continuous conversion mode
The internal clock oscillator used in the single-conversion mode is switched off in continuous conversion mode.
In continuous conversion mode, (bit 1 of control register 0 set to 0) the ADC operates with a free running
external clock signal CONV_CLK. With every rising edge of the CONV_CLK signal a new converted value is
written into the FIFO.
Figure 2 shows the timing of continuous conversion mode when one analog input channel is selected. The
maximum throughput rate is 6 MSPS in this mode. The timing of the DATA_AV signal is shown here in the case
of a trigger level set to 1 or 4.

Figure 3 shows the timing of continuous conversion mode when two analog input channels are selected. The
maximum throughput rate per channel is 3 MSPS in this mode. The data flow in the bottom of the figure shows
the order the converted data is written into the FIFO. The timing of the DATA_AV signal shown here is for a trigger
level set to 2 or 4.
