TMS320LC3x Interface
Figure 20 shows an application circuit to interface the
MAX1246/MAX1247 to the TMS320 in external clock
mode. The timing diagram for this interface circuit is
shown in Figure 21.
Use the following steps to initiate a conversion in the
MAX1246/MAX1247 and to read the results:
1) The TMS320 should be configured with CLKX
(transmit clock) as an active-high output clock and
CLKR (TMS320 receive clock) as an active-high
input clock. CLKX and CLKR on the TMS320 are
tied together with the MAX1246/MAX1247s SCLK
input.
2) The MAX1246/MAX1247s CS pin is driven low by
the TMS320s XF_ I/O port to enable data to be
clocked into the MAX1246/MAX1247s DIN.
3) An 8-bit word (1XXXXX11) should be written to the
MAX1246/MAX1247 to initiate a conversion and
place the device into external clock mode. Refer to
Table 1 to select the proper XXXXX bit values for
your specific application.
4) The MAX1246/MAX1247s SSTRB output is moni-
tored via the TMS320s FSR input. A falling edge on
the SSTRB output indicates that the conversion is in
progress and data is ready to be received from the
MAX1246/MAX1247.
5) The TMS320 reads in one data bit on each of the
next 16 rising edges of SCLK. These data bits rep-
resent the 12-bit conversion result followed by four
trailing bits, which should be ignored.
6) Pull CS high to disable the MAX1246/MAX1247 until
the next conversion is initiated.
