MAXIMUM POSSIBLE CONVERTER FREQUENCY
The converter frequency automatically adjusts to the LSB is kept stable and not resolved any further; the
value required by the input frequency and resolution. interpolation resolution halves.
This value ranges from zero to a maximum depen-
dent on the oscillator frequency that is set via register If the next frequency limit is overshot, the LSB and LSB

+1 are kept stable and so on. If the input frequency
again sinks below this frequency threshold, fine reso-
lution automatically returns.
