PRODUCTION DATA
When starting or restarting conversions, the digital filter resets and requires a certain amount of time to provide settled output data. This time is called the latency time, tLATENCY. The ADS1x2S14 hide the unsettled data internally and only indicate when settled conversion data are available, by means of a falling DRDY edge or the DRDY bit. Table 7-6 and Table 7-7 summarize the latency times for the various speed modes and digital filter settings. The latency times are measured from the rising CS edge of the register write frame where the START bit is set to 1b in idle mode, to the first falling DRDY edge. Because the CS signal in the SPI clock domain is latched by the digital filter logic running on the modulator clock domain, the latency times provided have an uncertainty of ±1 tMOD. The conversion period for the second and all subsequent conversions equals tDATA = 1 / fDATA = OSR / fMOD as shown in Figure 7-11.
The latency time increases in certain situations:
In addition, a programmable delay time can be added to delay the start of the conversion cycle after the START bit is set. This delay time allows for settling of external components, such as the voltage reference after exiting standby mode, or for additional settling time when switching the signal through the multiplexer. The delay time is only added to the first conversion after a conversion start as shown in Figure 7-11. Subsequent conversions are not delayed. Use the DELAY[3:0] bits to configure the delay time.
