NOTES
The timing is measured with a load of 50 pF on SCLK and DRDY. SCLK can be operated with a load capacitance of 50 pF maximum.
1
Sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of 5 V) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.
2
All digital outputs are timed with the load circuit below and, except for t
2
, are defined as the time required for an output to cross 0.8 V or 2 V, whichever occurs last.
3
The AD7721 is production tested with f
CLK
at 10 MHz for parallel mode operation and at 15 MHz for serial mode operation. However, it is guaranteed by character-
ization to operate with CLK frequencies down to 100 kHz.
4
t
2
is the time from RFS crossing 1.6 V to SCLK crossing 0.8 V.
5
t
8
and t
15
are derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit shown below. The measured number is then
extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the time quoted in the Timing Characteristics is the true bus
relinquish time of the part and, as such, is independent of external bus loading capacitance.
