3 Description

The ADS1220 is a precision, 24-bit, analog-to-digital

converter (ADC) that offers many integrated features

to reduce system cost and component count in

applications measuring small sensor signals. The

device features two differential or four single-ended

inputs through a flexible input multiplexer (MUX), a

low-noise, programmable gain amplifier (PGA), two

programmable excitation current sources, a voltage

reference, an oscillator, a low-side switch, and a

precision temperature sensor.

The device can perform conversions at data rates up

to 2000 samples-per-second (SPS) with single-cycle

settling. At 20 SPS, the digital filter offers

simultaneous 50-Hz and 60-Hz rejection for noisy

industrial applications. The internal PGA offers gains

up to 128 V/V. This PGA makes the ADS1220 ideallysuited

for applications measuring small sensor

signals, such as resistance temperature detectors

(RTDs), thermocouples, thermistors, and resistive

bridge sensors. The device supports measurements

of pseudo- or fully-differential signals when using the

PGA. Alternatively, the device can be configured to

bypass the internal PGA while still providing high

input impedance and gains up to 4 V/V, allowing for

single-ended measurements.

Power consumption is as low as 120 μA when

operating in duty-cycle mode with the PGA disabled.

The ADS1220 is offered in a leadless VQFN-16 or a

TSSOP-16 package and is specified over a

temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
