PRODUCTION DATA
DRDY is the data-ready output signal pin. On the ADS125P08, this pin is a dual-function output pin denoted DRDY/GPIO1 on the Functional Block Diagram and in the Pin Configuration and Functions section. This pin is programmable to operate as a general purpose input/output, or to provide the data-ready indication. By default, the pin operates as DRDY signal. To simplify notation, the pin is referred to as DRDY pin instead of DRDY/GPIO1 pin for the remainder of this document.
DRDY drives high when conversions are started or resynchronized, and drives low when conversion data are ready. DRDY is driven back high at the eighth falling edge of SCLK during conversion data read as shown in Figure 7-41. If conversion data are not read, DRDY pulses high just prior to the next falling edge. Whenever the ADC is programmed to enter standby mode (STBY_MODE bit = 1b), DRDY is driven back high four fCLK cycles after transitioning low. DRDY is an active output whether CS is high or low.
See the DRDY Pin Behavior section for further details on the DRDY operation.
