RATE<2:0>: ADC conversion-rate-setting bits. These
three bits set the conversion rate of the ADC as shown
in Table 6. The initial conversion requires four conver-
sion cycles for valid data and subsequent conversions
require only one cycle (if CONT = 1). A full-scale input
change can require up to five cycles for valid data if
the digital filter is not reset with the STRT or S bit.
MODE<2:0>: Conversion-mode bits. These three bits
determine the type of conversion for the ADC as shown
in Table 7. When the ADC finishes an offset calibration
and/or gain calibration, the MODE<2:0> bits clear to 0
hex, the ADD bit in the STATUS register asserts, and
an interrupt asserts on INT (or UPIO_ if programmed as
DRDY) if MADD is unmasked. Perform a gain calibra-
tion after achieving the desired offset (calibrated or
not). If an offset and gain calibration are performed
together (MODE<2:0> = 7 hex), the offset calibration is
performed first followed by the gain calibration, and the
C is interrupted by INT (or UPIO_ if programmed as
DRDY) if MADD is unmasked only upon completion of
both offset and gain calibration. After power-on or cali-
bration, the ADC does not begin conversions until initi-
ated by the user (see the ADCE and STRT bit
descriptions in this section and see the S bit descrip-
tions in the MUX Register section). See the GAIN CAL
Register and OFFSET CAL Register sections for details
on system calibration.
