PRODUCTION DATA
Table 9-1 lists common issues faced when designing with the AMC131M03 and the corresponding solutions. This list is not comprehensive.
ISSUE | POSSIBLE ROOT CAUSE | POSSIBLE SOLUTION |
---|---|---|
The DRDY pin is toggling at half the expected frequency. | The DRDY_FMT bit is set to 1b and ADC conversion data are not being read. The updates of the conversion data in the FIFO buffer drive the DRDY pin. If the host does not read the conversion data, the data in the FIFO buffer are updated every other conversion. This update causes the DRDY pin to toggle at half the output data rate. See the ADC Output Buffer and FIFO Buffer section for a detailed explanation. | Read data after each DRDY falling edge following the recommendations given in the Collecting Data for the First Time or After a Pause in Data Collection section. |
The F_RESYNC bit is set in the STATUS word even though this bit was already cleared. | The SYNC/RESET pin is being toggled asynchronously to CLKIN. | The SYNC/RESET pin functions as a constant synchronization check, rather than a convert start pin. See the Synchronization section for more details on the intended usage of the SYNC/RESET pin. |
The same ADC conversion data are output multiple times before changing. | The ADC does not recognize the data as being read because not all ADC channel data are read by the host. | Read all data words in the output data frame, including those for channels that are disabled. |
The SEC_FAIL bit in the STATUS register is set, even if the power on the secondary side appears to be stable, for example after an SPI write operation. | Writing data to any of the ADC configuration registers on the high side also sets the SEC_FAIL bit until the transmission over the isolation barrier is complete. | Read the SEC_FAIL bit in the STATUS register repeatedly until the bit is cleared to 0b, before reading ADC conversion data. |
