Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS131M04
Hello,
We have to digitize 4 different strain gauges used in bridge configurations. So we need 4 differentials inputs, therefore the ADS1261 seems good for this (by the way, is there a better choice for simultaneous sampling of strain gauges at relatively high frequencies?).
I've used the ADS1261-60 Design Calculator Excel sheet in order to calculate the maximum data rate I'll be able to get.
Using the Chop mode, it seems to be 2912.9/4 = 728.225 SPS. Do you confirm?
I'm a bit confused regarding to the frequency response of the digital filter when multiplexing the inputs, is it the same as a continuous sampling on one channel?
And about the ADC configuration for multiplexed inputs, is this the good workflow:
- First mux on channel 1
- Start continuous conversion
- Wait for !DRDY
- Get the sample
- Mux on channel 2
- Wait for !DRDY
- Get the sample
- etc.
Thanks in advance,
Victor
