PRODUCTION DATA.
The ADS131A0x offers an integrated watchdog timer to protect the device from entering any unresponsive state. The watchdog timer is a 16-bit counter running on an internal 50-kHz clock. The timer resets with each data frame when the CS signal transitions from high to low. If a timer reset does not take place and the watchdog timer expires after 500 ms, the device assumes that an unresponsive state has occurred and issues a watchdog timer reset. Following the reset, the device enters the power-up state (see the Power-Up section), sets the F_WDT bit in the STAT_1 register, and indicates that a watchdog timer reset has taken place. Enable the watchdog timer by setting the WDT_EN bit in the D_SYS_CFG register.
