ZHCSAJ4D November 2012 – September 2019 ADS1018
PRODUCTION DATA.
The data output and data ready pin (DOUT/DRDY) is used with SCLK to read conversion and register data from the ADS1018. Data on DOUT/DRDY are shifted out on the SCLK rising edge. DOUT/DRDY is also used to indicate that a conversion is complete and new data are available. This pin transitions low when new data are ready for retrieval. DOUT/DRDY is also able to trigger a microcontroller to start reading data from the ADS1018. In continuous-conversion mode, DOUT/DRDY transitions high again 8 µs before the next data ready signal (DOUT/DRDY low) if no data are retrieved from the device. This transition is shown in Figure 11. Complete the data transfer before DOUT/DRDY returns high.
When CS is high, DOUT/DRDY is configured by default with a weak internal pullup resistor. This feature reduces the risk of DOUT/DRDY floating near midsupply and causing leakage current in the master device. To disable this pullup resistor and place the device into a high-impedance state, set the PULL_UP_EN bit to 0 in the Config register.
