The ADS1118 integrates a programmable gain amplifier (PGA), voltage reference, oscillator and high-accuracy temperature sensor. These features, along with a wide power supply range from 2 V to 5.5 V, make the ADS1118 ideally suited for power- and spaceconstrained, sensor-measurement applications. 1 • • • • • • • • • Ultrasmall X2QFN Package: 2 mm × 1.5 mm × 0.4 mm Wide Supply Range: 2 V to 5.5 V Low Current Consumption: – Continuous Mode: Only 150 μA – Single-Shot Mode: Automatic Power Down Programmable Data Rate: 8 SPS to 860 SPS Single-Cycle Settling Internal Low-Drift Voltage Reference Internal Temperature Sensor: 0.5°C (Maximum) Error: 0°C to 70°C Internal Oscillator Internal PGA Four Single-Ended or Two Differential Inputs The ADS1118 can perform conversions at data rates up to 860 samples per second (SPS). The PGA offers input ranges from ±256 mV to ±6.144 V, allowing both large and small signals to be measured with high resolution. An input multiplexer (MUX) allows to measure two differential or four single-ended inputs. The high-accuracy temperature sensor can be used for system-level temperature monitoring or coldjunction compensation for thermocouples. 2 Applications • • • The ADS1118 operates either in continuousconversion mode, or in a single-shot mode that automatically powers down after a conversion. Single-shot mode significantly reduces current consumption during idle periods. Data are transferred through a serial peripheral interface (SPI™). The ADS1118 is specified from –40°C to +125°C.

The input signal of a ΔΣ ADC is sampled at a high frequency (modulator frequency) and subsequently filtered and decimated in the digital domain to yield a conversion result at the respective output data rate. The ratio between modulator frequency and output data rate is called oversampling ratio (OSR). By increasing the OSR, and thus reducing the output data rate, the noise performance of the ADC can be optimized. In other words, the inputreferred noise drops when reducing the output data rate because more samples of the internal modulator are averaged to yield one conversion result. Increasing the gain also reduces the input-referred noise, which is particularly useful when measuring low-level signals. Table 1 and Table 2 summarize the device noise performance. Data are representative of typical noise performance at TA = 25°C with the inputs shorted together externally. Table 1 show the input-referred noise in units of μVRMS for the conditions shown. Note that µVPP values are shown in parenthesis. Table 2 shows the corresponding data in effective number of bits (ENOB) calculated from μVRMS values using Equation 1. The noise-free bits calculated from peak-to-peak noise values using Equation 2 are shown in parenthesis.

The ADS1118 consists of a ΔΣ ADC core with adjustable gain, an internal voltage reference, a clock oscillator, and an SPI. This device is also a highly linear and accurate temperature sensor. All of these features are intended to reduce required external circuitry and improve performance. Functional Block Diagram shows the ADS1118 functional block diagram. The ADS1118 ADC core measures a differential signal, VIN, that is the difference of V(AINP) and V(AINN). The converter core consists of a differential, switched-capacitor ΔΣ modulator followed by a digital filter. This architecture results in a very strong attenuation in any common-mode signals. Input signals are compared to the internal voltage reference. The digital filter receives a high-speed bitstream from the modulator and outputs a code proportional to the input voltage. The ADS1118 has two available conversion modes: single-shot mode and continuous conversion mode. In single-shot mode, the ADC performs one conversion of the input signal upon request and stores the value to an internal conversion register. The device then enters a power-down state. This mode is intended to provide significant power savings in systems that require only periodic conversions or when there are long idle periods between conversions. In continuous conversion mode, the ADC automatically begins a conversion of the input signal as soon as the previous conversion is completed. The rate of continuous conversion is equal to the programmed data rate. Data can be read at any time and always reflect the most recently completed conversion. 9.2 Functional Block Diagram VDD Device Voltage Reference Mux CS AIN0 SCLK AIN1 PGA 16-Bit ΔΣ ADC Serial Peripheral Interface DIN DOUT/DRDY AIN2 Oscillator AIN3 Temperature Sensor GND Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS1118 17 ADS1118 SBAS457F – OCTOBER 2010 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2019 www.ti.com 9.3 Feature Description 9.3.1 Multiplexer The ADS1118 contains an input multiplexer (mux), as shown in Figure 35. Either four single-ended or two differential signals can be measured. Additionally, AIN0, AIN1, and AIN2 can be measured differentially to AIN3. The multiplexer is configured by bits MUX[2:0] in the Config register. When single-ended signals are measured, the negative input of the ADC is internally connected to GND by a switch within the multiplexer. VDD Device AIN0 VDD GND AINP AIN1 AINN VDD GND AIN2 VDD GND AIN3 GND GND Figure 35. Input Multiplexer When measuring single-ended inputs, the device does not output negative codes. These negative codes indicate negative differential signals; that is, (V(AINP) – V(AINN)) < 0. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) diodes to VDD and GND protect the ADS1118 inputs. To prevent the ESD diodes from turning on, keep the absolute voltage on any input within the range given in Equation 3: GND – 0.3 V < V(AINx) < VDD + 0.3 V (3) If the voltages on the input pins can possibly violate these conditions, use external Schottky diodes and series resistors to limit the input current to safe values (see the Absolute Maximum Ratings table). Also, overdriving one unused input on the ADS1118 may affect conversions currently taking place on other input pins. If overdriving unused inputs is possible, clamp the signal with external Schottky diodes. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS1118 ADS1118 www.ti.com SBAS457F – OCTOBER 2010 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2019 Feature Description (continued) 9.3.2 Analog Inputs The ADS1118 uses a switched-capacitor input stage where capacitors are continuously charged and then discharged to measure the voltage between AINP and AINN. This frequency at which the input signal is sampled is called the sampling frequency or the modulator frequency (f(MOD)). ADS1118 has a 1 MHz internal oscillator which is further divided by a factor of 4 to generate the modulator frequency at 250 kHz. The capacitors used in this input stage are small, and to external circuitry, the average loading appears resistive. This structure is shown in Figure 36. The resistance is set by the capacitor values and the rate at which they are switched. Figure 37 shows the setting of the switches illustrated in Figure 36. During the sampling phase, switches S1 are closed. This event charges CA1 to V(AINP), CA2 to V(AINN), and CB to (V(AINP) – V(AINN)). During the discharge phase, S1 is first opened and then S2 is closed. Both CA1 and CA2 then discharge to approximately 0.7 V and CB discharges to 0 V. This charging draws a very small transient current from the source driving the ADS1118 analog inputs. The average value of this current can be used to calculate the effective impedance (Zeff), where Zeff = VIN / IAVERAGE. 0.7 V CA1 AINP S1 ZCM S2 0.7 V Equivalent Circuit AINP CB S1 ZDIFF S2 AINN AINN 0.7 V CA2 ZCM f(MOD) = 250 kHz 0.7 V Figure 36. Simplified Analog Input Circuit tSAMPLE ON S1 OFF ON S2 OFF Figure 37. S1 and S2 Switch Timing The common-mode input impedance is measured by applying a common-mode signal to the shorted AINP and AINN inputs and measuring the average current consumed by each pin. The common-mode input impedance changes depending on the full-scale range, but is approximately 6 MΩ for the default full-scale range. In Figure 36, the common-mode input impedance is ZCM. The differential input impedance is measured by applying a differential signal to AINP and AINN inputs where one input is held at 0.7 V. The current that flows through the pin connected to 0.7 V is the differential current and scales with the full-scale range. In Figure 36, the differential input impedance is ZDIFF. Make sure to consider the typical value of the input impedance. Unless the input source has a low impedance, the ADS1118 input impedance may affect the measurement accuracy. For sources with high-output impedance, buffering may be necessary. Active buffers introduce noise, and also introduce offset and gain errors. Consider all of these factors in high-accuracy applications. The clock oscillator frequency drifts slightly with temperature; therefore, the input impedances also drift. For most applications, this input impedance drift is negligible, and can be ignored.

The full-scale range is configured by three bits (PGA[2:0]) in the Config Register and can be set to ±6.144 V, ±4.096 V, ±2.048 V, ±1.024 V, ±0.512 V, ±0.256 V. Table 3 shows the FSR together with the corresponding LSB size. LSB size is calculated from full-scale voltage by the formula shown in Equation 4. However, analog input voltages may never exceed the analog input voltage limits given in the Electrical Characteristics. If a supply voltage of VDD greater than 4 V is used, the ±6.144 V full-scale range allows input voltages to extend up to the supply. Note though that in this case, or whenever the supply voltage is less than the full-scale range (for example, VDD = 3.3 V and fullscale range = ±4.096 V), a full-scale ADC output code cannot be obtained. This inability means that some dynamic range is lost. LSB = FSR / 216 (4) Table 3.

No more than VDD + 0.3 V must be applied to this device. 9.3.4 Voltage Reference The ADS1118 has an integrated voltage reference. An external reference cannot be used with this device. Errors associated with the initial voltage reference accuracy and the reference drift with temperature are included in the gain error and gain drift specifications in the Electrical Characteristics. 9.3.5 Oscillator The ADS1118 has an integrated oscillator running at 1 MHz. No external clock is required to operate the device. Note that the internal oscillator drifts over temperature and time. The output data rate will scale proportional with the oscillator frequency. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS1118 ADS1118 www.ti.com SBAS457F – OCTOBER 2010 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2019 9.3.6 Temperature Sensor The ADS1118 offers an integrated precision temperature sensor. The temperature sensor mode is enabled by setting bit TS_MODE = 1 in the Config Register. Temperature data are represented as a 14-bit result that is leftjustified within the 16-bit conversion result. Data are output starting with the most significant byte (MSB). When reading the two data bytes, the first 14 bits are used to indicate the temperature measurement result. One 14-bit LSB equals 0.03125°C. Negative numbers are represented in binary twos complement format, as shown in Table 4. Table 4. 14-Bit Temperature Data Format TEMPERATURE (°C) DIGITAL OUTPUT (BINARY) HEX 128 01 0000 0000 0000 1000 127.96875 00 1111 1111 1111 0FFF 100 00 1100 1000 0000 0C80 75 00 1001 0110 0000 0960 50 00 0110 0100 0000 0640 25 00 0011 0010 0000 0320 0.25 00 0000 0000 1000 0008 0.03125 00 0000 0000 0001 0001 0 00 0000 0000 0000 0000 –0.25 11 1111 1111 1000 3FF8 –25 11 1100 1110 0000 3CE0 –40 11 1011 0000 0000 3B00 9.3.6.1 Converting from Temperature to Digital Codes For positive temperatures: Twos complement is not performed on positive numbers. Therefore, simply convert the number to binary code in a 14-bit, left justified format with the MSB = 0 to denote the positive sign. Example: 50°C / (0.03125°C/count) = 1600 = 0640h = 00 0110 0100 0000 For negative temperatures: Generate the twos complement of a negative number by complementing the absolute binary number and adding 1. Then denote the negative sign with the MSB = 1. Example: |–25°C| / (0.03125°C/count) = 800 = 0320h = 00 0011 0010 0000 Twos complement format: 11 1100 1101 1111 + 1 = 11 1100 1110 0000 9.3.6.2 Converting from Digital Codes to Temperature To convert from digital codes to temperature, first check whether the MSB is a 0 or a 1. If the MSB is a 0, simply multiply the decimal code by 0.03125°C to obtain the result. If the MSB = 1, subtract 1 from the result and complement all of the bits. Then multiply the result by –0.03125°C. Example: The device reads back 0960h: 0960h has an MSB = 0. 0960h × 0.03125°C = 2400 × 0.03125°C = 75°C Example: The device reads back 3CE0h: 3CE0h has an MSB = 1. Subtract 1 and complement the result: 3CE0h → 0320h 0320h × (–0.03125°C) = 800 × (–0.03125°C) = –25°C Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS1118 21 ADS1118 SBAS457F – OCTOBER 2010 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2019 www.ti.com 9.4 Device Functional Modes 9.4.1 Reset and Power Up When the ADS1118 powers up, a reset is performed. As part of the reset process, the ADS1118 sets all of its bits in the Config Register to the respective default settings. By default, the ADS1118 enters a power-down state at start-up. The device interface and digital blocks are active, but no data conversions are performed. The initial power-down state of the ADS1118 is intended to relieve systems with tight power-supply requirements from encountering a surge during power up. 9.4.2 Operating Modes The ADS1118 operates in one of two modes: continuous-conversion or single-shot. The MODE bit in the Config register selects the respective operating mode. 9.4.2.1 Single-Shot Mode and Power-Down When the MODE bit in the Config register is set to 1, the ADS1118 enters a power-down state, and operates in single-shot mode. This power-down state is the default state for the ADS1118 when power is first applied. Although powered down, the device still responds to commands. The ADS1118 remains in this power-down state until a 1 is written to the single-shot (SS) bit in the Config register. When the SS bit is asserted, the device powers up, resets the SS bit to 0, and starts a single conversion. When conversion data are ready for retrieval, the device powers down again. Writing a 1 to the SS bit while a conversion is ongoing has no effect. To switch to continuous-conversion mode, write a 0 to the MODE bit in the Config register. 9.4.2.2 Continuous-Conversion Mode In continuous-conversion mode (MODE bit set to 0), the ADS1118 continuously performs conversions. When a conversion completes, the ADS1118 places the result in the Conversion register and immediately begins another conversion. To switch to single-shot mode, write a 1 to the MODE bit in the Config register, or reset the device. 9.4.3 Duty Cycling for Low Power The noise performance of a ΔΣ ADC generally improves when lowering the output data rate because more samples of the internal modulator can be averaged to yield one conversion result. In applications where power consumption is critical, the improved noise performance at low data rates may not be required. For these applications, the ADS1118 supports duty cycling that can yield significant power savings by periodically requesting high data rate readings at an effectively lower data rate. For example, an ADS1118 in power-down state with a data rate set to 860 SPS can be operated by a microcontroller that instructs a single-shot conversion every 125 ms (8 SPS). Because a conversion at 860 SPS only requires approximately 1.2 ms, the ADS1118 enters power-down state for the remaining 123.8 ms. In this configuration, the ADS1118 consumes approximately 1/100th the power that is otherwise consumed in continuous conversion mode. The duty cycling rate is completely arbitrary and is defined by the master controller. The ADS1118 offers lower data rates that do not implement duty cycling and also offers improved noise performance if required. 22 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS1118 ADS1118 www.ti.com SBAS457F – OCTOBER 2010 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2019 9.5 Programming 9.5.1 Serial Interface The SPI-compatible serial interface consists of either four signals (CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT/DRDY), or three signals (in which case CS may be tied low). The interface is used to read conversion data, read and write registers, and control device operation. 9.5.2 Chip Select (CS) The chip select pin (CS) selects the ADS1118 for SPI communication. This feature is useful when multiple devices share the same serial bus. Keep CS low for the duration of the serial communication. When CS is taken high, the serial interface is reset, SCLK is ignored, and DOUT/DRDY enters a high-impedance state. In this state, DOUT/DRDY cannot provide data-ready indication. In situations where multiple devices are present and DOUT/DRDY must be monitored, lower CS periodically. At this point, the DOUT/DRDY pin either immediately goes high to indicate that no new data are available, or immediately goes low to indicate that new data are present in the Conversion register and are available for transfer. New data can be transferred at any time without concern of data corruption. When a transmission starts, the current result is locked into the output shift register and does not change until the communication completes. This system avoids any possibility of data corruption. 9.5.3 Serial Clock (SCLK) The serial clock (SCLK) features a Schmitt-triggered input and is used to clock data on the DIN and DOUT/DRDY pins into and out of the ADS1118. Even though the input has hysteresis, TI recommends keeping SCLK as clean as possible to prevent glitches from accidentally shifting the data. If SCLK is held low for 28 ms, the serial interface resets and the next SCLK pulse starts a new communication cycle. This time-out feature can be used to recover communication when a serial interface transmission is interrupted. When the serial interface is idle, hold SCLK low. 9.5.4 Data Input (DIN) The data input pin (DIN) is used along with SCLK to send data to the ADS1118. The device latches data on DIN on the SCLK falling edge. The ADS1118 never drives the DIN pin. 9.5.5 Data Output and Data Ready (DOUT/DRDY) The data output and data ready pin (DOUT/DRDY) is used with SCLK to read conversion and register data from the ADS1118. Data on DOUT/DRDY are shifted out on the SCLK rising edge. DOUT/DRDY is also used to indicate that a conversion is complete and new data are available. This pin transitions low when new data are ready for retrieval. DOUT/DRDY is also able to trigger a microcontroller to start reading data from the ADS1118. In continuous-conversion mode, DOUT/DRDY transitions high again 8 µs before the next data ready signal (DOUT/DRDY low) if no data are retrieved from the device. This transition is shown in Figure 38. Complete the data transfer before DOUT/DRDY returns high. CS(1) SCLK DOUT/DRDY 8 µs Hi-Z DIN (1) CS may be held low. If CS is low, DOUT/DRDY asserts low indicating new data are available. Figure 38. DOUT/DRDY Behavior Without Data Retrieval in Continuous Conversion Mode When CS is high, DOUT/DRDY is configured by default with a weak internal pullup resistor. This feature reduces the risk of DOUT/DRDY floating near midsupply and causing leakage current in the master device. To disable this pullup resistor and place the device into a high-impedance state, set the PULL_UP_EN bit to 0 in the Config Register.

A positive full-scale input produces an output code of 7FFFh and a negative full-scale input produces an output code of 8000h. The output clips at these codes for signals that exceed full-scale.

ADS1118 Code Transition Diagram 9.5.7 Data Retrieval Data is written to and read from the ADS1118 in the same manner for both single-shot and continuous conversion modes, without having to issue any commands. The operating mode for the ADS1118 is selected by the MODE bit in the Config register. Set the MODE bit to 0 to put the device in continuous-conversion mode. In continuous-conversion mode, the device is constantly starting new conversions even when CS is high. Set the MODE bit to 1 for single-shot mode. In single-shot mode, a new conversion only starts by writing a 1 to the SS bit. The conversion data are always buffered, and retain the current data until replaced by new conversion data. Therefore, data can be read at any time without concern of data corruption. When DOUT/DRDY asserts low, indicating that new conversion data are ready, the conversion data are read by shifting the data out on DOUT/DRDY. The MSB of the data (bit 15) on DOUT/DRDY is clocked out on the first SCLK rising edge. At the same time that the conversion result is clocked out of DOUT/DRDY, new Config register data are latched on DIN on the SCLK falling edge. The ADS1118 also offers the possibility of direct readback of the Config register settings in the same data transmission cycle. One complete data transmission cycle consists of either 32 bits (when the Config register data readback is used) or 16 bits (only used when the CS line can be controlled and is not permanently tied low). 24 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS1118 ADS1118 www.ti.com SBAS457F – OCTOBER 2010 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2019 9.5.7.1 32-Bit Data Transmission Cycle The data in a 32-bit data transmission cycle consists of four bytes: two bytes for the conversion result, and an additional two bytes for the Config Register read back. The device always reads the MSB first. Write the same Config register setting twice during one transmission cycle as shown in Figure 40. If convenient, write the Config register setting once during the first half of the transmission cycle, and then hold the DIN pin either low (as shown in Figure 41) or high during the second half of the cycle. If no update to the Config register is required, hold the DIN pin either low or high during the entire transmission cycle. The Config register setting written in the first two bytes of a 32-bit transmission cycle is read back in the last two bytes of the same cycle.

Therefore, CS must be taken high after the 16th SCLK cycle. Taking CS high resets the SPI interface. The next time CS is taken low, data transmission starts with the currently buffered conversion result on the first SCLK rising edge. If DOUT/DRDY is low when data retrieval starts, the conversion buffer is already updated with a new result. Otherwise, if DOUT/DRDY is high, the same result from the previous data transmission cycle is read.

TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 10.1 Application Information The ADS1118 is a precision, 16-bit ΔΣ ADC that offers many integrated features to ease the measurement of the most common sensor types including various type of temperature and bridge sensors. The following sections give example circuits and suggestions for using the ADS1118 in various situations. 10.1.1 Serial Interface Connections The principle serial interface connections for the ADS1118 are shown in Figure 45. Device 10 DIN 1 Microcontroller or Microprocessor with SPI Port SCLK VDD DOUT/DRDY 9 2 CS VDD 8 3 GND AIN3 7 4 AIN0 AIN2 6 0.1 µF AIN1 5 50 W DOUT 50 W DIN 50 W Inputs Selected from Configuration Register CS 50 W SCLK Figure 45. Typical Connections of the ADS1118 Most microcontroller SPI peripherals can operate with the ADS1118. The interface operates in SPI mode 1 where CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 1. In SPI mode 1, SCLK idles low and data are launched or changed only on SCLK rising edges; data are latched or read by the master and slave on SCLK falling edges. Details of the SPI communication protocol employed by the ADS1118 can be found in the Timing Requirements: Serial Interface section. It is a good practice to place 50-Ω resistors in the series path to each of the digital pins to provide some short circuit protection. Care must be taken to still meet all SPI timing requirements because these additional series resistors along with the bus parasitic capacitances present on the digital signal lines could slew the signals. The fully-differential input of the ADS1118 is ideal for connecting to differential sources (such as thermocouples and thermistors) with a moderately low source impedance. Although the ADS1118 can read fully-differential signals, the device cannot accept negative voltages on either of its inputs because of ESD protection diodes on each pin. When an input exceeds supply or drops below ground, these diodes turn on to prevent any ESD damage to the device. 10.1.2 GPIO Ports for Communication Most microcontrollers have programmable input/output (I/O) pins that can be set in software to act as inputs or outputs. If an SPI controller is not available, the ADS1118 can be connected to GPIO pins and the SPI bus protocol can be simulated. Using GPIO pins to generate the SPI interface only requires that the pins be configured as push or pull inputs or outputs. Furthermore, if the SCLK line is held low for more than 28 ms, the communication times out. This condition means that the GPIO ports must be capable of providing SCLK pulses with no more than 28 ms between pulses. 28 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS1118 ADS1118 www.ti.com SBAS457F – OCTOBER 2010 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2019 Application Information (continued) 10.1.3 Analog Input Filtering Analog input filtering serves two purposes: first, to limit the effect of aliasing during the sampling process and second, to reduce external noise from being a part of the measurement. As with any sampled system, aliasing can occur if proper antialias filtering is not in place. Aliasing occurs when frequency components are present in the input signal that are higher than half the sampling frequency of the ADC (also known as the Nyquist frequency). These frequency components fold back and show up in the actual frequency band of interest below half the sampling frequency. The filter response of the digital filter repeats at multiples of the sampling frequency, also known as the modulator frequency (f(MOD)), as shown in Figure 46. Signals or noise up to a frequency where the filter response repeats are attenuated to a certain amount by the digital filter depending on the filter architecture. Any frequency components present in the input signal around the modulator frequency or multiples thereof are not attenuated and alias back into the band of interest, unless attenuated by an external analog filter. Magnitude Sensor Signal Unwanted Signals Unwanted Signals Output Data Rate f(MOD)/2 f(MOD) Frequency f(MOD) Frequency f(MOD) Frequency Magnitude Digital Filter Aliasing of Unwanted Signals Output Data Rate f(MOD)/2 Magnitude External Antialiasing Filter Roll-Off Output Data Rate f(MOD)/2 Figure 46. Effect of Aliasing Many sensor signals are inherently bandlimited; for example, the output of a thermocouple has a limited rate of change. In this case, the sensor signal does not alias back into the pass-band when using a ΔΣ ADC. However, any noise pick-up along the sensor wiring or the application circuitry can potentially alias into the pass-band. Power line-cycle frequency and harmonics are one common noise source. External noise can also be generated from electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) sources, such as nearby motors and cellular phones. Another noise source typically exists on the printed-circuit-board (PCB) itself in the form of clocks and other digital signals. Analog input filtering helps remove unwanted signals from affecting the measurement result.

Ideally, any signal beyond f(MOD) / 2 is attenuated to a level below the noise floor of the ADC. The digital filter of the ADS1118 attenuates signals to a certain degree, as shown in Figure 34. In addition, noise components are usually smaller in magnitude than the actual sensor signal. Therefore, using a first-order RC filter with a cutoff frequency set at the output data rate or 10x higher is generally a good starting point for a system design. 10.1.4 Single-Ended Inputs Although the ADS1118 has two differential inputs, the device can measure four single-ended signals. Figure 47 shows a single-ended connection scheme. The ADS1118 is configured for single-ended measurement by configuring the MUX to measure each channel with respect to ground. Data are then read out of one input based on the selection in the Config Register. The single-ended signal can range from 0 V up to positive supply or +FS, whichever is lower. Negative voltages cannot be applied to this circuit because the ADS1118 can only accept positive voltages with respect to ground. The ADS1118 does not lose linearity within the input range. The ADS1118 offers a differential input voltage range of ±FS. The single-ended circuit shown in Figure 47 however only uses the positive half of the ADS1118 FS input voltage range because differentially negative inputs are not produced. Because only half of the FS range is used, one bit of resolution is lost. For optimal noise performance, TI recommends using differential configurations whenever possible. Differential configurations maximize the dynamic range of the ADC and provide strong attenuation of common-mode noise.

Measuring Single-Ended Inputs The ADS1118 is also designed to allow AIN3 to serve as a common point for measurements by adjusting the mux configuration. AIN0, AIN1, and AIN2 can all be measured with respect to AIN3. In this configuration the ADS1118 can operate with inputs where AIN3 serves as the common point. This ability improves the usable range over the single-ended configuration because negative differential voltages are allowed when GND < V(AIN3) < VDD; however, common-mode noise attenuation is not offered. 30 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS1118 ADS1118 www.ti.com SBAS457F – OCTOBER 2010 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2019 Application Information (continued) 10.1.5 Connecting Multiple Devices When connecting multiple ADS1118 devices to a single SPI bus, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT/DRDY can be safely shared by using a dedicated chip-select (CS) for each SPI-enabled device. By default, when CS goes high for the ADS1118, DOUT/DRDY is pulled up to VDD by a weak pullup resistor. This feature is intended to prevent DOUT/DRDY from floating near mid-rail and causing excess current leakage on a microcontroller input. If the PULL_UP_EN bit in the Config Register is set to 0, the DOUT/DRDY pin enters a 3-state mode when CS transitions high. The ADS1118 cannot issue a data ready pulse on DOUT/DRDY when CS is high. To evaluate when a new conversion is ready from the ADS1118 when using multiple devices, the master can periodically drop CS to the ADS1118. When CS goes low, the DOUT/DRDY pin immediately drives either high or low. If the DOUT/DRDY line drives low on a low CS, new data are currently available for clocking out at any time. If the DOUT/DRDY line drives high, no new data are available and the ADS1118 returns the last read conversion result. Valid data can be retrieved from the ADS1118 at anytime without concern of data corruption. If a new conversion becomes available during data transmission, that conversion is not available for readback until a new SPI transmission is initiated.

Measurement does not account for thermocouple inaccuracy. 10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure The biasing resistors (RPU and RPD) serve two purposes. The first purpose is to set the common-mode voltage of the thermocouple to within the specified voltage range of the device. The second purpose is to offer a weak pullup and pulldown to detect an open thermocouple lead. When one of the thermocouple leads fails open, the positive input will be pulled to VDD and the negative input will be pulled to GND. The ADC consequently reads a full-scale value, which is outside the normal measurement range of the thermocouple voltage, to indicate this failure condition. When choosing the values of the biasing resistors, care must be taken so that the biasing current does not degrade measurement accuracy. The biasing current flows through the thermocouple and can cause self-heating and additional voltage drops across the thermocouple leads. Typical values for the biasing resistors range from 1 MΩ to 50 MΩ.

While the digital filter of the ADS1118 strongly attenuates high-frequency components of noise, TI recommends to provide a first-order, passive RC filter to further suppress high-frequency noise and avoid aliasing. Care must be taken when choosing the filter resistor values because the input currents flowing into and out of the device cause a voltage drop across the resistors. This voltage drop shows up as an additional offset error at the ADC inputs. TI recommends limiting the filter resistor values to below 1 kΩ. fC = 1 / [2π · (RDIFFA + RDIFFB) · CDIFF] (5) Two common-mode filter capacitors (CCMA and CCMB) are also added to offer attenuation of high-frequency, common-mode noise components. TI recommends that the differential capacitor CDIFF be at least an order of magnitude (10x) larger than these common-mode capacitors because mismatches in the common-mode capacitors can convert common-mode noise into differential noise. The highest measurement resolution is achieved when the largest potential input signal is slightly lower than the FSR of the ADC. From the design requirement, the maximum thermocouple voltage (VTC) occurs at a thermocouple temperature (TTC) of 1250°C. At this temperature, VTC = 50.644 mV, as defined in the tables published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) using a cold-junction temperature (TCJ) of 0°C. A thermocouple produces an output voltage that is proportional to the temperature difference between the thermocouple tip and the cold junction. If the cold junction is at a temperature below 0°C, the thermocouple produces a voltage larger than 50.644 mV. The isothermal block area is constrained by the operating temperature range of the device. Therefore, the isothermal block temperature is limited to –40°C. A K-type thermocouple at TTC = 1250°C produces an output voltage of VTC = 50.644 mV – (–1.527 mV) = 52.171 mV when referenced to a cold-junction temperature of TCJ = –40°C. The device offers a full-scale range of ±0.256 V and that is what is used in this application example. The device integrates a high-precision temperature sensor that can be used to measure the temperature of the cold junction. The temperature sensor mode is enabled by setting bit TS_MODE = 1 in the Config register. The accuracy of the overall temperature sensor depends on how accurately the ADS1118 can measure the cold junction, and hence, careful component placement and PCB layout considerations must be employed for designing an accurate thermocouple system. The ADS1118 Evaluation Module provides a good starting point and offers an example to achieve good cold-junction compensation performance. The ADS1118 Evaluation Module uses the same schematic as shown in Figure 50, except with only one thermocouple channel connected. Refer to the application note, Precision Thermocouple Measurement With the ADS1118, SBAA189, for details on how to optimize your component placement and layout to achieve good cold-junction compensation performance. The calculation procedure to achieve cold-junction compensation can be done in several ways. A typical way is to interleave readings between the thermocouple inputs and the temperature sensor. That is, acquire one on-chip temperature result, TCJ, for every thermocouple ADC voltage measured, VTC. To account for the cold junction, first convert the temperature sensor reading within the ADS1118 to a voltage (VCJ) that is proportional to the thermocouple currently being used. This process is generally accomplished by performing a reverse lookup on the table used for the thermocouple voltage-to-temperature conversion. Adding these two voltages yields the thermocouple-compensated voltage (VActual), where VActual = VCJ + VTC. VActual is then converted to a temperature (TActual) using the same NIST lookup table. A block diagram showing this process is given in Figure 51. Refer to the application note, Precision Thermocouple Measurement With the ADS1118, SBAA189, for a detailed explanation of this method. 34 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010–2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS1118 ADS1118 www.ti.com SBAS457F – OCTOBER 2010 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2019 Device MCU VTC Thermocouple Voltage TActual TCJ On-chip Temperature TÆV VCJ VActual Result VÆT Figure 51. Software Flow Block Diagram Figure 52 and Figure 53 show the measurement results. The measurements are taken at TA = TCJ = 25°C. A system offset calibration is performed at TTC = 25°C that equates to VTC = 0 V when TCJ = 25°C. No gain calibration was performed during the measurements. The data in Figure 52 are taken using a precision voltage source as the input signal instead of a thermocouple. The solid black line in Figure 53 is the respective temperature measurement error and is calculated from the data in Figure 52 using the NIST tables. The solid black line in Figure 53 is the measurement error due to the ADC gain and nonlinearity error. The dashed blue lines in Figure 53 include the guard band for the temperature sensor inaccuracy (±0.5°C), in addition to the device gain and nonlinearity error. Note that the measurement results in Figure 52 and Figure 53 do not account for the thermocouple inaccuracy that must also be considered while designing a thermocouple measurement system. 10.2.3 Application Curves 0.6 0.01 Measurement Error (qC) Measurement Error (mV) 0.4 0.005 0 -0.005 0.2 0 -0.2 -0.4 -0.01 -10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 -0.6 -200 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 Temperature (qC) Thermocouple Voltage (mV) Figure 52.

VDD must be decoupled with at least a 0.1-µF capacitor, as shown in Figure 54. The 0.1-μF bypass capacitor supplies the momentary bursts of extra current required from the supply when the ADS1118 is converting. Place the bypass capacitor as close to the power-supply pin of the device as possible using low-impedance connections. TI recommends using multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) that offer low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL) characteristics for power-supply decoupling purposes. For very sensitive systems, or for systems in harsh noise environments, avoiding the use of vias for connecting the capacitors to the device pins may offer superior noise immunity. The use of multiple vias in parallel lowers the overall inductance and is beneficial for connections to ground planes.

This recommendation generally means that the layout separates analog components [such as ADCs, amplifiers, references, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and analog MUXs] from digital components [such as microcontrollers, complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), radio frequency (RF) transceivers, universal serial bus (USB) transceivers, and switching regulators]. An example of good component placement is shown in Figure 55. Although Figure 55 provides a good example of component placement, the best placement for each application is unique to the geometries, components, and PCB fabrication capabilities employed. That is, there is no single layout that is perfect for every design and careful consideration must always be used when designing with any analog component. Microcontroller Device Ground Fill or Ground Plane Supply Generation Optional: Split Ground Cut Signal Conditioning (RC Filters and Amplifiers) Ground Fill or Ground Plane Optional: Split Ground Cut Ground Fill or Ground Plane Interface Transceiver Connector or Antenna Ground Fill or Ground Plane Figure 55. System Component Placement The use of split analog and digital ground planes is not necessary for improved noise performance (although for thermal isolation this option is a worthwhile consideration). However, the use of a solid ground plane or ground fill in PCB areas with no components is essential for optimum performance. If the system being used employs a split digital and analog ground plane, TI generally recommends that the ground planes be connected together as close to the device as possible. A two-layer board is possible using common grounds for both analog and digital grounds. Additional layers can be added to simplify PCB trace routing. Ground fill may also reduce EMI and RFI issues. TI also strongly recommends that digital components, especially RF portions, be kept as far as practically possible from analog circuitry in a given system. Additionally, minimize the distance that digital control traces run through analog areas and avoid placing these traces near sensitive analog components. Digital return currents usually flow through a ground path that is as close to the digital path as possible. If a solid ground connection to a plane is not available, these currents may find paths back to the source that interfere with analog performance. The implications that layout has on the temperature-sensing functions are much more significant than for ADC functions. Supply pins must be bypassed to ground with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor. The optimum placement of the bypass capacitors is as close as possible to the supply pins. The ground-side connections of the bypass capacitors must be low-impedance connections for optimum performance. The supply current flows through the bypass capacitor terminal first and then to the supply pin to make the bypassing most effective. Analog inputs with differential connections must have a capacitor placed differentially across the inputs. The differential capacitors must be of high quality. The best ceramic chip capacitors are C0G (NPO), which have stable properties and low noise characteristics. Thermally isolate a copper region around the thermocouple input connections to create a thermally-stable cold junction. Obtaining acceptable performance with alternate layout schemes is possible as long as the above guidelines are followed.
