Hi,
We are trying to seek ADCs that can work in a continuous mode. I mean the ADC need only to be triggered once and then data can be read continuously, until it is shut down or enters into a power down mode.
This is what the ADS1601/2 does, which has a FSO output to inform the microprocessor that new data is ready to be read. But the power dissipation is a little bit high for us.
Most of ADCs with serial SPI interface needs the microprocessor to inform the ADC to start convention for every sample.
