DESCRIPTION
Based on the single-channel ADS1271, the ADS1278
(octal) is a 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with data rates up to 128 k samples
per second (SPS), allowing simultaneous sampling of
eight channels.
Selectable Operating Modes:
High-Speed: 128 kSPS, 106 dB SNR
High-Resolution: 52 kSPS, 111 dB SNR
Low-Power: 52 kSPS, 31 mW/ch
Low-Speed: 10 kSPS, 7 mW/ch
Traditionally, industrial delta-sigma ADCs offering
good drift performance use digital filters with large
passband droop. As a result, they have limited signal
bandwidth and are mostly suited for dc
measurements. High-resolution ADCs in audio
applications offer larger usable bandwidths, but the
offset and drift specifications are significantly weaker
than respective industrial counterparts. The ADS1278
combines these types of converters, allowing high-
precision industrial measurement with excellent dc
and ac specifications.

Linear Phase Digital Filter
SPI™ or Frame-Sync Serial Interface
Low Sampling Aperture Error
Modulator Output Option (digital filter bypass)
Analog Supply: 5 V
Digital Core: 1.8 V
I/O Supply: 1.8 V to 3.3 V
Currently Available in an 84-Pin HFQ Package
and a KGD Chiptray Option
The
high-order,
chopper-stabilized
modulator
achieves very low drift with low in-band noise. The
onboard decimation filter suppresses modulator and
signal out-of-band noise. These ADCs provide a
usable signal bandwidth up to 90% of the Nyquist
rate with less than 0.005 dB of ripple.
