ADDRESS BYTE
The address byte is the first byte received following the
START condition from the master device. The first five bits
(MSBs) of the slave address are factory pre-set to 10010.
The next two bits of the address byte are the device select
bits, A1 and A0. Input pins (A1-A0) on the ADS7823 deter-
mine these two bits of the device address for a particular
ADS7823. A maximum of four devices with the same pre-set
code can therefore be connected on the same bus at one
time.
The A1-A0 Address Inputs can be connected to V
DD
or digital
ground. The device address is set by the state of these pins
upon power-up of the ADS7823.
The last bit of the address byte (R/W
) defines the operation
to be performed. When set to a “1” a read operation is
selected; when set to a “0” a write operation is selected.
Following the START condition the ADS7823 monitors the
SDA bus, checking the device type identifier being transmit-
ted. Upon receiving the 10010 code, the appropriate device
select bits, and the R/W
bit, the slave device outputs an
acknowledge signal on the SDA line.
The ADS7823 operating mode is determined by a command
byte.
The ADS7823 command byte simply consists of three zeros
in the most significant bits, while the remaining 5 bits are
don’t cares.
INITIATING CONVERSION
Provided the master has write-addressed it, the ADS7823
turns on the A/D converter section and begins conversions
when it receives bit 5 of the command byte shown in the
Command Byte. If the command byte is correct, the ADS7823
will return an ACK condition.
The converter will ignore any wrong command byte (that is,
setting any of the top three MSBs to 1), remain in the A/D
converter power-down mode, and reset the internal 4-word
stack.
The ADS7823 will ignore a second valid command byte if two
valid commands are issued consecutively. The ADS7823 will
respond with a not-acknowledge, and will go to the A/D con-
verter power-down mode after the responded not-acknowledge.
COMMAND BYTE
FIGURE 3. Typical Read Sequence in F/S Mode.
NOTES: (A) Failure for master to send read-addressing byte—setting R/W flag to “1”—will result in internal clock remaining ON, increasing power consumption.
(B) Use repeated START to secure bus operation and loop back to the stage of write-addressing for next conversion.
