AD7885 to 8088 Interface
T he AD7885, with its byte (8 + 8) data format, is ideal for use
with the 8088 microprocessor. Figure 20 is the interface dia-
gram. Conversion is started by enabling
CSA
. At the end of
conversion, data is read into the processor. T he read instruc-
tions are:
MOV AX , C001
Read 8 MSBs of data
MOV AX , C000
Read 8 LSBs of data

AD7884 to ADSP-2101 Interface
Figure 21 shows an intcrface between the AD7884 and the
ADSP-2101. Conversion is initiated using a timer which allows
very accurate control of the sampling instant. T he AD7884
BUSY
line provides an interrupt to the ADSP-2101 when con-
version is completed. T he
RD
pulse width of the processor can
be programmed using the Data Memory Wait State Control
Register. T he result can then be read from the ADC using the
following instruction:
MR0 = DM (ADC)
where MR0 is the ADSP-2101 MR0 register, and
where
ADC is the AD7884 address.

Stand-Alone Operation
If
CS
and
RD
are tied permanently low on the AD7884, then,
when a conversion is completed, output data will be valid on the
rising edge of
BUSY
. T his makes the device very suitable for
stand-alone operation. All that is required to run the device is an
external
CONVST
pulse which can be supplied by a sample
timer. Figure 22 shows the AD7884 set up in this mode with the
BUSY
signal providing the clock for the 74HC574 3-state
latches.

Digital Feedthrough from an Active Bus
It is very important when using the AD7884/AD7885 in a
microprocessor-based system to isolate the ADC data bus from
the active processor bus while a conversion is being executed.
T his will yield the best noise performance from the ADC.
Latches like the 74HC574 can be used to do this. If the device
is connected directly to an active bus then the converter noise
will typically increase by a factor of 30%.
