PRODUCTION DATA
In continuous-conversion mode, the ADC converts indefinitely until stopped by the user. Set the START bit to 1b to start conversions. Setting the START bit to 1b while conversions are ongoing aborts the ongoing conversion and restarts conversions.
Use the STOP bit to stop conversions. The currently ongoing conversion is allowed to finish after the STOP bit is set to 1b. After setting the STOP bit, the STOP bit reads back 1b until conversions are stopped. When conversions stopped, the STOP bit reads back 0b to indicate the device transitioned to idle or standby mode.
Writing 1b to both the START and STOP bits at the same time has no effect.
The last conversion result is still available for readout after conversions stopped. The conversion results only clear after a device reset, in power-down mode, or are overwritten when a new conversion result becomes available.
The START bit takes effect at the CS rising edge (4-wire SPI mode), or the last SCLK falling edge (3-wire SPI mode) of the SPI frame where the CONVERSION_CTRL register is written. See the Write Register Command section for details on the SPI frame of a register write command.
If DRDY is low, setting the START bit drives the DRDY pin high, however the old conversion data can still be read until the new conversions become available.
When conversions are started or restarted using the START bit, the device hides unsettled conversions and only provides a settled conversion result after the conversion latency period (tLATENCY) plus the optional delay time (tDELAY) as shown in Digital Filter Settling Time and Conversion Period. All subsequent conversions have a conversion period of tDATA = 1 / fDATA = OSR / fMOD.
