Asynchronous interrupt mode is the preferred mode for the operation of a single device. After the ADCs are enabled and converting, the DRDY pin can be used as an interrupt for the master to read the conversion data. The DRDY indication is output by the ADC at the data rate programmed into the device set by the modulator clock (fMOD) and the OSR. Because the DRDY pin can be used as an interrupt, the device and the master do not require a synchronous master clock.
The SPI uses five interface signals: CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT, and DRDY in asynchronous interrupt mode. Use the four interface lines, CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT to read conversion data, read and write registers, and send commands to the ADS131A0x. Use the DRDY output as a status signal to indicate when new conversion data are ready. Figure 60 shows typical device connections for the ADS131A0x to a host microprocessor or digital signal processor (DSP) in asynchronous interrupt mode.
