External DATACLK Active After the Conversion
and During the Next Conversion
Figure 8 shows a method that is a hybrid of the two previous
approaches. This method works very well for microcontrollers
that do serial transfers 8 bits at a time and for slower
microcontrollers. For example, if the fastest serial clock that
the microcontroller can produce is 1µs, the approach shown
in Figure 6 would result in a diminished throughput (26kHz
maximum conversion rate). The method described in Figure
7 could not be used without risk of affecting the conversion
result (the clock would have to be active after time t
2
). The
approach in Figure 8 results in an improved throughput rate
(33kHz maximum with a 1µs clock) and DATACLK is not
active after time t
2
.
COMPATIBILITY WITH THE ADS7812
The only difference between the ADS7812 and the ADS7813
is in the internal control logic and the digital interface. Since
the ADS7812 is a 12-bit converter, the internal shift register
is 12 bits wide. In addition, only 12-bit decisions are made
during the conversion. Thus, the ADS7812’s conversion
time is approximately 75% of the ADS7813’s.
In the internal DATACLK mode, the ADS7812 produces 12
DATACLK periods during the conversion instead of the
ADS7813’s 16 (see Figure 5). In the external DATACLK
mode, the ADS7812 can accept 16 clock periods on
DATACLK. At the start of the 13th clock cycle, the DATA
output will go LOW and remain LOW. Thus, Figures 6, 7,
8, and the associated times in Table II can also be used for
the ADS7812, but the last four bits of the conversion result
will be zero.
CHIP SELECT (CS)
The CS input allows the digital outputs of the ADS7813 to
be disabled and gates the external DATACLK signal when
EXT/INT is HIGH. See Figure 9 for the enable and disable
time associated with CS and Figure 3 for a block diagram of
the ADS7813’s logic. The digital outputs can be disabled at
any time.
Note that a conversion is initiated on the falling edge of
CONV even if CS is HIGH. If the EXT/INT input is LOW
(internal DATACLK) and CS is HIGH during the entire
conversion, the previous conversion result will be lost (the
serial transmission occurs but DATA and DATACLK are
disabled).

ANALOG INPUT
The ADS7813 offers a number of input ranges. This is
accomplished by connecting the three input resistors to
either the analog input (V
IN
), to ground (GND), or to the
2.5V reference buffer output (BUF). Table I shows the input
ranges that are typically used in most data acquisition
applications. These ranges are all specified to meet the
specifications given in the Specifications table. Table IV
contains a complete list of ideal input ranges, associated
input connections, and comments regarding the range.
