Data Sheet
SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)
The AD6643 serial port interface (SPI) allows the user to configure
the converter for specific functions or operations through a
structured register space provided inside the ADC. The SPI
gives the user added flexibility and customization, depending on
the application. Addresses are accessed via the serial port and
can be written to or read from via the port. Memory is organized
into bytes that can be further divided into fields. These fields are
documented in the Memory Map section. For detailed operational
information, see the
High Speed ADCs via SPI.
CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI
Three pins define the SPI of this ADC: the SCLK pin, the SDIO
pin, and the CSB pin (see Table 12). The SCLK (serial clock) pin
is used to synchronize the read and write data presented from/to
the ADC. The SDIO (serial data input/output) pin is a dual pur-
pose pin that allows data to be sent and read from the internal
ADC memory map registers. The CSB (chip select bar) pin is an
active low control that enables or disables the read and write cycles.

CSB
The falling edge of the CSB, in conjunction with the rising edge
of the SCLK, determines the start of the framing. An example of
the serial timing and its definitions can be found in Figure 45
and Table 5.
Other modes involving the CSB are available. The CSB can be
held low indefinitely, which permanently enables the device;
this is called streaming. The CSB can stall high between bytes
to allow for additional external timing. When CSB is tied high,
SPI functions are placed in a high impedance mode. This mode
turns on any SPI pin secondary functions.
During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted.
Data follows the instruction phase, and its length is determined
by the W0 bit and the W1 bit.
Function
Serial clock. The serial shift clock input, which is used to
synchronize serial interface reads and writes.
Serial data input/output. A dual purpose pin that
typically serves as an input or an output, depending on
the instruction being sent and the relative position in the
timing frame.
Chip select bar. An active low control that gates the read
and write cycles.

All data is composed of 8-bit words. The first bit of each individual
byte of serial data indicates whether a read or write command is
issued. This allows the serial data input/output (SDIO) pin to
change direction from an input to an output.
In addition to word length, the instruction phase determines
whether the serial frame is a read or write operation, allowing
the serial port to be used both to program the chip and to read
the contents of the on-chip memory. If the instruction is a readback
operation, performing a readback causes the serial data input/
output (SDIO) pin to change direction from an input to an output
at the appropriate point in the serial frame.
Data can be sent in MSB-first mode or in LSB-first mode. MSB
first is the default on power-up and can be changed via the SPI
port configuration register. For more information about this
and other features, see the
to High Speed ADCs via SPI, available at www.analog.com.
HARDWARE INTERFACE
The pins described in Table 12 comprise the physical interface
between the user’s programming device and the serial port of
the AD6643. Both the SCLK pin and the CSB pin function as
inputs when using the SPI interface. The SDIO pin is bidirectional,
functioning as an input during write phases and as an output
during readback.
The SPI interface is flexible enough to be controlled by either
FPGAs or microcontrollers. One method for SPI configuration
is described in detail in the
troller-Based Serial Port Interface (SPI) Boot Circuit.
The SPI port should not be active during periods when the full
dynamic performance of the converter is required. Because the
SCLK signal, the CSB signal, and the SDIO signal are typically
asynchronous to the ADC clock, noise from these signals can
degrade converter performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used for
other devices, it may be necessary to provide buffers between
this bus and the AD6643 to prevent these signals from transi-
tioning at the converter inputs during critical sampling periods.
Some pins serve a dual function when the SPI interface is not
being used. When the pins are strapped to AVDD or ground
during device power-on, they are associated with a specific
function. The Digital Outputs section describes the strappable
functions supported on the AD6643.
