Q
AD7124-8 When single conversion mode is used, can be taken high after the
single conversion is initiated?
A
The serial interface is independent of the sampling process. So, once the
single conversion is initiated, the AD7124-8 will power up and perform the
single conversion irrespective of the polarity. So, the user can take low,
initiate the single conversion and then take high again. When the conversion
is complete, can be taken low to read the conversion and another single
conversion can be started if required.
When is taken high, the DOUT/ pin is tri-stated. Therefore, the DOUT/ pin will
not indicate the end of the conversion. The user can determine the end of the
conversion by reading the status register. Alternatively, the conversion time
could be timed out by the microcontroller clock.
