ADS126X

A class to control the TI ADS1262 and ADS1263 analog to digital converters. This basically includes all functions of these two chips. Check the examples if it seems too complicated.

Note that all commands dealing with ACD2 are for the ADS1263 only, and have not been tested by me.

I tried to keep all commands in the order the datasheet is written in for ease of reading. Basic commands are on page 85, the register map is on page 88.

Table of Contents

Initialization

ADS126X

Starts the class.

void begin(uint8_t chip_select)

Sets up the chip and Arduino for usage. It also resets the chip. uint8_t chip_select is the Arduino pin used to start communication with the chip.

void begin()

The same as the above function, but without the chip select. If you use this, tie the CS pin on the chip to ground. I don't recommend using this.

void setStartPin(uint8_t pin)

Optional. Designate an Arduino pin to start ADC1. If not used, a command will be sent instead.

General Commands

void noOperation()

Tells the chip to stop everything. Future commands will wake it back up.

void reset()

Resets the chip.

void startADC1()

Starts conversion on ADC1.

void stopADC1()

Stops conversion on ADC1.

void startADC2()

Starts conversion on ADC2.

void stopADC2()

Stops conversion on ADC2.

Power Functions

I didn't know what else to call this category. All functions have to do with the POWER register.

bool checkResetBit()

Indicates ADC reset has occurred. If 1, a new reset has occured. This should be 1 at start.

void clearResetBit()

Sets the reset bit to 0.

void enableLevelShift()

Enables the internal level shift voltage to the AINCOM pin. Default disabled. VBIAS = (V_AVDD + V_AVSS)/2

void disableLevelShift()

Disables the internal level shift voltage to the AINCOM pin. Default disabled. VBIAS = (V_AVDD + V_AVSS)/2

void enableInternalReference()

Enables the 2.5V internal voltage reference. Note the IDAC and temperature sensor require the internal voltage reference. Enabled by default.

void disableInternalReference()

Disables the 2.5V internal voltage reference. Note the IDAC and temperature sensor require the internal voltage reference. Enabled by default.

Checksum Functions

If enabled, the chip will send a checksum during a voltage read to verify the data was sent correctly. These functions will set the mode, and return the verification.

void disableCheck()

Disable the checksum.

void setChecksumMode()

Make the device return a checksum value.

void setCRCMode()

Make the device return a CRC value.

bool lastChecksum()

Return the computed last checksum/CRC value. If 0, the data was transmitted correctly.

Status Functions

If enabled, the chip will send the status of various parameters as part of each voltage read. All functions below will use the most recent status sent from the chip.

void enableStatus()

Enables the chip sending the status. Default enabled.

void disableStatus()

Disables the chip sending the status.

uint8_t lastStatus()

Returns the most recent status byte. More for debugging than anything.

bool lastADC2Status()

If 1, ADC2 data is new since the last ADC2 read operation.

bool lastADC1Status()

If 1, ADC1 data is new since the last ADC1 read operation.

bool lastClockSource()

If 0, ADC clock is internal. If 1, ADC clock is external.

bool lastADC1LowReferenceAlarm()

This is the low reference voltage alarm of ADC1. The alarm bit is set if V_REF <= 0.4V, typical. If 0, no alarm. If 1, low reference alarm.

bool lastADC1PGAOutputLowAlarm()

This is the ADC1 PGA absolute low voltage alarm. The bit is set if the absolute voltage of either PGA output is less than V_AVSS + 0.2V. See the PGA Absolute Output-Voltage Monitor section of the datasheet. If 0, no alarm If 1, PGA high voltage alarm

bool lastADC1PGAOutputHighAlarm()

This is the ADC1 PGA absolute high voltage alarm. The bit is set if the absolute voltage of either PGA output is greater than V_AVDD - 0.2V. See the PGA Absolute Output-Voltage Monitor section of the datasheet. If 0, no alarm If 1, PGA high voltage alarm

bool lastADC1PGADifferentialOutputAlarm()

This is the ADC1 PGA differential output range alarm. This bit is set if the PGA differential output voltage exceeds +105% FS or -105% FS. See the PGA Differential Output Monitor section of the datasheet. If 0, no alarm If 1, PGA differential range alarm

bool lastReset()

Indicates device reset. Device reset occurs at power-on, by the RESET/PWDN pin or by the reset command. This bit is the same as the RESET bit of the POWER register. If 0, no reset occurred since the RESET bit in power register last cleared by the user. If 1, device reset occurred
