If CS remains LOW longer than t
EOCtest
, the first rising
edge of SCK will occur and the conversion result is serially
shifted out of the SDO pin. The data output cycle begins
on this first rising edge of SCK and concludes after the
32nd rising edge. Data is shifted out the SDO pin on each
falling edge of SCK. The internally generated serial clock
is output to the SCK pin. This signal may be used to shift
the conversion result into external circuitry. EOC can be
latched on the first rising edge of SCK and the last bit of
the conversion result on the 32nd rising edge of SCK.
After the 32nd rising edge, SDO goes HIGH (EOC = 1),
SCK stays HIGH and a new conversion starts.
Typically, CS remains LOW during the data output state.
However, the data output state may be aborted by pulling
CS HIGH anytime between the first and 32nd rising edge
of SCK, see Figure 9. On the rising edge of CS, the device
aborts the data output state and immediately initiates a
new conversion. This is useful for systems not requiring
all 32 bits of output data, aborting an invalid conversion
cycle, or synchronizing the start of a conversion. Thirteen
serial input data bits are required in order to properly pro-
gram the speed/resolution and input channel. If the data
output sequence is aborted
prior to the 13th rising edge
of SCK, the new input data is ignored, and the previously
selected speed/resolution and channel are used for the next
conversion cycle.
If a new channel is being programmed,
the rising edge of
CS
must come after the 14th falling
edge of SCK in order to store the data input sequence.
