PRODUCTION DATA
The device can be operated in 3-wire SPI mode by tying the CS pin permanently to GND. When CS is tied low at power-up or after reset, the device operates in 3-wire SPI mode. The device changes to 4-wire SPI mode any time CS is taken high.
Because CS no longer controls the frame length in 3-wire SPI mode, SCLKs are counted by the ADC to determine the beginning and ending of a frame. The number of SCLKs must be controlled by the host and must match the size of the output frame. The number of bits per frame depend on the device resolution and configuration. The size of the output frame is shown in Table 7-9. Because frame timing is determined by the number of SCLKs, avoid inadvertent SCLK transitions, such as those possibly occurring at power up.
3-wire SPI mode supports the same command format and clocking as the 4-wire mode, except there is no CS toggling. Figure 7-33 shows an example for reading conversion data in 3-wire SPI mode.
Daisy-chain connection of devices is not possible in 3-wire SPI mode, and also continuous-read mode is not available.
