Table 1 lists the RS-232 commands used to com-
municate between the PC and the microcontroller.
To develop additional code to communicate to the
evaluation board via RS-232, the following ap-
plies: to write to an internal ADC register, choose
the appropriate write command byte (See Table 1),
and transmit it LSB first. Then, transmit the three
data bytes, lowest order byte (bits 7-0) first, with
the LSB of each byte transmitted first. These three
data bytes provide the 24-bits of information to be
written to the desired register. To read from an in-
ternal register, choose the appropriate read com-
mand byte and transmit it LSB first. Then, the
microcontroller automatically acquires the ADC’s
register contents and returns the 24-bits of informa-
tion. The returned data is transmitted lowest order
byte first with the LSB of each byte transmitted
first.
The CS5529 A/D converter is designed to operate
from a single +5V or a dual ±2.5V analog supply.
Figure 3 illustrates the power supply connections to
the evaluation board. The +2.5/5V Analog supplies
the positive analog section of the evaluation board,
the LT1019 and the ADC. The -2.5V Analog sup-
plies the negative. HDR8 (see Figure 1) can be used
to bypass VA- to ground. The +5V Digital supplies
the digital section of the evaluation board. It pow-
ers the 80C51, the reset circuitry, and the RS-232
interface circuitry.
Using the Evaluation Board
The CS5529 is a highly integrated ADC. It contains
coarse/fine charge buffers and programmable out-
put word rates (OWR). The buffers provide charge
to the modulator reducing the dynamic current de-
mand from the signal being digitized and from the
external reference. The ADC’s digital filter allows
the user to select output word rates (OWR’s) from
1.88 Hz up to 101.1 Hz (assuming a 32.768 kHz
clock). 303 Hz output word rates can be attained
when a 100kHz clock source is used. Since the
CS5529 has such a high degree of integration and
flexibility, the CS5529 data sheet should be read
thoroughly before and consulted during the use of
the CDB5529.
