DATA FORMAT
The serial output data are provided in an offset binary
code as shown in Table 12. The Format bit in the
configuration register selects how many bits are used
in the output word. When Format = 1, 20 bits are
used. When Format = 0, the lower 4 bits are
truncated so that only 16 bits are used. Note that the
LSB size is 16 times bigger when Format = 0. An
offset is included in the output to allow slightly
negative inputs (for example, from board leakages)
from clipping the reading. This offset is approximately
0.4% of the positive full-scale.
BLANKSPACE
DATA RETRIEVAL
In both the Continuous and Noncontinuous modes of
operation, the data from the last conversion are
available for retrieval on the falling edge of DVALID
(see Figure 17 and Table 13). Data are shifted out on
the falling edge of the data clock, DCLK.

(1) Excludes the effects of noise, INL, offset, and gain errors.
Make sure not to retrieve data around changes in
CONV because this can introduce noise. Stop activity
on DCLK at least 10ms before or after a CONV
transition.
Setting the Format bit = 0 (16-bit output word) will
reduce the time needed to retrieve data by 20% since
there are fewer bits to shift out. This can be useful in
multichannel systems requiring only 16 bits of
resolution.
