Abstract

See full text

Techniques for synchronization between multiple sampling circuits using a single pin interface to control an output data rate are described. The frequency or rate of a signal on this pin can be automatically determined and used to accomplish the required output data rate. Also described are techniques for using a single pin interface that can allow a sampling device to operate either in a master mode that can generate data strobes, or in a slave mode that can receive a convert start signal. Also described are techniques for controlling bandwidth and throughput for individual channels in a multi-channel device using a single pin interface. For example, using various techniques of this disclosure, integer multiple rate control for other channels can be provided thereby providing varying ODR for different channels, which can also control the bandwidth of interest.
