ADS7854: Issue when reading configuration data

Part Number: ADS7854

Hello,

I'm using the ADS7854 with single SDO link, and with 32CLK configuration. After performing the configuration, when I read back the configuration register CFR, bit R13 and R12 are both '0' when expected to be '1'. Others bits (R11 to R0) are correct. What could be the reason for this?

Moreover, I'm using the SPI mode 3 . Is that correct?

Regards.

  • Arnaund,

    For SPI Mode:  Different literature is not completely constant on what the numbers refer to for SPI mode.   Thus, I will describe the mode behavior for this device.  For ADS7854 the clock can idle high or low.  Data transitions on the rising edge and is captured on the falling edge.  I believe you are assuming that clock idles high, data transitions on rising edge, and is captured on falling edge.  This is a correct way of interoperating the SPI communications. 

    Regarding the register read.  The data sheet implies that you should be able to read the ADDR1, and ADDR0 bits.  However, I suspect that this may not be correct and these are write only bits (similar to bit 15 Write/Read).  The fact that all the remining bits read back correctly supports this assumption.  Also, the fact that the remaining bits looks correct indicates that you are using the correct SPI mode.  I will confirm this operation in the lab, but this may take some time.  For now, I think you are correctly configuring the device.

    Best regards,

  • Art,

    Many thanks for your answer and for your help. So I'll keep these settings from now.

    Let me know if lab tests lead to different results.

    Best regards,

    Arnaud.

  • Arnaund,

    I did not have any devices on hand.  I placed an order for some samples.  It will be a few days before I can confirm this.

    Thanks,
