When Bit 7 (ExtraSlow) of Configuration Register 6
(0x10) is set, the default round−robin cycle time increases to
240 ms.
Bypass All Voltage Input Attenuators
Setting Bit 5 of Configuration Register 2 (0x73) removes
the attenuation circuitry from the 2.5 VIN, VCCP, VCC, 5 VIN,
and 12 VIN inputs. This allows the user to directly connect
external sensors or rescale the analog voltage measurement
inputs for other applications. The input range of the ADC
without the attenuators is 0 V to 2.25 V.
Bypass Individual Voltage Input Attenuators
Bits [7:4] of Configuration Register 4 (0x7D) can be used
to bypass individual voltage channel attenuators.

Single−Channel ADC Conversion
While single−channel mode is intended as a test mode that
can be used to increase sampling times for a specific
channel, therefore helping to analyze that channel’s
performance in greater detail, it can also have other
applications.
Setting Bit 6 of Configuration Register 2 (0x73) places the
ADT7490 into single−channel ADC conversion mode. In
this mode, the ADT7490 can read a single voltage channel
only. The selected voltage input is read every 0.7 ms. The
appropriate ADC channel is selected by writing to Bits [7:4]
of the TACH1 minimum high byte register (0x55).

1. In the process of configuring single-channel ADC conversion
mode, the TACH1 minimum high byte is also changed, possibly
trading off TACH1 minimum high byte functionality with
single-channel mode functionality.
