ADC12020: ADC12020

Hi Tahir

I haven't found any specific code for data capture from this ADC into a microcontroller.

The task is fairly straightforward. Refer to the ADC12020 datasheet. Specifically the AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS table on page 8 and the Timing Diagram on page 10.

The recommended approach would be to connect a copy of the ADC12020 input CLK signal to one of the micro-controller inputs. The micro-controller should read the 12 bit data input port every time the CLK signal transitions from High to Low. To work at high speed this will need to be either a dedicated hardware read request function, or an interrupt input.

The maximum supported sample rate will depend on the capabilities of the micro-controller being used.

The ADC CLK signal should be provided by a low jitter clock source at the desired sampling frequency.

Best regards,
