DESCRIPTION
The ADS1254 is a precision, wide dynamic range, delta-
sigma, Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter with 24-bit reso-
lution. The delta-sigma architecture is used for wide dy-
namic range and to ensure 24 bits of no missing codes
performance. An effective resolution of 19 bits (1.8ppm of
rms noise) is achieved for conversion rates up to 20kHz.
The ADS1254 is designed for high-resolution measurement
applications in cardiac diagnostics, smart transmitters, in-
dustrial process control, weight scales, chromatography, and
portable instrumentation. The converter includes a flexible,
two-wire synchronous serial interface for low-cost isolation.
The ADS1254 is a multi-channel converter and is offered in
an SSOP-20 package.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instru-
ments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

Input: Digital Ground
Digital Output: Serial Data Output/Data
Ready. This output indicates that a new
output word is available from the ADS1254
data output register. The serial data is
clocked out of the serial data output shift
register using SCLK.
Digital Input: Serial Clock. The serial clock
is in the form of a CMOS-compatible clock.
The serial clock operates independently
from the system clock, therefore, it is pos-
sible to run SCLK at a higher frequency
than CLK. The normal state of SCLK is
LOW. Holding SCLK HIGH will either ini-
tiate a modulator reset for synchronizing
multiple converters or enter power-down
mode. This is a Schmitt-Trigger input.

channel. This is a Schmitt-Trigger Input
