The ADS1232 and ADS1234 (ADS123x) are
precision, 24-bit, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). With a low-noise
programmable gain amplifier (PGA), a precision delta-sigma ADC, and internal
oscillator. The ADS123x provides a complete front-end solution for bridge sensor
applications including weigh scales, strain gauges, and pressure sensors.
An input multiplexer (MUX) accepts
either two (ADS1232) or four (ADS1234) differential inputs. The ADS1232 also
includes a temperature sensor to monitor ambient temperature. The low-noise PGA has
a selectable gain of 1, 2, 64, or 128, supporting a full-scale differential input of
±2.5V, ±1.25V, ±39mV, or ±19.5mV.
The delta-sigma ADC provides a maximum
of 23.5-bits effective resolution, and supports two data rates: 10SPS (providing
50Hz and 60Hz rejection) and 80SPS. The ADS123x can be clocked externally using an
oscillator or a crystal, or by the internal oscillator.
Offset calibration is performed
on-demand, and the ADS123x can be put in a low-power standby mode or shut off
completely in power-down mode. The ADS123x are operated through simple pin-driven
control—there are no digital registers to program.
Data are output over a two-wire serial
interface that connects directly to the MSP430 and other microcontrollers.
