The ADS1294/6/8 have a flexible input multiplexer
per channel that can be independently connected to
the internally-generated signals for test, temperature,
and lead-off detection. Additionally, any configuration
of input channels can be selected for derivation of the
right leg drive (RLD) output signal. The ADS1294/6/8
operate at data rates as high as 32kSPS, thereby
allowing the implementation of software pace
detection. Lead-off detection can be implemented
internal to the device, either with a pull-up/pull-down
resistor or an excitation current sink/source. Three
integrated amplifiers generate the Wilson Central
Terminal (WCT) and the Goldberger Central
Terminals (GCT) required for a standard 12-lead
ECG.

DESCRIPTION
The ADS1294/6/8 are a family of multichannel,
simultaneous sampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ)
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with a built-in
programmable gain amplifier (PGA), internal
reference, and an onboard oscillator. The
ADS1294/6/8 incorporate all of the features that are
commonly required in medical electrocardiogram
(ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) applications.
