CS MODE, 3-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR

This mode is usually used when a single AD7986 is connected

to an SPI-compatible digital host having an interrupt input.

It is only available in normal conversion mode (TURBO = low).

The connection diagram is shown in Figure 27, and the

corresponding timing is given in Figure 28.

With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion,

selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. SDO

is maintained in high impedance until the completion of the

conversion irrespective of the state of CNV. Prior to the minimum

conversion time, CNV can be used to select other SPI devices,

such as analog multiplexers, but CNV must be returned low

before the minimum conversion time elapses and then held low

for the maximum possible conversion time to guarantee the

generation of the busy signal indicator.

When the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high imped-

ance to low impedance. With a pull-up on the SDO line, this

transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate the data

reading controlled by the digital host. The AD7986 then enters

the acquisition phase and powers down. The data bits are then

clocked out, MSB first, by subsequent SCK falling edges. The

data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can

be used to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling

edge allows a faster reading rate, provided that it has an acceptable

to high impedance.

If multiple AD7986 devices are selected at the same time, the

SDO output pin handles this contention without damage or

induced latch-up. Meanwhile, it is recommended to keep this

contention as short as possible to limit extra power dissipation.
