2.3.1 ADS127L21B

The ADS127L21B is a high-precision, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ), analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring programmable digital filters. This digital filter has data rates up to 512kSPS using the wideband filter and up to 1365kSPS using the low-latency sinc filter. The device offers an excellent combination of ac performance and dc precision with low power consumption.

The low-drift modulator achieves excellent dc precision and an industry-leading INL specification of 0.8ppm (0°C to 70°C) and outstanding ac performance with low wideband noise. The power-scalable architecture features four speed modes to optimize data rate, resolution, and power consumption. Signal and reference input buffers reduce driver loading for increased accuracy.
