PRODUCTION DATA.
The single-SDO mode is designed to support operation with a wide variety of hosts that can support only one master in, slave out (MISO) signal for the SPI interface. The maximum throughput is limited based on the SCLK frequency supported by the host.
The single-SDO mode is enabled by programming the SDO_MODE bit in the SDO_CTRL register to logic high. In this mode, the SDO_A pin outputs the conversion results for ADC_A followed by ADC_B. Figure 30 shows a detailed timing diagram for this mode.
A CS rising edge forces SDO_x to tri-state. CS also samples the input signal and causes the device to enter conversion phase. Conversion is done with the internal clock. CS and SCLK must remain high for a minimum time of tCONV. A CS falling edge brings the serial data bus out of tri-state and the device outputs the MSB of the ADC_A conversion result. The lower data bits are output on the subsequent SCLK falling edges. After ADC_A, the device outputs the ADC_B conversion result starting from 17th falling edge of SCLK. SDO_A drives the output line to a zero logic level after 32nd falling edge of SCLK. SDO_A remains low until the CS signal is pulled high. SDO_B is driven low when the SPI interface is active in single-SDO mode.
