7.3.14.2 Daisy Chain

Figure 7-29 shows a typical connection diagram with two devices in a daisy-chain topology.

ADS9324 Daisy-Chain Connections for Configuration SPI Figure 7-29 Daisy-Chain Connections for Configuration SPI

The CS and SCLK inputs of both ADCs are connected together and controlled by a single CS and SCLK pin of the controller, respectively. The SDI input pin of the bottom ADC in the chain (ADC2) is connected to the peripheral IN controller OUT (PICO) pin of the controller. Then, the SDO output pin of ADC2 is connected to the SDI input pin of ADC1. The SDO output pin of the top ADC in the chain (ADC1) is connected to the peripheral OUT controller IN (POCI) pin of the controller. The data on the PICO pin passes through ADC1 with a 32-SCLK delay, as long as CS is active. The register read and write requires 24-SCLK when daisy chain is not used. In daisy chain mode, register read and write requires 32-SCLK per ADC device. The MSB of the SPI commands are padded with zeros.

Daisy chain mode in ADS93x4 supports 1-lane, 2-lane, and 4-lane data transfer. Daisy chain is not supported with ADC data on SDOUT in 1-lane mode data transfer. Below are register configurations required to program the ADC in the daisy chain configuration.

  1. Set the DAISY_CHN_NUM and DAISY_CHN_LOC bit field for all devices.
  2. Set the number of lanes, DOUT_LANE_SEL, for all the devices. Number of lanes in the daisy chain configuration can only be 4, 2 and 1.
  3. Program the DAISY_CHN_EN to 1b for the devices.
