If PD_SCK is high for at least 60 us power down mode of the sensor is entered which in turn leads to a wrong measurement. Switch off interrupts during a PD_SCK high period and move query of DOUT to the latest point of time which is at the end of PD_SCK low period. This bug exists in the driver since it's initial addition. The more interrupts on the system the higher is the probability that it happens.
