ADS8586S: Is it possible to operate ADS8586S in continuous mode?

HI Jhansi,

Can you please clarify what "continuous mode" you want? ADS8586S' conversion is initiated and controlled by the signal on CONVSTA/B pins, hence this ADC can work continuously with continuous CONVSTA/B signals.

Hi Dale,

Thank you for the reply.

As you mentioned that conversion will be controlled by CONVSTA/B.

1.Here ,I have pull CONVSTA/B to low initially and then to high to start the conversion(from timing diagram). Is my understanding is correct?

If so, after reading data (parallel mode) from all the channels will the next conversion starts automatically or again I need to toggle the CONVST pins like mentioned in point 1.

Can you please clarify on it.

HI Jhansi,

1. Yes, your understanding is correct.

2. You will have to toggle it again.

Thanks&regards,

Dale
