FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The ADS1220 is a precision, 24-bit, analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) offered in a leadless QFN-16 or a
TSSOP-16 package. The device features two
differential or four single-ended inputs through a very

Wide Supply Range: 2.3 V to 5.5 V
Programmable Gain: 1 V/V to 128 V/V
Programmable Data Rates: Up to 2 kSPS
50-Hz and 60-Hz Rejection at 20 SPS
Low-Noise PGA: 90 nVRMS at 20 SPS
(PGA), two
programmable excitation current sources, an internal
reference, an oscillator, a low-side bridge switch, and
a precision temperature sensor. The many integrated
features and the simple control of the ADS1220
through an SPI-compatible interface ease precision
measurements of the most common sensor signals.
Dual Matched Programmable Current Sources:
10 μA to 1500 μA
The device can perform conversions at data rates of
up to 2000 samples-per-second (SPS) with single-
cycle settling. The internal PGA offers gains of up to
128 V/V. This PGA makes the ADS1220 ideally-
suited for applications measuring small signals, such
as thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors
(RTDs), thermistors, and bridge sensors. The device
supports true bipolar analog supplies in the event that
single-ended signals referenced to ground must be
measured using the PGA. Alternatively, the device
can be configured to bypass the internal PGA while
still providing gains of up to 4 V/V, allowing for rail-to-
rail input signals with no loss of signal integrity when
running from a single analog supply.

The device operates in either duty-cycle mode
(consuming 120 µA of current), normal mode
(consuming 415 µA of current), or turbo mode (for
highest data rates). The ADS1220 operates over a
temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
