PRODUCTION DATA
This device offers a selectable 2-bit counter (activated using the CE bit in the CONFIG register) that is a useful feature in safety applications. The counter value automatically increments whenever a new conversion result is stored in the output register, indicating a new value. The counter default value after power-up is 01 (followed by 10, 11, 00, 01, and so on); see Figure 7-3. The counter value increments only when new conversion results are transferred to the output register. Thus, this counter verifies the ADC performed a conversion and the data read are the new conversion result (not an old result read multiple times).
