AD7691
CS MODE, 4-WIRE WITHOUT BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when multiple AD7691 devices are
connected to an SPI-compatible digital host.
A connection diagram example using two AD7691devices is
shown in Figure 39, and the corresponding timing is given in
Figure 40.
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 high before the minimum conversion
time elapses and then held high for the maximum possible
conversion time to avoid the generation of the busy signal
indicator. When the conversion is complete, the AD7691 enters
the acquisition phase and powers down. Each ADC result can
be read by bringing its SDI input low, which consequently
outputs the MSB onto SDO. The remaining data bits are clocked
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 18th SCK
falling edge, or when SDI goes high, whichever occurs first, SDO
returns to high impedance and another AD7691 is read.
