DIGITAL INTERFACE
The serial interface is designed to accommodate the latest high-speed processors with an SCLK frequency of up
to 40MHz (VA = VBD = 5.0V). Each cycle starts with the falling edge of FS/CS. The internal data register
content, which is made available to the output register at the end of conversion, is presented on the SDO output
pin on the falling edge of FS/CS. The first bit is the most significant bit (MSB). The output data bits are valid on
the falling edge of SCLK with the t
D2
delay (see the Timing Characteristics)so that the host processor can read
the data on the falling edge. Serial data input is also read on the falling edge of SCLK.
The complete serial I/O cycle starts after the falling edge of FS/CS and ends 16 falling edges of SCLK later (see
NOTE). The serial interface works with CPOL = '1', CPHA = '0'. This setting means the falling edge of FS/CS
may fall while SCLK is high. The same timing relaxation applies to the rising edge of FS/CS where SCLK may be
high or low as long as the last SCLK falling edge happens before the rising edge of FS/CS.
NOTE
There are cases where a cycle can be anywhere from 4 SCLKs up to 24 SCLKs,
depending on the read mode combination. See Table 4 for details.
Internal Register
The internal register consists of two parts: four bits for the Command register (CMR) and 12 bits for the
Configuration register (CFR).

(1) The first four bits from SDO after the falling edge of FS/CS are the four MSBs from the previous conversion result. The next 12 bits from
SDO are the contents of the CFR.
(2) These commands apply only to the ADS8332; they are reserved (not availble) for the ADS8331.
