5.16 Commands

All commands are 8 bits in length. Any command byte value that is not listed in this section is invalid. Commands
that write to registers must be followed by 3 bytes of data. Commands that read data can be chained with other com-
mands (e.g., while reading data, a new command can be sent which can execute during the original read). All com-
mands except register reads, register writes, and SYNC0 & SYNC1 will abort any currently executing commands.

5.16.1 Start Conversions

Initiates acquiring measurements and calculating results. The device has two modes of acquisition.

Modes of acquisition/measurement

0 = Perform a single computation cycle
1 = Perform continuous computation cycles

5.16.2 SYNC0 and SYNC1

The serial port can be initialized by asserting CS or by sending three or more consecutive SYNC1 commands fol-
lowed by a SYNC0 command. The SYNC0 or SYNC1 can also be sent while sending data out.

SYNC

0 = Last byte of a serial port re-initialization sequence.
1 = Used during reads and serial port initialization.

5.16.3 Power-up/Halt

If the device is powered-down, Power-Up/Halt will initiate a power on reset. If the part is already powered-on, all
computations will be halted.

5.16.4 Power-down and Software Reset

To conserve power the CS5463 has two power-down states. In stand-by state all circuitry, except the analog/digital
clock generators, is turned off. In the sleep state all circuitry, except the command decoder, is turned off. Bringing
the CS5463 out of sleep state requires more time than out of stand-by state, because of the extra time needed to
re-start and re-stabilize the analog oscillator.

S[1:0]

Power-down state

00 = Software Reset
01 = Halt and enter stand-by power saving state. This state allows quick power-on
10 = Halt and enter sleep power saving state.
11 = Reserved

SYNC
