3) Pull
CS
high at or after the 13th rising clock edge. If
CS
remains low, the two sub-bits and trailing zeros
are clocked out after the LSB.
4) With
CS
= high, wait the minimum specified time, t
CS
,
before initiating a new conversion by pulling
CS
low.
If a conversion is aborted by pulling
CS
high before
the conversion completes, wait the minimum acquisi-
tion time, t
ACQ
, before starting a new conversion.
CS
must be held low until all data bits are clocked out.
Data can be output in 2 bytes or continuously, as shown
in Figure 8. The bytes contain the result of the conversion
padded with three leading zeros, 2 sub-bits, and trailing
zeros if SCLK is still active with CS kept low.
SPI and Microwire
When using SPI or QSPI, set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0.
Conversion begins with a
CS
falling edge. DOUT goes
low, indicating a conversion is in progress. Two con-
secutive 1-byte reads are required to get the full 10+2
bits from the ADC. DOUT output data transitions on
SCLK’s rising edge and is clocked into the µP on the
following rising edge.
The first byte contains 3 leading zeros, and 5 bits of
conversion result. The second byte contains the remain-
ing 5 bits, 2 sub-bits, and 1 trailing zero. See Figure 11
for connections and Figure 12 for timing.
QSPI
Unlike SPI, which requires two 1-byte reads to acquire
the 10 bits of data from the ADC, QSPI allows the mini-
mum number of clock cycles necessary to clock in the
data. The MAX1084/MAX1085 require 13 clock cycles
from the µP to clock out the 10 bits of data. Additional
clock cycles clock out the 2 sub-bits followed by trailing
zeros. Figure 13 shows a transfer using CPOL = 0 and
CPHA = 1. The result of conversion contains two zeros
followed by the 10 bits of data in MSB-first format.
Layout and Grounding
For best performance, use PC boards. Wire-wrap
boards are not recommended. Board layout should
ensure that digital and analog signal lines are separat-
ed from each other. Do not run analog and digital
(especially clock) lines parallel to one another, or digital
lines underneath the ADC package.
