PRODUCTION DATA
After changing the input multiplexer, the first data are fully settled. In both ADS123x devices, the digital filter is allowed to settle after toggling either the A1 or A0 pin. Toggling any of these digital pins holds the DRDY/DOUT line high until the digital filter is fully settled. For example, if A0 changes from low to high, selecting a different input channel, DRDY/DOUT immediately goes high, and DRDY/DOUT goes low when fully settled data are ready for retrieval. There is no need to discard any data. Figure 8-7 shows the timing of the DRDY/DOUT line as the input multiplexer changes.
In certain instances, large or abrupt input changes require four data cycles to settle. One example of such a change is an external multiplexer in front of the ADS123x, which can cause large changes in input voltage simply by switching input channels. Another example is toggling the TEMP pin, which switches the internal AINP, AINN signals to connect to either the external AINPx, AINNx pins or to the TEMP diode (see Figure 8-1).
To acquire fully settled data after an input step change, five readings are required. Five readings are required because if the change in input occurs in the middle of the first conversion, four additional full conversions of the fully settled input are required to get fully settled data. Discard the first four readings because they contain only partially settled data. Figure 8-8 illustrates the settling time for the ADS123x in continuous conversion mode.
