VCC
A similar situation may occur during the sleep state when
CS is pulsed HIGH-LOW-HIGH in order to test the conver-
sion status. If the device is in the sleep state (EOC = 0), SCK
will go LOW. Once CS goes HIGH (within the time period
defined above as tEOCtest), the internal pull-up is activated.
For a heavy capacitive load on the SCK pin, the internal
pull-up may not be adequate to return SCK to a HIGH level
before CS goes low again. This is not a concern under
normal conditions where CS remains LOW after detecting
EOC = 0. This situation is easily overcome by adding an
external 10k pull-up resistor to the SCK pin.
Internal Serial Clock, 2-Wire I/O,
Continuous Conversion
This timing mode uses a 2-wire, all output (SCK and SDO)
interface. The conversion result is shifted out of the device
by an internally generated serial clock (SCK) signal, see
Figure 13. CS may be permanently tied to ground, simpli-
fying the user interface or isolation barrier.
The internal serial clock mode is selected at the end of the
power-on reset (POR) cycle. The POR cycle is concluded
approximately 1ms after VCC exceeds 2.2V. An internal
weak pull-up is active during the POR cycle; therefore, the
internal serial clock timing mode is automatically selected
if SCK is not externally driven LOW (if SCK is loaded such
that the internal pull-up cannot pull the pin HIGH, the
external SCK mode will be selected).
During the conversion, the SCK and the serial data output
pin (SDO) are HIGH (EOC = 1). Once the conversion is
complete, SCK and SDO go LOW (EOC = 0) indicating the
conversion has finished. The data output cycle begins on
the first rising edge of SCK and ends after the 24th rising
edge. Data is shifted out the SDO pin on each falling edge
of SCK. The internally generated serial clock is output to
the SCK pin. This signal may be used to shift the conver-
sion result into external circuitry. EOC can be latched on
the first rising edge of SCK and the last bit of the
conversion result can be latched on the 24th rising edge
of SCK. After the 24th rising edge, SDO goes HIGH (EOC
= 1) indicating a new conversion is in progress. SCK
remains HIGH during the conversion.
