If the user wishes to read back either of the ADC
channels continuously, or both channels continuously,
the internal address counter of the MCP3901 can be
set to loop on specific register sets. In this case, there
is only one control byte on SDI to start the
communication. The part stays within the same loop
until CS returns high.
This internal address counter allows the following
functionality:
• Read one ADC channel’s data continuously
• Read both ADC channel’s data continuously (both
• Continuously read the entire register map
• Continuously read each separate register
• Continuously read all Configuration registers
• Write all Configuration registers in one

The STATUS/COM register contains the loop settings
for the internal address counter (READ<1:0>). The
internal address counter can either stay constant
(READ<1:0> = 00) and continuously read the same
byte, or it can auto-increment and loop through the
register groups defined below (READ<1:0> = 01),
register types (READ<1:0> = 10) or the entire register
map (READ<1:0> = 11).
Each channel is configured independently as either a
16-bit or 24-bit data word, depending on the setting of
the corresponding WIDTH bit in the CONFIG1 register.
For continuous reading, in the case of WIDTH = 0
(16-bit), the lower byte of the ADC data is not accessed
and the part jumps automatically to the following
address (the user does not have to clock out the lower
byte since it becomes undefined for WIDTH = 0).

READ<1:0> = 10) for both WIDTH settings. This
configuration is typically used for power metering
applications.
