ZHCSEV8D March 2016 – January 2018 ADS131A02 , ADS131A04
PRODUCTION DATA.
The device has two data frame size options to set the number of device words per frame: fixed and dynamic-frame mode, controlled by the FIXED bit in the D_SYS_CFG register. By default, the ADS131A0x powers up in dynamic-frame mode.
In fixed-frame mode, there are always six device words for each data frame for the ADS131A0x. The first device word is reserved for the status word, the next four device words are reserved for the conversion data for each of the four channels, and the last word is reserved for the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) data word.
In dynamic-frame mode, the number of device words per data frame is dependent on if the ADCs are enabled and if CRC data integrity is enabled. When the ADCs are powered down in standby mode, the number of device words per data frame is either one or two depending if CRC data integrity is enabled. In normal operation with the ADC channels powered up, the number of device words per data frame depends on if CRC is enabled. When CRC data integrity is disabled in dynamic-frame mode, the sixth device word for the ADS131A0x is removed from the data frame. If CRC data integrity remains enabled, the device word count remains at six.
Figure 53 shows the fixed-frame and dynamic-frame modes for the ADS131A04 in standby mode with CRC data integrity enabled and disabled. Figure 54 shows the fixed-frame and dynamic-frame modes for the ADS131A04 with ADC channels and CRC data integrity enabled and disabled.
