AD7262
SERIAL INTERFACE
Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the detailed timing diagrams for the
serial interfacing of the AD7262/AD7262-5. The serial clock
provides the conversion clock and controls the transfer of
information from the AD7262/AD7262-5 after the conversion.
The AD7262/AD7262-5 has two output pins corresponding to
each ADC. Data can be read from the AD7262/AD7262-5 using
both DOUTA and DOUTB. Alternatively, a single output pin of the
user’s choice can be used. The SCLK input signal provides the
clock source for the serial interface.
The falling edge of CS puts the track-and-hold into hold mode,
at which point the analog input is sampled. The conversion is
also initiated at this point and requires a minimum of 19 SCLKs
to complete. The DOUTx lines remain in three-state while the
conversion is taking place. On the 19th SCLK falling edge, the
AD7262/AD7262-5 return to track mode and the DOUTA and
DOUTB lines are enabled. The data stream consists of 12 bits of
data, MSB first.
The MSB of the conversion result is clocked out on the 19th
SCLK falling edge to be read by the microcontroller or DSP on
either the subsequent SCLK falling edge (20th falling edge) or
the 20th SCLK rising edge. The choice of whether to read on the
rising or falling SCLK edge depends on the SCLK frequency
being used. When the maximum SCLK frequency of 40 MHz is
used with a VDRIVE voltage of 5 V, the maximum specified access
time (t4) is 23 ns, resulting in 2 ns of setup time, which may not
be sufficient for most DSPs or microcontrollers. Under these
conditions, it is recommended to use the rising SCLK edge to
read the data. In this case, the MSB of the conversion result is
clocked out on the 19th SCLK falling edge to be read on the 20th
SCLK rising edge, as shown in Figure 33. The remaining data is
then clocked out by subsequent SCLK falling edges. When using
a 40 MHz SCLK frequency, the 20th falling clock edge on the
serial clock clocks out the second data bit, which is provided for
reading on the 21st SCLK rising edge. The remainder of the 12-bit
result follows, with the final bit in the data transfer being valid
on the 31st rising edge. The LSB is provided on the 30th falling
clock edge.
An alternative to reading on the rising SCLK edge is to use a
slower SCLK frequency. If a slower SCLK frequency is used, for
example 32 MHz with the AD7262, this enables reading on the
subsequent falling SCLK edge after the data has been clocked out,
as illustrated in Figure 35. A throughput rate of 1 MSPS can still
be achieved for the AD7262 when a 32 MHz SCLK frequency is
used. The remaining data is then clocked out by subsequent
SCLK falling edges. When using a 32 MHz or less SCLK frequency
with the AD7262 or when using the AD7262-5, the 20th falling
clock edge on the serial clock has the MSB provided for reading
and also clocks out the second data bit. The remainder of the
12-bit result follows, with the final bit in the data transfer being
valid on the 31st falling edge. The LSB is provided on the 30th
falling clock edge.
On the rising edge of CS, DOUTA and DOUTB go back into three-
state. If CS is not brought high after 31 SCLKs but is instead
held low for an additional 14 SCLK cycles, thedata fromADC B is
output on DOUTA after the ADC A result. Likewise, the data
from ADC A is output on DOUTB after the ADC B result. This is
illustrated in Figure 34, which shows the DOUTA example. In this
case, the DOUT line in use goes back into three-state on the 47th
SCLK falling edge or the rising edge of CS, whichever occurs first.
If the falling edge of SCLK coincides with the falling edge of CS,
the falling edge of SCLK is not acknowledged by the AD7262
and the next falling edge of SCLK is the first one registered after
the falling edge of CS.
