The input signal will initially be sampled with the first
falling edge of the clock following the transmission of a
logic-high R/W bit. Additionally, with the rising edge of
the SCL, the ADC will transmit an acknowledge bit
(ACK = 0). The master must release the data bus dur-
ing this clock pulse to allow the MCP3221 to pull the
line low (refer to Figure 5-3).
For consecutive samples, sampling begins on the fall-
ing edge of the LSB of the conversion result, which is
two bytes long. Refer to Figure 5-6 a for timing diagram.

ing edge of the LSB of the conversion result. See
Figure 5-6 for timing.

Once the MCP3221 acknowledges the address byte,
the device will transmit four ‘0’ bits followed by the upper
four data bits of the conversion. The master device will
then acknowledge this byte with an ACK = Low. With the
following 8 clock pulses, the MCP3221 will transmit the
lower eight data bits from the conversion. The master
then sends an ACK = high, indicating to the MCP3221
that no more data is requested. The master can then
send a stop bit to end the transmission.
