ADS131A04: not getting sampled data from ADC

Part Number: ADS131A04

Hi there, I'm using ADS131A04 in Synchronous slave mode (16 bit), I followed the flowchart and got all the responses for the commands but not getting sampled data after Lock command.

sharing you the image of all the commands and there responses.

    Hi priti gaikwad,

    Could you correctly read internal register? for example, read A_SYS_CFG register or CLK1/2 register.

    Regards,

    Dale

    Hi priti gaikwad,

    This is great and it can demonstrate your SPI communication is good.

    Can you read STAT_M2 register before locking the ADC so that you can make sure the ADC is configured in a correct mode?

    If you are using internal voltage reference, you will have to change INT_REFEN bit from the default 0 to 1 in A_SYS_CFG register. By default, this ADC uses external voltage reference. I did not see you have programmed this register in your initialization process.

    Also, when you post your image, please directly upload them to this forum. Thanks. 

    Regards,

    Dale

    Hi, I have read the STAT_M2 register before locking.

    As for the voltage reference  we are using external voltage reference because of that i have not configured A_SYS_CFG register.

    Hi priti gaikwad,

    Thanks for your patience and information.

    Your register reading for STAT_M2 register is 0x09 which indicates that  your actual configuration is16-bit device word and asynchronous slave mode, but you expect "Synchronous slave mode" as you said, please double check. This configuration is related to how you deal with /DRDY signal and how you retrieve the data.

    Regards,

    Dale

    Hi Dale Li,

    We have now configured our ADC as an asynchronous slave. And we are getting DRDY signal and also data.

    collecting the sampled data on DRDY low.

     But we are unable to relate the calculated values with the adc sampled data.

    sharing you the sheet of collected reading of 4 channels with similar input and internal reference of 2.44v

    Hi priti gaikwad,

    I'm glad to hear you were able to get /DRDY and data from the ADC. Can you directly upload you data file in this forum? we are not allowed to access the google drive. Also, please let me know your analog input signal for getting these data.

    Regards,

    Dale

    Hi priti gaikwad,

    Some of your input signals are too small, for example, 0.0159mV (15.9uV) which is much lower than the ADC's offset error(500uV) and noise. The code is always 0x7fff when your input is 80.93mV, this is incorrect if you not using a large gain, so something is wrong.

    Are you using the default Gain=1? How did you connect AIN1N when you connect your analog signal to AIN1P and measure it with the ADC? the following figure shows two correct input configurations. Did you short REFN to AVSS? your schematic will be helpful to check. Can you check the voltage on REFP pin to see if it's correct 2.44V?

    Regards,

    Dale

    We are using ADC in internal reference voltage configuration with differential input. And yes, we are using default unity gain.

    Hi priti gaikwad,

    It is hard to see schematic. If you could provide a clear schematic, that will help.

    As I asked, the REFN pin should be directly connected to AVSS, I saw you connect REFN pin to somewhere with a resistor, please clarify. Also, please check the voltage between REFP and REFN pin, I have asked in the previous post but did not get your response so far.

    Once I get a clear schematic and check it, I will let know my feedback and also the next step testing to address the issue.

    Regards,

    Dale

    Hi Dale Li,

    As we are using Internal reference voltage, At the hardware side we have connected the REFN pin  to VSS. 

    And voltage between REFP and REFN is 0.501 millivolt.

    Hi priti gaikwad,

    Your schematic is still too blurred to see even I zoomed it in, you can open the image you uploaded to check.

    It seems like you have connected REFN pin to +Vref through a resistor (R13?) as shown below, not AVSS:

    You can re-upload your schematic in a pdf version so that I can check it, or let me know the following information:

    • AVDD?
    • AVSS?
    • IOVDD?

    If your power supply for the ADC is bipolar supply (e.g. +/-2.5V for AVDD and AVSS), you can simply connect a precision DC voltage (e.g. 50mV, 500mV or 1V) to AIN_xP pin and short AIN_xN pin to GND, then measure the voltage between AIN_xP and AIN_xN, read conversion data from the ADC. Let me know the input voltage you measure and also the code you get from the ADC. This is a simple test to verify if the ADC works as expected.

    Regards,

    Dale
