AD7980
4-WIRE CS MODE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7980 is connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host that has an interrupt input,
and it is desired to keep CNV, which is used to sample the analog
input, independent of the signal used to select the data reading.
This requirement is particularly important in applications where
low jitter on CNV is desired.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 37, and the
corresponding timing is given in Figure 38.
With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects
the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this mode,
CNV must be held high during the conversion phase and the
subsequent data readback (if SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven
low). Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI can be used
to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but SDI
must be returned low before the minimum conversion time
elapses and then held low for the maximum conversion time to
guarantee the generation of the busy signal indicator. When the
conversion is complete, SDO goes from high impedance to low.

CONVERSION
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 AD7980 then enters the acquisition phase
and powers down. The data bits are 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 it has an acceptable hold time. After the optional
17th SCK falling edge or SDI going high, whichever is earlier,
the SDO returns to high impedance.
