The DCLK pin is the frame-sync port bit-clock output signal that shifts out conversion data from the DOUTx pins. Data are updated on the falling DCLK edge and are read on the rising DCLK edge.
The DCLK frequency is derived from the clock input signal by a programmable divider. See the Clock Operation section for details of the CLK and DCLK dividers. The DCLK signal frequency must be sufficient to transmit the data in one conversion period, otherwise data are lost. Equation 22 shows how to calculate the minimum DCLK frequency.
where:
For example, with fDATA = 200kSPS, TDM ratio = 2 (four data lanes), and 40-bit data packet, the minimum DCLK frequency = 200kHz · 2 · 40 = 16MHz. DCLK can be higher than the required minimum in which case the extra bits occurring after the data packet bits are ignored.
When operating devices in daisy-chain mode, the TDM ratio in the fDCLK equation is multiplied by the number of devices in the chain.
Table 7-20 shows additional examples of CLK and DCLK frequencies. Use the DCLK and CLK dividers to provide the required ADC and DCLK clock frequencies based on the speed mode, data rate, TDM factor and packet size.
