ADS1256: Input Multiplexer Cycling

Part Number: ADS1256

Tool/software:

Hello!


I am using an ADS1256 with the following parameters:

- 7.68 MHz clock

- 1 MHz SCLK

- Buffer On

- Auto-Calibration On

- PGA = 2

- data rate 15 SPS


When cycling through the inputs according to page 20 of the datasheet I see two different patterns:

1 - DRDY goes high during the beginning of the WAKEUP command (0xFF) as shown in figure 19



2 - DRDY goes high early, during the SYNC command (0xFC)



The two patterns roughly alternate.


Could you tell me the significance and cause of the different behaviors?

The readings I'm getting seem to be unaffected but I would like to confirm I didn't miss anything..


Thank you!

Teresa
