CHAIN MODE WITH BUSY INDICATOR

This mode can also be used to daisy-chain multiple AD7986

devices on a 3-wire serial interface while providing a busy

indicator. This feature is useful for reducing component count

and wiring connections, for example, 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 three AD7986 devices is

shown in Figure 35, and the corresponding timing is given in

Figure 36.

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

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

chain mode, and enables the busy indicator feature. In this

mode, CNV is held high during the conversion phase and the

subsequent data readback. When all ADCs in the chain have

completed their conversions, the SDO pin of the ADC closest to

the digital host (see the AD7986 ADC labeled C in Figure 35) is

driven high. This transition on SDO can be used as a busy indicator

to trigger the data readback controlled by the digital host. The

AD7986 then enters the acquisition phase and powers down.

The data bits stored in the internal shift register are clocked out,

MSB first, 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 18 × N + 1 clocks are required to read back the N ADCs.

Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital

host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate and

consequently more AD7986 devices in the chain, provided that

the digital host has an acceptable hold time.
