8.4.2.7 Channel Sequencing Modes
The devices offer two channel sequencing modes: AUTO_RST and MAN_Ch_n.
In AUTO_RST mode, the channel number automatically increments in every subsequent frame. As explained in
the
Auto-Scan Sequencing Control Registers
section, the analog inputs can be selected for an automatic scan
with a register setting. The device automatically scans only the selected analog inputs in ascending order. The
unselected analog input channels can also be powered down for optimizing power consumption in this mode of
operation. The auto-mode sequence can be reset at any time during an automatic scan (using the AUTO_RST
command). When the reset command is received, the ongoing auto-mode sequence is reset and restarts from
the lowest selected channel in the sequence.
In MAN_Ch_n mode, the same input channel is selected during every data conversion frame. The input
command words to select individual analog channels in MAN_Ch_n mode are listed in
. If a particular
input channel is selected during a data frame, then the analog inputs on the same channel are sampled during
the next data frame.
shows the SDI command sequence for transitions from AUTO_RST to
MAN_Ch_n mode.

(Channels 0 and 5 are Selected for Auto Sequence)
shows the SDI command sequence for transitions from MAN_Ch_n to AUTO_RST mode. Note that
each SDI command is executed on the next CS falling edge. A RST command can be issued at any instant
during any channel sequencing mode, after which the device is placed into a default power-up state in the next
data frame.
