The ADS1285 is a 32-bit, low-power, analog-to-digital converter (ADC), with a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and a finite impulse response (FIR) filter. The ADC is designed for the demanding needs of seismology equipment requiring low-noise precision digitization and extended battery run time.

The low-noise PGA allows direct connection of geophones and transformer-coupled hydrophones without the need of an external amplifier.

The ADC incorporates a high-resolution, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator and a FIR filter with programmable phase response. The high-pass filter removes dc and low-frequency content from the signal. Clock frequency error is compensated by the sample rate converter with 7-ppb resolution.

Choice of power modes optimize dynamic range verses power consumption. Power consumption is further reduced by PGA bypass operation.

The ADC is available in a compact 5-mm × 5-mm VQFN package and is fully specified over the –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range.
