ADC124S101: Behavior at less than SCLK 16 pulses

Part Number: ADC124S101

Team,

 

Our customer is working on abnormal cases for ADC124S101.

 

Generally the device works in a spec that it completes 1 sequence (16 SCLK pulses) within XCS=Low.

Then, as one of abnormal cases, in case SCLK pulses are less than 16 at XCS=Low, which behavior in the attached file does the device take ?

  • Hi Kenji,

    The ADC124S101 uses the /CS as a means to start data acquisition, so case 2 would never be a valid condition. It is best practice to keep the SCLK consistent, so that a full cycle is completed. What conditions are present in this application that might cause varitions 1 and 2?
  • The customer is concerned about an abnormal condition, while of course they usually work to keep the SCLK consistent.

    Then, if SCLK pulses are less than 16 at XCS=Low, which behavior in the attached file does the device work at ?

  • Hi Kenji,

    As I mentioned, case 2 would not be a valid condition.  The conversion would re-sample after /CS goes high and the re-applied SCLK would always start at CLK 1.  Depending on how many clocks there are before /CS goes high, you may get a few valid bits out of the part.
