configuration
Configuration data is stored in one 12-bit configuration register (CFR) (see Table 2 for CFR bit definitions). Once
configured after first power up, the information is retained in the H/W or S/W power-down state. When the device
is being configured, a write CFR cycle is issued by the host processor. This is a 16-bit write. (If the SCLK stops
after the first 8 bits are entered, then the next eight bits can be taken after the SCLK is resumed.) The status
of the CFR can be read with a read CFR command when the device is programmed for one-shot conversion
mode (CFR.D[6,5] = 00).

†
These bits only take effect in conversion modes 10 and 11.
sampling
The sampling period starts after the first 4 input data are shifted in if they are decoded as one of the conversion
commands. These are select analog input (channel 0 through 7) and select test (channel 1 through 3).
