8.5.4 Configuration Guide
After RESET or power-on, the registers can be configured using the following procedure:
- Reset the serial interface. Before using the serial interface, it may be necessary to recover the serial interface (undefined I/O power-up sequencing may cause false SCLK detection). To reset the SPI interface, toggle the RESET pin or, when in Read Data Continuous mode, hold SCLK low for 64 DRDY periods.
- Configure the registers. The registers are configured by either writing to them individually or as a group. Software may be configured in either mode. The SDATAC command must be sent before register read/write operations to cancel the Read Data Continuous mode.
- Verify register data. The register may be read back for verification of device communications.
- Set the data mode. After register configuration, the device may be configured for Read Data Continuous mode, either by the Read Data Continuous command or configured in Read Data By Register mode using SDATAC command.
- Synchronize readings. Whenever SYNC is high, the ADS1282-SP freely runs the data conversions. To stop and re-sync the conversions, take SYNC low and then high.
- Read data. If the Read Data Continuous mode is active, the data are read directly after DRDY falls by applying SCLK pulses. If the Read Data Continuous mode is inactive, the data can only be read by Read Data By Command. The Read Data opcode command must be sent in this mode to read each conversion result (DRDY only asserts after each read data command is sent).
