Part Number: LDC1000
Hi,
I am building a custom application using an LDC1000 device. The idea is to measure the rotation speed of a metallic material. The application works quite well, however. I have added a guard for checking the status register of the LDC1000 to make sure the proximity data is ready before we read it.
We have now increased the frequency at which we read the Proximity registers and have notice an increase in the number of data not being read due to NOT BEING READY.
I checked the datasheet, where it states the Output Rate is a function of the defined RESPONSE_TIME and Sensor Frequency.
I am a bit puzled with the whole information, so if you could help me I would be very thankful.
- Is this the Sensor Frequency based on the Watchdog Timer? Why would this change the output rate? If not, then what frequency am I supposed to tune.
- We do not use an external clock as we do not need to measure inductance. Does this impact the Sensor Frequency for the output rate? If not, then what am I really changing?
Thank you in advance
