ADS1256: t_11 after WAKEUP command

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1256

Dear All,

I am looking at Figure 19 of the ADS1256 datasheet, specifically the sequence between WREG_MUX, SYNC, WAKEUP and RDATA.  I have noted the requirement to observe timing t_11 and t_6.  As I see it, this sequence should be:

  • WREG-MUX; 0; <MUX-VALUE>
  • t_11 = 4 t_clk
  • SYNC
  • t_11 = 24 t_clk
  • WAKEUP
  • t_11 = ????
  • RDATA
  • t_6 = 50 t_clk
  • <MSB>; <UMB>; <LSB>

t_11 is missing for after the command WAKEUP.  Should this be 4 t_clk, 24 t_clk or something else?

  • Hi Damien,

    There is no delay required between WAKEUP and RDATA commands.

    If you are multiplexing through channels using the efficient method (shown in figure 19 of the datasheet) - then sending RDATA right away will begin the data read back of the previous conversion.

    Alternatively, you may also wait for /DRDY to go low before sending RDATA - which will then read back the new data, after conversion completes.
