JAJSOX0A March 2024 – June 2024 ADS127L18
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The ADC supports channel-to-channel averaging to create higher resolution data from the original channel data. Averaging occurs across channels in groups of two, four, or eight, as programmed by the AVG_MODE[1:0] bits of the GEN_CFG2 register. In typical use, the signal is applied in parallel to the channels to be averaged. When the noise between channels is uncorrelated, the dynamic range improvement is (+dB) = 20 × log(√n), where n = number of channels averaged. Program the channels to the same data rate (OSR) in average mode.
Averaging is performed after the offset, gain, and output code clip operations. Therefore, averaging is based on the final output data from each channel. If clipped data occurs in a channel, the clipped data also reflects in the averaged result. The MOD_FLAG of the DP_STATUS header is an OR of the original channel MOD_FLAG status bits. Table 7-11 shows the channel slot assignment for the new averaged data. The original channel data are not available. If desired, pack the averaged channel data the same as the original channel data (TDM mode).
