POWER-DOWN MODE
The normal state of SCLK is LOW; however, by holding
SCLK HIGH, the ADS1251 will enter power-down mode. This
is accomplished by holding SCLK HIGH for at least 20
consecutive DOUT/DRDY
periods (see Figure 14). After the
ADS1251 circuitry detects that SCLK has been held HIGH for
four consecutive DOUT/DRDY
cycles, the DOUT/DRDY pin
pulses LOW for one CLK cycle and then is held HIGH, and
the modulator is held in a reset state. If SCLK is held HIGH
for an additional 16 DOUT/DRDY
periods, the ADS1251
enters power-down mode. The part will be released from
power-down mode on the falling edge of SCLK. It is impor-
tant to note that the DOUT/DRDY
pin is held HIGH after four
DOUT/DRDY
cycles, but power-down mode is not entered
for an additional 16 DOUT/DRDY
periods. The first
DOUT/DRDY
pulse after the falling edge of SCLK occurs at
t
16
and indicates valid data. Subsequent DOUT/DRDY pulses
will occur normally.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The ADS1251 includes a simple serial interface which can be
connected to microcontrollers and digital signal processors in
a variety of ways. Communications with the ADS1251 can
commence on the first detection of the DOUT/DRDY
pulse
after power up.
It is important to note that the data from the ADS1251 is a
24-bit result transmitted MSB-first in Offset Binary Twos
Complement format, as shown in Table III.
The data must be clocked out before the ADS1251 enters
DRDY
mode to ensure reception of valid data, as described
in the
DOUT/DRDY
section of this data sheet.
