PRODUCTION DATA
Although the ADC provides flexible SPI clock options and the wide IOVDD voltage range, the following guidelines help achieve full data sheet performance.
The ADC updates data on the SCLK rising edge for latching the data on the SCLK falling edge. The practical limit of the SCLK signal frequency is 22MHz using an IOVDD supply of 3.3V. This limit takes into consideration data propagation delay time after assertion on the SCLK rising edge. Reading 24-bit data at fDATA = 512kSPS with a 40-bit payload is possible assuming there are no other delays in the SDO/DRDY signal path.
The FIR1 filter output mode provides data at up to 2.048MSPS, requiring a 49.152MHz SCLK signal to read the 24-bit data. Reading data at an SCLK of 49.152MHz requires non-standard SPI clocking by latching the data on the same rising edge that the data updates. The ADC data hold time specification holds the old data briefly before updating the new data. Additional hold time is provided by delaying the SDO/DRDY signal by adding a discrete buffer leading to the external controller.
