How to supply Serial Clock Input into an audio-ADC IC?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the need for a serial clock input for the AD7811 audio ADC, which is essential for converting analog signals to digital. Users are advised to refer to the ADC's datasheet for detailed specifications on the clock requirements and connection methods. The clock signal typically comes from a microcontroller, which also sends serial data to the ADC and receives converted data. However, the original poster seeks a simpler solution for direct analog-to-digital conversion without using a microcontroller. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the ADC's clock and control inputs for effective operation.

Hi seniors,

I am struggling something with my audio ADC.
I bought AD7811 from farnell, which is an ADC to convert my analog data into digital. But at this stage, i found that a SERIAL CLOCK INPUT is needed to supply into the IC.
However, I m wondering what exactly the clock i should supply?
Hopefully, senior can give any advice to overcome this problem. thanks

Use the datasheet for your answer. You can find it here:

I assume you use a uC to drive the ADC. The clock comes from uC. On the ADC DIN input, the uC sends the serial data to program the ADC. Each bit is registered in the ADC on each pulse of the clock. Look in the ADC datasheet, page 15, Fig. 18.

The ADC DOUT sends the converted data to uC. It uses the clock the same way. Each data bit is sent to the uC on each clock pulse. Fig. 18 in the datasheet shows this as well. Read the text on page 15 for more info.

Also, pages 16 and 17 show how to connect the ADC to different microcontrollers.

thanks adrian.
Anyway, i think maybe i din make this clear that i want to directly convert the analog signal into serial digital output and no microcontroller is used.
so i wonder what SCLK and CONVST input ?
However, I m looking for much simple type of the ADC and DAC for audio conversion den transmission.. hopefully, any senior here could give ur point of view regarding this issue.

thanks
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
