2.
2
SGL/DIF
1 = single ended, 0 = pseudo-differential. Selects single-ended or pseudo-differential conver-
sions. In single-ended mode, input signal voltages are referred to COM. In pseudo-differential
mode, the voltage difference between two channels is measured (Tables 1 and 2).

Once conversion is completed, the device goes into
the programmed power mode until a new control byte
is written.
The power-up delay is dependent on the power-down
state. Software low-power modes will be able to start
conversion immediately when running at decreased
clock rates (see Power-Down Sequencing). Upon
power-on reset, when exiting software full power-down
mode, or when exiting hardware shutdown, the device
goes immediately into full-power mode and is ready to
convert after 2µs when using an external reference.
When using the internal reference, wait for the typical
power-up delay from a full power-down (software or
hardware) as shown in Figure 8.
