SBASAE3 December 2025 ADS125H18
PRODUCTION DATA
The ADS125H18 offers a timeout feature. Use the TIMEOUT_SEL[1:0] bits to enable the timeout feature and select the timeout duration.
Table 7-45 shows the options available for the timeout duration.
| TIMEOUT_SEL[1:0] | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| 00b | Timeout disable |
| 01b | Timeout enable with the short timeout, 256 CLKIN cycles |
| 10b | Timeout enable with the medium length timeout, 2048 CLKIN cycles |
| 11b | Timeout enable with the long timeout, 16384 CLKIN cycles |
When enabled, the timeout checks that a rising edge of CS happens within the selected number of CLKIN cycles after a CS falling edge. If no rising edge is detected, timeout happens. When a timeout occurs, the rest of the SPI frame on SDI is ignored before the rising edge of CS. A new SPI transaction starts at the next CS falling edge, see Figure 7-38.
The timeout feature improves the communication error tolerance: without a timeout capability, the communication can be lost if there are communication errors. Note that the timeout feature is only available in the CS-FWD mode.
