Continuous Communication,

Looping On Address Sets

If the user wishes to read back either of the ADC

channels continuously, or both channels continuously,

the internal address counter of the MCP3901 can be

set to loop on specific register sets. In this case, there

is only one control byte on SDI to start the

communication. The part stays within the same loop

until CS returns high.

This internal address counter allows the following

functionality:

• Read one ADC channel data continuously

• Read both ADC channel data continuously (both

ADC data can be independent or linked with

DRMODE settings)

• Read continuously the entire register map

• Read continuously each separate register

• Read continuously all configuration registers

• Write all configuration registers in one

communication (see Figure 6-6)

The STATUS/COM register contains the loop settings

for the internal address counter (READ<1:0>). The

internal address counter can either stay constant

(READ<1:0>=00) and read continuously the same

byte, or it can auto-increment and loop through the

groups

defined

below

(READ<1:0>=01),

map (READ<1:0>=11).

Each channel is configured independently as either a

16-bit or 24-bit data word depending on the setting of

the corresponding WIDTH bit in the CONFIG1 register.

For continuous reading, in the case of WIDTH=0

(16-bit), the lower byte of the ADC data is not accessed

and the part jumps automatically to the following

address (the user does not have to clock out the lower

byte since it becomes undefined for WIDTH=0).

The following figure represents a typical continuous

read

communication

with

the

default

settings

(DRMODE<1:0>=00, READ<1:0>=10) for both WIDTH

settings. This configuration is typically used for power

metering applications.
