CS MODE 4-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7946 is connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host, which has an interrupt input,
and it is desired to keep CNV, which is used to sample the
analog input, independent of the signal used to select the data
reading. This requirement is particularly important in
applications where low jitter on CNV is desired.
The connection diagram is shown in
Figure 39, and the
corresponding timing is given in
Figure 40.
With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion,
selects the
CS
mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this
mode, CNV must be held high during the conversion phase and
the subsequent data readback (if SDI and CNV are low, SDO is
driven low). Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI could
be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers,
but SDI must be returned low before the minimum conversion
time and held low until the maximum conversion time to
guarantee the generation of the BUSY signal indicator. When
the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high impedance to
low. With a pull-up on the SDO line, this transition can be used
as an interrupt signal to initiate the data readback controlled by
the digital host. The AD7946 then enters the acquisition phase
and powers down. The data bits are then clocked out, MSB first,
by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK
edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data,
a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading
rate, provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the optional
15
th
SCK falling edge or SDI going high, whichever is earlier, the
SDO returns to high impedance.
