PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 6-11 shows a typical connection diagram showing multiple devices in a daisy-chain topology.
The CS and SCLK inputs of all ADCs are connected together and controlled by a single CS and SCLK pin of the controller, respectively. The SDI input pin of the first ADC in the chain (ADC1) is connected to the peripheral IN controller OUT (PICO) pin of the controller, the SDO output pin of ADC1 is connected to the SDI input pin of ADC2, and so on. The SDO output pin of the last ADC in the chain (ADC4) is connected to the peripheral OUT controller IN (POCI) pin of the controller. The data on the PICO pin passes through ADC1 with a 24-SCLK delay, as long as CS is active.
The daisy-chain mode must be enabled after power-up or after the device is reset. Set the daisy-chain length in the DAISY_CHAIN_LENGTH register to enable daisy-chain mode. The daisy-chain length is the number of ADCs in the chain excluding ADC1. In Figure 6-11, the DAISY_CHAIN_LENGTH = 3.
