Hi I'm trying to work about the AD7731 24 bit sigma-deltaAD converter, but I 've some problems:
What mean "Active low input"?
Does any one has a scheme about this ADC?
Thanks

Active Low: This input will be active on a logic level 0,or 0V
You may find some timing diagram in your datasheet. Look how it goes.
Thanks
I've find the problem, I didn't connect the STANDBY pin of the AD7731, now it works fine.
The problem now is with 24bit numbers with PBP! (I'm work around)
P.S.: in some codes on the net, I've seen that the Proton PicBasic works with decimal numbers, it is right?
I've write a code that read the Data OUT of the AD7731, but i note that the most significant bit continuosly change??
I've setted the part to unipolar mode.
Is it possible to send your schematic and code here?
Here is my code, for the schematic I'm drawing it...

does any one has experience with this ADC?
If i refer to the datasheet, they suggest 33pF capacitor wit a 4.9152MHz crystal.
Try increasing the capacitor value first.
Do you think that the cap difference could be the cause of the ADC instability?
could be... i've never use this converter, i'm not on your bench, i don't see how you place it on your board (prototype or not) and unfortunately my scope probe are not long enough to reach you :D
could also be the supply line, wind direction or alien invasion... who knows ?
I'm trying with 33pF cap, but nothing new
Uhau!
I've found the problem! It isn't the AD7731, but the PIC, I've used the MSBPRE mode to read the data, changing to MSBPOST, it works very fine!!
Thanks
DOH! i should see it before :(
Even a superhero may fail :D
Congratulation!
Hi everybody,
I have this module at home and i would like to experiment to get the same result but with a PIC16F628A. Will it work?.
I've seen the schematics and all seems to be fit into the processor i am trying to use.
I dont have any idea if the original creator of this thread is still active, but this project seems very exciting to me.
