ADS1261: AC Excitation code

Part Number: ADS1261

Dear Sirs

I intend to use the AC Excitation feature on the ADS1261.  I've read the short procedural description in the data sheet.  My question is, after the register setup, will the excitation switching happen automatically after the conversion has started?  Does anyone have a code example that they could send me?  Thank you.

  • Hi Dennis,

    If you enable one of the AC-excitation modes on the ADS1261, it will automatically switch the GPIO signals (assuming you've enabled them) and then provide the averaged conversion result from measuring the bridge in two different polarities.

    We provide Generic Example C for for the ADS1261 here: ADS1261 Example C Code Software , and in the EVM Software we have the following pseudo-code to show and example command sequence for setting up an AC-excited bridge measurement:
