ADS1252
clock (CLK) (modulator clock = CLK
÷ 6), the number of
system clocks required for the digital filter to fully settle is
5 64 6, or 1920 CLKs. This means that any significant
step change at the analog input requires five full conversions
to settle. However, if the analog input change occurs asyn-
chronously to the DOUT/DRDY pulse, six conversions are
required to ensure full settling.
CONTROL LOGIC
The control logic is used for communications and control of
the ADS1252.
Power-Up Sequence
Prior to power-up, all digital and analog input pins must be
LOW. At the time of power-up, these signal inputs can be
biased to a voltage other than 0V, however, they should
never exceed +VD.
Once the ADS1252 powers up, the DOUT/DRDY line will
pulse LOW on the first conversion. This data will not be
valid. The sixth pulse of DOUT/DRDY will be valid data
from the analog input signal.
DOUT/DRDY
The DOUT/DRDY output signal alternates between two
modes of operation. The first mode of operation is the Data
Ready mode (DRDY) to indicate that new data has been
loaded into the data output register and is ready to be read.
The second mode of operation is the Data Output (DOUT)
mode and is used to serially shift data out of the Data Output
Register (DOR). The time domain partitioning of the DRDY
and DOUT function is shown in Figure 11.
The basic timing for DOUT/DRDY is shown in Figure 12.
During the time defined by t2, t3, and t4, the DOUT/DRDY
pin functions in DRDY mode. The state of the
DOUT/DRDY pin would be HIGH prior to the internal
transfer of new data to the DOR. The result of the A/D
conversion would be written to the DOR from MSB to LSB
in the time defined by t1 (see Figures 11 and 12). The
DOUT/DRDY line would then pulse LOW for the time
defined by t2, and then pulse HIGH for the time defined by
t3 to indicate that new data was available to be read. At this
point, the function of the DOUT/DRDY pin would change
