Original question:

TLV571 Control Registers

TLV571: Operate TLV571 with /CS, /WR, and /RD all tied low? (Approximate ADC0820-N's "RD Mode")

Part Number: TLV571
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS7882, ADC0820-N, , ADS7886, ADS7040, ADS8371

Curious to know if this is a supported thing to do. Does tying /RD low satisfy the requirement of the "dummy read" necessary to auto-config the device for 3V operation?  Will the conversion result appear on the data pins after /CSTART if /RD is tied low the whole time?  Or must /RD be pulsed as in the timing diagrams?

I'm basically looking for a 3.3V device that can operate in a mode similar to the TI ADC0820-N's "RD Mode," wherein all other control signals can be tied (to appropriate levels) and one need only toggle the /RD signal to both initiate a conversion and receive the result.  The TI ADS7882 is a near miss, as it requires 5V, and I'd like to avoid having to find (or create) 5V someplace.

All thoughts / suggestions much appreciated!

Very best,
Aaron

    Hi Aaron,

    Welcome to our e2e forum!

    Unfortunately no, you can't just tie the /RD pin low on the TLV571, you have to actively control that line along with the /CSTART pin.  Do you have to have a parallel output converter?  You are jumping between 8 and 12-bits with the TLV571 and the ADS7882 so let me know what sort of resolution and speed you need and I'll see if we have something that suits your needs.

    Thanks, Tom!  Requirements are in line with the ADC0820-N:  8 bits, ~500ksps.  Mainly looking for a 3.3V answer to that part, if it exists.  Seems elusive!  Application depends on the 820-N's "RD mode," and I'm trying to minimize impact to the design while migrating away from 5V logic.  It may be time for a revolution, though.  Except for the very high speed pipelined parts, parallel's been in the rearview mirror for a while now, I know.  Though it comes with unnecessary (for me) extra bits, the '7882 is close, but if I still need the 5V for the analog half, I haven't made much progress.

    I am separately evaluating more invasive changes that would enable use of SPI parts, but wanted to investigate this angle also.

    Very best,

    Aaron

    Hi Aaron,

    EDIT - Sorry, bad selection guide on my part.  [You might be looking at a serial device then, we don't have that many parallel parts in our portfolio.   A couple parallel devices you might look are the ADS7886 (12-bit) and the ADS8371 (16-bit).  For a serial option, you can look at the ADS7040.]

    Serial devices are ADS7886 and ADS7040 - the ADS8371 is parallel, but it needs 5VA.
