Similarly, if the Q channel is powered-down (that is, PDQ is logic-high), the DQ data output pins, DCLKQ and
ORQ, may be left not connected.
8.1.4 Synchronizing Multiple ADC12D1620 Devices in a System
The ADC12D1620 has two features to assist the user with synchronizing multiple ADCs in a system: AutoSync
and DCLK reset. The AutoSync feature is new and designates one ADC12D1620 as the master ADC and other
ADC12D1620 devices in the system as slave ADCs. The DCLK reset feature performs the same function as the
AutoSync feature, but is the first-generation solution to synchronizing multiple ADCs in a system; it is disabled by
default. For applications in which there are multiple master and slave ADC12D1620 devices in a system,
AutoSync may be used to synchronize the slave ADC12D1620 devices to each respective master ADC12D1620,
and the DCLK reset may be used to synchronize the master ADC12D1620 devices to each other.
If the AutoSync or DCLK reset feature is not used, see Table 30 for recommendations about terminating unused
pins.

8.1.4.1 AutoSync Feature
AutoSync is a new feature which continuously synchronizes the outputs of multiple ADC12D1620 devices in a
system. It may be used to synchronize the DCLK and data outputs of one or more slave ADC12D1620 devices to
one master ADC12D1620. Several advantages of this feature include: no special synchronization pulse required,
any upset in synchronization is recovered upon the next DCLK cycle, and the master/slave ADC12D1620
devices may be arranged as a binary tree so that any upset quickly propagates out of the system.
An example system is shown in Figure 48, which consists of one master ADC and two slave ADCs. For
simplicity, only one DCLK is shown; in reality, there is DCLKI and DCLKQ, but they are always in phase with one
another.
