1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
The ADS131M08 is a eight-channel, simultaneouslysampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ), analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) that offers wide dynamic range, low
power, and energy-measurement-specific features,
making the device an excellent fit for energy metering,
power metrology, and circuit breaker applications. The
ADC inputs can be directly interfaced to a resistordivider network or a power transformer to measure
voltage or to a current transformer or a Rogowski coil
to measure current.

•
•
Electricity meters: commercial and residential
Circuit breakers
Protection relays
Power quality meters
Battery test equipment
Battery management systems
The individual ADC channels can be independently
configured depending on the sensor input. A lownoise, programmable gain amplifier (PGA) provides
gains ranging from 1 to 128 to amplify low-level
signals. Additionally, this device integrates channel-tochannel phase calibration and offset and gain
calibration registers to help remove signal-chain
errors.
A low-drift, 1.2-V reference is integrated into the
device reducing printed circuit board (PCB) area.
Optional cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs) on the
data input, data output, and register map maintain
communication integrity.
The complete analog front-end (AFE) is offered in a
32-pin TQFP package or a leadless 32-pin WQFN
package and is specified over the industrial
temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

7 Parameter Measurement Information
7.1 Noise Measurements
Adjust the data rate and gain to optimize the ADS131M08 noise performance. When averaging is increased by
reducing the data rate, noise drops correspondingly. Table 7-1 summarizes the ADS131M08 noise performance
using the 1.2-V internal reference and a 3.0-V analog power supply. The data are representative of typical noise
performance at TA = 25°C when fCLKIN = 8.192 MHz. The modulator clock frequency fMOD = fCLKIN / 2. The data
shown are typical input-referred noise results with the analog inputs shorted together and taking an average of
multiple readings across all channels. A minimum 1 second of consecutive readings are used to calculate the
RMS noise for each reading. Table 7-2 shows the dynamic range and effective resolution calculated from the
noise data. Equation 1 calculates dynamic range. Equation 2 calculates effective resolution. In each case, VREF
corresponds to the internal 1.2-V reference, or the voltage on the REFIN pin if the external reference is used. In
global-chop mode, noise is improved by a factor of √ 2.
The noise performance scales with the OSR and gain settings, but is independent from the configured power
mode. Thus, the device exhibits the same noise performance in different power modes when selecting the same
OSR and gain settings. However, the data rate at the OSR settings scales based on the applied clock frequency
for the different power modes.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The ADS131M08 is a low-power, eight-channel, simultaneously sampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-todigital converter (ADC) with a low-drift internal reference voltage. The dynamic range, size, feature set, and
power consumption are optimized for cost-sensitive applications requiring simultaneous sampling.
The ADS131M08 requires both analog and digital supplies. The analog power supply (AVDD – AGND) can
operate between 2.7 V and 3.6 V. An integrated negative charge pump allows absolute input voltages as low as
1.3 V below AGND, which enables measurements of input signals varying around ground with a single-ended
power supply. The digital power supply (DVDD – DGND) accepts both 1.8-V and 3.3-V supplies. The device
features a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with gains up to 128. An integrated input precharge buffer
enabled at gains greater than 4 ensures high input impedance at high PGA gain settings. The ADC receives its
reference voltage from an integrated 1.2-V reference. The device allows differential input voltages as large as
the reference. Three power-scaling modes allow designers to trade power consumption for ADC dynamic range.
Each channel on the ADS131M08 contains a digital decimation filter that demodulates the output of the ΔΣ
modulators. The filter enables data rates as high as 32 kSPS per channel in high-resolution mode. The relative
phase of the samples can be configured between channels, thus enabling an accurate compensation for the
sensor phase response. Offset and gain calibration registers can be programmed to automatically adjust output
samples for measured offset and gain errors. The Functional Block Diagram provides a detailed diagram of the
ADS131M08.
The device communicates via a serial programming interface (SPI)-compatible interface. Several SPI commands
and internal registers control the operation of the ADS131M08. Other devices can be added to the same SPI bus
by adding discrete CS control lines. The SYNC/RESET pin can be used to synchronize conversions between
multiple ADS131M08 devices as well as to maintain synchronization with external events.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Input ESD Protection Circuitry
Basic electrostatic discharge (ESD) circuitry protects the ADS131M08 inputs from ESD and overvoltage events
in conjunction with external circuits and assemblies. Figure 8-1 depicts a simplified representation of the ESD
circuit. The protection for input voltages exceeding AVDD can be modeled as a simple diode.
AVDD
AINnP
To analog inputs
AINnN
AVDD
Figure 8-1. Input ESD Protection Circuitry
The ADS131M08 has an integrated negative charge pump that allows for input voltages below AGND with a
unipolar supply. Consequently, shunt diodes between the inputs and AGND cannot be used to clamp excessive
negative input voltages. Instead, the same diode that clamps overvoltage is used to clamp undervoltage at its

the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
8.3.2 Input Multiplexer
Each channel of the ADS131M08 has a dedicated input multiplexer. The multiplexer controls which signals are
routed to the ADC channels. Configure the input multiplexer using the MUXn[1:0] bits in the CHn_CFG register.
The input multiplexer allows the following inputs to be connected to the ADC channel:
• The analog input pins corresponding to the given channel
• AGND, which is helpful for offset calibration
• Positive DC test signal
• Negative DC test signal
See the Internal Test Signals section for more information about the test signals. Figure 8-2 shows a diagram of
the input multiplexer on the ADS131M08.

8.3.3 Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
Each channel of the ADS131M08 features an integrated programmable gain amplifier (PGA) that provides gains
of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128. The gains for all channels are individually controlled by the PGAGAINn bits for
each channel in the GAIN1 register.
Varying the PGA gain scales the differential full-scale input voltage range (FSR) of the ADC. Equation 3
describes the relationship between FSR and gain. Equation 3 uses the internal reference voltage, 1.2 V, as the
scaling factor without accounting for gain error caused by tolerance in the reference voltage.
FSR = ±1.2 V / Gain
(3)
Table 8-1 shows the corresponding full-scale ranges for each gain setting, assuming the internal reference is
used.

The input impedance of the PGA dominates the input impedance characteristics of the ADS131M08. The PGA
input impedance for gain settings up to 4 behaves according to Equation 4 without accounting for device
tolerance and change over temperature. Minimize the output impedance of the circuit that drives the
ADS131M08 inputs to obtain the best possible gain error, INL, and distortion performance.

where:
•
fMOD is the ΔΣ modulator frequency, fCLKIN / 2
The device uses an input precharge buffer for PGA gain settings of 8 and higher. The input impedance at these
gain settings is very high. Specifying the input bias current for these gain settings is therefore more useful. A plot
of input bias current for the high gain settings is provided in Figure 6-5.
8.3.4 Voltage Reference
The ADS131M08 has two reference voltage options: the internal reference and an external reference. The
internal reference uses a low-drift band-gap voltage to supply the reference for the ADC. The internal reference
has a nominal voltage of 1.2 V, allowing the differential input voltage to swing from –1.2 V to 1.2 V. The reference
circuitry starts up very quickly to accommodate the fast-startup feature of this device. The device waits until after
the reference circuitry is fully settled before generating conversion data. Do not place any capacitance on the
REFIN pin if the current-detect mode is used. See the Current-Detect Mode section for more details about the
current-detect mode.
The device also allows for an external reference voltage, which can be input at the REFIN pin. The nominal
external reference voltage is 1.25 V. The full-scale range of the ADC is 1.2 V / gain when the reference voltage is
1.25 V. The ADC full-scale range maintains the ratio of 1.2 to 1.25 for all recommended reference voltages. For
example, the ADC full-scale range is 1.248 V / gain if 1.3 V is applied to the REFIN pin instead of the nominal
1.25 V. The startup time for the external reference is governed by the external circuitry.

8.3.5 Clocking and Power Modes
The master clock can either be sourced externally to the CLKIN pin or generated internally using the onboard
oscillator that requires a crystal connected between the XTAL1/CLKIN and XTAL2 pins. For optimal
performance, the modulator sampling clock must be synchronous with the serial data clock (SCLK). The
modulator sampling clock is derived from the master clock, which means the master clock must be synchronous
with SCLK. Therefore, for best performance, supply a master clock to CLKIN and make sure data retrieval is
synchronous to the clock signal at CLKIN. When not in use, turn the internal oscillator off to save power.
The PWR[1:0] bits in the CLOCK register allow the device to be configured in one of three power modes: highresolution (HR) mode, low-power (LP) mode, and very low-power (VLP) mode. Changing the PWR[1:0] bits
scales the internal bias currents to achieve the expected power levels. The external clock frequency must follow
the guidance provided in the Recommended Operating Conditions table corresponding to the intended power
mode in order for the device to perform according to the specification.
8.3.6 ΔΣ Modulator
The ADS131M08 uses a delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator to convert the analog input voltage to a one's density
modulated digital bit-stream. The ΔΣ modulator oversamples the input voltage at a frequency many times
greater than the output data rate. The modulator frequency, fMOD, of the ADS131M08 is equal to half the master
clock frequency, that is, fMOD = fCLKIN / 2.
The output of the modulator is fed back to the modulator input through a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) as a
means of error correction. This feedback mechanism shapes the modulator quantization noise in the frequency
domain to make the noise more dense at higher frequencies and less dense in the band of interest. The digital
decimation filter following the ΔΣ modulator significantly attenuates the out-of-band modulator quantization
noise, allowing the device to provide excellent dynamic range.
8.3.7 Digital Filter
The ΔΣ modulator bit-stream feeds into a digital filter. The digital filter is a linear phase, finite impulse response
(FIR), low-pass sinc-type filter that attenuates the out-of-band quantization noise of the ΔΣ modulator. The digital
filter demodulates the output of the ΔΣ modulator by averaging. The data passing through the filter is decimated
and downsampled, to reduce the rate at which data come out of the modulator (fMOD) to the output data rate
(fDATA). The decimation factor is defined as per Equation 5 and is called the oversampling ratio (OSR).
OSR = fMOD / fDATA
(5)
The OSR is configurable and set by the OSR[2:0] bits in the CLOCK register. There are OSR settings in the
ADS131M08, allowing different data rate settings for any given master clock frequency. Table 8-2 lists the OSR
settings and their corresponding output data rates for the nominal CLKIN frequencies mentioned.
The OSR determines the amount of averaging of the modulator output in the digital filter and therefore also the
filter bandwidth. The filter bandwidth directly affects the noise performance of the ADC because lower bandwidth
results in lower noise whereas higher bandwidth results in higher noise. See Table 7-1 for the noise
specifications for various OSR settings.

At power-up or after a device reset, the ADS131M08 selects the fast-settling filter to allow for settled output data
generation with minimal latency. The fast-settling filter has the characteristic of a first-order sinc filter (sinc1).
After two conversions, the device switches to and remains in the sinc3 filter path until the next time the device is
reset or powered cycled.

The fast-settling filter exhibits wider bandwidth and less stop-band attenuation than the sinc3 filter. Consequently,
the noise performance when using the fast-settling filter is not as high as with the sinc3 filter. The first two
samples available from the ADS131M08 after a supply ramp or reset have the noise performance and frequency
response corresponding to the fast-settling filter as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table, whereas
subsequent samples have the noise performance and frequency response consistent with the sinc3 filter. See
the Fast Startup Behavior section for more details regarding the fast startup capabilities of the ADS131M08.
8.3.7.1.2 SINC3 and SINC3 + SINC1 Filter
The ADS131M08 selects the sinc3 filter path two conversion after power-up or device reset. For OSR settings of
128 to 1024 the sinc3 filter output directly feeds into the global-chop and calibration logic. For OSR settings of
2048 and higher the sinc3 filter is followed by a sinc1 filter. As shown in Table 8-3, the sinc3 filter operates at a
fixed OSR of 1024 in this case while the sinc1 filter implements the additional OSRs of 2 to 16. That means when
an OSR of 4096 (for example) is selected, the sinc3 filter operates at an OSR of 1024 and the sinc1 filter at an
OSR of 4.
The filter has infinite attenuation at integer multiples of the data rate except for integer multiples of fMOD. Like all
digital filters, the digital filter response of the ADS131M08 repeats at integer multiples of the modulator
frequency, fMOD. The data rate and filter notch frequencies scale with fMOD.
When possible, plan frequencies for unrelated periodic processes in the application for integer multiples of the
data rate such that any parasitic effect they have on data acquisition is effectively cancelled by the notches of
the digital filter. Avoid frequencies near integer multiples of fMOD whenever possible because tones in these
bands can alias to the band of interest.
The sinc3 and sinc3 + sinc1 filters for a given channel require time to settle after a channel is enabled, the
channel multiplexer or gain setting is changed, or a resynchronization event occurs. See the Synchronization
section for more details on resynchronization. Table 8-3 lists the settling times of the sinc3 and sinc3 + sinc1
filters for each OSR setting. The ADS131M08 does not gate unsettled data. Therefore, the host must account for
the filter settling time and disregard unsettled data if any are read. The data at the next DRDY falling edge after
the filter settling time listed in Table 8-3 has expired can be considered fully settled.

8.3.8 DC Block Filter
The ADS131M08 includes an optional high-pass filter to eliminate any systematic offset or low-frequency noise.
The filter is enabled by writing any value in the DCBLOCK[3:0] bits in the CD_TH_LSB register besides 0h. The
DC block filter can be enabled and disabled on a channel-by-channel basis by the DCBLKn_DIS bit in the
CHn_CFG register for each respective channel.
Figure 8-8 shows the topology of the DC block filter. Coefficient a represents a register configurable value that
configures the cutoff frequency of the filter. The cutoff frequency is configured using the DCBLOCK[3:0] bits in
the CD_TH_LSB register. Table 8-4 describes the characteristics of the filter for various DCBLOCK[3:0] settings.
The data provided in Table 8-4 is provided for an 8.192-MHz CLKIN frequency and a 4-kSPS data rate. The
frequency response of the filter response scales directly with the frequency of CLKIN and the data rate.

8.3.9 Internal Test Signals
The ADS131M08 features an internal analog test signal that is useful for troubleshooting and diagnosis. A
positive or negative DC test signal can be applied to the channel inputs through the input multiplexer. The
multiplexer is controlled through the MUXn[1:0] bits in the CHn_CFG register. The test signals are created by
internally dividing the internal reference voltage. The same signal is shared by all channels.
The test signal is nominally 2 / 15 × VREF. The test signal automatically adjusts its voltage level with the gain
setting such that the ADC always measures a signal that is 2 / 15 × VDiff Max. For example, at a gain of 1, this
voltage equates to 160 mV. At a gain of 2, this voltage is 80 mV.
8.3.10 Channel Phase Calibration
The ADS131M08 allows fine adjustment of the sample phase between channels through the use of channel
phase calibration. This feature is helpful when different channels are measuring the outputs of different types of
sensors that have different phase responses. For example, in power metrology applications, voltage can be
measured by a voltage divider, whereas current is measured using a current transformer that exhibits a phase
difference between its input and output signals. The differences in phase between the voltage and current
measurement must be compensated to measure the power and related parameters accurately.
The phase setting of the different channels is configured by the PHASEn[9:0] bits in the CHn_CFG register
corresponding to the channel whose phase adjustment is desired. The register value is a 10-bit two's
complement value corresponding to the number of modulator clock cycles of phase offset compared to a
reference phase of 0 degrees.

SBAS950B – OCTOBER 2019 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2021
The mechanism for achieving phase adjustment derives from the ΔΣ architecture. The ΔΣ modulator produces
samples continuously at the modulator frequency, fMOD. These samples are filtered and decimated to the output
data rate by the digital filter. The ratio between fMOD and the data rate is the oversampling ratio (OSR). Each
conversion result corresponds to an OSR number of modulator samples provided to the digital filter. When the
different channels of the ADS131M08 have no programmed phase offset between them, the modulator clock
cycles corresponding to the conversion results of the different channels are aligned in the time domain. Figure
8-9 depicts an example scenario where the voltage input to channel 1 has no phase offset from channel 0.

However, the sample period of one channel can be shifted with respect to another. If the inputs to both channels
are sinusoids of the same frequency and the samples for these channels are retrieved by the host at the same
time, the effect is that the phase of the channel with the modified sample period appears shifted. Figure 8-10
depicts how the period corresponding to the samples are shifted between channels. Figure 8-11 illustrates how
the samples appear as having generated a phase shift when they are retrieved by the host.

The valid setting range is from –OSR / 2 to (OSR / 2) – 1, except for OSRs greater than 1024, where the phase
calibration setting is limited to –512 to 511. If a value outside of –OSR / 2 and (OSR / 2) – 1 is programmed, the
device internally clips the value to the nearest limit. For example, if the OSR setting is programmed to 128 and
the PHASEn[9:0] bits are programmed to 0001100100b corresponding to 100 modulator clock cycles, the device
sets the phase of the channel to 63 because that value is the upper limit of phase calibration for that OSR
setting. Table 8-5 gives the range of phase calibration settings for various OSR settings.

Follow these steps to create a phase shift larger than half the sample period for OSRs less than 2048:
• Create a phase shift corresponding to an integer number of sample periods by modifying the indices between
channel data in software
• Use the phase calibration function of the ADS131M08 to create the remaining fractional sample period phase
shift
For example, to create a phase shift of 2.25 samples between channels 0 and 1, create a phase shift of two
samples by aligning sample N in the channel 0 output data stream with sample N+2 in the channel 1 output data
stream in the host software. Make the remaining 0.25 sample adjustment using the ADS131M08 phase
calibration function.
The phase calibration settings of the channels affect the timing of the data-ready interrupt signal, DRDY. See the
Data Ready (DRDY) section for more details regarding how phase calibration affects the DRDY signal.
8.3.11 Calibration Registers
The calibration registers allow for the automatic computation of calibrated ADC conversion results from preprogrammed values. The host can rely on the device to automatically correct for system gain and offset after the
error correction terms are programmed into the corresponding device registers. The measured calibration
coefficients must be store in external non-volatile memory and programmed into the registers each time the
ADS131M08 powers up because the ADS131M08 registers are volatile.
The offset calibration registers are used to correct for system offset error, otherwise known as zero error. Offset
error corresponds to the ADC output when the input to the system is zero. The ADS131M08 corrects for offset
errors by subtracting the contents of the OCALn[23:0] register bits in the CHn_OCAL_MSB and
CHn_OCAL_LSB registers from the conversion result for that channel before being output. There are separate
CHn_OCAL_MSB and CHnOCAL_LSB registers for each channel, which allows separate offset calibration
coefficients to be programmed for each channel. The contents of the OCALn[23:0] bits are interpreted by the
device as 24-bit two's complement values, which is the same format as the ADC data.
The gain calibration registers are used to correct for system gain error. Gain error corresponds to the deviation of
gain of the system from its ideal value. The ADS131M08 corrects for gain errors by multiplying the ADC
conversion result by the value given by the contents of the GCALn[23:0] register bits in the CHn_GCAL_MSB
and CHn_GCAL_LSB registers before being output. There are separate CHn_GCAL_MSB and
CHn_GCAL_LSB registers for each channel, which allows separate gain calibration coefficients to be
programmed for each channel. The contents of the GCALn[23:0] bits are interpreted by the device as 24-bit
unsigned values corresponding to linear steps ranging from gains of 0 to 2 – (1 / 223). Table 8-6 describes the
relationship between the GCALn[23:0] bit values and the gain calibration factor.

The calibration registers do not need to be enabled because they are always in use. The OCALn[23:0] bits have
a default value of 000000h resulting in no offset correction. Similarly, the GCALn[23:0] bits default to 800000h
resulting in a gain calibration factor of 1.

8.3.12 Communication Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
The ADS131M08 features a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) engine on both input and output data to mitigate
SPI communication errors. The CRC word is 16 bits wide for either input or output CRC. Coverage includes all
words in the SPI frame where the CRC is enabled, including padded bits in a 32-bit word size.
CRC on the SPI input is optional and can be enabled and disabled by writing the RX_CRC_EN bit in the MODE
register. Input CRC is disabled by default. When the input CRC is enabled, the device checks the provided input
CRC against the CRC generated based on the input data. A CRC error occurs if the CRC words do not match.
The device does not execute any commands, except for the WREG command, if the input CRC check fails. A
WREG command always executes even when the CRC check fails. The device sets the CRC_ERR bit in the
STATUS register for all cases of a CRC error. The response on the output in the SPI frame following the frame
where the CRC error occurred is that of a NULL command, which means the STATUS register plus the
conversion data are output in the following SPI frame. The CRC_ERR bit is cleared when the STATUS register is
output.
The output CRC cannot be disabled and always appears at the end of the output frame. The host can ignore the
data if the output CRC is not used.
There are two types of CRC polynomials available: CCITT CRC and ANSI CRC (CRC-16). The CRC setting
determines the algorithm for both the input and output CRC. The CRC type is programmed by the CRC_TYPE
bit in the MODE register. Table 8-7 lists the details of the two CRC types.
The seed value of the CRC calculation is FFFFh.

8.3.13 Register Map CRC
The ADS131M08 performs a CRC on its own register map as a means to check for unintended changes to the
registers. Enable the register map CRC by setting the REG_CRC_EN bit in the MODE register. When enabled,
the device constantly calculates the register map CRC using each bit in the writable register space. The register
addresses covered by the register map CRC on the ADS131M08 are 02h through 30h. The CRC is calculated
beginning with the MSB of register 02h and ending with the LSB of register 30h using the polynomial selected in
the CRC_TYPE bit in the MODE register.
The calculated CRC is a 16-bit value and is stored in the REGMAP_CRC register. The calculation is done using
one register map bit per CLKIN period and constantly checks the result against the previous calculation. The
REG_MAP bit in the STATUS register is set to flag the host if the register map CRC changes, including changes
resulting from register writes. The bit is cleared by reading the STATUS register, or by the STATUS register being
output as a response to the NULL command.

8.4.1 Power-Up and Reset
The ADS131M08 is reset in one of three ways: by a power-on reset (POR), by the SYNC/RESET pin, or by a
RESET command. After a reset occurs, the configuration registers are reset to the default values and the device
begins generating conversion data as soon as a valid MCLK is provided. In all three cases a low to high
transition on the DRDY pin indicates that the SPI interface is ready for communication. The device ignores any
SPI communication before this point.
8.4.1.1 Power-On Reset
Power-on reset (POR) is the reset that occurs when a valid supply voltage is first applied. The POR process
requires tPOR from when the supply voltages reach 90% of their nominal value. Internal circuitry powers up and
the registers are set to their default state during this time. The DRDY pin transitions from low to high immediately
after tPOR indicating the SPI interface is ready for communication. The device ignores any SPI communication
before this point.
8.4.1.2 SYNC/RESET Pin
The SYNC/RESET pin is an active low, dual-function pin that generates a reset if the pin is held low longer than
tw(RSL). The device maintains a reset state until SYNC/RESET is returned high. The host must wait for at least
tREGACQ after SYNC/RESET is brought high or for the DRDY rising edge before communicating with the device.
Conversion data are generated immediately after the registers are reset to their default values, as described in
the Fast Startup Behavior section.
8.4.1.3 RESET Command
The ADS131M08 can be reset via the SPI RESET command (0011h). The device communicates in frames of a
fixed length. See the SPI Communication Frames section for details regarding SPI data framing on the
ADS131M08. The RESET command occurs in the first word of the data frame, but the command is not latched
by the device until the entire frame is complete. After the response completes channel data and CRC words are

clocked out. Terminating the frame early causes the RESET command to be ignored. Ten words are required to
complete a frame on the ADS131M08.
A reset occurs immediately after the command is latched. The host must wait for tREGACQ before communicating
with the device to ensure the registers have assumed their default settings. Conversion data are generated
immediately after the registers are reset to their default values, as described in the Fast Startup Behavior
section.
8.4.2 Fast Startup Behavior
The ADS131M08 begins generating conversion data shortly after startup as soon as a valid CLKIN signal is
provided to the ΔΣ modulators. The fast startup feature is useful for applications such as circuit breakers
powered from the mains that require a fast determination of the input voltage soon after power is applied to the
device. Fast startup is accomplished via two mechanisms. First, the device internal power-supply circuitry is
designed specifically to enable fast startup. Second, the digital decimation filter dynamically switches from a fastsettling filter to a sinc3 filter when the sinc3 filter has had time to settle.
After the supplies are ramped to 90% of their final values, the device requires tPOR for the internal circuitry to
settle. The end of tPOR is indicated by a transition of DRDY from low to high. The transition of DRDY from low to
high also indicates the SPI interface is ready to accept commands.
The ΔΣ modulators of the ADS131M08 require CLKIN to toggle after tPOR to begin working. The modulators
begin sampling the input signal after an initial wait time delay of (256 + 44) × tMOD when CLKIN begins toggling.
Therefore, provide a valid clock signal on CLKIN as soon as possible after the supply ramp to achieve the fastest
possible startup time.
The data generated by the ΔΣ modulators are fed to the digital filter blocks. The data are provided to both the
fast-settling filter and the sinc3 filter paths. The fast-settling filter requires only one data rate period to provide
settled data. Meanwhile, the sinc3 filter requires three data rate periods to settle. The fast-settling filter generates
the output data for the two interim ADC output samples indicated by DRDY transitioning from high to low while
the sinc3 filter is settling. The device disables the fast-settling filter and provides conversion data from the sinc3
filter path for the third and following samples. Figure 8-14 shows the behavior of the fast-startup feature when
using an external clock that is provided to the device right after the supplies have ramped. Table 8-8 shows the
values for the various startup and settling times relevant to the device startup.

the first samples immediately following startup, ignore the first two instances of DRDY toggling from high to low
and begin collecting data on the third instance.
The startup process following a RESET command or a pin reset using the SYNC/RESET pin is similar to what
occurs after power up. However there is no tPOR in the case of a command or pin reset because the supplies are
already ramped. After reset, the device waits for the initial wait time delay of (256 + 44) × tMOD before providing
modulator samples to the two digital filters. The fast-settling filter is enabled for the first two output samples.
8.4.3 Conversion Modes
There are two ADC conversion modes on the ADS131M08: continuous-conversion and global-chop mode.
Continuous-conversion mode is a mode where ADC conversions are generated constantly by the ADC at a rate
defined by fMOD / OSR. Global-chop mode differs from continuous-conversion mode because global-chop
periodically chops (or swaps) the inputs, which reduces system offset errors at the cost of settling time between
the points when the inputs are swapped. In either continuous-conversion or global-chop mode, there are three
power modes that provide flexible options to scale power consumption with bandwidth and dynamic range. The
Power Modes section discusses these power modes in further detail.
8.4.3.1 Continuous-Conversion Mode
Continuous-conversion mode is the mode in which ADC data are generated constantly at the rate of fMOD / OSR.
New data are indicated by a DRDY falling edge at this rate. Continuous-conversion mode is intended for
measuring AC signals because this mode allows for higher output data rates than global-chop mode.
8.4.3.2 Global-Chop Mode
The ADS131M08 incorporates a global-chop mode option to reduce offset error and offset drift inherent to the
device due to mismatch in the internal circuitry to very low levels. When global-chop mode is enabled by setting
the GC_EN bit in the GLOBAL_CHOP_CFG register, the device uses the conversion results from two
consecutive internal conversions taken with opposite input polarity to cancel the device offset voltage.
Conversion n is taken with normal input polarity. The device then reverses the internal input polarity for
conversion n + 1. The average of two consecutive conversions (n and n + 1, n + 1 and n + 2 and so on) yields
the final offset compensated result.
Figure 8-15 shows a block diagram of the global-chop mode implementation. The combined PGA and ADC
internal offset voltage is modeled as VOFS. Only this device inherent offset voltage is reduced by global-chop
mode. Offset in the external circuitry connected to the analog inputs is not affected by global-chop mode.

SBAS950B – OCTOBER 2019 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2021
Every time the device swaps the input polarity, the digital filter is reset. The ADC then always takes three internal
conversions to produce one settled global-chop conversion result.
The ADS131M08 provides a programmable delay (tGC_DLY) between the end of the previous conversion period
and the beginning of the subsequent conversion period after the input polarity is swapped. This delay is to allow
for external input circuitry to settle because the chopping switches interface directly with the analog inputs. The
GC_DLY[3:0] bits in the GLOBAL_CHOP_CFG register configure the delay after chopping the inputs. The
global-chop delay is selected in terms of modulator clock periods from 2 to 65,536 x tMOD.
The effective conversion period in global-chop mode follows Equation 8. A DRDY falling edge is generated each
time a new global-chop conversion becomes available to the host.
The conversion process of all ADC channels in global-chop mode is restarted in the following two conditions so
that all channels start sampling at the same time:
• Falling edge of SYNC/RESET pin
• Change of OSR setting
The conversion period of the first conversion after the ADC channels have been reset is considerably longer
than the conversion period of all subsequent conversions mentioned in Equation 8, because the device first
needs to perform two fully settled internal conversions with the input polarity swapped. The conversion period for
the first conversion in global-chop mode follows Equation 9.
tGC_CONVERSION = tGC_DLY + 3 × OSR x tMOD
(8)
tGC_FIRST_CONVERSION = tGC_DLY + 3 × OSR x tMOD + tGC_DLY + 3 × OSR x tMOD + 44 x tMOD
(9)
Using global-chop mode reduces the ADC noise shown in Table 7-1 at a given OSR by a factor of √2 because
two consecutive internal conversions are averaged to yield one global-chop conversion result. The DC test
signal cannot be measured in global-chop mode.
Phase calibration is automatically disabled in global-chop mode.
8.4.4 Power Modes
In both continuous-conversion and global-chop mode, there are three selectable power modes that allow scaling
of power with bandwidth and performance: high-resolution (HR) mode, low-power (LP) mode, and very-lowpower (VLP) mode. The mode is selected by the PWR[1:0] bits in the CLOCK register. See the Recommended
Operating Conditions table for restrictions on the CLKIN frequency for each power mode.
8.4.5 Standby Mode
Standby mode is a low-power state in which all channels are disabled, and the reference and other nonessential circuitry are powered down. This mode differs from completely powering down the device because the
device retains its register settings. Enter standby mode by sending the STANDBY command (0022h). Stop
toggling CLKIN when the device is in standby mode to minimize device power consumption. Exit standby mode
by sending the WAKEUP command (0033h). After exiting standby mode, the modulators begin sampling the
input signal after a modulator settling time of 8 × tMOD when CLKIN begins toggling.
8.4.6 Current-Detect Mode
Current-detect mode is a special mode that is helpful for applications requiring tamper detection when the
equipment is in a low-power state. In this mode, the ADS131M08 collects a configurable number of samples at a
nominal data rate of 2.7 kSPS and compares the absolute value of the results to a programmable threshold. If a
configurable number of results exceed the threshold, the host is notified via a DRDY falling edge and the device
returns to standby mode. Enter current-detect mode by providing a negative pulse on SYNC/RESET with a pulse
duration less than tw(RSL) when in standby mode. Current-detect mode can only be entered from standby mode.
The device uses a limited power operating mode to generate conversions in current-detect mode. The
conversion results are only used for comparison by the internal digital threshold comparator and are not
accessible by the host. The device uses an internal oscillator that enables the device to capture the data without
the use of the external clock input. Do not toggle CLKIN when in current-detect mode to minimize device power

consumption. Do not place a capacitor on the REFIN pin if current-detect mode is used. Capacitance on this pin
requires time to start up, and the resulting ADC conversions generated during current-detect mode are not valid
when the voltage on the REFIN pin is charging.
Current-detect mode is configured in the CFG, THRSHLD_MSB, and THRSHLD_LSB registers. Enable and
disable current-detect mode by toggling the CD_EN bit in the CFG register. The THRSHLD_MSB and
THRSHLD_LSB registers contain the CD_THRSH[23:0] bits that represent the digital comparator threshold
value during current detection.
The number of samples used for current detection are programmed by the CD_LEN[2:0] bits in the CFG register.
The number of samples used for current detection range from 128 to 3584.
The programmable values in CD_NUM[2:0] configure the number of samples that must exceed the threshold for
a detection to occur. The purpose of requiring multiple samples for detection is to control noisy values that may
exceed the threshold, but do not represent a high enough power level to warrant action by the host. In summary,
the conversion result must exceed the value programmed in CD_THRSH[23:0] a number of times as
represented by the value stored in CD_NUM[2:0].
The device can be configured to notify the host based on any of the results from either individual channels , all
channels, or any combination of channels. The CD_ALLCH bit in the CFG register determines how many
channels are required to exceed the programmed thresholds to trigger a current detection. When the bit is 1, all
enabled channels are required to meet the current detection requirements in order for the host to be notified. If
the bit is 0, any enabled channel triggers a current detection notification if the requirements are met. Enable and
disable channels using the CHn_EN bits in the CLK register to control which combination of channels must meet
the requirements to trigger a current-detection notification.
Figure 8-17 illustrates a flow chart depicting the current-detection process on the ADS131M08.

ADS131M08
SBAS950B – OCTOBER 2019 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2021
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 Interface
The ADS131M08 uses an SPI-compatible interface to configure the device and retrieve conversion data. The
device always acts as an SPI slave; SCLK and CS are inputs to the interface. The interface operates in SPI
mode 1 where CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 1. In SPI mode 1, the SCLK idles low and data are launched or changed
only on SCLK rising edges; data are latched or read by the master and slave on SCLK falling edges. The
interface is full-duplex, meaning data can be sent and received simultaneously by the interface. The device
includes the typical SPI signals: SCLK, CS, DIN (MOSI), and DOUT (MISO). In addition, there are two other
digital pins that provide additional functionality. The DRDY pin serves as a flag to the host to indicate new
conversion data are available. The SYNC/RESET pin is a dual-function pin that allows synchronization of
conversions to an external event and allows for a hardware device reset.
8.5.1.1 Chip Select (CS)
The CS pin is an active low input signal that selects the device for communication. The device ignores any
communication and DOUT is high impedance when CS is held high. Hold CS low for the duration of a
communication frame to ensure proper communication. The interface is reset each time CS is taken high.
8.5.1.2 Serial Data Clock (SCLK)
The SCLK pin is an input that serves as the serial clock for the interface. Output data on the DOUT pin transition
on the rising edge of SCLK and input data on DIN are latched on the falling edge of SCLK.
8.5.1.3 Serial Data Input (DIN)
The DIN pin is the serial data input pin for the device. Serial commands are shifted in through the DIN pin by the
device with each SCLK falling edge when the CS pin is low.
8.5.1.4 Serial Data Output (DOUT)
The DOUT pin is the serial data output pin for the device. The device shifts out command responses and ADC
conversion data serially with each rising SCLK edge when the CS pin is low. This pin assumes a highimpedance state when CS is high.
8.5.1.5 Data Ready (DRDY)
The DRDY pin is an active low output that indicates when new conversion data are ready in conversion mode or
that the requirements are met for current detection when in current-detect mode. Connect the DRDY pin to a
digital input on the host to trigger periodic data retrieval in conversion mode.
The timing of DRDY with respect to the sampling of a given channel on the ADS131M08 depends on the phase
calibration setting of the channel and the state of the DRDY_SEL[1:0] bits in the MODE register. Setting the
DRDY_SEL[1:0] bits to 00b configures DRDY to assert when the channel with the largest positive phase
calibration setting, or the most lagging, has a new conversion result. When the bits are 01b, the device asserts
DRDY each time any channel data are ready. Finally, setting the bits to either 10b or 11b configures the device to
assert DRDY when the channel with the most negative phase calibration setting, or the most leading, has new
conversion data. Changing the DRDY_SEL[1:0] bits has no effect on DRDY behavior in global-chop mode
because phase calibration is automatically disabled in global-chop mode.
The timing of the first DRDY assertion after channels are enabled or after a synchronization pulse is provided
depends on the phase calibration setting. If the channel that causes DRDY to assert has a phase calibration
setting less than zero, the first DRDY assertion can be less than one sample period from the channel being
enabled or the occurrence of the synchronization pulse. However, DRDY asserts in the next sample period if the
phase setting puts the output timing too close to the beginning of the sample period.
Table 8-9 lists the phase calibration setting boundary at which DRDY either first asserts within a sample period,
or in the next sample period. If the setting for the channel configured to control DRDY assertion is greater than
the value listed in Table 8-9 for each OSR, DRDY asserts for the first time within a sample period of the channel
being enabled or the synchronization pulse. If the phase setting value is equal to or more negative than the

The DRDY_HIZ bit in the MODE register configures the state of the DRDY pin when deasserted. By default the
bit is 0b, meaning the pin is actively driven high using a push-pull output stage. When the bit is 1b, DRDY
behaves like an open-drain digital output. Use a 100-kΩ pullup resistor to pull the pin high when DRDY is not
asserted.
The DRDY_FMT bit in the MODE register determines the format of the DRDY signal. When the bit is 0b, new
data are indicated by DRDY changing from high to low and remaining low until either all of the conversion data
are shifted out of the device, or remaining low and going high briefly before the next time DRDY transitions low.
When the DRDY_FMT bit is 1b, new data are indicated by a short negative pulse on the DRDY pin. If the host
does not read conversion data after the DRDY pulse when DRDY_FMT is 1b, the device skips a conversion
result and does not provide another DRDY pulse until the second following instance when data are ready
because of how the pulse is generated. See the Collecting Data for the First Time or After a Pause in Data
Collection section for more information about the behavior of DRDY when data are not consistently read.
The DRDY pulse is blocked when new conversions complete while conversion data are read. Therefore, avoid
reading ADC data during the time where new conversions complete in order to achieve consistent DRDY
behavior.
8.5.1.6 Conversion Synchronization or System Reset (SYNC/RESET)
The SYNC/RESET pin is a multi-function digital input pin that serves primarily to allow the host to synchronize
conversions to an external process or to reset the device. See the Synchronization section for more details
regarding the synchronization function. See the SYNC/RESET Pin section for more details regarding how the
device is reset.
8.5.1.7 SPI Communication Frames
SPI communication on the ADS131M08 is performed in frames. Each SPI communication frame consists of
several words. The word size is configurable as either 16 bits, 24 bits, or 32 bits by programming the
WLENGTH[1:0] bits in the MODE register.
The ADS131M08 implements a timeout feature for the SPI communication. Enable or disable the timeout using
the TIMEOUT bit in the MODE register. When enabled, the entire SPI frame (first SCLK to last SCLK) must
complete within 215 CLKIN cycles otherwise the SPI will reset. This feature is provided as a means to recover
SPI synchronization for cases where CS is tied low.
The interface is full duplex, meaning that the interface is capable of transmitting data on DOUT while
simultaneously receiving data on DIN. The input frame that the host sends on DIN always begins with a
command. The first word on the output frame that the device transmits on DOUT always begins with the
response to the command that was written on the previous input frame. The number of words in a command
depends on the command provided. For most commands, there are ten words in a frame. On DIN, the host
provides the command, the command CRC if input CRC is enabled or a word of zeros if input CRC is disabled,
and eight additional words of zeros. Simultaneously on DOUT, the device outputs the response from the
previous frame command, eight words of ADC data representing the eight ADC channels, and a CRC word.
Figure 8-18 illustrates a typical command frame structure.

Figure 8-18. Typical Communication Frame
There are some commands that require more than ten words. In the case of a read register (RREG) command
where more than a single register is read, the response to the command contains the acknowledgment of the
command followed by the register contents requested, which may require a larger frame depending on how
many registers are read. See the RREG (101a aaaa annn nnnn) section for more details on the RREG
command.
In the case of a write register (WREG) command where more than a single register is written, the frame extends
to accommodate the additional data. See the WREG (011a aaaa annn nnnn) section for more details on the
WREG command.
See the Commands section for a list of all valid commands and their corresponding responses on the
ADS131M08.
Under special circumstances, a data frame can be shortened by the host. See the Short SPI Frames section for
more information about artificially shortening communication frames.
8.5.1.8 SPI Communication Words
An SPI communication frame with the ADS131M08 is made of words. Words on DIN can contain commands,
register settings during a register write, or a CRC of the input data. Words on DOUT can contain command
responses, register settings during a register read, ADC conversion data, or CRC of the output data.
Words can be 16, 24, or 32 bits. The word size is configured by the WLENGTH[1:0] bits in the MODE register.
The device defaults to a 24-bit word size. Commands, responses, CRC, and registers always contain 16 bits of
actual data. These words are always most significant bit (MSB) aligned, and therefore the least significant bits
(LSBs) are zero-padded to accommodate 24- or 32-bit word sizes. ADC conversion data are nominally 24 bits.
The ADC truncates its eight LSBs when the device is configured for 16-bit communication. There are two options
for 32-bit communication available for ADC data that are configured by the WLENGTH[1:0] bits in the MODE
register. Either the ADC data can be LSB padded with zeros or the data can be MSB sign extended.
8.5.1.9 ADC Conversion Data
The device provides conversion data for each channel at the data rate. The time when data are available relative
to DRDY asserting is determined by the channel phase calibration setting and the DRDY_SEL[1:0] bits in the
MODE register when in continuous-conversion mode. All data are available immediately following DRDY
assertion in global-chop mode. The conversion status of all channels is available as the DRDY[7:0] bits in the
STATUS register. The STATUS register content is automatically output as the response to the NULL command.

SBAS950B – OCTOBER 2019 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2021
Conversion data are 24 bits. The data LSBs are truncated when the device operates with a 16-bit word size. The
LSBs are zero padded or the MSBs sign extended when operating with a 32-bit word size depending on the
setting of the WLENGTH[1:0] bits in the MODE register.
Data are given in binary two's complement format. Use Equation 10 to calculate the size of one code (LSB).
1 LSB = (2.4 / Gain) / 224 = +FSR / 223
(10)
A positive full-scale input VIN ≥ +FSR – 1 LSB = 1.2 / Gain – 1 LSB produces an output code of 7FFFFFh and a
negative full-scale input (VIN ≤ –FSR = –1.2 / Gain) produces an output code of 800000h. The output clips at
these codes for signals that exceed full-scale.
Table 8-10 summarizes the ideal output codes for different input signals.

8.5.1.9.1 Collecting Data for the First Time or After a Pause in Data Collection
Take special precaution when collecting data for the first time or when beginning to collect data again after a
pause. The internal mechanism that outputs data contains a first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer that can store two
samples of data per channel at a time. The DRDY flag for each channel in the STATUS register remains set until
both samples for each channel are read from the device. This condition is not obvious under normal
circumstances when the host is reading each consecutive sample from the device. In that case, the samples are
cleared from the device each time new data are generated so the DRDY flag for each channel in the STATUS
register is cleared with each read. However, both slots of the FIFO are full if a sample is missed or if data are not
read for a period of time. Either strobe the SYNC/RESET pin to re-synchronize conversions and clear the FIFOs,
or quickly read two data packets when data are read for the first time or after a gap in reading data. This process
ensures predictable DRDY pin behavior. See the Synchronization section for information about the
synchronization feature. These methods do not need to be employed if each channel data was read for each
output data period from when the ADC was enabled.

Figure 8-20 depicts an example of how to collect data after a period of the ADC running, but where no data are
being retrieved. In this instance, the SYNC/RESET pin is used to clear the internal FIFOs and realign the

Figure 8-20. Collecting Data After a Pause in Data Collection Using the SYNC/RESET Pin
Another functionally equivalent method for clearing the FIFO after a pause in collecting data is to begin by
reading two samples in quick succession. Figure 8-21 depicts this method. This example shows when the
DRDY_FMT bit in the MODE register is set to 0b indicating DRDY is a level output. There is a very narrow pulse
on DRDY immediately after the first set of data are shifted out of the device. This pulse may be too narrow for
some microcontrollers to detect. Therefore, do not rely upon this pulse but instead immediately read out the
second data set after the first data set. The host operates synchronous to the device after the second word is
read from the device.

When nnn nnnn is 0, the response is the requested register data dddd dddd dddd dddd. When nnn nnnn is greater than 0, the
response begins with 111a aaaa annn nnnn, followed by the register data.
In this case mmm mmmm represents the number of registers that are actually written minus one. This value may be less than nnn
nnnn in some cases.
8.5.1.10.1 NULL (0000 0000 0000 0000)
The NULL command is the no-operation command that results in no registers read or written, and the state of
the device remains unchanged. The intended use case for the NULL command is during ADC data capture. The
command response for the NULL command is the contents of the STATUS register. Any invalid command also
gives the NULL response.
8.5.1.10.2 RESET (0000 0000 0001 0001)
The RESET command resets the ADC to its register defaults. The command is latched by the device at the end
of the frame. A reset occurs immediately after the command is latched. The host must wait for tREGACQ after
reset before communicating with the device to ensure the registers have assumed their default settings. The
device sends an acknowledgment of FF28h when the ADC is properly RESET. The device responds with 0011h
if the command word is sent but the frame is not completed and therefore the device is not reset. See the
RESET Command section for more information regarding the operation of the reset command. Figure 8-22
illustrates a properly sent RESET command frame.

8.5.1.10.3 STANDBY (0000 0000 0010 0010)
The STANDBY command places the device in a low-power standby mode. The command is latched by the
device at the end of the frame. The device enters standby mode immediately after the command is latched. See
the Standby Mode section for more information. This command has no effect if the device is already in standby
mode.
8.5.1.10.4 WAKEUP (0000 0000 0011 0011)
The WAKEUP command returns the device to conversion mode from standby mode. This command has no
effect if the device is already in conversion mode.
8.5.1.10.5 LOCK (0000 0101 0101 0101)
The LOCK command locks the interface, preventing the device from accidentally latching unwanted commands
that can change the state of the device. When the interface is locked, the device only responds to the NULL,
RREG, and UNLOCK commands. The device continues to output conversion data even when locked.
8.5.1.10.6 UNLOCK (0000 0110 0110 0110)
The UNLOCK command unlocks the interface if previously locked by the LOCK command.
8.5.1.10.7 RREG (101a aaaa annn nnnn)
The RREG is used to read the device registers. The binary format of the command word is 101a aaaa annn
nnnn, where a aaaa a is the binary address of the register to begin reading and nnn nnnn is the unsigned binary
number of consecutive registers to read minus one. There are two cases for reading registers on the
ADS131M08. When reading a single register (nnn nnnn = 000 0000b), the device outputs the register contents in
the command response word of the following frame. If multiple registers are read using a single command (nnn
nnnn > 000 0000b), the device outputs the requested register data sequentially in order of addresses.

Multiple registers are read from the device when nnn nnnn is specified as a number greater than zero in the

8.5.1.10.8 WREG (011a aaaa annn nnnn)
The WREG command allows writing an arbitrary number of contiguous device registers. The binary format of the
command word is 011a aaaa annn nnnn, where a aaaa a is the binary address of the register to begin writing
and nnn nnnn is the unsigned binary number of consecutive registers to write minus one. Send the data to be
written immediately following the command word. Write the intended contents of each register into individual
words, MSB aligned.
If the input CRC is enabled, write this CRC after the register data. The registers are written to the device as they
are shifted into DIN. Therefore, a CRC error does not prevent an erroneous value from being written to a
register. An input CRC error during a WREG command sets the CRC_ERR bit in the STATUS register.
The device ignores writes to read-only registers or to out-of-bounds addresses. Gaps in the register map
address space are still included in the parameter nnn nnnn, but are not writeable so no change is made to them.
The response to the WREG command that occurs in the following frame appears as 010a aaaa ammm mmmm
where mmm mmmm is the number of registers actually written minus one. This number can be checked by the
host against nnn nnnn to ensure the expected number of registers are written.
Figure 8-25 shows a typical WREG sequence. In this example, the number of registers to write is larger than the
number of ADC channels and, therefore, the frame is extended beyond the ADC channels and output CRC
word. Ensure all of the ADC data and output CRC are shifted out during each transaction where new data are
available. Therefore, the frame must be extended beyond the number of words required to send the register data
in some cases.

8.5.1.11 Short SPI Frames
The SPI frame can be shortened to only send commands and receive responses if the ADCs are disabled and
no ADC data are being output by the device. Read out all of the expected output data words from each sample
period if the ADCs are enabled. Reading all of the data output with each frame ensures predictable DRDY pin
behavior. If reading out all the data on each output data period is not feasible, see the Collecting Data for the
First Time or After a Pause in Data Collection section on how to begin reading data again after a pause from
when the ADCs were last enabled.
A short frame is not possible when using the RESET command. A full frame must be provided for a device reset
to take place when providing the RESET command.

8.5.2 Synchronization
Synchronization can be performed by the host to ensure the ADC conversions are synchronized to an external
event. For example, synchronization can realign the data capture to the expected timing of the host if a glitch on
the clock causes the host and device to become out of synchronization.
Provide a negative pulse on the SYNC/RESET pin with a duration less than tw(RSL) but greater than a CLKIN
period to trigger synchronization. The device internally compares the leading negative edge of the pulse to its
internal clock that tracks the data rate. The internal data rate clock has timing equivalent to the DRDY pin if
configured to assert with a phase calibration setting of 0b. If the negative edge on SYNC/RESET aligns with the
internal data rate clock, the device is determined to be synchronized and therefore no action is taken. If there is
misalignment, the digital filters on the device are reset to be synchronized with the SYNC/RESET pulse.
Conversions are immediately restarted when the SYNC/RESET pin is toggled in global-chop mode.
The phase calibration settings on all channels are retained during synchronization. Thus, channels with non-zero
phase calibration settings generate conversion results less than a data rate period after the synchronization
event occurs. However, the results can be corrupted and are not settled until the respective channels have at
least three conversion cycles for the sinc3 filter to settle.

9 Application and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI
does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining
suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
9.1.1 Unused Inputs and Outputs
Leave any unused analog inputs floating or connect them to AGND.
Do not float unused digital inputs because excessive power-supply leakage current can result. Tie all unused
digital inputs to the appropriate levels, DVDD or DGND. Leave the DRDY pin unconnected or connect it to
DVDD using a weak pullup resistor if unused.
9.1.2 Antialiasing
An analog low-pass filter is required in front of each of the channel inputs to prevent out-of-band noise and
interferers from coupling into the band of interest. Because the ADS131M08 is a delta-sigma ADC, the
integrated digital filter provides substantial attenuation for frequencies outside of the band of interest up to the
frequencies adjacent to fMOD. Therefore, a single-order RC filter provides sufficient antialiasing protection in the
vast majority of applications.
Choosing the values of the resistor and capacitor depends on the desired cutoff frequency, limiting source
impedance for the ADC inputs, and providing enough instantaneous charge to the ADC input sampling circuit
through the filter capacitor. Figure 9-1 shows the recommended filter component values. These
recommendations are sufficient for CLKIN frequencies between 2 MHz and 8.2 MHz.

9.1.3 Minimum Interface Connections
Figure 9-2 depicts how the ADS131M08 can be configured for the minimum number of interface pins. This
configuration is useful when using data isolation to minimize the number of isolation channels required or when
the microcontroller (MCU) pins are limited.
The CLKIN pin requires an LVCMOS clock that can be either generated by the MCU or created using a local
LVCMOS output device. Tie the SYNC/RESET pin to DVDD in hardware if unused. The DRDY pin can be left
floating if unused. Connect either SYNC/RESET or DRDY to the MCU to ensure the MCU stays synchronized to
ADC conversions. If the MCU provides CLKIN, the CLKIN periods can be counted to determine the sample
period rather than forcing synchronization using the SYNC/RESET pin or monitoring the DRDY pin.
Synchronization cannot be regained if a bit error occurs on the clock and samples can be missed if the SYNC/
RESET or DRDY pins are not used. CS can be tied low in hardware if the ADS131M08 is the only device on the
SPI bus. Ensure the data input and output CRC are enabled and are used to guard against faulty register reads
and writes if CS is tied low permanently.
See the Clocking and Power Modes section for more information regarding synchronization and how to
implement the clocking scheme for optimized device performance.

9.1.4 Power Metrology Applications
Each channel of the ADS131M08 is identical, giving designers the flexibility to sense voltage or current with any
channel. Simultaneous sampling allows the application to calculate instantaneous power for any simultaneous
voltage and current measurement. This section provides a diagram depicting the common energy metrology
configuration that can be used with the ADS131M08. A Rogowski coil can alternatively be used to sense current
in the following example wherever a CT is used. The integration to determine the current flowing through the
Rogowski coil is done digitally if that modification is made. RC antialiasing filters are not shown in the following
diagrams for simplicity, but are recommended for all channels.
Figure 9-3 illustrates a three-phase configuration where live and neutral currents are monitored using CTs, the
phase voltages are measured using a voltage divider, and the final channel is used for an auxiliary
measurement. This auxiliary measurement can be temperature if connected to an external thermistor or other
voltage output temperature sensor. Otherwise, this measurement can sense any other signal that requires
monitoring on the board.

9.1.5 Multiple Device Configuration
Multiple ADS131M08 devices can be arranged to capture all signals simultaneously. The same clock must be
provided to all devices and the SYNC/RESET pins must be strobed simultaneously at least one time to align the
sample periods internally between devices. The phase settings of each device can be changed uniquely, but the
host must take care to record which channel in the group of devices represents the zero phase.
The devices can also share the SPI bus where only the CS pins for each device are unique. Each device can be
addressed sequentially by asserting CS for the device that the host wishes to communicate with. The DOUT pin
remains high impedance when the CS pin is high, allowing the DOUT lines to be shared between devices as
long as no two devices sharing the bus simultaneously have their CS pins low. Figure 9-4 shows multiple
devices configured for simultaneous data acquisition while sharing the SPI bus.
Monitoring the DRDY output of only one of the devices is sufficient because all devices convert simultaneously.

SBAS950B – OCTOBER 2019 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2021
9.1.6 Code Example
This section contains example pseudocode for a simple program that configures and streams data from the
ADS131M08. The pseudocode is written to resemble C code. The code uses several descriptive precompilerdefined constants that are indicated in upper case. The definitions are not included for brevity. The program
works in three sections: MCU initialization, ADC configuration, and data streaming. This code is not optimized for
using the fast startup feature of the ADS131M08.
The MCU is initialized by enabling the necessary peripherals for this example. These peripherals include an SPI
port, a GPIO configured as an input for the ADS131M08 DRDY output, a clock output to connect to the
ADS131M08 CLKIN input, and a direct memory access (DMA) module that streams data from the SPI port into
memory without significant processor intervention. The SPI port is configured to a 24-bit word size because the
ADC default SPI word size is 24 bits. The CS pin is configured to remain low as long as the SPI port is busy so
that it does not de-assert in the middle of a frame.
The ADC is configured through register writes. A function referred to as adcRegisterWrite writes an ADC register
using the SPI peripheral. No CRC data integrity is used in this example for simplicity, but is recommended. The
ADC outputs are initially disabled so short frames can be written during initialization consistent with the guidance
provided in the Short SPI Frames section. The ADC is configured to output DRDY as pulses, the gain is changed
to 32 for channels 1 and 3, and the DC block filter is used with a corner frequency of 622 mHz. Finally, the ADC
word size is changed to 32 bits with an MSB sign extension to accommodate the MCU memory length and to
allow for 32-bit DMA transfers. All other settings are left as defaults.
Data streaming is performed by using an interrupt that is configured to trigger on a negative edge received on
the GPIO connected to the DRDY pin. The interrupt service routine, referred to as DRDYinterrupt, sends six 32bit dummy words to assert CS and to toggle SCLK for the length of the entire ADC output frame. The ADC
output frame consists of one 32-bit status word, four 32-bit ADC conversion data words, and an optional 32-bit
CRC word. The frame is long enough for output CRC even though the CRC word is disabled in this example.
The DMA module is configured to trigger upon receiving data on the SPI input. The DMA automatically sends the
ADC data to a predetermined memory location as soon as the data are shifted into the MCU through the SPI
input.
