The ADS1216 is a precision, wide dynamic range, · 0.0015% INL delta-sigma, Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter with · 22 BITS EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION 24-bit resolution operating from 2.7V to 5.25V (PGA = 1), 19 BITS (PGA = 128) supplies. The delta-sigma A/D converter provides up to 24 bits of no-missing-code performance and an · PGA FROM 1 TO 128 effective resolution of 22 bits. · SINGLE-CYCLE SETTLING MODE The eight input channels are multiplexed. Internal · PROGRAMMABLE DATA OUTPUT RATES: buffering can be selected to provide a very high input up to 1kHz impedance for direct connection to transducers or · ON-CHIP 1.25V/2.5V REFERENCE low-level voltage signals. Burnout current sources are provided that allow for the detection of an open · EXTERNAL DIFFERENTIAL REFERENCE: or shorted sensor. An 8-bit Digital-to-Analog 0.1V to 2.5V Converter (DAC) provides an offset correction with a · ON-CHIP CALIBRATION range of 50% of the FSR (Full-Scale Range). · SPI™-COMPATIBLE The PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier) provides · 2.7V TO 5.25V selectable gains of 1 to 128 with an effective · < 1mW POWER CONSUMPTION resolution of 19 bits at a gain of 128. The A/D conversion is accomplished with a second-order delta-sigma modulator and programmable sinc filter. The reference input is differential and can be used · INDUSTRIAL PROCESS CONTROL for ratiometric cancellation. The onboard current · LIQUID/GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY DACs operate independently with the maximum · BLOOD ANALYSIS current set by an external resistor. · SMART TRANSMITTERS The serial interface is SPI-compatible. Eight bits of · PORTABLE INSTRUMENTATION digital I/O are also provided that can be used for · WEIGHT SCALES input or output.
