ADS1251 and 8051 Code

ADS1251 and 8051 Code



Has anyone done this who can share the code?  Just to save me time.



Any gotchas?



I'd also quite like not to take every sample so I can use just the ADS1251 
to interrupt so it is both my clock and a data ready interrupt.  I suppose 
it would be best to at least take one bit of the result.



TIA,

   Bill

What Vladimir is trying to say is a project has 4 factors, quality, cost, time and experience.... changing only one of these factors effects the other factors Hence if you are in a hurry and have little experience and good quality is required.....expect to pay money for an answer or support from Vladimir.

Well, I have cobbled something together to get timing. Assuming Keil compiler (though only using assembler). Two ADS1251 share an SCLK line but have separate Data Ready lines.

Bill, I am curious to know which 8051 chip you assumed for your number of cycles per each instruction. Can you tell us? -- Niklas Holsti Tidorum Ltd niklas holsti tidorum fi . @ .

Hi, Yes, I'm workng with a SiLab C8051F064. The clock is typically 24.5 MHz so 24.5 cycles per microsecond. http://www.keil.com/dd/docs/datashts/silabs/c8051f06x.pdf (see page 126 for clocks/instruction). HTH, Bill

Vladimir seems to be a fairly regular poster here, and I seen several thing go by to convince me that his "chops" are pretty substantial. He's given a lot of advice to a lot of people here, for free. Conversely, he rarely sugar-coats things, and if he chooses to charge for his time, that's OK with me at least. Actually, I'm not sure (considering the brevity of his reply) that he was rejecting your request outright... -- Mark Moulding

Seems that they can't be daisy-chained, so that is the only easy way to go for two and minimum pin count to the micro.

I assume you have means by which you are elsewhere detecting the fact that the data is indeed ready (examining /DRDY, clearly.)

That approach seems fine and fast. Your total is slightly wrong, though, isn't it? (The execution time for a pair of bytes from each converter is 15*7+14+2+1 which equals 122 cycles, not 123. You forgot that although the DJNZ is executed 8 times, one of those times it only requires 2 cycles, not 3, since the jump doesn't take place.) Some thoughts might be to also consider either an exact 50% duty cycle for SCLK or else to arrange it so that the initial value of SCLK before entering the loop doesn't matter (allowing you to 'play', if you want.) Shooting for 50% SCLK duty cycle requires an extra cycle per loop. In this case: . . . ; Assume DOR_A and DOR_B are valid upon entry. ; SCLK assumed LOW to start and is operated at ; a very clean 50% duty cycle (8 cycles low ; and 8 cycles high.) mov r7, #8 ; reserved for bottom byte loop mov r6, #8 ; used for top and middle byte loops top_loop: mov c, DOR_A rlc a setb SCLK xch a, r3 mov c, DOR_B rlc a xch a, r3 mov r0, a clr SCLK djnz r6, top_loop mov r6, #8 mid_loop: mov c, DOR_A setb SCLK rlc a xch a, r4 mov c, DOR_B rlc a xch a, r4 clr SCLK mov r1, a djnz r6, mid_loop bot_loop: mov c, DOR_A rlc a setb SCLK xch a, r5 mov c, DOR_B rlc a xch a, r5 mov r2, a clr SCLK djnz r7, bot_loop . . . Whether or not you actually care about a clean 50% duty cycle is another matter, of course. If not, perhaps changing things so that the initial value of SCLK before entering the loop doesn't matter: ; Assume DOR_A and DOR_B are valid upon entry. ; Initial value of SCLK doesn't matter and the ; duty cycle is close to 33%/66%. mov r6, #8 top_loop: mov c, DOR_A rlc a mov c, DOR_B cpl SCLK xch a, r3 rlc a xch a, r3 cpl SCLK djnz r6, top_loop mov r0, a . . . Not much different, really. And your initial code was just fine. Just some minor twists on what you've already done. Jon

Thanks for that input Jon and I am grateful to hear you say I am on the right track. There is no pressure on a 50% duty cycle, so we will see how it works. I must admit I seldom worry about the DJNZ being 2 once as in reality things are not going to work if that matters (it allows me an error in the other direction elsewhere). There are some shenanigans about holding DOUT for some fairly precise number of cycles to force devices sharing SCLK to fall into synchronisation. That's going to be another stage of the battle. I was hoping TI (or someone) would have done this for n*ADS1251 sharing an SCLK. Hopefully, when I have done it (if, works, etc) I will post a copy here for the record. Regards, Bill
