Tool/software:
Hello,
I've just started to develop an application which uses ADS8584 to sample and convert 4 analog channels in parallel at a frequency of 10kHz. I am using the two signals CONVSTA and CONVSTB tied together (CONVST) in order to trigger the conversion. I then read the data by means of SPI SCK, MISO and CS. As stated in the datasheet the conversion takes an amount of time equal to tconv since the rising edge of CONVST and corresponding to the duration of the high level of the signal BUSY. After tconv I can read the data putting CS low and moving SPI SCK to start the SPI transfer.
The datasheet provides tconv times as function of oversampling bits, but the table shows only TYPICAL values and not MAXIMUM values. In order to be sure that all the 4 conversions have ended, I need the MAXIMUM values. I ask technical support if these values can be provided.
Alternatively, instead of waiting for tconv_max, is the synchronization with the falling edge of the BUSY signal the only option available?
Thanks
