Using the MCP3301 with

Microcontroller (MCU) SPI Ports

With most microcontroller SPI ports, it is required to

clock out eight bits at a time. Using a hardware SPI port

with the MCP3301 is very easy because each conver-

sion requires 16 clocks. For example, Figure 6-4 and

Figure 6-5 show how the MCP3301 can be interfaced

to a microcontroller with a standard SPI port. Since the

MCP3301 always clocks data out on the falling edge of

clock, the MCU SPI port must be configured to match

this operation. SPI Mode 0,0 (clock idles low) and SPI

Mode 1,1 (clock idles high) are both compatible with

the MCP3301. Figure 6-4 depicts the operation shown

in SPI Mode 0,0, which requires that the CLK from the

microcontroller idles in the ‘low’ state. As shown in the

diagram, the sign bit is clocked out of the ADC on the

falling edge of the third clock pulse, followed by the

remaining 12 data bits (MSB first). Once the first eight

clocks have been sent to the device, the microcon-

troller’s receive buffer will contain two unknown bits (for

the first two clocks, the output is high impedance),

followed by the null bit, the sign bit and the highest

order four bits of the conversion. After the second eight

clocks have been sent to the device, the MCU receive

that, on the falling edge of clock 16, the ADC has begun

to shift out LSB first data.

Figure 6-5 shows the same scenario in SPI Mode 1,1,

which requires that the clock idles in the high state. As

with mode 0,0, the ADC outputs data on the falling

edge of the clock and the MCU latches data from the

ADC in on the rising edge of the clock.
