The differential inputs are ideal for direct connection to transduc- AND 16 BITS AT 1000Hz ers or low-level voltage signals. The delta-sigma architec- (cid:1) LOW POWER: 1.4mW ture is used for wide dynamic range and to ensure 22 bits of (cid:1) DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS no-missing-code performance. An effective resolution of 20 (cid:1) PROGRAMMABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER bits is achieved through the use of a very low-noise input (cid:1) SPI™ COMPATIBLE SSI INTERFACE amplifier at conversion rates up to 10Hz. Effective resolu- tions of 16 bits can be maintained up to a sample rate of (cid:1) PROGRAMMABLE CUTOFF FREQUENCY 1kHz through the use of the unique Turbo Modulator mode UP TO 6.25kHz of operation. The dynamic range of the converters is further (cid:1) INTERNAL/EXTERNAL REFERENCE increased by providing a low-noise programmable gain (cid:1) ON-CHIP SELF-CALIBRATION amplifier with a gain range of 1 to 16 in binary steps. (cid:1) ADS1213 INCLUDES 4-CHANNEL MUX The ADS1212 and ADS1213 are designed for high-resolution measurement applications in smart transmitters, industrial APPLICATIONS process control, weigh scales, chromatography and portable instrumentation. Both converters include a flexible synchro- (cid:1) INDUSTRIAL PROCESS CONTROL nous serial interface that is SPI compatible and also offers a (cid:1) INSTRUMENTATION two-wire control mode for low-cost isolation. (cid:1) BLOOD ANALYSIS The ADS1212 is a single channel converter and is offered in (cid:1) SMART TRANSMITTERS both DIP-18 and SO-18 packages. The ADS1213 includes a 4-channel input multiplexer and is available in DIP-24, (cid:1) PORTABLE INSTRUMENTS SO-24, and SSOP-28 packages.

It does not result in any change in input impedance design topology is based on a fully differential switched or modulator frequency, or any appreciable change in power capacitor architecture. Turbo Mode, a unique feature of the consumption. ADS1212/13, can be used to boost the sampling rate of the input capacitor, which is normally 7.8kHz with a 1MHz The ADS1212/13 also includes complete on-board calibra- clock. By programming the Command Register, the sam- tion that can correct for internal offset and gain errors or pling rate can be increased to 15.6kHz, 31.2kHz, 62.5kHz, limited external system errors. Internal calibration can be or 125kHz. Each increase in sample rate results in an run when needed, or automatically and continuously in the increase in performance when maintaining the same output background. System calibration can be run as needed and the data rate. appropriate input voltages must be provided to the ADS1212/ 13.

Using CS and Continuous Read Mode The recommended solution to this problem is to actively pull The serial interface may make use of the CS signal, or this SDIO LOW. If SDIO is LOW when the ADS1212/13 enters input may simply be tied LOW. There are several issues the instruction byte, then the resulting instruction is a write associated with choosing to do one or the other. of one byte of data to the Data Output Register, which results in no internal operation. The CS signal does not directly control the tri-state condition of the SDOUT or SDIO output. These signals are normally If the SDIO signal cannot be actively pulled LOW, then in the tri-state condition. They only become active when another possibility is to time the initialization of the serial data is being transmitted from the ADS1212/13.

There are two main uses of DSYNC. In the first case, DSYNC allows for synchronization of multiple converters. In regards to the DSYNC input pin, this case was discussed Two-Wire Interface under “Synchronizing Multiple Converters” in the Timing For a two-wire interface, the Master Mode of operation may section. In regards to the DSYNC bit, it will be difficult to be preferable. In this mode, serial communication occurs set all of the converter’s DSYNC bits at the same time only when data is ready, informing the main controller as to unless all of the converters are in the Slave Mode and the the status of the ADS1212/13. The disadvantages are that the same instruction can be sent to all of the converters at the ADS1212/13 must have a dedicated serial port on the main same time. controller and only one instruction can be issued per data ready period. The second use of DSYNC is to reset the modulator count to zero in order to obtain valid data as quickly as possible.

LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect. NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design. PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available. OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device. (2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may reference these types of products as "Pb-Free". RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption. Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement. (3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature. Addendum-Page 1
