The device includes a mode where the
contents of the internal registers can be read back using the SDIO pin. This
readback mode can be useful as a diagnostic check to verify the serial interface
communication between the external controller and the ADC. The procedure to read the
contents of the serial registers is as follows:
- Drive the SEN pin low (all SPI rising
and falling clock edges need to occure while SEN driven
low).
- Set the R/W bit (A15) to 1. This setting disables any
further writes to the registers.
- Initiate a serial interface cycle specifying the address of
the register (A[14:0]) whose content must be read
- The device launches the contents (D[7:0]) of the selected
register on the SDIO pin on SCLK falling edge
- The external controller can capture the contents on the
SCLK rising edge
