PRODUCTION DATA
SDO/DRDY is a dual-function output pin. This pin is programmable to provide output data only, or to provide output data and the data-ready indication. The SDO_MODE bit of the CLK_DIGITAL_CFG register programs the mode. The dual-function mode multiplexes output data and data-ready operations on a single pin. This mode can replace the function of the dedicated DRDY pin to reduce the number of SPI I/O lines required to interface to the host.
Output data update on the rising edge of SCLK. The SDO/DRDY pin is in a high-impedance state when CS is high.
When programmed to dual-function mode (SDO_MODE bit = 1b) and when CS is low, SDO/DRDY mirrors DRDY until the first rising edge of SCLK, at which time the pin changes mode to provide data output. When the data read operation is complete (24th falling edge of SCLK, or 48th edge if the CRC byte and STATUS header are included), the pin reverts back to mirroring DRDY. Figure 7-41 illustrates the operation of SDO/DRDY.
When using the dual-function mode of ADS125P08, the device switches from DRDY to SDO mode at the first rising SCLK. This transition takes tp(DRDO) which must be accounted for either by lengthening the first SCLK high-period, lengthening all SCLK high-periods, or latching output data after SCLK falling edge.
For the output data only mode SDO_MODE = 0b, SDO stays at the level of the last bit sent if the host does not send any extra SCLK pulses after the last data is shifted out on SDO, as shown in Figure 7-41. If the host sends additional SCLK pulses after the last data is shifted out, then SDO drives low. Figure 7-42 shows a timing diagram of the SDO behavior with additional SCLK pulses.
