ADS7251: Does TD_CKD0 start from SCLK positive edge or negative edge?

Part Number: ADS7251

We have a question on ADC7251 Timing characteristics, especially on “TD_CKD0 timing parameter in page 8.

It seems that you had already received a similar question, but let us confirm it.

 

ADC7x51 specifications document describes the serial interface timing in chapter 6.8.

According from the timing table & figure 1, SDO-A/B data should output from SCLK with the delay parameter of “TD_CKD0.

This timing parameter looks to be defined from SCLK positive edge, but is it possible to be defined from SCLK negative edge?

The maximum of “TD_CKD0 is characterized as 15ns, but our timing observation shows TD_CKD0=21.1ns from SCLK positive edge in RT condition.

If it was defined from negative edge, it looks make sense.

 

To summarize our question simply, is TD_CKD0 defined from SCLK positive edge?

Or does ADC7251 output SDOA/B with negative SCLK edge?
