Bits 3 - 2 - SAMP_TIME[1:0] - Determines the time to take a single sample as shown in Table 5.18.

Sample time affects the magnitude of the base counts, as shown in Table 4.1, "Ideal Base Counts".

Bits 1 - 0 - CYCLE_TIME[1:0] - Determines the desired sensing cycle time for channels enabled in the

Active state, as shown in Table 5.19. All enabled channels are sampled at the beginning of the sensing

cycle. If additional time is remaining, the device is placed into a lower power state for the remainder

of the sensing cycle.

APPLICATION NOTE: The programmed sensing cycle time (CYCLE_TIME[1:0]) is only maintained if the actual time

to take the samples is less than the programmed cycle time. The AVG[2:0] bits will take

priority, so the sensing cycle time will be extended as necessary to accommodate the

number of samples to be measured.
