ZHCSHD5A January 2018 – October 2018 ADS112U04
PRODUCTION DATA.
In automatic data read mode, the ADS112U04 automatically outputs the latest conversion data on the TX pin without the host sending an RDATA command. The DRDY signal does not have to be monitored in this mode; thus making this mode useful for applications that require the number of digital lines to be minimized. Using automatic data read mode requires the least amount of communication between the host and device when compared to monitoring the DRDY bit of the configuration register or the conversion data counter in manual data read mode. The conversion data counter can also be used in this mode to verify that the host has not missed a conversion result. The host must not send commands to the ADS112U04 while data are being output in automatic data read mode to avoid data corruption.
Figure 65 shows the timing diagram for collecting data in automatic data read mode.
