In nap mode any combination of A/D channels can be
powered down while the internal reference circuits and the
PLL stay active, allowing faster wakeup than from sleep
mode. Recovering from nap mode requires at least 100
clock cycles. If the application demands very accurate DC
settling then an additional 50µs should be allowed so the
on-chip references can settle from the slight temperature
shift caused by the change in supply current as the A/D
leaves nap mode. Nap mode is enabled by mode control
register A1 in the serial programming mode.
DEVICE PROGRAMMING MODES
The operating modes of the LTC2175-12/LTC2174-12/
LTC2173-12 can be programmed by either a parallel in-
terface or a simple serial interface. The serial interface has
more flexibility and can program all available modes. The
parallel interface is more limited and can only program
some of the more commonly used modes.
Parallel Programming Mode
To use the parallel programming mode, PAR/
SER
should
be tied to V
DD
. The
CS
, SCK, SDI and SDO pins are binary
logic inputs that set certain operating modes. These pins
can be tied to V
DD
or ground, or driven by 1.8V, 2.5V, or
3.3V CMOS logic. When used as an input, SDO should
be driven through a 1k series resistor. Table 3 shows the
modes set by
CS
, SCK, SDI and SDO.
Serial Programming Mode
To use the serial programming mode, PAR/
SER
should be
tied to ground. The
CS
, SCK, SDI and SDO pins become a
serial interface that program the A/D mode control registers.
Data is written to a register with a 16-bit serial word. Data
can also be read back from a register to verify its contents.
Serial data transfer starts when
CS
is taken low. The data
on the SDI pin is latched at the first 16 rising edges of
SCK. Any SCK rising edges after the first 16 are ignored.
The data transfer ends when
CS
is taken high again.
The first bit of the 16-bit input word is the R/
W
bit. The
next seven bits are the address of the register (A6:A0).
The final eight bits are the register data (D7:D0).
If the R/
W
bit is low, the serial data (D7:D0) will be writ-
ten to the register set by the address bits (A6:A0). If the
R/
W
bit is high, data in the register set by the address bits
(A6:A0) will be read back on the SDO pin (see the Timing
Diagrams sections). During a read back command the
register is not updated and data on SDI is ignored.
The SDO pin is an open-drain output that pulls to ground
with a 200Ω impedance. If register data is read back
through SDO, an external 2k pull-up resistor is required.
If serial data is only written and read back is not needed,
then SDO can be left floating and no pull-up resistor is
needed. Table 4 shows a map of the mode control registers.
