ADS1240

The ADS1240 and ADS1241 are precision, wide dynamic range, delta-sigma, Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters with 24-bit resolution operating from 2.7V to 5.25V power supplies. The delta-sigma A/D converter provides up to 24 bits of no missing code performance and effective resolution of 21 bits.

The input channels are multiplexed. Internal buffering can be selected to provide very high input impedance for direct connection to transducers or low-level voltage signals. Burnout current sources are provided that allow for detection of an open or shorted sensor. An 8-bit Digital-to-Analog (D/A) converter provides an offset correction with a range of 50% of the Full-Scale Range (FSR).

The Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) provides selectable gains of 1 to 128, with an effective resolution of 19 bits at a gain of 128. The A/D conversion is accomplished with a 2nd-order delta-sigma modulator and programmable Finite-Impulse Response (FIR) filter that provides a simultaneous 50Hz and 60Hz notch. The reference input is differential and can be used for ratiometric conversion.

The serial interface is SPI compatible. Up to eight bits of data I/O are also provided that can be used for input or output. The ADS1240 and ADS1241 are designed for high-resolution measurement applications in smart transmitters, industrial process control,
