On-The-Fly Mode

There is a latency of one cycle when switching channels using the register access, just as in manual mode. The newly selected channel data are available two cycles after selecting the desired channel. The ADS816x supports on-the-fly switching of the analog input channels of the multiplexer. Enable this mode by programming the SEQ_MODE[1:0] bits to 01b in the DEVICE_CFG register. When enabled, the analog input channel for the next conversion is determined by the first five bits sent over SDI. The desired analog input channel is selected by setting the MSB to 1 and the following four bits as the channel ID. If the MSB is 0 then the SDI bitstream is decoded as a normal frame on the rising edge of CS. Table 6-3 lists the channel selection commands for this mode.

Table 6-3 On-the-Fly Mode Channel Selection Commands
SDI BITS [15:11] SDI BITS [10:0] DESCRIPTION
1 0000 Don't care Select analog input 0
1 0001 Don't care Select analog input 1
1 0010 Don't care Select analog input 2
1 0011 Don't care Select analog input 3
1 0100 Don't care Select analog input 4
1 0101 Don't care Select analog input 5
1 0110 Don't care Select analog input 6
1 0111 Don't care Select analog input 7
1 1000 to 1 1111 Don't care Error bit is set; select analog input 0

To set the device in on-the-fly mode, configure EN_ON_THE_FLY to 1b in the ON_THE_FLY_CFG register as shown in Figure 6-13 using a 3-byte register access. When in this mode, use the 16-bit data transfer to reduce the required clock speed for operating at full throughput.
