RETRIEVAL
BEFORE
AND
AFTER
CONV
TOGGLES (CONTINUOUS MODE)
For the absolute maximum time for data retrieval, data can
be retrieved
before and after
CONV toggles. Nearly all of
T
INT
is available for data retrieval. Figure 25 illustrates
how this is done by combining the two previous methods.
Retrieval during CONV toggling to prevent digital noise, as
discussed previously, and finished before the next data is
ready. The maximum number of DDC118s that can be
daisy-chained together (FORMAT = high) is:
T
INT
20 s
160
DCLK
1.75 s
NOTE: 128
τ
DCLK
is used for FORMAT = low.
For T
INT
= 400
μ
s and DCLK = 10MHz, the maximum
number of DDC118s is 23 (or 29 for FORMAT = low).
RETRIEVAL: NONCONTINUOUS MODE
Retrieving in noncontinuous mode is slightly different,
compared to the continuous mode. As illustrated in
Figure 26, DVALID goes low in time t
30
after the first
integration completes. If T
INT
is shorter than this time, all
of t
31
is available to retrieve data before the other side data
is ready. For T
INT
> t
30
, the first integration data is ready
before the second integration completes. Data retrieval
must be delayed until the second integration completes,
leaving less time available for retrieval. The time available
is t
31
– (T
INT
– t
30
). The second integration’s data must be
retrieved before the next round of integration begins. This
time is highly dependent on the pattern used to generate
CONV. As with the continuous mode, data retrieval must
halt before and after CONV toggles (t
28
, t
29
) and be
completed before new data is ready (t
26
).
