REGISTERS

The AD7324 has three programmable registers, the control register, the sequence register, and the range register. These registers are write-

only registers.

ADDRESSING REGISTERS

A serial transfer on the AD7324 consists of 16 SCLK cycles. The three MSBs on the DIN line during the 16 SCLK transfer are decoded to

determine which register is addressed. The three MSBs consist of the write bit, Register Select 1 bit, and Register Select 2 bit. The register

select bits are used to determine which of the three on-board registers is selected. The write bit determines if the data on the DIN line

following the register select bits loads into the addressed register. If the write bit is 1, the bits load into the register addressed by the

register select bits. If the write bit is 0, the data on the DIN line does not load into any register.
