ADS131M04: First data after initialization

Part Number: ADS131M04


Dear Technical Support Team,

I am developing equipment incorporating the ADS131M04.
After the microcontroller boots, initialization proceeds in the following order: SPI initialization ⇒ DMA transfer initialization ⇒ ADS131M04 initialization ⇒ DMA transfer enable.
However, after initialization, the ADS131M04 outputs fixed data (3 bytes: 0x7B, 0x8D, 0x00) via SPI.

Currently, the above values are only confirmed during initialization; thereafter, they are output via DOUT in accordance with DIN.

Question:
Since no commands have been issued after initialization, is it acceptable to discard this data?

I don't believe this is noise, but I want to consider how to handle it when creating the firmware—whether it's data that should be discarded, if the data size might change, etc.

  • Hi TTD,

    could you explain what you are doing during the "initialization" of the ADS131M04? Are you communicating with the ADS131M04?
    The response 0x7B 0x8D 0x00 doesn't look like a valid response.
    Could you share a scope or logic analyzer screen shot for the communication, showing the CSn, SCLK, DIN, DOUT signals?

    Regards,
