CONTROLLING AND
INTERFACING THE ADC700
RESET
The ADC700 requires a Reset command upon power-up or
after a power interruption to guarantee the condition of
internal registers. If Status powers-up High, no conversion
can be started. Reset initializes the SAR, the output buffer
register, and the Data Ready flag and terminates a conver-
sion in progress. Since microprocessor systems already use
a power-on reset circuit, the same system reset signal can be
used to initialize the ADC700. A power-up circuit is shown
in Figure 8. Refer to Reset function timing diagram follow-
ing the Timing Specifications Table.

START OF CONVERSION
A conversion is started by asserting CS and WR Low. Status
goes high about t = t
approximation decision occurs about 900ns after WR is
asserted. Status goes Low after the conversion is complete.
Refer to Start of Conversion and Serial Data Output Timing
following the Timing Specifications Table.
DATA READY FLAG
The data latch feature permits data to be read during the
following conversion. The Data Ready flag indicates that the
data from the most recent conversion is latched in the output
data latch and that it hasn’t been read. Data Ready remains
High until the most significant data byte is read. If a
subsequent conversion is initiated and completed, the new
word will be stored in the output data latch regardless of the
state of the Data Ready flag. The preceding word will be
overwritten and lost.
READING PARALLEL DATA
Parallel data is latched in the output data latch at the end of
a conversion. Data can be read any time, even during the
subsequent conversion. The output data latch is not cleared
by reading the data. Only the Data Ready flag is cleared by
reading the MSB.
The output three-state drivers are enabled by asserting the
CS and RD inputs Low. When HBEN is Low, the most
significant eight bits are enabled and the Data Ready flag is
cleared. When HBEN is High, the least significant eight bits
are enabled. Refer to Parallel Data Output Timing informa-
tion following the Timing Specifications Table.
To reduce noise interference to the absolute minimum, data
should be read after the current conversion is complete.
However, data can be read during the following conversion,
with minimal interference, to maximize the sampling rate of
the converter.
A typical parallel interface is illustrated in Figure 9.
READING SERIAL DATA
Serial data output of the ADC700 is facilitated by a Serial
Data Strobe that provides 16 negative-going edges for strobing
an external serial to parallel shift register located perhaps on
the other side of an opto-coupler. Refer to the Serial Data
Timing information following the Timing Specifications
Table. An example of an isolation connection using the
serial port feature is illustrated in Figure 10.
CONTINUOUS CONVERSION OPERATION
When CS is permanently connected to Digital Common and
Status is connected to WR, Figure 11, the ADC700 will
continuously convert. The repetition time will not be precise
and will vary slightly with the temperature for the ADC700
because the time will be determined by the internal clock
frequency and control-circuit gate delays. If a precise repe-
tition rate is needed, the continuous conversion connection
should not be used.
