ADS8166: How to actually read conversion data from ADS8166?

Part Number: ADS8166

Dear Support, I went through all the datasheet pages, learned all the part's commands and modes, I know how to set a control register and how to read it. But the only one MAIN question after all remains very unclear [for Me]: How to actually read conversion data from ADS8166? What command should be sent by SDI to ADS8166 in order to read conversion data? Do you have C code example for that or just clear explanation?

Andrew Gorbenko.

  • Hello Andrew,

    Thank you for your post and welcome to our forum!

    Reading data does not require an SPI command. Simply send NOP ("no-operation") on DIN for as many clocks as it takes to read the complete output data frame. This device supports single-SDO, dual-SDO, and a source-synchronous protocol.

    We do not have any available source code to share for this device. 

    Best regards,
