Analog Devices EE-247 Interfacing AD7676 ADCs to ADSP-21065L Processors Application Note
This document provides technical guidance on interfacing Analog Devices AD7676 analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with ADSP-21065L SHARC processors. It specifically covers the configuration of the AD7676 in master serial mode with an internal discontinuous clock to supply data to the processor's serial port.
The note details the signal connections, timing requirements, and software implementation using assembly language. It includes example code for the ADSP-21065L to demonstrate how to program the Serial Port (SPORT) to receive 16-bit data from the ADC, handling the initial dummy reads required for the interface to function correctly.
