Single Conversion Mode

In single conversion mode, the AD7796/AD7797 are placed in

shutdown mode between conversions. When a single conver-

sion is initiated by setting MD2, MD1, and MD0 in the mode

performs a single conversion, and then returns to shutdown

mode. The on-chip oscillator requires 1 ms to power-up. A

conversion requires a time period of 2 × tADC. DOUT/RDY goes

low to indicate the completion of a conversion. When the data-

word has been read from the data register, DOUT/RDY goes

high. If CS is low, DOUT/RDY remains high until another

conversion is initiated and completed. The data register can be

read several times, if required, even when DOUT/RDY has

gone high.

Continuous Conversion Mode

This is the default power-up mode. The AD7796/AD7797

continuously convert, and the RDY pin in the status register

goes low each time a conversion is complete. If CS is low, the

DOUT/RDY line also goes low when a conversion is complete.

To read a conversion, the user can write to the communication

pin as soon as SCLK pulses are applied to the ADC. DOUT/RDY

returns high when the conversion is read. The user can read this

ensure that the data register is not being accessed at the completion

of the next conversion, or the new conversion word is lost.
