CS MODE, 3-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR

This mode is usually used when a single AD7985 is connected

to an SPI-compatible digital host that has an interrupt input. It

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

The connection diagram is shown in Figure 28, and the corre-

sponding timing is given in Figure 29.

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

selects 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 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

readback controlled by the digital host. The AD7985 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

capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows

a faster reading rate, provided that it has an acceptable hold time.

impedance.

If multiple AD7985 devices are selected at the same time, the

SDO output pin handles this contention without damage or

induced latch-up. Meanwhile, it is recommended that this

contention be kept as short as possible to limit extra power

dissipation.
