In the 2-wire interface, three types of bit order are supported - byte-wise, bit-wise and word-wise.

Byte-wise: Each 14-bit sample is split across the 2 wires. Wires DA0, DB0, DC0 and DD0 carry the 6 LSB bits

D5-D0 and wires DA1, DB1, DC1 and DD1 carry the 6 MSB bits.

Bit-wise: Each 14-bit sample is split across the 2 wires. Wires DA0, DB0, DC0 and DD0 carry the 6 even bits

(D0,D2,D4..) and wires DA1, DB1, DC1 and DD1 carry the 6 odd bits (D1,D3,D5...).

Word-wise: In this case, all 14-bits of a sample are sent over a single wire. Successive samples are sent over

the 2 wires. For example sample N is sent on wires DA0, DB0, DC0 and DD0, while sample N+1 is sent over

wires DA1, DB1, DC1 and DD1. The frame clock frequency is 0.5x sampling frequency, with the rising edge

aligned with the start of each word.

By default after reset, the 14-bit ADC data is output serially with the MSB first (D11,D10,...D1,D0). The data can

be output LSB first also by programming the register bit <MSB_LSB_First>. In the 2-wire mode, the bit order in

each wire is flipped in the LSB first mode.

Two output data formats are supported – 2s complement (default after reset) and offset binary. They can be

selected using the serial interface register bit <DF>. In the event of an input voltage overdrive, the digital outputs

go to the appropriate full-scale level. For a positive overdrive, the output code is 0xFFF in offset binary output

format, and 0x7FF in 2s complement output format. For a negative input overdrive, the output code is 0x000 in

offset binary output format and 0x800 in 2s complement output format.

The default LVDS buffer current is 3.5 mA. With an external 100- Ω termination resistance, this develops

± 350-mV logic levels at the receiver. The LVDS buffer currents can also be programmed to 2.5 mA, 3.0 mA, and

4.5 mA using the register bits <LVDS CURR>. In addition, there exists a current double mode, where the LVDS

nominal current is doubled (register bits <CURR DOUBLE>, refer to Table 19 ).

An internal termination option is available (using the serial interface), by which the LVDS buffers are differentially

terminated inside the device. Five termination resistances are available – 166, 200, 250, 333, and 500 Ω

(nominal with ± 20% variation). Any combination of these terminations can be programmed; the effective

termination will be the parallel combination of the selected resistances. The terminations can be programmed

separately for the clock and data buffers (bits <TERM CLK> and <TERM DATA>, refer to Table 20 ).

The internal termination helps to absorb any reflections from the receiver end, improving the signal integrity. This

makes it possible to drive up to 10 pF of load capacitance, compared to only 5 pF without the internal

termination.Figure 79 and Figure 80 show the eye diagram with 5-pF and 10-pF load capacitors (connected from

each output pin to ground).

With 100- Ω internal and 100- Ω external termination, the voltage swing at the receiver end will be halved

(compared to no internal termination). The voltage swing can be restored by using the LVDS current double

mode (bits <CURR DOUBLE>, refer to Table 19 ).
