7.4.2.6 Burst Sequencer

The ADS8686S offers an additional feature for burst mode capture. This feature is applicable only if the sequencer feature is enabled.

With the burst feature enabled, one CONVST pulse initiates conversion of all channels configured in the sequencer. Thus, for a sequencer configured for four channel pairs, only one CONVST pulse must be provided in BURST with the sequencer configuration instead of four CONVST pulses in the sequencer only configuration.

When configured, the burst sequence is initiated at the rising edge of CONVST. The BUSY pin goes high and remains high until all conversions in the sequence are complete. If OSR mode is enabled, the sequencer captures the required samples for a given channel pair before moving to the next channel pair in sequencer. The conversion results are available for readback after the BUSY pin goes low.

The number of data reads required in the burst sequence are dependent on the length of the sequence configured.

The conversion results are presented on the data bus (parallel, byte, or serial) in the same order as the programmed sequence.

The throughput rate of the ADS8686S is limited in burst mode because each channel pair requires an acquisition, conversion, and readback time. Equation 1 estimates the time taken to complete a sequence with the number of channel pairs, N.

Equation 1. tBURST = (tCONV + 50 ns) + (N – 1) (tACQ + tCONV) + N(tRB)

where

  • tCONV is the typical conversion time
  • tACQ is the typical acquisition time
  • tRB is the time required to read back the conversion results in either serial 1-wire, serial 2-wire, parallel byte, or parallel mode
