Product Overview

The ADS1298 is a Texas Instruments Signal_Chain analog front-end with eight 24-bit delta-sigma ADC channels and simultaneous sampling. Each channel includes a built-in programmable gain amplifier with gain settings of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, or 12. The output data rate range is 250 SPS to 32 kSPS, supporting digital pace detection capability at higher data rates.

Integrated signal-chain blocks include a built-in reference, built-in oscillator, SPI-compatible serial interface, flexible per-channel input mux, lead-off detection, right leg drive amplifier, and amplifiers for Wilson Central Terminal and Goldberger central terminals. ADS129xR versions also integrate respiration impedance measurement.

Package options are 64-ball BGA 8.00 mm x 8.00 mm and TQFP-64 10.00 mm x 10.00 mm. Supply ranges are 2.7 V to 5.25 V for AVDD and 1.65 V to 3.6 V for DVDD. The device is specified with 0.75 mW/channel power consumption, 4 uVPP input-referred noise at 150 Hz bandwidth and gain 6, 200 pA input bias current, and -115 dB CMRR.
