SBAS905C November 2019 – July 2020 ADS8686S
PRODUCTION DATA
The ADS8686S features a highly configurable sequencer functionality. The sequencer enables selection of the internal MUX connection in a predetermined order. This architecture helps reduce the software overhead on the host controller to configure the next channel for conversion.
A complete set of sequencer functionality and configurability is available in software mode. The sequencer stack has 32 unique configurable sequence steps. All channels, including the diagnostic channel, can be randomly programmed in any order. Additionally, any channel AIN_nA input can be paired with any channel AIN_nB input or diagnostic channel.
The sequencer can be operated with or without the burst function enabled. With the burst function enabled, only one CONVST pulse is required to convert every channel in a sequence. With burst mode disabled, one CONVST pulse is required for every conversion step in the sequence. See the Section 7.4.2.6 section for additional details on operating in burst mode.
