Figure 43. Example of Using the ADC Sequencer
ADC SEQUENCER
The AD7292 provides an ADC sequencer, which enables the
selection of a preprogrammable sequence of channels for con-
version. Figure 43 shows the operation of the ADC sequencer.
To initiate a write to the ADC sequence register (Address 0x03),
point to it in the address pointer register with the write bit set
and the read bit cleared. The next two bytes specify the sequence
of channels that the ADC converts on (see Table 16). The ADC
data register (Address 0x01) is then pointed to and the conver-
sion command is issued. Note that the read bit is set when issuing
the conversion command.
When the ADC sequencer is used, ADC conversions are trig-
gered based on the contents of the ADC sequence register; the
address pointer reverts to its previous value—in this example,
the ADC data register—allowing the conversion results to be
read back.
After the first ADC conversion is complete, the first result is read
back, which requires 16 serial clocks. The first 10 bits contain
the ADC result, the next four bits are the channel identifier, and
the last two bits are alert bits (see Table 43). On the last falling
edge of the clock, the next ADC conversion begins.
The AD7292 continues converting on the channels specified by
the ADC sequence register. On completing the first sequence of
conversions, the sequencer loops back and begins the sequence
again until
CS
is taken high. The AD7292 is ready to accept a new
address pointer after
CS
is taken low. It is recommended that the
serial clock be kept low during the ADC conversions to ensure
that there is no disturbance of the results.
