The ADS1244 is a 24-bit, delta-sigma Analog-to-Digital (A/D)
converter. It offers excellent performance and very low power
in an MSOP-10 package and is well suited for demanding
high-resolution measurements, especially in portable and
other space- and power-constrained systems.
A 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator and digital filter form the
basis of the A/D converter. The analog modulator has a ±5V
differential input range. The digital filter rejects both 50Hz
and 60Hz signals, completely settles in one cycle, and
outputs data at 15 samples per second.
A simple, 2-wire serial interface provides all the necessary
control. Data retrieval, self-calibration, and Sleep Mode are
handled with a few simple waveforms. When only single
conversions are needed, the ADS1244 can be shut down
(Sleep Mode) while idle between measurements to dramatically
reduce the overall power dissipation. Multiple ADS1244s
can be connected together to create a synchronously sampling
multichannel measurement system. The ADS1244 is
designed to easily connect to microcontrollers, such as the
MSP430.
The ADS1244 supports 2.5V to 5.25V analog supplies and
1.8V to 3.6V digital supplies. Power is typically less than
270uW in normal operation and less than 1uW during Sleep
Mode.
