Invalid supply measurements value

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1292

Hi all, I urgently seek for advises.

Based on the info in ADS1x9xECG-FE Demo kit, I'm trying to make a simple 1-channel ECG monitor with ADS1292 and MSP430F532x.

Things went quite OK until I just found out the ADC values are not quite normal.

Digging in, trying to find the cause of the problem, I tried Supply Measurement configuration and the result weren't as I expected.

The configuration I used is as follows.

const unsigned char ADS1x9x_Default_Register_Settings[15] = {

//Device ID read Only
0x00,
//CONFIG1
0x02,
//CONFIG2
// 0xE0,
0xA3,
//LOFF
0xF0,
//CH1SET (PGA gain = 6)
0x13,
//CH2SET (PGA gain = 6)
0x81,
//RLD_SENS
0x23,
//LOFF_SENS
0x00,
//LOFF_STAT
0x00,
//RESP1
0x02,
//RESP2
0x03,
//GPIO
0x0C
};

Applying the listed configuration gave me 1.5V reading on ADS1x9xECG-FE, but my design gave me (around) 0V reading.

The voltages on the outside looks quite promising, except for the voltage at RLDOUT pin.

That is, using 3.3V DVDD and 3.0V AVDD, I get 2.4V @ VREF, 5V @ CAP2, 1.2V @ VCAP1.

However, RLDOUT gave me ~2.5V and RLDINV gave me ~1.2V.

Any suggestions that I can consider trying?

p.s. FYI, "Test Signal" configuration works fine. It gives me 1Hz square wave. 

  • Just found out that the supply measurement works fine.

    It was the data translation(parsing) problem.

    Sorry for the trouble.

    However, the problem(?) still exist for RLDOUT and RLDINV voltage.

    Since I have configured to use internal RLD reference, I expect around 1.5V at those pins, just like in ADS1x9xECG-FE.

    Anything that I should check to get RLD working properly?
