Product Overview

The ADS1258 is a Texas Instruments Signal_Chain converter specified as a 16-channel 24-bit delta-sigma ADC. Its analog input multiplexer supports 16 single-ended or 8 differential inputs, while the converter provides 24-bit resolution with no missing codes. Conversion throughput is specified from 1.953 to 125 kSPS in fixed-channel mode and from 1.805 to 23.739 kSPS in auto-scan mode.

The device uses an RTC package, QFN-48, and supports a SPI-compatible serial interface with timing specifications for SCLK, CS, DIN, DOUT, and DRDY. It also includes 8 general-purpose inputs/outputs on GPIO[7:0]. Clocking can use an external CLKIO input from 0.1 to 16 MHz or a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator with a 15.729 MHz clock output.

Analog performance parameters include ±1.06 VREF full-scale input voltage, 65 kΩ typical differential input impedance, 80 Ω typical on-channel resistance, -110 dB typical crosstalk at 1 kHz, and common-mode rejection of 90 dB minimum and 100 dB typical at 60 Hz. Integrated monitor functions cover external reference, analog supply, and temperature-sensor measurements for multichannel sensor and system-monitoring designs.
