TDC1000: Troubles with the Start signal and Tx

Part Number: TDC1000

Hello,

I'm designing a water level sensor using CCS C in a  PIC18f2550, currently i can send the configuration to the registers of the TDC but when powerup the trigger sometimes do it the start signal and sometimes don´t. The TDC never send the Tx signal. 

In the oscilloscope i can see the start signal but is very random, in some case can happen 8-12 triggers before the start signal begins but, is random. Sometimes the signal begins in the second or third trigger pulse too. On the picture the yellow signal is the Trigger and the blue the Start

  • Hello,

    Are you certain that the Enable pin is stable, and that there is enough time between the EN pin going high and the trigger pulse? There is a very short 50ns period between when the EN pin is pulled high and when the TDC1000 is ready to accept a trigger signal.
