Figure 44. Programmable Sequence Flowchart
Th
e AD7327 can be configured to automatically cycle through a
number of selected channels using the on-chip sequence register
with the Seq1 bit and the Seq2 bit in the control register
. Figure 44shows how to program t
he AD7327 register to operate in
sequence mode.
After power-up, all of the four on-chip registers contain default
values. Each analog input has a default input range of ±10 V. If
different analog input ranges are required, a write to the range
registers is required. This is shown in the first two serial transfers
These two initial serial transfers are only necessary if input
ranges other than the default ranges are required. After the
analog input ranges are configured, a write to the sequence
register is necessary to select the channels to be included in the
sequence. Once the channels for the sequence have been selected,
the sequence can be initiated by writing to the control register
and setting Seq1 to 0 and Seq2 to 1. Th
e AD7327 continues to
convert through the selected sequence without interruption,
provided the sequence register remains unchanged and Seq1 =
0 and Seq2 = 1 in the control register.
