  • Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.

while the clock line is HIGH will be interpreted as control signals.

  • Bus Not Busy. Data and clock lines remain HIGH.

for the duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per bit of data. bytes transferred between START and STOP conditions is not limited and is determined by the master device. The information is transferred byte-wise and each receiver acknowledges with a ninth-bit. 2C bus specifications a high-speed mode (3.4MHz clock rate) is defined.

Channel selection for the AS1538/AS1540 is made using a command byte (see Command Byte on page 12). Table 5. Powerdown Mode Bit Settings 0 0 Powerdown between A/D converter conversions. 0 1 Internal reference off and A/D converter on. 1 0 Internal reference on and A/D converter off. 1 1 Internal reference on and A/D converter on.

www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.03 16 - 20 AS1538/AS1540 Data Sheet - Application Information When using the internal reference: 1. Bit PD1 off the command byte must always be set to logic 1 for each sample conversion that is issued by the sequence, as shown in Figure 28 on page 14. 2. In order to achieve 12-bit accuracy conversion when using the internal reference, the internal reference set- tling time must be considered. If bit PD1 has been set to logic 0 while using the AS1538/AS1540, then the settling time must be reconsidered after PD1 is set to logic 1 (i.e., whenever the internal reference is turned on after it has been turned off, the set- tling time must be long enough to get 12-bit accuracy conversion). 3. When the internal reference is off, it is not turned on until both the first command byte with PD1 = 1 is sent and then a STOP condition or repeated START condition is issued. (The actual turn-on time occurs once the STOP or repeated START condition is issued.) Any command byte with PD1 = 1 issued after the internal reference is turned on serves only to keep the internal reference on. Otherwise, the internal reference would be turned off by any command byte with PD1 = 0. The example in Figure 29 can be generalized for a conversion cycle by simply swapping the timing of the conversion cycle. Note: If an external reference is used, PD1 must be set to 0, and the external reference must be settled. The typical sequence in Figure 28 on page 14 or Figure 29 on page 15 can then be used. Layout For optimum performance, care should be taken with the physical layout of the AS1538/AS1540 circuitry. The basic SAR architecture is sensitive to glitches or sudden changes on the power supply, reference, ground connections, and digital inputs that occur just prior to latching the output of the analog comparator. Therefore, during any single conver- sion for an n-bit SAR converter, there are n windows in which large external transient voltages can easily affect the conversion result. Such glitches might originate from switching power supplies, nearby digital logic, and high-power devices. - Power to the AS1538/AS1540 should be clean and well-bypassed. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor should be placed as close to the device as possible. A 1 to 10µF capacitor may also be needed if the impedance of the con- nection between +VDD and the power supply is high. - The AS1538/AS1540 architecture offers no inherent rejection of noise or voltage variation in regards to using an external reference input. This is of particular concern when the reference input is tied to the power supply. Any noise and ripple from the supply will appear directly in the digital results. - While high-frequency noise can be filtered out, voltage variation due to line frequency (50 or 60Hz) can be difficult to remove. - The GND pin should be connected to a clean ground point. In many cases, this will be the analog ground. Avoid connections that are too near the grounding point of a microcontroller or digital signal processor. - The ideal layout will include an analog ground plane dedicated to the converter and associated analog circuitry.
