PRODUCTION DATA
Time division multiplexing (TDM) mode serializes channel data into the data lanes. The number of data lanes are programmable to 1, 2, 4 or 8 for ADS117L18 and 1, 2 or 4 for the ADS117L14. When the number of data lanes is less than the number of channels, the device packs data in TDM mode. The DP_TDM[1:0] bits of the DP_CFG1 register programs the number of data lanes.
The general characteristics of the data lanes are listed below.
Figure 7-34 shows the one data-lane option for the ADS117L18. DOUT2 through DOUT7 become unused inputs which must not be allowed to float. Apply daisy-chain data to the DIN0 pin. If unused, tie the pin to ground.
Figure 7-35 shows the two data-lane option for the ADS117L18 and the one data-lane option for the ADS117L14. DOUT2 through DOUT7 (ADS117L18) and DOUT2, DOUT3 (ADS117L14) become unused inputs which must not be allowed to float. Apply daisy-chain data to the DIN0 pin (ADS117L14) and to DIN0, DIN1 (ADS117L18). If unused, tie the pins to ground.
Figure 7-36 shows the four data-lane option for the ADS117L18 and the two data-lane option for the ADS117L14. DOUT4 through DOUT7 (ADS117L18) become unused inputs which must not be allowed to float. Apply daisy-chain data to DIN0, DIN1 (ADS117L14) and DIN0 through DIN3 (ADS117L18). If unused, tie to ground.
Figure 7-37 shows the eight data-lane option for the ADS117L18 and four data-lane option for the ADS117L14. DOUT4 through DOUT7 are not available for the ADS117L14. Daisy chaining is not possible for this mode.
