7 SR_BUSYn R 1h Slew Rate Not Busy. Maskable fault.
0h = DAC is slewing to the target code
1h = DAC_OUT has reached the DAC_DATA.
If slew rate is disabled, then this signal produces a rising edge within 3 internal clock cycles. If slew rate is enabled, this signal creates an IRQ event when the DAC_OUT has reached the DAC_DATA. At this time, slew rate can be safely disabled. If slew rate is disabled prior to DAC_OUT = DAC_DATA then a jump of DAC_OUT occurs. This can cause an unwanted fast transition on VOUT.

Applies ADC_BYP.DATA to the ADC channel being converted. ADC_OFFSET is ignored. Do not set OFST_BYP_EN and DATA_BYP_EN at the same time. If OFST_BYP_EN is also set, OFST_BYP_EN takes priority over DATA_BYP_EN. In this case, ADC_BYP.DATA is used for the ADC_OFFSET register, and DATA_BYP_EN is forced to 0. After a channel is converted, the ADC_BYP.DATA value appears in the readback register and is used to calculate faults.
