MCP3422/3/4
5.2
The device has an 8-bit wide configuration register to
select for: input channel, conversion mode, conversion
rate, and PGA gain. This register allows the user to
change the operating condition of the device and check
the status of the device operation.

Configuration Register
RDY: Ready Bit
This bit is the data ready flag. In read mode, this bit indicates if the output register has been updated
with a latest conversion result. In One-Shot Conversion mode, writing this bit to “1” initiates a new
conversion.
Reading RDY bit with the read command:
1 = Output register has not been updated
0 = Output register has been updated with the latest conversion result
Writing RDY bit with the write command:
Continuous Conversion mode: No effect
One-Shot Conversion mode:
1 = Initiate a new conversion
0 = No effect

1 = Continuous Conversion Mode (Default). The device performs data conversions continuously
0 = One-Shot Conversion Mode. The device performs a single conversion and enters a low power
