Product Overview

The ADS1259 is a Texas Instruments 24-bit delta-sigma ADC for Signal_Chain designs that require differential conversion with no missing codes. Its analog input span is defined as VIN = AINP - AINN with a full-scale range of ±VREF, and the output data rate is programmable from 10 to 14400 SPS. The analog inputs specify 120 kΩ typical differential input impedance and 500 kΩ typical common-mode input impedance.

Accuracy-related specifications include ±40 µV typical offset error, ±1 µV typical offset error after calibration with 16-reading averaging, and 0.05 µV/°C typical offset drift over -40°C to +105°C. Gain error is ±0.05% typical before calibration and ±0.0002% typical after calibration. The ADS1259B variant has tighter INL and reference-drift entries in the extracted datasheet data.

The device uses a SPI-compatible interface with CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT pins and supports a 4 MHz maximum serial clock rate. It is offered in a 20-pin PW TSSOP-20 package. Supply operation includes AVDD from AVSS + 4.75 V to AVSS + 5.25 V, DVDD from 2.7 V to 5.25 V, and specified electrical characteristics from -40°C to +105°C.
