19.4.1.2.1 Message Formats for On-Chip ADC Operation
This section describes the command/result message formats used for on-chip ADC operation. 
NOTE
Although this subsection describes how the command and result messages 
are formatted to communicate with the on-chip ADCs, nothing prevents the 
programmer from using a different format when communicating with an 
external device through the serial interface. Refer to Section 19.4.1.2.2, 
“Message Formats for External Device Operation.” Apart from the BN bit, 
the ADC command of a command message can be formatted to 
communicate to an arbitrary external device provided that the device returns 
an RFIFO header in the format expected by the eQADC. When the FIFO 
control unit receives return data message, it decodes the message tag field 
and stores the 16-bit data into the corresponding RFIFO.
Conversion Command Message Format for On-Chip ADC Operation
Figure 19-26 describes the command message format for conversion commands when interfacing with the 
on-chip ADCs. A conversion result is always returned for conversion commands and time stamp 
information can be optionally requested. The lower byte of conversion commands is always cleared to 0 
to distinguish it from configuration commands.
