ADVANCE INFORMATION
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The ADC is synchronized on the rising edge of the SYNC/PWDN pin (available on ADS125R11 and ADS125R14) or by the SYNC command of SPI (available on all devices). Synchronization starts a new conversion cycle with output data withheld until the filter is fully settled. SYNC/PWDN can be tied high to free-run conversions. In this case, the ADC can be synchronized through the SYNC command.
As shown in Figure 10-19, DRDY is driven high when SYNC/PWDN is taken low. If held low for 20 DRDY periods, the device enters power down mode. When taken high, synchronization occurs on the next falling edge of CLKIN. DRDY drives low when the filter is fully settled (tSET), which indicates conversion data are available to read. The data are fully settled - there is no need to ignore or discard data. See Table 10-15 and Table 10-11 for settling time data (tSET). Note SPI communication is not possible on the serial interface while the pin SYNC/PDWN pin is low.
To synchronize with the SYNC command, first shift-in the eight bits of the command. This stops conversions. When ready to synchronize, shift-in the WAKEUP command. Synchronization occurs on the rising edge of CLKIN after the first SCLK rising edge of the WAKEUP command. Fully settled data are available at time tSET when DRDY falls low. Figure 10-20 shows the SYNC command for the ADS125R11 and ADS125R14. The ADS125R13 combines the functions of the DOUT and DRDY pins on the DOUT/DRDY pin. Keep the CS pin must be low to observe the low transition of DOUT/DRDY.
