ADS1263: Cycling Through Inputs

Part Number: ADS1263

Tool/software:

Hello,

Does anyone know if it's possible to setup the ADS1263 to automatically cycle through multiple inputs sequentially or would I have to write to the INPMUX register after every conversion to change to the next input?

For example, I have an application where I want to use ADC1 on singled-ended inputs 1-3 in turn (AIN1, then AIN2, then AIN3). I can't currently decipher whether I can configure it to make those three conversion after one START signal or if I'd have to follow a more complex process such as: convert AIN1, write to INPMUX, convert AIN2, write to INPMUX, convert AIN3.

Thanks in advance

Mitchell

  • Hi Mitchell,

    You will have to select the channel by programing MUXP[3:0] and MUXN[3:0] bits in the INPMUX register, however you can configure the ADC to operate in continuous-conversion mode with the START pin or the START1 command. In this mode, ADC1 continuously converts until stopped by taking the START pin low or by sending the STOP1 command.
