PRODUCTION DATA
DRDY is a dedicated data-ready output pin, and the SDO/DRDY pin is a dual-function output pin. See the Data Ready (DRDY) Pin section for a description of the DRDY pin and the Serial Data Output/Data Ready (SDO/DRDY) section for a description of the SDO/DRDY pin.
A falling edge on the DRDY pin indicates that a new conversion completed. Connect the DRDY pin to a falling edge triggered interrupt-capable GPIO of the host controller. After the host detected the falling DRDY signal edge, the host reads the conversion data before the next DRDY falling edge. If an interrupt-capable GPIO is not available, the host can monitor the DRDY pin level. A logic low level indicates that the latest available conversion result has not been read. A logic high level indicates that no new conversion results are available, and that the latest conversion result has been read previously. Conversion data can be read at any time without concern of data corruption.
The SDO/DRDY pin can be used in a similar fashion as the dedicated DRDY pin when the dual function is enabled using the SDO_MODE = 1b setting. However, in contrast to the DRDY pin, the SDO/DRDY pin is only driven when CS is low. That means, the host has to drop the CS line to evaluate the SDO/DRDY signal.
