Would that be better? Not really. There will be a relatively long delay between that conversion trigger and when the sample is read. So the data might be slightly less stale in that case, but still not particularly useful, e.g. if you are doing any kind of signal processing that expects equal time between all samples. On similar chips, like ad7944, we just documented that the first sample does not contain valid data and needs to be discarded. > >> >>> + * bits_per_word to ensure the minimum of SCLK cycles are used.

Another way to say it is that SPI offload reads data in complete words and not in separate 8-bit xfers (bits_per_word = realbits vs. bits_per_word = 8).
