Data Sheet - Detailed Description
Starting a Conversion
A conversion is started by clocking a control byte into pin DIN.
With CSN low, each rising edge on SCLK clocks a bit from DIN into the internal shift register, starting with the MSB. A
conversion will only start when a logic 1 is written to the START bit of the 8-bit control register.
