To start acquiring chipselect must go high for 1 clock cycle.
At the falling edge the adc starts conversion. (it's falling edge
sensitive).
After 5 clock cycles the serial data out goes from Hi-Z state to 0.
After 1 clock cycle it starts sending data through serial data out for 16
clock cycles.
Then it goes into power down state and waits for a chipselect.
I have made a state machine which follows that. Into post-place simulation
works well.

Look closely at the datasheet for the A/D converter. How do they say you
should acquire a reading and how are you trying to acquire it?

Hallo,
I have made a small microcontroller based on microblaze.
I have connected a differential 16 bit adc to my system.
The adc takes input from a opamp for testing.
The system works well only if I measure voltage between chipselect of adc
and gnd. In this way it shows every hex number in range: 0 to 7FFF (it is
two complementer).
If not, I can see only 4-5 numbers of the acquisition range: FB, 1F1F, 3E3E,
7C7C.
Which trouble could produce a so strange behavior?
Many Thanks
Marco
