The ADS1259 is a high-linearity, low-drift, 24-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for the needs of industrial process control, precision instrumentation, and other exacting applications. Combined with a signal amplifier (such as the PGA280), a high-resolution, high-accuracy measurement system is formed that is capable of digitizing a wide range of signals. The converter uses a fourth-order, inherently stable, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator that provides outstanding noise and linearity performance. The data rates are programmable up to 14kSPS including 10SPS, 50SPS, and 60SPS that provide excellent normal mode line-cycle rejection. The digital filter can be programmed for a fast settling mode where the conversions settle in a single cycle, or programmed for a high line-cycle rejection mode. A fast responding input over-range detector flags the conversion data if an input over-range should occur. The ADS1259 also provides an integrated low-noise, very low drift 2.5V reference. The on-chip oscillator, an external crystal, or an external clock can by used as the ADC clock source. Data and control communication are handled over a 4MHz, SPI-compatible interface capable of operating with a minimum of three wires. Data integrity is augmented by data bytes checksum and redundant data read capability. Conversions are synchronized either by command or by pin. Dissipating only 13mW in operation, the ADS1259 can be powered down, dissipating less than 25µW. The ADS1259 is offered in a TSSOP-20 package and is fully specified from –40°C to +105°C.

The ADS125H01 is a ±20-V input, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC features a low-noise programmable gain amplifier (PGA), a clock oscillator, and signal or reference out-of-range monitors. The integration of a wide input range, ±18-V supply PGA and an ADC into a single package reduces board area up to 50% compared to discrete solutions.

The ADS1271 is a 24-bit, delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a data rate up to 105kSPS. It offers a unique combination of excellent DC accuracy and outstanding AC performance. The high-order, chopper-stabilized modulator achieves very low drift with low in-band noise. The onboard decimation filter suppresses modulator and signal out-of-band noise. The ADS1271 provides a usable signal bandwidth up to 90% of the Nyquist rate with less than 0.005dB of ripple. Traditionally, industrial delta-sigma ADCs offering good drift performance use digital filters with large passband droop. As a result, they have limited signal bandwidth and are mostly suited for DC measurements. High-resolution ADCs in audio applications offer larger usable bandwidths, but the offset and drift specification are significantly weaker than their industrial counterparts. The ADS1271 combines these converters, allowing high-precision industrial measurement with excellent DC and AC specifications ensured over an extended industrial temperature range. Three operating modes allow for optimization of speed, resolution, and power. A selectable SPI or a frame-sync serial interface provides for convenient interfacing to microcontrollers or DSPs. The output from the modulator is accessible for external digital filter applications. All operations, including internal offset calibration, are controlled directly by pins; there are no registers to program.
