1. PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION Pin Pin Number Mnemonic Function 1 ADDO Address Input This control input determines whether the word placed on the output data bus during a read operation is a data word from the FIFO RAM or the contents of the status control register logic low accesses the data word from Location 0 of the FIFO while a logic high selects the contents of the register see Status Control Register section 2 Select Active low logic input The device is selected when this input is active 3 DMWR Dam Memory Write Active low logic input DMIWR is used in conjunction with CS low and ADDO high to write data to the status control register Corresponds to DMWR ADSP 2100 RW MC68000 TMS32020 WE TMS32010 4 Data Memory READ Active low logic input DMRD is used in conjunction with CS low to enable the three state output buffers Corresponds directly to DMRD ADSP 2100 DEN TMS32010 5 BUSY Active Low Logic Output This output goes low when the ADC receives a CONVST pulse and remains low until the track hold has gone into its hold mode The three state drivers of the AD7878 can be disabled while the BUSY signal is low see Extended READ WRITE section This is achieved by writing a logic 0 to DBS DISO of the status control register Writing logic 1 to DBS of the statusicontrol register allows data to be accessed from the AD7878 while BUSY is low 6 FIFO Almost Full A logic low indicates that the w

3. Conversion is initiated on the AD7878 by asserting the CONVST input This CONVST input is an asynchronous input indepen dent of either the ADC or DSP clocks This is essential for applica tions where precise sampling in time is important In these applica tions the signal sampling must occur at exactly equal intervals to minimize errors due to sampling uncertainty or jitter In these cases the CONVST input is driven from a tamer or some precise clock source On receipt of a CONVST pulse the AD7878 acknowl edges by taking the BUSY output low This BUSY output can be used to ensure no bus activity while the track hold goes from track to hold mode see Extended Read Write section The CONVST input must stay low for at least two CLK IN periods The track hold amplifier switches from the track to hold mode on the rising edge of CONVST and conversion is also initiated at this point The BUSY output returns high after the CONVST input goes high and the ADC begins its successive approximation routine Once conversion has been initiated another conversion start should not be attempted until the full conversion cycle has been completed Figure 5 shows the taming diagram for the conversion start TRACK TO HOLD TRANSITION B sY 1 Figure 5 Conversion Start Timing Diagram READ WRITE OPERATIONS The AD7878 read write operations consist of reading from the FIFO memory and reading and writing from the status control register These

BUSY and CS gated signal drives the microprocessor into a WAIT state thereby extending the read write operation BUSY goes high on the second rising edge of CLK IN after CONVST goes high The AD7878 data outputs are now enabled and the microprocessor is released from its WAIT state allowing it to complete its read write operation to the AD7878 The micropro extended by the ods worst case This is the maximum length of time for which BUSY can be low Assuming a CONVST pulse width of two CLK IN periods and an 8 MHz CLK IN the instruction cycle is extended by 500 ns maximum Figure 9 shows the timing diagram for an extended read operation In similar manner a write operation will be extended if it occurs during a CONVST pulse For processors that cannot be forced into a WAIT state writing a logic 1 into DB3 of the status control register allows the out put latches to be enabled while BUSY is low In this case BUSY still goes low as before but it would not be used to stretch the read write cycle and the instruction cycle continues as normal see Figures 6 and 8 je x fen 9 EE CEE Figure 9 Extended Read Operation AD7878 DYNAMIC SPECIFICATIONS The AD7878 is specified and 100 tested for dynamic perfor mance specifications rather than for traditional dc specifications such as Integral and Differential Nonlinearity These ac specifi cations provide information on the AD7878 s effect
