3.1.2 Normal Operation (Polling)
3.1.2.1 Pressure Channel
After initializing the Mode register per section 3.1.1.2, a new 24-bit pressure value will be available in ~
5.26 ms (1 ms settle time + 4.26 ms conversion).
The pressure conversion remains in the data register and DOUT/ RDY remains active (low) until the
data is read or another conversion is performed.
The process of reading the conversion and reconfiguring the ADC for single conversion mode requires
repeated cycling through the following steps:
1. Wait > 5.26 ms for the conversion to complete, and/or monitor the status of the
DOUT/ RDY line.
2. Send
0x58
to the Communications register to indicate a subsequent read of the 24-bit
Data register.
3. Send 24 clock cycles to read the 24-bit Data register.
4. Send
0x08
to the Communications register to indicate a subsequent write to the 16-bit
Mode register.
5. Send
0x3001
to the Mode register to place the ADC into a single conversion mode and
set the update rate to 470 Hz.
6. Repeat
3.1.2.1 Temperature Channel
After initializing the Mode register per section 3.1.1.1, a new 16-bit temperature value will be available
in ~ 100 ms. (As temperature is generally a more slowly changing input than pressure, and has a
modest impact on the pressure output, this conversion rate should be adequate for most applications.)
The temperature conversion remains in the data register and DOUT/ RDY remains active (low) until
the data is read or another conversion is performed.
The process of reading the conversion and reconfiguring the ADC for single conversion mode requires
repeated cycling through the following steps:
1. Wait 100 ms for the conversion to complete and/or monitor the status of the
DOUT/ RDY line.
2. Send
0x38
to the Communications register to indicate a subsequent read of the 16-bit
Data register.
3. Send 16 clock cycles to read the 16-bit Data register.
4. Send
0x10
to the Communications register to indicate a subsequent write to the 8-bit
Mode register.
5. Send
0x80
to the Mode register to place the ADC into a single conversion mode.
6. Repeat
