ADS131M08: Erroneous response data

Part Number: ADS131M08
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS570LC4357

I am working on interfacing with two ADS131M08 devices using a TMS570lc4357 (SPI1) and having some odd behavior on the MISO lines. The design is configured so that it uses MibSPI parallel mode, clocking data out MOSI[0] to both devices and using MISO[0] and MISO[1] to receive the response. One or both of the ADS131M08 devices randomly clocks out one extra byte, shifting the entire 10 word frame by one byte. This results in the status/ack byte, CRC, and all data between being shifted by one byte. The following image is an example of a case where MISO[0] is correct, but MISO[1] has an extra byte shifted in. Interestingly, the MISO[1] device indicates that a reset recently occurred, while MISO[0] indicates that resynchronization occurred. The CRC of MISO[0] is correct and the CRC of MISO[1] is correct if you ignore the 0x04 that is shifted in seemingly erroneously. Another interesting observation is that the MISO[1] line goes high too early at the end of the frame.

The following image shows a later message where MISO[0] has an extra byte and when accounting for that extra byte the CRC 0xBD35 matches the calculated CRC when starting with 0x4106. The data within MISO[1] appears corrupted because the CRC does not check out. The MISO[0] signal appears to transition high at the end of the frame too early.

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome as this issue has stumped me for a few days. Thank you for your help.

  • Hi William Brown,

    I will take a look at this question tomorrow, thank you for patience

  • Hi William Brown,

    I read through this thread, but I am a bit confused: the ADS131M08 only has one DOUT (MISO) pin, so what are you showing in your logic analyzer plots? Are you measuring both of the MIBSPI1SOMI pins at the controller then?

    Is the data coming out of the ADC correct i.e. the data you see on the DOUT pin, measured / probed at the DOUT pin? If so, then this is probably a question for the Hercules MCU team
