9.2.2.3 ADC Setup

The ADS131M08 receives its clock from the MCU in this design. The ADS131M08 is configured in HR mode and the MCU provides an 8.192-MHz master clock, which is within the allowable clock frequency range for HR mode. The MCU SPI port that is used to communicate with the ADS131M08 is configured to CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 1. The SPI clock frequency is configured to be 8.192 MHz so that all conversion data can be shifted out of the device successfully within the sample period. When powered on, the MCU configures the ADS131M08 registers with the following settings using SPI register writes.

  • GAIN1 and GAIN2 register settings: PGA gain of 1 is used for all ADC channels.
  • CHx_CNG register settings (where x is the channel number): All ADC channel inputs are connected to the external ADC pins and the channel phase delay set to 0 for each channel. The channel phase setting can also be configured in this register. This design uses an integer number of output samples for phase calibration so the processing is done in software completely.
  • CLOCK register settings: OSR = 512, all channels enabled, and HR mode.

After the ADS131M08 registers are properly initialized, the MCU is configured to generate a GPIO interrupt whenever a falling edge occurs on the DRDY pin, which indicates that the ADS131M08 has new samples available.

The clock fed to the CLKIN pin of the ADS131M08 is internally divided by two to generate the modulator clock. The output data rate of the ADS131M08 is therefore fMOD / OSR = fCLKIN / (2 × OSR) = 8 kSPS.
