7.3.8 Monitors and Diagnostics

The ADS131B23 integrates many monitor and diagnostic circuits to aid in the design of functional safety systems. Monitors detect faults in the device, such as a supply undervoltage condition, whereas diagnostics detect faults within the monitoring circuit to check if the monitor is still working as intended.

Table 7-14 provides an overview of all available monitors and diagnostics. Most monitors can be enabled or disabled as required using a dedicated monitor enable bit. If a monitor detects a fault, the according low-active fault flag is set to 0b. Except for the communication-related monitor fault flags, the fault flags must be cleared to 1b by the host after the fault condition is removed. The communication-related monitor fault flags reset to 1b automatically in the SPI frame following a frame where no communication fault occurred.

The monitors that have a dedicated diagnostic circuit to check the integrity of the monitor show the respective diagnostic enable bit in Table 7-14.

The monitors have individual fault response times, which is the time from fault occurrence to fault flag indication, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.

In addition to the monitors that detect faults in the device, the ADS131B23 also provides the indicators shown in Table 7-15, which provides feedback about the device state or behavior.

Lock state LOCK STATUS_MSB

Lastly, the device provides the conversion and sequence counters shown in Table 7-16 for the individual ADCs.

COUNTER NAME COUNTER BITS COUNTER BITS REGISTER LOCATION
ADC1A conversion counter CONV1A_COUNT[1:0] STATUS_LSB
ADC1B conversion counter CONV1B_COUNT[1:0] STATUS_LSB

Besides the monitors, indicators, and counters mentioned in the previous tables, the ADS131B23 offers additional means to check the integrity of the device, such as:

  • Power-supply voltage readback using ADC2A
  • A temperature sensor, TSA
  • Two test DACs, TDACA and TDACB
  • Open-wire detection current sources and sinks on every ADC
