ADS131M02: read ADC conversion data problem

Part Number: ADS131M02

Dear Specialists,

From the datasheet, I know there are four words in a frame:  response,  channel 0 data, channel 1 data,  CRC.

My question is:

1. if channel 0 is disabled, the frame format is three words (response,  channel 1 data,  CRC); or the frame is still four words (channel 0 data are zeros) ?

2. Software can only read three words (response,  channel 0 data, channel 1 data), which means CRC val is ignored ?  

Thank you.

Li

  • Hello Li,

    the frame format does not change when you disable any channel of ADS131M02. There will always be four words. If a channel is disabled, the data for that channel will show all 0s.

    Yes, you can ignore the CRC word if you don't need it and only read three words.

    Regards,
