Synchronize 2 x AFE4400

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE4400

Hi,

I am working on an SpO2 application that requires more than 2 LEDs (possibly 4 LEDs will feed into 1 Photo Detector), so I am considering to use 2 or more AFE4400 ICs, but question is how can we synchronize them together.

From datasheet, my proposal is:

 - Use single 8MHz Oscillator to feed into Xin pin of both AFE4400.

 - Program the 1st AFE4400 to acquire data from first 2 channels in first half of cycle, and the 2nd AFE4400 for remaining 2 channels in second half of cycle.

 - MCU calculate the difference between 2 ADC_RDY signals from 2 AFE4400, and adjust the timing (PRPCOUNT registers) accordingly.


Please advice if it is possible or not.


Thank you very much.
