ADS1220: Multiple devices

Part Number: ADS1220

Hi Experts,

Good day.

Cx is using multiple ADS1220 A/D converters for a design. Was going to share the DRDY pin between all ADS1220s they're using. They'll have isolated CS input lines for each A/D, but was wondering if sharing the DRDY pin could damage the A/Ds that are not active(CS high) during data transmission of one of the A/Ds.

Thank you.

Regards,
Archie A.

    Archie,

    The DOUT/DRDY pin is a push-pull logic type output.  Connecting two push-pull outputs together can create a conflict where one is outputting a logic zero and the other is outputting a logic one.  This is not advisable as the resultant logic state is indeterminant and the device current can be high.  You could use a logic OR-gate (or multiple OR-gates) if you want to OR the DRDY signals.  Let me know if this helps or if you have further questions.

    Hi Art,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Understanding that the outputs are push-pull, we will only be communicating with one device at a time on the SPI bus pulling the CS low for one device at a time. Won't the remaining non-active ADCs on the bus have floating pins for these outputs during this data transmission?

    Archie,

    Dout will go high Z when not being used.  If Dout is configured as Dout/DRDY by setting the DRDYM bit high in the configuration register, it will not go in high Z mode.  The stand alone DRDY pin will never be in high Z mode, it will output a low when data is ready and a high otherwise.
