MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The AD7631 is ideally suited for traditional dc measurement
applications supporting a microprocessor and ac signal processing
applications interfacing to a digital signal processor. The
AD7631 is designed to interface with a parallel 8-bit or 18-bit wide
interface, or with a general-purpose serial port or I/O ports on a
microcontroller. A variety of external buffers can be used with
the AD7631 to prevent digital noise from coupling into the ADC.
SPI Interface
The AD7631 is compatible with SPI and QSPI digital hosts and
DSPs, such as Blackfin ADSP-BF53x and ADSP-218x/ADSP-219x.
Figure 48 shows an interface diagram between the AD7631 and
the SPI-equipped ADSP-219x. To accommodate the slower
speed of the DSP, the AD7631 acts as a slave device, and data must
be read after conversion. This mode also allows the daisy-chain
feature. The convert command could be initiated in response to
an internal timer interrupt.
The reading process can be initiated in response to the end-of-
conversion signal (BUSY going low) using an interrupt line of
the DSP. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) on the ADSP-219x
is configured for master mode (MSTR) = 1, clock polarity bit
(CPOL) = 0, clock phase bit (CPHA) = 1, and SPI interrupt enable
(TIMOD) = 0 by writing to the SPI control register (SPICLTx).
It should be noted that to meet all timing requirements, the SPI
clock should be limited to 17 Mbps allowing it to read an ADC
result in less than 1 μs. When a higher sampling rate is desired,
use one of the parallel interface modes.
