The serial interface can be reset by writing a series of 1s on the
DIN input. If a Logic 1 is written to the AD7788/AD7789 for
at least 32 serial clock cycles, the serial interface is reset. This
ensures that the interface can be reset to a known state if the
interface gets lost due to a software error or a glitch in the
system. Reset returns the interface to the state in which it is
expecting a write to the communications register. This oper-
ation resets the contents of all registers to their power-on values.
The AD7788/AD7789 can be configured to continuously
convert or to perform a single conversion. See Figure 11
through Figure 13.
Single Conversion Mode
In single-conversion mode, the AD7788/AD7789 are placed in
power-down mode between conversions. When a single conver-
sion is initiated by setting MD1 to 1 and MD0 to 0 in the mode
register, the AD7788/AD7789 power up, perform a single con-
version, and then return to power-down mode. The devices
require 1 ms to power up and settle. The AD7788/AD7789
then perform a conversion, requiring a time period of
2 × t
ADC
. DOUT/
RDY
goes low to indicate the completion of a
conversion.
When the data-word has been read from the data register,
DOUT/
RDY
goes high. If
CS
is low, DOUT/
RDY
remains high
until another conversion is initiated and completed. The data
register can be read several times, if required, even when
DOUT/
RDY
has gone high.
Continuous Conversion Mode
This is the default power-up mode. The AD7788/AD7789
continuously convert, the
RDY
pin in the status register going
low each time a conversion is complete. If
CS
is low, the
DOUT/
RDY
line also goes low when a conversion is complete.
To read a conversion, the user can write to the communications
register, indicating that the next operation is a read of the data
register. The digital conversion is placed on the DOUT/
RDY
pin as soon as SCLK pulses are applied to the ADC. DOUT/
RDY
returns high when the conversion is read. The user can
read this register additional times, if required. However, the
user must ensure that the data register is not being accessed
at the completion of the next conversion or else the new
conversion word is lost.
