The threshold should be set to a value from 1 to FIFO size minus 1. (Default is set to 7 at reset
or power up). Refer to Table 5-7 for FIFO threshold settings.

Threshold
Mode 1 is FIFO test mode, in which data bytes will be written into the data FIFO and read
back from it. The FIFO flags (empty, almost full, and full) will change according to the data
bytes available in the data FIFO and the configured threshold.
Mode 2 should be avoided. Data bytes cannot be written into the FIFO under this mode.
Bytes read from the FIFO will be the same as in mode 0.
Mode 3 is data transfer mode. Data bytes will be written into the FIFO by the A/D converter.
The data byte read from the address is the first available byte in the data FIFO if it is not
empty. If the FIFO is empty then the most recent byte written into the FIFO will be returned.
The data FIFO register is read-only under this mode.
5.2.1.2 Mode Setting
The FIFO operation mode setting is always initiated by the data FIFO flush command with the
access/program bit set to ‘0’ (bit 0 at base + 7) before data acquisition is started. This will set
mode 0 (threshold setting mode). After the threshold is programmed or verified, set the bit to
‘1’ so the following read/write operations to the FIFO will be taken as data access operations.
The A/D circuit is in idle mode before it is moved into run mode by a trigger command (or an
arm command with pre-trigger). For one-shot operation, the A/D circuit will be set to run
mode after it receives the trigger signal. It will not return to idle mode until the specified scan
list is completed or an A/D stop command is received. For continuous trigger operation, the
A/D circuit will stay in run mode after being triggered (or armed with the pre-trigger option)
until an A/D stop command is received.
