The ADS7819 will begin tracking the input signal at the end
of the conversion. Allowing 1.25µs between convert com-
mands assures accurate acquisition of a new signal.
BASIC OPERATION
Figure 1 shows a basic circuit to operate the ADS7819.
Taking R/C (pin 23) LOW for 40ns will initiate a conver-
sion. BUSY (pin 25) will go LOW and stay LOW until the
conversion is completed and the output registers are up-
dated. Data will be output in Binary Two’s Complement
with the MSB on D11 (pin 6). BUSY going HIGH can be
used to latch the data. All convert commands will be ignored
while BUSY is LOW.
STARTING A CONVERSION
The combination of CS (pin 24) and R/C (pin 23) LOW for
a minimum of 40ns puts the sample/hold of the ADS7819 in
the hold state and starts a conversion. BUSY (pin 25) will go
LOW and stay LOW until the conversion is completed and
the internal output register has been updated. All new
convert commands during BUSY LOW will be ignored.
