CHAIN MODE, NO BUSY INDICATOR

This mode can be used to daisy chain multiple AD7980s on a 3-

wire serial interface. This feature is useful for reducing

component count and wiring connections, e.g., in isolated

multiconverter applications or for systems with a limited

interfacing capacity. Data readback is analogous to clocking a

shift register.

A connection diagram example using two AD7980s is shown in

Figure 23 and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 24.

When SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low. With SCK low,

a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the chain

mode, and disables the BUSY indicator. In this mode, CNV is

held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data

readback. When the conversion is complete, the MSB is output

onto SDO and the AD7980 enters the acquisition phase and

powers down. The remaining data bits stored in the internal

shift register are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges.

For each ADC, SDI feeds the input of the internal shift register

and is clocked by the SCK falling edge. Each ADC in the chain

outputs its data MSB first, and 16 × N clocks are required to

readback the N ADCs. 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 will allow a faster

reading rate and, consequently more AD7980s in the chain,

provided the digital host has an acceptable hold time. The

maximum conversion rate may be reduced due to the total

readback time.
