3 Description

The ADS1285 is a 32-bit, low-power, analog-to-digital

converter (ADC), with a programmable gain amplifier

(PGA) and a finite impulse response (FIR) filter.

The ADC is designed for the demanding needs of

seismology equipment requiring low-noise precision

digitization and extended battery run time.

The low-noise PGA allows direct connection of

geophones and transformer-coupled hydrophones

without the need of an external amplifier.

The ADC incorporates a high-resolution, delta-sigma

(ΔΣ) modulator and a FIR filter with programmable

phase response. The high-pass filter removes dc

and low-frequency content from the signal. Clock

frequency error is compensated by the sample rate

converter with 7-ppb resolution.

Choice of power modes optimize dynamic range

verses power consumption. Power consumption is

further reduced by PGA bypass operation.

The ADC is available in a compact 5-mm × 5-mm

VQFN package and is fully specified over the –40°C

to +85°C ambient temperature range.
