CONVERSION CONTROL
Figure 23 shows the detailed timing diagrams of the conversion
process. The AD7654 is controlled by the signal
CNVST
, which
initiates conversion. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted or
aborted, even by the power-down input, PD, until the conversion is
complete. The
CNVST
signal operates independently of the
CS
and
RD
signals.

Figure 23. Basic Conversion Timing
Although
CNVST
is a digital signal, it should be designed with
special care with fast, clean edges and levels, and with minimum
overshoot and undershoot or ringing.
For applications where the SNR is critical, the
CNVST
signal
should have very low jitter. Some solutions to achieve this are to
use a dedicated oscillator for
CNVST
generation or, at least, to
clock it with a high frequency, low jitter clock, as shown in
Figure 19.
In impulse mode, conversions can be automatically initiated. If
CNVST
is held low when BUSY is low, the AD7654 controls the
acquisition phase and automatically initiates a new conversion.
By keeping
CNVST
low, the AD7654 keeps the conversion
process running by itself. Note that the analog input has to be
settled when BUSY goes low. Also, at power-up,
CNVST
should
be brought low once to initiate the conversion process. In this
mode, the AD7654 may sometimes run slightly faster than the
guaranteed limits of 444 kSPS in impulse mode. This feature
does not exist in normal mode.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7654 has a versatile digital interface; it can be interfaced
with the host system by using either a serial or parallel interface.
The serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel data bus. The
AD7654 digital interface accommodates either 3 V or 5 V logic
by simply connecting the OVDD supply pin of the AD7654 to
the host system interface digital supply.
The two signals
CS
and
RD
control the interface. When at least
one of these signals is high, the interface outputs are in high
impedance. Usually,
CS
allows the selection of each AD7654 in
multicircuit applications and is held low in a single AD7654
design.
RD
is generally used to enable the conversion result on
the data bus. In parallel mode, signal A/
B
allows the choice of
reading either the output of Channel A or Channel B, whereas
in serial mode, signal A/
B
controls which channel is output
first.
Figure 24 details the timing when using the RESET input. Note
the current conversion, if any, is aborted and the data bus is
high impedance while RESET is high.

PARALLEL INTERFACE
The AD7654 is configured to use the parallel interface when
SER/
PAR
is held low.
Master Parallel Interface
Data can be read continuously by tying
CS
and
RD
low, thus
requiring minimal microprocessor connections. However, in
this mode, the data bus is always driven and cannot be used in
shared bus applications (unless the device is held in RESET).
Figure 25 details the timing for this mode.
