SERIAL INTERFACE

The AD7655 is configured to use the serial interface when the

SER/PAR isheldhigh. The AD7655 outputs32 bitsof data, MSB

first, on the SDOUT pin. The order of the channels being output

is also controlled by A/B. When high, Channel Aisoutput first;

when low, Channel B is output first. This data is synchronized

with the 32 clock pulses provided on the SCLK pin.

MASTER SERIAL INTERFACE

Internal Clock

The AD7655 is configured to generate and provide the serial

data clock SCLK when the EXT/INT pin is held low. The

AD7655 also generates a SYNC signal to indicate to the host

when the serial data is valid. The serial clock SCLK and the

SYNC signal can be inverted, if desired, using the INVSCLK

and INVSYNC inputs, respectively. The output data is valid on

both the rising and falling edge of the data clock. In this mode,

the D7/RDC/SDIN input is used to select between reading after

conversion (RDC = low) or reading previous conversion results

during conversion (RDC = high). Figure 29 and Figure 30 show

the detailed timing diagrams of these two modes.

Usually, because the AD7655 is used with a fast throughput, the

master read during convert mode is the most recommended

serial mode when it can be used. In this mode, the serial clock

and data toggle at appropriate instants, which minimizes

potential feed through between digital activity and the critical

conversion decisions. The SYNC signal goes low after the LSB

of each channel has been output. Note that in this mode, the

SCLK period changes because the LSBs require more time to

settle, and the SCLK is derived from the SAR conversion clock.

Note that in master read after convert mode, unlike in other

modes, the BUSY signal returns low after the 32 bits of data are

pulsed out and not at the end of the conversion phase, which

results in a longer BUSY width. One advantage of using this

mode is that it can accommodate slow digital hosts because the

serial clock can be slowed down by using the DIVSCLK[1:0]

inputs. Refer to Table 4 for the timing details.
