SBAS740B October 2015 – May 2020 ADS1118-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
When connecting multiple ADS1118-Q1 devices to a single SPI bus, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT/DRDY can be safely shared by using a dedicated chip-select (CS) for each SPI-enabled device. By default, when CS goes high for the ADS1118-Q1, DOUT/DRDY is pulled up to VDD by a weak pullup resistor. This feature prevents DOUT/DRDY from floating near midrail and causing excess current leakage on a microcontroller input. If the PULL_UP_EN bit in the Config register is set to 0, the DOUT/DRDY pin enters a 3-state mode when CS transitions high. The ADS1118-Q1 cannot issue a data-ready pulse on DOUT/DRDY when CS is high. To evaluate when a new conversion is ready from the ADS1118-Q1 when using multiple devices, the master can periodically drop CS to the ADS1118-Q1. When CS goes low, the DOUT/DRDY pin immediately drives either high or low. If the DOUT/DRDY line drives low on a low CS, new data are currently available for clocking out at any time. If the DOUT/DRDY line drives high, no new data are available and the ADS1118-Q1 returns the last read conversion result. Valid data can be retrieved from the ADS1118-Q1 at anytime without concern of data corruption. If a new conversion becomes available during data transmission, that conversion is not available for readback until a new SPI transmission is initiated.
