ADS126x-Q1 Automotive Precision, 5-Channel and 10-Channel, 40-kSPS, 24-Bit,
Delta-Sigma ADCs With PGA and Monitors
1 Features
3 Description
•
The ADS1260-Q1 and ADS1261-Q1 (ADS126x-Q1)
are precision, 40-kSPS, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-todigital
converters
(ADCs)
that
include
a
programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The devices also
include a precision voltage reference and internal
fault monitors. The sensor-ready ADCs give a highaccuracy, single-chip solution for the most demanding
measurements, for example, weigh scales and
resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).

– Offset drift: 1 nV/°C
– Gain drift: 0.5 ppm/°C
– Noise: 30 nVRMS (20 SPS, gain = 128)
– Linearity: 2 ppm
CMOS PGA gain: 1 to 128
Data rate: 2.5 SPS to 40 kSPS
2.5-V reference: 4 ppm/°C
Single-cycle settling mode
Signal and reference monitors
5-V or ±2.5-V power supply
Internal temperature sensor
Cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
Excitation current sources
Sensor burn-out current sources
Four general-purpose inputs/outputs
(ADS1261-Q1)
AC excitation for bridge sensors (ADS1261-Q1)
5-mm × 5-mm VQFN package
The ADCs contain an input signal multiplexer, a lownoise PGA (with gains from 1 to 128), a 24-bit ΔΣ
modulator, a precision voltage reference, and a
programmable digital filter.
The high-impedance PGA inputs (1 GΩ) decrease
measurement error due to sensor loading. The
ADS1260-Q1 supports three differential or five singleended inputs. The ADS1261-Q1 supports five
differential or ten single-ended inputs. The integrated
current sources simplify the measurement of RTDs.
The flexible digital filter is programmable for singlecycle settled conversions. Signal and reference
monitors, a temperature sensor, and CRC data
verification enhance data reliability.
The ADS126x-Q1 are pin compatible devices given in
a 5-mm × 5-mm VQFN package and are specified
across the –40°C to +125°C temperature range.

8 Parameter Measurement Information
8.1 Noise Performance
The ADS126x-Q1 noise performance depends on the ADC configuration: data rate, PGA gain, digital filter
configuration, and chop mode. The combination of the parameters affect noise performance. Two significant
factors affecting noise performance are data rate and PGA gain. Since the profile of noise is predominantly white
(flat vs frequency), decreasing the data rate proportionally decreases bandwidth and therefore, total noise. Since
the noise of the PGA is lower than that of the modulator of the ADC, increasing the gain reduces noise when
treated as an input-referred quantity. Noise performance also depends on the digital filter and chop mode. As the
order of the digital filter increases, the noise bandwidth correspondingly decreases resulting in lower noise.
Further, as a result of two-point data averaging in chop mode, noise performance improves by √2 compared to
normal operation.
Table 1 shows noise performance in units of μVRMS (RMS = root mean square) under the conditions listed. The
values in parenthesis are peak-to-peak values. Table 2 shows the noise performance in effective resolution (bits)
under the specified conditions. The values shown in parenthesis are the noise-free resolution. Noise-free
resolution is the resolution of the ADC with no code flicker. The noise-free resolution data are calculated based
on the peak-to-peak noise measurements.
The effective resolution data listed in the tables are calculated using Equation 1:
Effective Resolution or Noise-Free Resolution = ln (FSR / en) / ln (2)
where
•
•
FSR = full scale range = 2 · VREF / Gain (See Recommended Operating Conditions for FSR)
en = Input referred voltage noise (RMS value to calculate effective resolution, p-p value to calculate noise-free
resolution)
(1)
The data shown in the noise performance table represent typical ADC performance at TA = 25°C. The noiseperformance data are the standard deviation and peak-to-peak computations of the ADC data. The noise data
are acquired with inputs shorted, based on consecutive ADC readings for a period of ten seconds or 8192 data
points, whichever occurs first. Because of the statistical nature of noise, repeated noise measurements may yield
higher or lower noise performance results.
As a result of the increased full-scale input range provided by 5-V reference operation, effective resolution and
noise-free resolution performance are typically optimized using a 5-V reference. The effective resolution and
noise-free resolution performance data shown in Table 2 are with external 5-V reference operation.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The ADS1260-Q1 and ADS1261-Q1 are 5-channel and 10-channel, precision 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) ADCs with
an integrated analog front end (AFE) and voltage reference. The low-noise and low-drift architecture make the
ADCs suitable for precision measurement of low signal level sensors, such as strain-gauge bridges, pressure
transducers and temperature sensors.
Key features of the ADC are:
• Very low noise, 1-GΩ input impedance PGA
• High-precision, 24-bit ΔΣ ADC
• Internal oscillator
• 2.5-V voltage reference
• Signal and voltage reference monitors
• Excitation current sources
• Input level-shift voltage
• Sensor burn-out current sources
• Temperature sensor
• Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) communication error detection
• Two voltage reference inputs ( ADS1261-Q1)
• Four GPIO with AC-excitation ( ADS1261-Q1)
The analog inputs (AINx) connect to the input multiplexer (MUX). The ADC supports three (five) differential or
five (ten) single-ended input configurations for the ADS1260-Q1 and ADS1261-Q1, respectively.
The programmable gain amplifier (PGA) follows the input multiplexer. The PGA is suitable for direct connection
to low-level sensors. The gain is programmable from 1 to 128. The PGA bypass option connects the analog
inputs directly to the precharge buffered modulator, extending the input voltage range to the power supplies. The
PGA output connects to pins CAPP and CAPN. The ADC antialias filter is provided at the PGA output with an
external capacitor.
The PGA is monitored to verify linear operation. Alarm bits in the status register set if the linear range of the PGA
is exceeded.
A delta-sigma modulator measures the input voltage relative to the reference voltage to produce the 24-bit
conversion result. The differential input range of the ADC is ±VREF / Gain.
The digital filter averages and decimates the modulator output data to yield the final, down-sampled conversion
result. The sinc filter is programmable (sinc1 through sinc5) allowing optimization of conversion time, conversion
noise and line-cycle rejection. The finite impulse response (FIR) filter mode provides single-cycle settled data
with simultaneous rejection of 50-Hz and 60-Hz at data rates of 20 SPS or less.
The ADC reference is either 2.5-V internal, external or the 5-V analog power supply. The REFOUT pin provides
the buffered reference voltage output. The external reference is monitored for low or missing voltage. The
ADS1261-Q1 provides two voltage reference inputs, multiplexed with the analog inputs.
The ADC includes two current sources that provide excitation to resistive sensors (RTD). Additionally, the
ADS1261-Q1 provides four GPIO control lines. The GPIOs are used for input and output of general-purpose logic
signals, as well as providing drive signals for AC-excited bridges. The GPIOs are multiplexed to the analog
inputs.
The temperature sensor and the power supply voltages are read through the multiplexer. The programmable
burn-out test currents connect to the multiplexer output. The currents detect failed sensors or faults in the sensor
connection. The level-shift voltage on AINCOM provides the bias for floating sensors.
The SPI-compatible serial interface is used to read the conversion data and also to configure and control the
ADC. Data communication errors are detected by CRC. The serial interface consists of four signals: CS, SCLK,
DIN and DOUT/DRDY. The dual function DOUT/DRDY provides data output and also the data ready signal. The
ADC serial interface can be implemented with as little as three pins by tying CS low.

Overview (continued)
The ADC clock is either internal or external. The ADC detects the external clock automatically. The nominal clock
frequency is 7.3728 MHz (10.24 MHz for 40-kSPS operation).
ADC conversions are controlled by the START pin or by the START command. The ADC is programmable for
continuous or one-shot conversions. The DRDY or DOUT/DRDY pin provides the conversion data ready signal.
When taken low, the RESET pin resets the ADC. The ADC is powered down by the PWDN pin or is powered
down in software mode.
The ADC operates in either bipolar analog supply configuration (±2.5 V), or in a single 5-V supply configuration.
The digital power supply range is 2.7 V to 5 V. The BYPASS pin is the internal subregulator output used for the
ADC digital core.

9.3 Feature Description
The following sections describe the functional blocks of the ADC.
9.3.1 Analog Inputs
Figure 9 shows the analog input circuit consist of ESD-protection diodes, the input multiplexer and sensor burnout current sources. The ADS1260-Q1 has six analog inputs to support five single-ended measurement
channels. The ADS1261-Q1 has 11 analog inputs to support 10 single-ended measurement channels. Both
devices have four internal (system) measurements, and an option where no inputs are connected.

ESD Diodes
Figure 9. Analog Input Block Diagram
9.3.1.1 ESD Diodes
ESD diodes are incorporated to protect the ADC inputs from possible ESD events occurring during the
manufacturing process and during PCB assembly when manufactured in an ESD-controlled environment. For
system-level ESD protection, consider the use of external ESD protection devices for pins that are exposed to
ESD, including the analog inputs.
If either input is driven below AVSS – 0.3 V, or above AVDD + 0.3 V, the internal protection diodes may conduct.
If these conditions are possible, use external clamp diodes, series resistors, or both to limit the input current to
the specified maximum value.
9.3.1.2 Input Multiplexer
The input multiplexer selects the signal for measurement. The multiplexer consists of independent positive and
negative sections. See Figure 9 for multiplexer register settings. The multiplexers select any input as positive and
any input as negative for the PGA. Because the level-shift voltage connects to AINCOM (only), AINCOM is
suitable as the common input for single-ended signals that require a level-shift voltage.
The switching sequence of the multiplexer is break-before-make in order to reduce charge injection into the next
measurement channel. Be aware that over-driving unused channels beyond the power supplies can effect
conversions taking place on active channels. See the Input Overload section for more information.

Feature Description (continued)
9.3.1.3 Temperature Sensor
The ADC has an internal temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is comprised of two internal diodes with
one diode having 80 times the current density of the other. The difference in current density of the diodes yields
a differential output voltage that is proportional to absolute temperature. The temperature sensor reading is
converted by the ADC. See Figure 9 for register settings to select the temperature sensor for measurement.
Equation 2 shows how to convert the temperature sensor reading to degrees Celsius (˚C):
Temperature (°C) = [(Temperature Reading (µV) – 122,400) / 420 µV/°C] + 25°C
(2)
Measure the temperature sensor with PGA on, gain = 1, burn-out current sources disabled and AC-excitation
mode disabled. As a result of the low package-to-PCB thermal resistance, the internal temperature closely tracks
the PCB temperature. Be aware that device self-heating increases the internal temperature relative to the
surrounding PCB.
9.3.1.4 Power-Supply Readback
Read the power-supply voltage by the appropriate input multiplexer selection. The supply voltages are divided to
reduce the voltage levels to within the ADC input range. The analog and digital supply readback levels are
scaled by Equation 3 and Equation 4, respectively:
Analog supply (V) = (AVDD - AVSS) / 4
Digital supply (V) = DVDD / 4
(3)
(4)
Measure the power supply voltages with either the internal or an external reference. If using an external
reference, the minimum reference voltage is 1.5 V. Perform the measurement with PGA enabled, gain = 1, burnout current sources disabled and AC-excitation mode disabled. See Figure 9 for register settings to measure the
supply voltages.
9.3.1.5 Inputs Open
This configuration opens all inputs. Use this configuration to test the functionality of the sensor burn-out current
sources, and the PGA output monitors. When the inputs are open, the current sources drive the PGA inputs to
full scale, resulting in an PGA monitor alarm and clipped conversion data. See Figure 9 for register settings to
open all inputs.
9.3.1.6 Internal VCOM Connection
For this multiplexer configuration, all inputs are open and the PGA inputs are connected to an internal VCOM
voltage as defined: (AVDD + AVSS) / 2. Use this mode to measure the ADC noise performance and offset
voltage, or to short the inputs for offset calibration. See Figure 9 for register settings of the internal VCOM
connection.

9.3.1.7 Alternate Functions
The ADC has several alternate functions that are multiplexed with the analog inputs. The alternate functions are
reference input, current source output, GPIO, AC-excitation and level-shift voltage output. The functions are
enabled by programming of the associated registers. The analog inputs retain measurement ability if the
alternate functions are programmed. Table 3 summarizes the alternate functions.

9.3.2 PGA
The PGA is a low-noise, CMOS differential-input, differential-output amplifier. The PGA extends the dynamic
range of the ADC, important when used with low level sensors. The PGA provides gains of 1 through 32 and the
ADC provides additional gains of 2 and 4. The combined gains are 1 through 128. Gain is controlled by the
GAIN[2:0] register bits as shown in Figure 10. In PGA bypass mode, the input voltage range extends to the
analog supplies. The PGA is powered down in bypass mode.

SBAS784A – JANUARY 2019 – REVISED MAY 2019
The PGA consists of two chopper-stabilized amplifiers (A1 and A2), and a resistor network that determines the
PGA gain. The resistor network is precision matched, providing low drift performance. The PGA integrates noise
filters to reduce sensitivity to electromagnetic-interference (EMI). The PGA output is monitored to indicate when
the operating headroom is exceeded.
Pins CAPP and CAPN are the PGA positive and negative outputs, respectively. Connect an external 4.7-nF
capacitor (type C0G) as shown in Figure 10. The capacitor filters the modulator sample pulses and with the
internal resistors, forms the antialias filter. Place the capacitor as close as possible to the pins using short traces.
Avoid running clock traces or other digital traces close to these pins.
The full-scale differential input voltage range of the ADC is determined by the reference voltage and gain.
Table 4 shows the differential input voltage range verses gain for VREF = 2.5 V.

VREF = 2.5 V. Full scale differential input voltage range is proportional to VREF.
As with many amplifiers, the PGA has an input voltage range limitation that must not be exceeded in order to
maintain linear operation. The specified input voltage range is expressed as the absolute voltage at the positive
and negative inputs. As specified in Equation 5, the specified absolute input voltage depends on gain, the
expected maximum differential voltage, and the minimum analog power-supply voltage.

The relationship of the PGA input to the PGA output is shown graphically in Figure 11. The PGA output voltages
(VOUTP, VOUTN) depend on the respective absolute input voltage, the differential input voltage, and the PGA gain.
To maintain the PGA within the linear operating range, the PGA output voltages must not exceed either AVDD –
0.3 V or AVSS + 0.3 V. The diagram depicts a positive differential input voltage that results in a positive
differential output voltage.

9.3.2.1 PGA Bypass Mode
Bypass the PGA to extend the input voltage range up to the analog power supply voltages. In bypass mode, the
PGA is bypassed and the analog inputs are connected directly to the precharge buffers of the modulator, thereby
extending the input voltage range. Be aware of the increased analog input current in bypass mode. See the
Recommended Operating Conditions for the bypass-mode input voltage range specification, and see the
Electrical Characteristics for the input current specification.
9.3.2.2 PGA Voltage Monitor
The PGA has voltage monitors to provide indication when the PGA is overloaded. In overload condition, the
conversion data are no longer valid. If either the PGA positive or negative output exceeds AVDD – 0.2 V, the
high alarm bit is set (PGAH_ALM). Similarly, if either PGA positive or negative output is less than AVSS + 0.2 V,
the low alarm bit is set (PGAL_ALM). The monitor alarm state is read in the STATUS byte. The monitor alarm is
read-only and automatically resets at the start of the next conversion cycle after the overload condition is cleared.
The monitor diagram and threshold values are shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13.

The PGA monitors consist of fast-responding voltage comparators. Comparator operation is disabled during
multiplexer changes to minimize the false triggering during these input switching events. However, it is possible
the monitors can detect other transient overload conditions that may occur after gain changes, sensor connection
changes, and so on.

9.3.3 Reference Voltage
The ADC requires a reference voltage for operation. The reference voltage options are 2.5-V internal, one or two
external inputs (ADS1260-Q1 or ADS1261-Q1, respectively) or the 5-V analog power supply. The reference
voltage is selected by independent positive and negative reference multiplexers for the reference positive and
reference negative voltages, respectively. The default reference is the 5-V analog power supply (AVDD – AVSS).

Program the RMUXP[1:0] and RMUXN[1:0] bits of the REF register to select the positive and negative reference
voltages, respectively. The positive reference selections are internal positive, AIN0, AIN2, or AVDD. The negative
reference input selections are internal negative, AIN1, AIN3, or AVSS. The reference low-voltage monitor is
located after the reference multiplexer. See the Reference Monitor section for more information.
9.3.3.1 Internal Reference
The ADC incorporates a 2.5-V reference that is enabled by the REFENB bit of the REF register (default = off).
Program the reference multiplexer bits RMUXP[1:0] and RMUXN[1:0] to 00b to select the internal reference. A
10-μF capacitor is required between pins REFOUT and AVSS to filter reference noise. REFOUT is the reference
output and AVSS is the reference return. Use a star-layout connection or plane connection for the reference
return, connecting close to the AVSS pin. When the reference is enabled, be aware of the settling time before
beginning conversions. Also be aware of the reference inrush current that may result in a transient droop of the
AVDD voltage. Enable the internal reference for sensor excitation current source operation.
9.3.3.2 External Reference
Use an external reference by applying the reference voltage to the designated analog inputs. The reference
inputs are differential with positive and negative inputs. Program the reference multiplexer bits RMUXP[1:0] and
RMUXN[1:0] to 10b or 11b to select inputs AIN0/AIN1 or AIN2/AIN3, respectively (AIN2/AIN3 is available only for
the ADS1261-Q1). For application that use multiple references, it is possible to connect the reference grounds
together and use a single input pin for ground. Follow the specified absolute and differential reference voltage
operating conditions, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions. Connect a 100-nF capacitor
across the reference input pins to filter noise. Be aware of the reference input current if reference impedances
are present. Consider the error to the overall system accuracy.

9.3.3.3 AVDD - AVSS Reference (Default)
A third reference option is the 5-V analog power supply (AVDD - AVSS). Select this reference option by setting
the reference multiplexer bits RMUXP[1:0] and RMUXN[1:0] to 01b. For a 6-wire load cell application that uses
excitation sense lines, or for AC-excitation operation, connect the excitation sense lines to the analog input
reference inputs and program the ADC for external reference operation.
9.3.3.4 Reference Monitor
The ADC incorporates a reference monitor that detects an invalid reference voltage. As shown in Figure 15 and
Figure 16, if the reference voltage (VREF = VREFP – VREFN) is below 0.4 V, the REFL_ALM bit is set in the
STATUS byte. The alarm is read-only and resets at the next conversion after the low reference condition is
cleared.
Use the reference monitor to detect a missing or failed reference voltage. To implement detection of a missing
reference, use a 100-kΩ resistor across the reference inputs. If either input is unconnected, the resistor biases
the differential reference input towards 0 V so that the missing reference can be detected.

9.3.4 Level-Shift Voltage (VBIAS)
The ADC integrates a level-shift voltage that can be connected to the AINCOM pin by an internal switch. As
shown in Figure 17, the level-shift voltage is the mid-voltage between AVDD and AVSS. The purpose of the
voltage is to shift the signal level of floating sensors to within the input range of the ADC. Isolated thermocouples
and piezoelectric sensors are examples of sensors that are suitable for connection to the level-shift voltage. For
these sensors, connect the negative lead to the AINCOM pin and enable the level-shift voltage.

The turn-on time of the level-shift voltage depends on the total external capacitance connected from the AINCOM
pin to ground or AVSS. Table 5 lists the level-shift voltage settling times for various load capacitance. Be certain
the level-shift voltage is fully settled before starting a conversion.

9.3.5 Burn-Out Current Sources
The burn-out current sources are used to detect the occurrence of sensor burn-out or break. If the sensor or
sensor connection is open, the currents drive either or both positive and negative PGA inputs to opposite supply
voltages where the occurrence of an open sensor is detected by the PGA monitors or detected by the host for
out-of-range (or clipped) conversion data.
Figure 18 shows the burn-out currents connect at the output of the analog input multiplexer. The currents sink
and source, and are configurable in pullup or pulldown mode. In pullup mode, the sourcing current connects to
the positive input channel and the sinking current connects to the negative input channel. In this configuration, an
open circuit pulls the inputs to positive full scale. The currents are Off, 0.050 µA, 0.2 µA, 1 µA, and 10 µA. See
the Burn-Out Current Source section for application information.

9.3.6 Sensor-Excitation Current Sources (IDAC1 and IDAC2)
The ADC incorporates two current sources that are used to provide excitation current to a resistive temperature
device (RTD), thermistor, diode and other sensor type that require constant current biasing. The currents are
programmable over the 50 μA to 3000 μA range and are internally multiplexed to all analog input pins. The
current source multiplexer is shown in Figure 19. The IMUX1 and IMUX2 register bits connect the corresponding
current source to the analog inputs. The IMAG1 and IMAG2 register bits program the corresponding current
magnitude.
Enable the internal reference for current source operation. The current source value can be doubled or an
intermediate value produced by connecting the current sources to the same analog input. Take care not to
exceed the current source compliance voltage range. That is, when the current source is loaded by resistance,
the voltage at the pin increases and must not exceed specification; otherwise the specified current source
accuracy is not met.

9.3.7 General-Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)
The ADS1261-Q1 provides four GPIO pins, GPIO0 through GPIO3. The GPIOs are digital inputs/outputs that are
referenced to analog AVDD and AVSS. The GPIOs are read and written by the GPIO_DAT bits of register
MODE3. The GPIOs are multiplexed with analog inputs AIN2 to AIN5. As shown in Figure 20, the GPIOs have a
series of programming registers. Bits GPIO_CON[3:0] connect the GPIOs to the associated pin (1 = connect).
Bits GPIO_DIR program the direction of the GPIOs; (0 = output, 1 = input). The input voltage threshold is the
voltage value between AVDD and AVSS. Bits GPIO_DAT[3:0] are the data values for the GPIOs. Observe that if
a GPIO pin is programmed as an output, the value read is the value previously written to the register data, not
the actual state of the pin.
The GPIOs also provide the AC-excitation drive signals. AC-excitation mode override the GPIO register data
values. See the AC-Excitation Mode section for details.

9.3.8 Oversampling
The ADC operates on the principle of oversampling, defined as the ratio of the sample rate of the modulator to
that of the ADC output data rate. Oversampling improves ADC noise by digital bandwidth limiting (low-pass
filtering) of the data. The digital filter also performs data rate reduction (decimation) in order to reduce the data
rate proportional with the amount of data filtering.
9.3.9
Modulator
The modulator is an inherently stable, fourth-order, 2 + 2 pipelined ΔΣ modulator. The modulator samples the
analog input voltage at a high sample rate (fMOD = fCLK / 8) and converts the analog input to a ones-density bitstream given by the ratio of the input signal to the reference voltage. The modulator shapes the noise of the
converter to high frequency, where the noise is removed by the digital filter.

9.3.10 Digital Filter
The digital filter receives the modulator output data and produces a high-resolution conversion result. The digital
filter low-pass filters and decimates the modulator data (data rate reduction), yielding the final data output. By
adjusting the type of filtering, tradeoffs are made between resolution, data throughput and line cycle rejection.
The digital filter has two selectable modes: sin (x) / x (sinc) mode and finite impulse response (FIR) mode (see
Figure 21). The sinc mode provides data rates of 2.5 SPS through 40000 SPS with variable sinc orders of 1
through 5. The FIR filter provides simultaneous rejection of 50-Hz and 60-Hz frequencies with data rates 2.5 SPS
through 20 SPS while providing single-cycle settled conversions.

9.3.10.1 Sinc Filter
The sinc filter is composed of two stages: a variable-decimation sinc5 filter, followed by a variable-decimation,
variable-order sinc filter. The first stage filters and down-samples the modulator data to yield data rates of
40000 SPS, 25600 SPS, 19200 SPS, and 14400 SPS. These data rates bypass the second stage and as a
result have a sinc5 characteristic filter response. The second stage receives data from the first stage at a fixed
rate of 14400 SPS. The data rate is reduced to the range 7200 SPS to 2.5 SPS, with programmable orders of
sinc.
The data rate is programmed by the DR[4:0] bits of register MODE0. The filter mode is programmed by the
FILTER[2:0] bits of register MODE0 (see Table 32).
9.3.10.1.1 Sinc Filter Frequency Response
The characteristic of the sinc filter is low pass. The filter reduces noise present in the signal and noise present
within the ADC. Changing the data rate and filter order changes the filter bandwidth.

The second stage superimposes frequency response nulls to the nulls of the first stage 14400 SPS output. The
first of the superimposed response nulls occurs at the data rate, followed by nulls occurring at multiples of the
data rate. Figure 24 illustrates the frequency response for various orders of sinc at data rate of 2400 SPS. This
data rate has five nulls between the larger nulls at multiples of 14400 Hz. This frequency response is similar to
that of data rates 2.5 SPS to 7200 SPS. Figure 25 shows the frequency response nulls for 10 SPS.

9.3.10.2 FIR Filter
The finite impulse response (FIR) filter is a coefficient based filter architecture that provides an overall low-pass
filter response. The filter provides simultaneous attenuation of 50 Hz and 60 Hz and harmonics at data rates of
20 SPS to 2.5 SPS. The conversion latency time of the FIR filter data rates are single-cycle. As shown in
Figure 21, the FIR filter receives pre-filtered data from the sinc filter. The FIR filter decimates the data to yield the
output data rates of 20 SPS. A variable averager (sinc1) provides data rates of 10 SPS, 5 SPS, and 2.5 SPS.
Table 6 lists the bandwidth of the data rates in FIR filter mode.

9.3.10.4 50-Hz and 60-Hz Normal Mode Rejection
To reduce 50-Hz and 60-Hz noise interference, configure the conversion period to reject the noise at 50 Hz and
60 Hz. 50-Hz and 60-Hz noise rejection depends on the filter type. Table 7 summarizes the 50-Hz and 60-Hz
noise rejection versus data rate and filter type. The table values are based on 2% and 6% tolerance of noise
frequency to ADC clock frequency. For the sinc filter mode, noise rejection is increased by increasing the order
of the filter. Common mode noise is also rejected at these frequencies.

9.4 Device Functional Modes
9.4.1 Conversion Control
Conversions are controlled by either the START pin or by the START command. If using commands to control
conversions, keep the START pin low to avoid contentions between pin and commands. Commands take affect
on the 16th falling SCLK edge (CRC mode disabled) or on the 32nd falling SCLK edge (CRC mode enabled).
See Figure 4 for conversion-control timing details.
The ADC provides two conversion modes: continuous and pulse. The continuous-conversion mode performs
conversions indefinitely until stopped by the user. Pulse-conversion mode performs one conversion and then
stops. The conversion mode is programmed by the CONVRT bit (bit 4 of register MODE0).
9.4.1.1 Continuous-Conversion Mode
This conversion mode performs continuous conversions until stopped by the user. To start conversions, take the
START pin high or send the START command. DRDY is driven high at the time the conversion is initiated. DRDY
is driven low when the conversion data are ready. Conversion data are available to read at that time.
Conversions are stopped by taking the START pin low or by sending the STOP command. When conversions
are stopped, the conversion in progress runs to completion. To restart a conversion that is in progress, toggle the
START pin low-then-high or send a new START command.
9.4.1.2 Pulse-Conversion Mode
In pulse-conversion mode, the ADC performs one conversion when START is taken high or when the START
command is sent. When the conversion completes, further conversions stop. The DRDY output is driven high to
indicate the conversion is in progress, and is driven low when the conversion data are ready. Conversion data
are available to read at that time. To restart a conversion in progress, toggle the START pin low-then-high or
send a new START command. Driving START low or sending the STOP command does not interrupt the current
conversion.
9.4.1.3 Conversion Latency
The digital filter averages data from the modulator in order to produce the conversion result. The stages of the
digital filter must have settled data in order to provide fully-settled output data. The order and the decimation ratio
of the digital filter determine the amount of data averaged, and in turn, affect the latency of the conversion data.
The FIR and sinc1 filter modes are zero latency because the ADC provides the conversion result in one
conversion cycle. Latency time is an important consideration for the data throughput rate in multiplexed
applications.
Table 8 lists the conversion latency values of the ADC. Conversion latency is defined as the time from the start
of the first conversion, by taking the START pin high or sending the START command, to the time when the
conversion data are ready. If the input signal is settled, then the ADC provides fully settled data under this
condition. The conversion latency values listed in the table are with the start-conversion delay parameter = 50 µs,
and include the overhead time needed to process the data. After the first conversion completes (in continuous
conversion mode), the period of the following conversions are equal to 1/fDATA. The first conversion latency in
chop and AC-excitation modes are twice the values listed in the table. Also when operating in these modes, the
period of the following conversions are equal to the values listed in the table.

Chop mode off, conversion-start delay = 50 µs (DELAY[3:0] = 0001)
If the input signal changes while free-running conversions, the conversion data are a mix of old and new data, as
shown in Figure 33. After an input change, the number of conversion periods required for fully settled data are
determined by dividing the conversion latency by the period of the data rate, plus add one conversion period to
the result. In chop mode and AC-excitation mode, use twice the latency values listed in the table.

9.4.1.4 Start-Conversion Delay
Some applications may require a delay at the start of a conversion in order to allow settling time for the PGA
output antialias filter or to allow time after input and configuration changes. The ADC provides a user
programmable delay time that delays the start of a new conversion. The default value is 50 μs. This allows for
settling of the antialiasing filter. Use additional delay time as needed to provide settling time for external
components. The delay time increases the conversion latency values listed in Table 8. As an alternative to the
programmable start-conversion delay, manually delay the start of conversion after input and configuration
changes.
Start-conversion delay is an important consideration for operation in AC-excitation mode. In this mode, the
reference inputs to the bridge, and therefore, the bridge output signals are reversed for each conversion As a
result, time delay is required to allow for settling of external filter components after reversal. As a general
guideline, set the start-conversion delay parameter to a minimum of 15 times the R-C time constant of the signal
input and reference input filters.

9.4.2 Chop Mode
The PGA and modulator are chopper-stabilized at high frequency in order to reduce offset voltage, offset voltage
drift and 1/f noise. The offset and noise artifacts are modulated to high frequency and are removed by the digital
filter. Although chopper stabilization is designed to remove all offset, a small offset voltage may remain. The
optional global chop mode removes the remaining offset errors, providing exceptional offset voltage drift
performance.
Chop mode alternates the signal polarity of consecutive conversions. The ADC subtracts consecutive, alternatephase conversions to yield the final conversion data. The result of subtraction removes the offset.

Figure 34. ADC Chop Mode
As shown in Figure 34, the internal chop switch reverses the signal after the input multiplexer. VOFS models the
internal offset voltage. The operational sequence of chop mode is as follows:
Conversion C1: VAINP – VAINN – VOFS → First conversion withheld after start
Conversion C2: VAINN – VAINP – VOFS → Output 1 = (C1 – C2) / 2 = VAINP – VAINN
Conversion C3: VAINP – VAINN – VOFS → Output 2 = (C3 – C2) / 2 = VAINP – VAINN
The sequence repeats for all conversions. Because of the internal mathematical operations, the chop mode data
rate is reduced. The chop mode data rate is proportional to the order of the sinc filter. Referring to Table 8, the
new data rate is equal to 1 / latency values and the first conversion latency is 2 × latency values. Because of the
two-point data averaging arising from the mathematical operations, noise is reduced by √2. For chop mode,
divide the noise data values shown in Table 1 by √2 to derive the new noise performance data. The null
frequencies of the digital filter are not changed in chop-mode operation. However, new null frequencies appear at
multiples of fDATA / 2.
9.4.3 AC-Excitation Mode
Resistive bridge sensors are excited by DC or AC voltages; for DC or AC currents. DC voltage excitation is the
most common type of excitation. AC excitation reverses the polarity of the voltage by the use of external
switching components. Similar in concept to chop mode, the result of the voltage reversal removes offset voltage
in the connections leading from the bridge to the ADC inputs. This removal includes the offset voltage of the ADC
itself. The ADS1261-Q1 provides the signals necessary to drive the external switching components in order to
reverse the bridge voltage.
The timing of the drive signals is synchronized to the ADC conversion phase. During one conversion phase, the
voltage polarity is normal. For the alternate conversion phase, the voltage polarity is reversed. The ADC
compensates the reversed polarity conversion by internal reversal of the reference voltage. The ADC subtracts
the data corresponding to the normal and reverse phases in order to remove offset voltage from the input.
The ADC output drive signals do not overlap in order to avoid bridge cross-conduction that can otherwise occur
during excitation voltage reversal. The switch rate of the AC-excitation drive signals are at the data rate to avoid
unnecessary fast switching. See Figure 7 for output drive timing.

Table 9 shows the AC-excitation drive signals and the associated GPIO pins. Program the AC-excitation mode
using the CHOP[1:0] bits in register MODE1. AC excitation can be programmed for two-wire or four-wire drive
mode. For two-wire operation, two drive signals are provided on the GPIOs. If needed, use two external inverters
to derive four signals to drive discrete transistors. The GPIO drive levels are referred to the 5-V analog supply.
Be aware that the AC-excitation mode changes the nominal data rate, depending on the order of the sinc filter.
See the Chop Mode section for details of the effective data rate.

9.4.4 ADC Clock Mode
Operate the ADC with an external clock or with the internal oscillator. The clock frequency is 7.3728 MHz, except
for fDATA = 40000 SPS then fCLK = 10.24 MHz (internal or external). For external clock operation, apply the clock
signal to CLKIN. For internal-clock operation, connect CLKIN to DGND. The internal oscillator begins operation
immediately at power-up. The ADC automatically selects the clock mode of operation. Read the clock mode bit in
the STATUS register to determine the clock mode.
9.4.5 Power-Down Mode
The ADC has two power-down modes: hardware and software. In both power-down modes, the digital outputs
remain driven. The digital inputs must be maintained at VIH or VIL levels (do not float the digital inputs). The
internal low-dropout regulator remains on, drawing 25 µA (typical) from DVDD.
9.4.5.1 Hardware Power-Down
Take the PWDN pin low to engage hardware power-down mode. Except for the internal LDO, all ADC functions
are disabled. To exit hardware power-down mode (wake-up) take the PWDN pin high. The register values are
not reset at wake-up. The internal reference is shut down in this mode; therefore, be sure to accommodate the
start-up time of the internal reference before starting conversions.
9.4.5.2 Software Power-Down
Set the PWDN bit (bit 7 of register MODE3) to engage software power-down mode. Similar to the operation of
hardware power-down mode, software mode powers down the internal functions except the serial interface
remains powered, and the internal reference bias is unchanged (On or Off). Exit the software power-down mode
by clearing the PWDN bit. The register values are not reset.
9.4.6 Reset
The ADC is reset in three ways: at power-on, by the RESET pin, and by the RESET command. When reset, the
serial interface, conversion-control logic, digital filter, and register values are reset. The RESET bit of the
STATUS byte is set to indicate a device reset has occurred by any of the three reset methods. Clear the bit to
detect the next device reset. If the START pin is high after reset, the ADC begins conversions.
9.4.6.1 Power-on Reset
At power-on, after the supply voltages cross the reset-voltage thresholds, the ADC is reset and 216 fCLK cycles
later the ADC is ready for communication. Until this time, DRDY is held low. DRDY is driven high to indicate
when the ADC is ready for communication. If the START pin is high, the conversion cycle starts 512 / fCLK cycle
after DRDY asserts high. Figure 5 shows the power-on reset behavior.
9.4.6.2 Reset by Pin
Reset the ADC by taking the RESET pin low and then returning the pin high. After reset, the conversion starts
512 / fCLK cycles later. See Figure 6 for RESET timing.

9.4.6.3 Reset by Command
Reset the ADC by the RESET command. Toggle CS high to make sure the serial interface resets before sending
the command. For applications that tie CS low, see the Serial Interface Auto-Reset section for information on
how to reset the serial interface. After reset, the conversion starts 512 / fCLK cycles later. See Figure 6 for timing
details.
9.4.7 Calibration
The ADC incorporates calibration registers and associated commands to calibrate offset and full-scale errors.
Calibrate by using calibration commands, or calibrate by writing to the calibration registers directly (user
calibration). To calibrate by command, send the offset or full-scale calibration commands. To user calibrate, write
values to the calibration registers based on calculations of the conversion data. Perform offset calibration before
full-scale calibration.
9.4.7.1 Offset and Full-Scale Calibration
Use the offset and full-scale (gain) registers to correct offset or full-scale errors, respectively. As shown in
Figure 35, the offset calibration register is subtracted from the output data before multiplication by the full-scale
register, which is divided by 400000h. After the calibration operation, the final output data are clipped to 24 bits.

9.4.7.1.1 Offset Calibration Registers
The offset calibration word is 24 bits, consisting of three 8-bit registers, as listed in Table 10. The offset value is
subtracted from the conversion result. The offset value is in two's complement format with a maximum positive
value equal to 7FFFFFh, and a maximum negative value equal to 800000h. A register value equal to 000000h
has no offset correction. Although the offset calibration register provides a wide range of possible offset values,
the input signal after calibration cannot exceed ±106% of the pre-calibrated range; otherwise, the ADC is
overranged. Table 11 lists example values of the offset register.

The full-scale calibration word is 24 bits consisting of three 8-bit registers, as listed in Table 12. The full-scale
calibration value is in straight-binary format, normalized to a unity-gain factor at a value of 400000h. Table 13
lists register values for selected gain factors. Gain errors greater than unity are corrected by using full-scale
values less than 400000h. Although the full-scale register provides a wide range of possible values, the input
signal after calibration must not exceed ±106% of the precalibrated input range; otherwise, the ADC is
overranged.

9.4.7.2 Offset Self-Calibration (SFOCAL)
The offset self-calibration command corrects offset errors internal to the ADC. When the offset self-calibration
command is sent, the ADC disconnects the external inputs, shorts the inputs to the PGA, and then averages 16
conversion results to compute the calibration value. Averaging the data reduces conversion noise to improve
calibration accuracy. When calibration is complete, the ADC restores the user input and performs one conversion
using the new calibration value.
9.4.7.3 Offset System-Calibration (SYOCAL)
The offset system-calibration command corrects system offset errors. For this type of calibration, the user shorts
the inputs to either the ADC or to the system. When the command is sent, the ADC averages 16 conversion
results to compute the calibration value. Averaging the data reduces conversion noise to improve calibration
accuracy. When calibration is complete, the ADC performs one conversion using the new calibration value.
9.4.7.4 Full-Scale Calibration (GANCAL)
The full-scale calibration command corrects gain error. To calibrate, apply a positive full-scale calibration voltage
to the ADC, wait for the signal to settle, and then send the calibration command. The ADC averages 16
conversion results to compute the calibration value. Averaging the data reduces conversion noise to improve
calibration accuracy. The ADC computes the full-scale calibration value so that the calibration voltage is scaled
to positive full scale output code. When calibration is complete, the ADC performs one new conversion using the
new calibration value.

9.4.7.5 Calibration Command Procedure
Use the following procedure to calibrate using commands. The register-lock mode must be UNLOCK for all
calibration commands. After power-on, make sure the reference voltage has stabilized before calibrating.
Perform offset calibration before full-scale calibration.
1. Configure the ADC as required.
2. Apply the appropriate calibration signal (zero or full-scale)
3. Take the START pin high or send the START command to start conversions. DRDY is driven high.
4. Before the conversion cycle completes, send the calibration command. Keep CS low otherwise the command
is cancelled. Send no other commands during the calibration period.
5. Calibration time depends on the data rate and digital filter mode. See Table 14. DRDY asserts low when
calibration is complete. The offset or full-scale calibration registers are updated with new values. At
calibration completion, new conversion data are ready using the new calibration value.

9.4.7.6 User Calibration Procedure
To user calibrate, apply the calibration voltage, acquire conversion data, and compute the calibration value. The
computed value is written to the corresponding calibration registers. Before starting calibration, preset the offset
and full-scale registers to 000000h and 400000h, respectively.
To offset calibrate, short the ADC inputs (or inputs to the system) and average n number of the conversion
results. Averaging conversion data reduces noise to improve calibration accuracy. Write the averaged value of
the conversion data to the offset registers.
To gain calibrate using a full scale calibration voltage, temporarily reduce the full scale register 95% to avoid
output clipped codes (set FSCAL[2:0] to 3CCCCCh). Acquire n number of conversions and average the
conversions to reduce noise to improve calibration accuracy. Compute the full-scale calibration value as shown
in Equation 7:
Full-Scale Calibration Value = Expected Code / Actual Code · 400000h
where
•
Expected code = 799998h using full scale calibration signal and 95% scale factor

9.5 Programming
9.5.1 Serial Interface
The serial interface is SPI-compatible and is used to read conversion data, configure registers, and control the
ADC. The serial interface consists of four control lines: CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT/DRDY. Most microcontroller
SPI peripherals can operate with the ADC. The interface operates in SPI mode 1, where CPOL = 0 and CPHA =
1. In SPI mode 1, SCLK idles low and data are updated or changed on SCLK rising edges; data are latched or
read on SCLK falling edges. Timing details of the SPI protocol are found in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
9.5.1.1 Chip Select (CS)
CS is an active-low input that selects the serial interface for communication. CS must be low during the entire
data transaction. When CS is taken high, the serial interface resets, SCLK input activity is ignored (blocking
commands), and DOUT/DRDY enters the high-impedance state. The operation of DRDY is not effected by CS. If
the ADC is a single device connected to the serial bus, CS can be tied low in order to reduce the serial interface
to three lines.
9.5.1.2 Serial Clock (SCLK)
SCLK is the serial clock input that shifts data into and out of the ADC. Output data are updated on the rising
edge of SCLK and input data are latched on the falling edge of SCLK. Return SCLK low after the data operation
is completed. SCLK is a Schmidt-triggered input designed to improve noise immunity. Even though SCLK is
noise resistant, keep SCLK as noise-free as possible to avoid unintentional SCLK transitions. Avoid ringing and
overshoot on the SCLK input. Place a series termination resistor close to the SCLK drive pin to reduce ringing.
9.5.1.3 Data Input (DIN)
DIN is the serial data input to the ADC. DIN is used to input commands and register data to the ADC. Data are
latched on the falling edge of SCLK.
9.5.1.4 Data Output/Data Ready (DOUT/DRDY)
The DOUT/DRDY pin is a dual-function output. The functions of this pin are data output and data ready. The
functionality changes automatically based on whether a read data operation is in progress. During a read data
operation, the functionality is data output. After the read operation is complete, the functionality changes to data
ready.
In data output mode, data are updated on the SCLK rising edge, therefore the host latches the data on the falling
edge of SCLK. In data-ready mode, the pin functions the same as DRDY (if CS is low) by asserting low when
data are ready. Therefore, monitor either DOUT/DRDY or DRDY to determine when data are ready. When CS is
high, the DOUT/DRDY pin is in the high-impedance mode (tri-state).
9.5.1.5 Serial Interface Auto-Reset
The serial interface is reset by taking CS high. Applications that tie CS low do not have the ability to reset the
serial interface by CS. If a false SCLK occurs (for example, caused by a noise pulse or clocking glitch), the serial
interface may inadvertently advance one or more bit positions, resulting in loss of synchronization to the host. If
loss of synchronization occurs, the ADC interface does not respond correctly until the interface is reset.
For applications that tie CS low, the serial interface auto-reset feature recovers the interface in the event that an
unintentional SCLK glitch occurs. When the first SCLK low-to-high transition occurs (either caused by a glitch or
by normal SCLK activity), seven SCLK transitions must occur within 65536 fCLK cycles (8.9 ms) to complete the
byte transaction, otherwise the serial interface resets. After reset, the interface is ready to begin the next byte
transaction. If the byte transaction is completed within the 65536 fCLK cycles, the serial interface does not reset.
The cycle of SCLK detection re-starts at the next rising edge of SCLK. The serial interface is reset by holding
SCLK low for a minimum 65536 fCLK cycles.
The auto-reset function is enabled by the SPITIM bit (default is off). See Figure 3 for timing details.

9.5.2 Data Ready (DRDY)
DRDY is an output that asserts low when conversion data are ready. After power-up, DRDY also indicates when
the ADC is ready for communication. The operation of DRDY depends on the conversion mode (continuous or
pulse) and whether the conversion data are retrieved or not. Figure 36 shows DRDY operation with and without
data retrieval in the two modes of conversion.

Figure 36. DRDY Operation
9.5.2.1 DRDY in Continuous-Conversion Mode
In continuous-conversion mode, DRDY is driven high when conversions are started and is driven low when
conversion data are ready. During data readback, DRDY returns high at the end of the read operation. If the
conversion data are not read, DRDY pulses high 16 fCLK cycles prior to the next falling edge.
To read conversion data before the next conversion is ready, send the complete read-data command 16 fCLK
cycles before the next DRDY falling edge. If the readback command is sent less than 16 fCLK cycles before the
DRDY falling edge, either old or new conversion data are provided, depending on the timing of when the
command is sent. In the case that old conversion data are provided, DRDY driven low is delayed until after the
read data operation is completed. In this case, the DRDY bit of the STATUS byte is cleared to indicate the same
data have been read. If new conversion data are provided, DRDY transitions low at the normal period of the data
rate. In this case, the DRDY bit of the STATUS byte is set to indicate that new data have been read. To make
sure new data are read back, wait until DRDY asserts low before starting the data read operation.
9.5.2.2 DRDY in Pulse-Conversion Mode
DRDY is driven high at conversion start and is driven low when the conversion data are ready. During the data
read operation DRDY remains low until a new conversion is started.
9.5.2.3 Data Ready by Software Polling
Use software polling of data ready in lieu of hardware polling of DRDY or DOUT/DRDY. To software poll, read
the STATUS register and poll the DRDY bit. In order to not skip conversion data in continuous conversion mode,
poll the bit at least as often as the period of the data rate. If the DRDY bit is set, then conversion data are new
since the previous data read operation. If the bit is cleared, conversion data are not new since the previous data
read operation. In this case, the previous conversion data are returned.
9.5.3 Conversion Data
Conversion data are read by the RDATA command. To read data, take CS low and issue the read data
command. The data field response consists of the optional STATUS byte, three data bytes, and the optional
CRC byte. The CRC is computed over the combination of status byte and conversion data bytes. See the
RDATA Command section for details to read conversion data.

Programming (continued)
9.5.3.1 Status byte (STATUS)
The status byte contains information on the operating state of the ADC. The STATUS byte is included with the
conversion data by enabling bit STATENB of register MODE3. Optionally, read the STATUS register directly to
read status information without the need to read conversion data. See Figure 42 for details.
9.5.3.2 Conversion Data Format
The conversion data are 24 bits, in two's-complement format to represent positive and negative values. The data
output begins with the most significant bit (sign bit) first. The data are scaled so that VIN = 0 V results in an
uncalibrated code value of 000000h; positive full scale equals 7FFFFFh and negative full scale equals 800000h;
see Table 15 for the uncalibrated code values. The data are clipped to 7FFFFFh (positive full scale) and
800000h (negative full scale) during positive and negative signal overdrive, respectively.

9.5.4 CRC
Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error checking code that detects communication errors to and from the
host. CRC is the division remainder of the data payload bytes by a fixed polynomial. The data payload is 1, 2, 3
or 4 bytes depending on the data operation. The CRC mode is optional and is enabled by the CRCENB bit. See
Table 35 to program the CRC mode.
The user computes the CRC corresponding to the two command bytes and appends the CRC to the command
string (3rd byte). A 4th, zero-value byte completes the command field. The ADC repeats the CRC calculation and
compares the calculation to the received CRC. If the user and repeated CRC values match, the command
executes and the ADC responds by transmitting the repeated CRC during the 4th byte of the command. If the
operation is conversion data or register data read, the ADC responds with a 2nd CRC that is computed over the
requested data payload bytes. The response data payload is 1, 3, or 4 bytes depending on the data operation.
If the user and repeated CRC values do not match, the command does not execute and the ADC responds with
an inverted CRC for the actual received command bytes. The inverted CRC is intended to signal the host of the
failed operation. The user terminates transmission of the command bytes to match the action of ADC termination.
The CRCERR bit is set in the STATUS register when a CRC error is detected. The ADC is ready to accept the
next command after a CRC error occurs at the end of the 4th byte.
The CRC data byte is the 8-bit remainder of the bitwise exclusive-OR (XOR) operation of the argument by a
CRC polynomial. The CRC polynomial is based on the CRC-8-ATM (HEC): X8 + X2 + X1 + 1. The nine binary
polynomial coefficients are: 100000111. The CRC calculation is preset with "1" data values.
The CRC mnemonics apply to the following command sections.
• CRC-2: Input CRC of command bytes 1 and 2. Except for WREG command, the value of byte 2 is arbitrary
• Out CRC-1: Output CRC of one register data byte
• Out CRC-2: Output CRC of two command bytes, inverted value if input CRC error detected
• Out CRC-3: Output CRC of three conversion data bytes
• Out CRC-4: Output CRC of three conversion data bytes plus STATUS byte
• Echo Byte 1: Echo of received input byte 1
• Echo Byte 2: Echo of received input byte 2

9.5.5 Commands
Commands read conversion data, control the ADC, and read and write register data. See Table 16 for the list of
commands. Send only the commands that are listed in Table 16. The ADC executes commands at completion of
the 2nd byte (no CRC verification) or at completion of the 4th byte (with CRC verification). Follow the two byte or
four byte format according to the CRC mode. Except for register write commands, the value of the second
command byte is arbitrary but the value is included in the CRC calculation (total of two-byte CRC). If a CRC error
is detected, the ADC does not execute the command. Taking CS high before the command is completed results
in termination of the command. When CS is taken low, the communication frame is reset to start a new
command.

9.6 Register Map
The register map consists of 19, one-byte registers. Collectively, the registers are used to configure the ADC to
the desired operating mode. Access the registers by using the RREG and WREG (read-register and writeregister) commands. Register data are accessed one register byte at a time for each command operation. At
power-on or device reset, the registers are reset to the default values, as shown in the Default column of
Table 29. Writing new data to certain registers causes the ADC conversion in progress to restart. These registers
are listed in the Restart column in Table 29.
Register-write access is enabled or disabled by the UNLOCK and LOCK commands, respectively. The default
mode is register UNLOCK. See the LOCK Command section for more details.

These three registers are the 24-bit offset calibration word. The
offset calibration is two's complement format. The ADC subtracts
the offset value from the conversion result before the full-scale
operation.

Full-Scale Calibration
These three registers are the 24-bit full scale calibration word.
The full-scale calibration is straight binary format. The ADC
divides the register value by 400000h then multiplies the result
with the conversion data. The scaling operation occurs after the
offset operation.

10 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. 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
10.1.1 Input Range
In PGA mode, the input voltage must be within the specified input range for linear operation. The following
exercise shows how to use Equation 5 to verify the input voltage is within specification. The exercise is a
thermocouple with the negative lead connected to AINCOM and the level-shift voltage enabled (2.5 V). The gain
factor = 32 and the ADC is powered by a single 5-V power supply. The summary of conditions are:
• VAINN = Negative absolute input voltage = 2.5 V
• VAINP = Positive absolute input voltage = 2.56 V
• VIN = Differential input voltage = 60 mV
• AVDD = 4.75 V (worst-case minimum)
• AVSS = 0 V
• Gain = 32
Evaluation of the equation results in:
1.23 V < 2.5 V and 2.56 V < 3.52 V
The inequality is satisfied, therefore the absolute input voltages are within the specified PGA input range. The
input requirement can also be verified by measuring the PGA output voltages (pins CAPP and CAPN) with a
voltmeter. Check that both outputs are within the range: AVSS + 0.3 V < V(CAPP) and V(CAPN) < AVDD – 0.3 V,
under the worst-case input and power-supply conditions.
10.1.2 Input Overload
Observe the input overvoltage precautions as outlined in the ESD Diodes section. If an overvoltage condition
occurs on an unused channel, the overvoltage channel may crosstalk to the measurement channel. One solution
is to externally clamp the inputs with low-forward voltage diodes as shown in Figure 56. The external diodes
divert the overvoltage current around the ADC inputs to the power supply and ground. Be aware of the reverse
leakage current of the Schottky diodes that may lead to measurement errors.

10.1.3 Burn-Out Current Source
When using the burn-out current sources, be aware of the offset error caused by the currents flowing through
impedances in the input path, including the multiplexer resistance RMUX), external filter resistors and the internal
impedance of the sensor REXT), as shown in Figure 57. In many cases, the offset error can be calibrated. Be
aware that the combination of chop mode and high data rates increases the input current to the PGA. The
increased input current can affect the accuracy of the burn-out current sources.

10.1.4 Unused Inputs and Outputs
• Analog inputs:
To minimize input leakage of the measurement channel, tie unused inputs to mid-supply voltage (AVDD +
AVSS) / 2 or to AVDD.
• Digital I/O:
Not all the digital I/Os may be needed to operate the ADC. Be sure not to float both used and unused digital
inputs, including during power-down mode. The following is a summary of the optional digital I/Os connection:
• CS: Tie CS low to permanently enable the serial interface.
• CLKIN: Tie CLKIN to DGND to permanently operate the ADC with the internal oscillator.
• START: Tie START to DGND to control conversions by command. Tie START to DVDD to permanently
free-run conversions (Continuous-conversion mode only)
• RESET: Tie RESET to DVDD if not using hardware reset. The ADC is reset at power-on. The ADC is also
reset by the RESET command.
• PWDN: Tie PWDN to DVDD if not using the hardware power-down mode. The ADC can be powered down
by software.
• DRDY: The functionality of the DRDY output is also provided by the dual-mode DOUT/DRDY pin. The
DOUT/DRDY output is active when CS is low. Data ready is also determined by software polling. Because
the conversion data are buffered, data can be read at any time without the need to synchronize to data
ready.

10.1.5 AC-Excitation
Figure 58 shows a example of an AC-excited bridge measurement system. The example shown omits optional
filter components for clarity. The transistors switch the bridge excitation voltage by drive signals provided by the
GPIO drivers through the analog input pins. The timing of the drive signals are synchronized to the ADC
conversions. The drive signals do not overlap in order to avoid bridge commutation during the switching phase of
the drive signal. The transistors gate resistors bias the transistors off at power-on. At host start-up, the host
configures the ADC to the AC-excitation mode. See Figure 7 for timing of the drive signals.

3. Program the 2-wire or 4-wire AC-excitation mode
4. Program the 2 GPIOs or 4 GPIOs internal connection to the analog input pins
5. Program the 2 GPIOs or 4 GPIOs as outputs to enable drive signals at the analog input pins.

10.1.6 Serial Interface and Digital Connections
Figure 59 shows an example of the digital connections from a host µC to the ADC. Not all I/O connections are
necessary for basic ADC operation; see the Unused Inputs and Outputs section. Impedance-matching resistors
in series with the I/O PCB traces help reduce overshoot and ringing, and is particularly helpful over long trace
runs.

10.2 Typical Application
Figure 60 shows a fault-protected, 3-wire RTD application with hardware-based, lead-wire compensation. Two
current sources are used together to compensate the RTD lead wire resistance. One current source (IDAC1)
provides excitation to the RTD element through RLEAD1. The reference voltage of the ADC is derived directly from
this current by resistor RREF. The second current source cancels lead-wire resistance by generating a voltage
drop on lead-wire resistance RLEAD2 equal to the voltage drop of RLEAD1. Because the RRTD signal voltage is
measured differentially via inputs AIN2 and AIN3, the voltages across the lead wire resistance cancel. Resistor
RBIAS level-shifts the RTD signal voltage to within the ADC input range. The current sources route to the RTD
element through low VF diodes to provide input fault protection.

10.2.1 Design Requirements
The key considerations in the design of a 3-wire RTD circuit are the accuracy, stability and noise of the
measurement, accuracy of the lead-wire compensation and self-heating of the sensor. Stability of the
measurement is determined by the offset and gain drift of the ADC and by the drift of the external reference
resistor. Measurement noise is determined by the ADC sample rate and by the digital filter settings. These
parameters are not summarized here. Table 45 summarizes the basic design goals for a 3-wire Pt100 RTD.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
IDAC1 current flows through reference resistor, RREF, which generates the ADC reference voltage, VREF = IIDAC1 ·
RREF. IDAC1 current also flows through the RTD element. Since the same current flows through RREF and the
RTD element, the RTD measurement is ratiometric, which means the drift and error of the current source are
cancelled. Therefore, the measurement accuracy is solely dependent on the tolerance of RREF and on ADC gain
and offset errors. The errors are calibrated by host software control using shorted-input calibration and using a
400 Ω precision resistor for full-scale calibration.
The current of IDAC2 is programmed to the same value as IDAC1 and is connected to RLEAD2. IDAC2 generates
an equal voltage drop across RLEAD1 and IDAC1. The accuracy of lead-wire compensation depends on the
matching error between IDAC1 to IDAC2.
Using RRTD = 400 Ω, IDAC current = 500 µA, and gain = 8, the minimum ADC reference voltage requirement
calculates to 1.6 V. To provide 10% design margin, RREF calculates to 3.52 kΩ (1.76 V / 500 µA). 500 µA is
selected to minimize heating of the sensor.
Resistor RBIAS level-shifts the RTD voltage to meet the input range requirement of the ADC. This voltage is VRTDN
and the low limit is calculated by Equation 8. The VRTDN low limit is 1 V.
AVSS + 0.3 V + VRTD · (Gain – 1) / 2 ≤ VRTDN
(8)
Using 10% design margin, RBIAS calculates to 1.1 kΩ = 1.1 V / (2 · 500 µA). The next step is to verify the positive
RTD voltage (VRTDP) does not exceed the maximum input range, as shown in Equation 9:
Maximum VRTDP ≤ AVDD – 0.3 V – VRTD · (Gain – 1) / 2
(9)
Evaluation of the equation results in the VRTDP high limit = 3.75 V. Calculate the actual VRTDP input voltage by
Equation 10:
Actual VRTDP = VRTDN + IIDAC1 · ( RRTD + 2 · RLEAD) = 1.1 V + 500 µA · (400 Ω + 20 Ω) = 1.31 V
(10)
VRTDN = 1.1 V and VRTDP = 1.31 V satisfy the negative and positive input voltage requirements of the ADC,
respectively.
Verify the burden voltage of current source IDAC1 is below the specified compliance range. The burden voltage
is the sum of voltages in the IDAC1 loop as calculated by VRTDP+ (IDAC1 · RREF) + VD ( VD= external diode
voltage). The result is 3.37 V, which meets the specified compliance voltage of the current source.
External filter components RF1, RF2, CDIF1, CCM1, CCM2) and RF3, RF4, CDIF2, CCM3, and CCM4) filter the signal and
reference inputs of the ADC. The filters remove both differential and common-mode noise. The input signal
differential filter cutoff frequency as calculated by Equation 11:
fDIF = 1 / [2π · RF1 + RF2) · RDIF1 + CM1|| CM2)]
(11)
The Input signal common-mode filter is calculated by Equation 12:
fCM = 1 / (2π · RF1 · CM1) = 1 / (2π · RF2 · CM2)
(12)

Component mismatch in the common-mode filter converts common-mode noise into differential noise. Use a
differential capacitor CDIF1 10× higher value than the common-mode capacitors, CCM1 and CCM2 to minimize the
effects of mismatch. The recommended range of input resistors is 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ; increasing the resistance
beyond 10 kΩ beyond can compromise noise and drift performance of the ADC. Use high-quality C0G ceramics
or film-type capacitors. For consistent noise performance across the full RTD temperature range, match the
corner frequencies of the input and reference filters. Detailed information is found in the RTD Ratiometric
Measurements and Filtering Using the ADS1148 and ADS1248 Family of Devices application report.
10.2.3 Application Curves
Figure 61 shows the resistance measurement results. The measurements are taken at TA = 25°C. The data are
taken using a precision resistor simulator with a 3-wire connection in place of the RTD. A system offset
calibration is performed using shorted inputs. A system gain calibration is performed using a 390-Ω precision
resistor. The measurement data are in ohms and do not include the error of the RTD sensor. The measured
resistance error is < ±0.02 Ω over the 20-Ω to 400-Ω range.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The ADC requires an analog power supply (AVDD, AVSS) and digital power supply (DVDD). The analog power
supply can be bipolar (AVDD = +2.5 V and AVSS = –2.5 V) or unipolar (AVDD = 5 V and AVSS = DGND). The
digital supply range is 2.7 V to 5.25 V. DVDD powers the ADC core by use of an internal regulator. DVDD also
sets the digital I/O voltage. Keep in mind that the GPIO I/O voltages are AVDD and AVSS. Voltage ripple
produced by switch-mode power supplies may interfere with the ADC conversions. Use low-dropout regulators
(LDOs) to reduce switch-mode power supply ripple.
11.1 Power-Supply Decoupling
Good power-supply decoupling is important in order to achieve optimum performance. Power supplies must be
decoupled close to the power supply pins using short, direct connections to ground. For the analog supply, place
0.1-µF and 10-µF capacitors between AVDD and AVSS and 0.1-µF capacitors from each supply to ground.
Connect a 1-µF capacitor from DVDD to the ground plane. Connect a 1-µF capacitor from BYPASS to the
ground plane.
11.2 Analog Power-Supply Clamp
It is important to evaluate circumstances when an input signal is present with the ADC, both powered and
unpowered. When the input signal exceeds the power-supply voltage, it is possible to backdrive the analog
power-supply voltage with the input signal through a conduction path of the internal ESD diodes. Backdriving the
ADC power supply can also occur when the power-supply is on. The backdriven current path is illustrated in
Figure 63. Depending on how the power supply responds during a backdriven condition, it is possible to exceed
the maximum rated ADC supply voltage. The ADC voltage must not be exceeded at all times. One solution is to
clamp the analog supply to safe voltage using an external zener diode.

12 Layout
Good layout practices are crucial to realize the full-performance of the ADC. Poor grounding can quickly degrade
the noise performance. The following layout guidelines help provide the best results.
12.1 Layout Guidelines
For best performance, dedicate an entire PCB layer to a ground plane and do not route any other signal traces
on this layer. However, depending on restrictions imposed by specific end equipment, a dedicated ground plane
may not be practical. If ground plane separation is necessary, make a direct connection of the planes at the
ADC. Do not connect individual ground planes at multiple locations because this configuration creates ground
loops.
Route digital traces away from the CAPP and CAPN pins, away from the REFOUT pin, and away from all analog
inputs and associated components in order to minimize interference.
Avoid long traces on DOUT/DRDY, because high capacitance on this pin can lead to increase of ADC noise
levels. Use a series resistor or a buffer if long traces are used.
The internal reference output return shares the same pin as the AVSS power supply. To minimize coupling
between the power supply and reference-return trace, route the traces separately; ideally, as a star connection to
the AVSS pin.
Use C0G capacitors on the analog inputs and for the CAPP to CAPN capacitor. Use ceramic capacitors (for
example, X7R grade) for the power supply decoupling capacitors. High-K capacitors (Y5V) are not
recommended. The REFOUT pin requires a 10-µF capacitor and can be either ceramic or tantalum type. Place
the required capacitors as close as possible to the device pins using short, direct traces. For optimum
performance, use low-impedance connections on the ground-side connections of the bypass capacitors.
When applying an external clock, be sure the clock is free of overshoot and glitches. A source-termination
resistor placed at the clock buffer often helps reduce overshoot. Glitches present on the clock input can lead to
noise within the conversion data.
12.2 Layout Example
Figure 64 is an example layout of the ADS1261-Q1, requiring a minimum of three PCB layers. The example
circuit is shown with single supply operation (AVSS = DGND). In this example, the inner layer is dedicated to the
ground plane and the outer layers are used for signal and power traces. If a four-layer PCB is used, dedicate the
additional inner layer as the power plane. In this example, the ADC is oriented in such a way to minimize
crossover of the analog and digital signal traces.
