3.12 Using the CS5581 in Multiplexing Applications
The CS5581 is a delta-sigma A/D converter. Delta-sigma converters use oversampling as means to
achieve high signal to noise. This means that once a conversion is started, the converter takes many sam-
ples to compute the resulting output word. The analog input for the signal to be converted must remain
active during the entire conversion until RDY falls.
The CS5581 can be used in multiplexing applications, but the system timing for changing the multiplexer
channel and for starting a new conversion will depend upon the multiplexer system architecture.
The simplest system is illustrated in
presented to the converter must fully settle. After the signal has settled, the CONV signal is issued to the
converter to start a conversion. Being a delta-sigma converter, the signal must remain present at the input
of the converter until the conversion is completed. Once the conversion is completed, RDY falls. At this
time the multiplexer can be changed to the next channel and the data can be read from the serial port.
The CONV signal should be delayed until after the data is read and until the new analog signal has settled.
In this configuration, the throughput of the converter will be dictated by the settling time of the analog input
circuit and the conversion time of the converter. The conversion data can be read from the serial port after
the multiplexer is changed to the new channel while the analog input signal is settling.
A more complex multiplexing scheme can be used to increase the throughput of the converter is illustrated
