ZHCSIU4A September 2018 – August 2019 ADS1284
PRODUCTION DATA.
The ADS1284 can be synchronized to an external event, as well as synchronizing multiple ADS1284 devices together if the synchronization pulse is applied simultaneously.
The ADS1284 has two methods of synchronization: the SYNC input pin and the SYNC command. In addition, there are two synchronization modes: pulse-sync and continuous-sync. In pulse-sync mode, the ADS1284 synchronizes unconditionally at each synchronization event. In continuous-sync mode, the first synchronization is unconditional, thereafter the ADC re-synchronizes only when the next SYNC pin edge does not occur at an integer multiple of the data rate. Typically, a synchronization clock is applied to the SYNC pin with a period equal to an integer multiple of the data rate. When the periods of the SYNC input and the DRDY output do not match due to system glitch or clock noise event, the ADC re-synchronizes.
