PRODUCTION DATA
A channel conversion is initiated when the CONVST signal transitions from low to high. The BUSY signal goes high and stays high to indicate an ongoing conversion. A data read cycle can be initiated after the BUSY signal goes low, indicating that the conversion is complete.
The ADS8686S can read the conversion results using the parallel data bus with standard CS, RD, and DB[7:0] signals. The CS and RD input signals are internally gated to enable the data lines, DB7 to DB0. These signals leave their high-impedance state when both CS and RD are logic low.
The rising edge of the CS input signal places the bus into tri-state, and the falling edge of the CS input signal takes the bus out of the high-impedance state. CS is the control signal that enables the data lines; this function allows multiple ADS8686S devices to share the same parallel data bus.
The number of required read operations depends on the device configuration. A minimum of four reads are required to read the conversion result for the simultaneously sampled A and B channels. If additional functions (such as CRC, status, and burst mode) are enabled, the number of required readbacks increases accordingly.
The RD pin reads data from the output conversion results register. Applying a sequence of RD pulses to the RD pin of the ADS8686S clocks the conversion results out from each channel onto the parallel bus, DB7 to DB0. The first two RD pulses after BUSY goes low and CS pulled low clocks out the MSB followed by the LSB of the conversion result from channel Ax. The next two RD pulses update the bus with the channel Bx conversion result. Figure 7-26 shows the parallel data read timing diagram.
