The ADS7806 will begin tracking the input signal at the end
of the conversion. Allowing 25µs between convert com-
mands assures accurate acquisition of a new signal. Refer to
Tables III and IV for a summary of CS, R/C, and BUSY
states and Figures 2 through 6 for timing diagrams.
CS and R/C are internally OR’d and level triggered. There
is not a requirement which input goes LOW first when
initiating a conversion. If, however, it is critical that CS or
R/C initiates conversion ‘n’, be sure the less critical input is
LOW at least 10ns prior to the initiating input. If EXT/INT
(pin 8) is LOW when initiating conversion ‘n’, serial data
from conversion ‘n-1’ will be output on SDATA (pin 19)
following the start of conversion ‘n’. See Internal Data
Clock in the Reading Data section.

Initiates conversion “n”. Databus remains
in Hi-Z state.
To reduce the number of control pins, CS can be tied LOW
using R/C to control the read and convert modes. This will
have no effect when using the internal data clock in the serial
output mode. However, the parallel output and the serial
output (only when using an external data clock) will be
affected whenever R/C goes HIGH. Refer to the Reading
Data section.

READING DATA
The ADS7806 outputs serial or parallel data in Straight
Binary or Binary Two’s Complement data output format. If
SB/BTC (pin 7) is HIGH, the output will be in SB format,
and if LOW, the output will be in BTC format. Refer to
Table V for ideal output codes.
New conversion initiated without acquisition
of a new signal. Data will be invalid. CS and/or
R/C must be HIGH when BUSY goes HIGH.

New convert commands ignored. Conversion

NOTE: (1) See Figures 2 and 3 for constraints on data valid from
conversion “n-1”.
The parallel output can be read without affecting the internal
output registers; however, reading the data through the serial
