24-Bit ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER  
DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES  
DELTA-SIGMA A/D CONVERTER  
The ADS1210 and ADS1211 are precision, wide dynamic  
range, delta-sigma Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters with  
24-bit resolution operating from a single +5V supply. The  
differential inputs are ideal for direct connection to transduc-  
ers or low-level voltage signals. The delta-sigma architec-  
ture is used for wide dynamic range and to ensure 22 bits  
of no-missing-code performance. An effective resolution of  
23 bits is achieved through the use of a very low-noise input  
amplifier at conversion rates up to 10Hz. Effective resolu-  
tions of 20 bits can be maintained up to a sample rate of  
1kHz through the use of the unique Turbo modulator mode  
of operation. The dynamic range of the converters is further  
increased by providing a low-noise programmable gain  
amplifier with a gain range of 1 to 16 in binary steps.

NOTES: (1) In order to achieve the converter’s full-scale range, the input must be fully differential (AINN = 2 • REFIN – AINP). If the input is single-ended (AINN or  
INP is fixed), then the full-scale range is one-half that of the differential range. (2) This range is set with external resistors and VBIAS (as described in the text).  
A
Other ranges are possible. (3) Input impedance is higher with lower fXIN. (4) Applies after calibration. (5) After system calibration, these errors will be of the order  
of the effective resolution of the converter. Refer to the Typical Performance Curves which apply to the desired mode of operation. (6) Recalibration can remove  
these errors. (7) The specification also applies at fDATA /i, where i is 2, 3, 4, etc. (8) Voltages at the analog inputs must remain within AGND to AVDD. (9) The common-  
mode rejection test is performed with a 100mV differential input.

Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled  
with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper han-  
dling and installation procedures can cause damage.  
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degrada-  
tion to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits  
may be more susceptible to damage because very small  
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its  
published specifications.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
The ADS1210 and ADS1211 are precision, high dynamic  
range, self-calibrating, 24-bit, delta-sigma A/D converters  
capable of achieving very high resolution digital results.  
Each contains a programmable gain amplifier (PGA); a  
second-order delta-sigma modulator; a programmable digi-  
tal filter; a microcontroller including the Instruction, Com-  
mand and Calibration registers; a serial interface; a clock  
generator circuit; and an internal 2.5V reference. The  
ADS1211 includes a 4-channel input multiplexer.  
The output data rate of the ADS1210/11 can be varied from  
a few hertz to as much as 15,625kHz, trading off lower  
resolution results for higher data rates. In addition, the data  
rate determines the first null of the digital filter and sets the  
–3dB point of the input bandwidth (see the Digital Filter  
section). Changing the data rate of the ADS1210/11 does not  
result in a change in the sampling rate of the input capacitor.  
The data rate effectively sets the number of samples which  
are used by the digital filter to obtain each conversion result.  
A lower data rate results in higher resolution, lower input  
bandwidth, and different notch frequencies than a higher  
data rate. It does not result in any change in input impedance  
or modulator frequency, or any appreciable change in power  
consumption.  
In order to provide low system noise, common-mode rejec-  
tion of 115dB and excellent power supply rejection, the  
design topology is based on a fully differential switched  
capacitor architecture. Turbo Mode, a unique feature of the  
ADS1210/11, can be used to boost the sampling rate of the  
input capacitor, which is normally 19.5kHz with a 10MHz  
clock. By programming the Command Register, the sam-  
pling rate can be increased to 39kHz, 78kHz, 156kHz, or  
312kHz. Each increase in sample rate results in an increase  
in performance when maintaining the same output data rate.  
The ADS1210/11 also includes complete on-board calibra-  
tion that can correct for internal offset and gain errors or  
limited external system errors. Internal calibration can be  
run when needed, or automatically and continuously in the  
background. System calibration can be run as needed and the  
appropriate input voltages must be provided to the ADS1210/  
11. For this reason, there is no continuous System Calibra-  
tion Mode. The calibration registers are fully readable and  
writable. This feature allows for switching between various  
configurations—different data rates, Turbo Mode Rates, and  
gain settings—without re-calibrating.  
The programmable gain amplifier (PGA) of the ADS1210/  
11 can be set to a gain of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16—substantially  
increasing the dynamic range of the converter and simplify-  
ing the interface to the more common transducers (see Table  
I). This gain is implemented by increasing the number of  
samples taken by the input capacitor from 19.5kHz for a  
gain of 1 to 312kHz for a gain of 16. Since the Turbo Mode  
and PGA functions are both implemented by varying the  
sampling frequency of the input capacitor, the combination  
of PGA gain and Turbo Mode Rate is limited to 16 (see  
Table II). For example, when using a Turbo Mode Rate of  
8 (156kHz at 10MHz), the maximum PGA gain setting is 2.  
The various settings, rates, modes, and registers of the  
ADS1210/11 are read or written via a synchronous serial  
interface. This interface can operate in either a self-clocked  
mode (Master Mode) or an externally clocked mode (Slave  
Mode). In the Master Mode, the serial clock (SCLK) fre-  
quency is one-half of the ADS1210/11 XIN clock frequency.  
This is an important consideration for many systems and  
may determine the maximum ADS1210/11 clock that can be  
used.

The high resolution and flexibility of the ADS1210/11 allow  
these converters to fill a wide variety of A/D conversion  
tasks. In order to ensure that a particular configuration will  
meet the design goals, there are several important items  
which must be considered. These include (but are certainly  
not limited to) the needed resolution, required linearity,  
desired input bandwidth, power consumption goal, and sen-  
sor output voltage.

The remainder of this data sheet discusses the operation of

comparison of different configurations, “effective resolu-

For example, when the converter is configured with a 2.5V  
reference and placed in a gain setting of 2, the typical input  
voltage range is 1.25V to 3.75V. However, an input range of  
0V to 2.5V or 2.5V to 5V would also cover the converter’s  
full-scale range.

Voltage Span—This is simply the magnitude of the typical

Least Significant Bit (LSB) Weight—This is the theoreti-

DEFINITION OF TERMS  
2N  
An attempt has been made to be consistent with the termi-  
nology used in this data sheet. In that regard, the definition  
of each term is given as follows:  
where N is the number of bits in the digital output.  
Effective Resolution—The effective resolution of the  
ADS1210/11 in a particular configuration can be expressed  
in two different units: bits rms (referenced to output) and  
microvolts rms (referenced to input). Computed directly  
from the converter’s output data, each is a statistical calcu-  
lation based on a given number of results. Knowing one, the  
other can be computed as follows:  
Analog Input Differential Voltage—For an analog signal  
that is fully differential, the voltage range can be compared  
to that of an instrumentation amplifier. For example, if both  
analog inputs of the ADS1210 are at 2.5V, then the differ-  
ential voltage is 0V. If one is at 0V and the other at 5V, then  
the differential voltage magnitude is 5V. But, this is the case  
regardless of which input is at 0V and which is at 5V, while  
the digital output result is quite different.  
10V  
The analog input differential voltage is given by the follow-  
ing equation: AINP – AINN. Thus, a positive digital output is  
produced whenever the analog input differential voltage is  
positive, while a negative digital output is produced when-  
ever the differential is negative.

For example, when the converter is configured with a 2.5V  
reference and placed in a gain setting of 2, the positive full-  
scale output is produced when the analog input differential  
is 2.5V. The negative full-scale output is produced when the  
differential is –2.5V. In each case, the actual input voltages  
must remain within the AGND to AVDD range (see Table I).

ER in Vrms =

Actual Analog Input Voltage—The voltage at any one  
analog input relative to AGND.  
The 10V figure in each calculation represents the full-scale  
range of the ADS1210/11 in a gain setting of 1. This means  
that both units are absolute expressions of resolution—the  
performance in different configurations can be directly com-  
pared regardless of the units. Comparing the resolution of  
different gain settings expressed in bits rms requires ac-  
counting for the PGA setting.  
Full-Scale Range (FSR)—As with most A/D converters,  
the full-scale range of the ADS1210/11 is defined as the  
“input” which produces the positive full-scale digital output  
minus the “input” which produces the negative full-scale  
digital output.  
Main Controller—A generic term for the external  
microcontroller, microprocessor, or digital signal processor  
which is controlling the operation of the ADS1210/11 and  
receiving the output data.  
For example, when the converter is configured with a 2.5V  
reference and is placed in a gain setting of 2, the full-scale  
range is: [2.5V (positive full scale) minus –2.5V (negative  
full scale)] = 5V.  
Typical Analog Input Voltage Range—This term de-  
scribes the actual voltage range of the analog inputs which  
will cover the converter’s full-scale range, assuming that  
each input has a common-mode voltage that is greater than  
REFIN/PGA and smaller than (AVDD – REFIN/PGA).

The digital filter of the ADS1210/11 computes the output  
result based on the most recent results from the delta-sigma  
modulator. The number of modulator results that are used  
depend on the decimation ratio set in the Command Regis-  
ter. At the most basic level, the digital filter can be thought  
of as simply averaging the modulator results and presenting  
this average as the digital output.

While the decimation ratio determines the number of modu-

Also, since the conversion result is essentially an average,  
the data rate determines where the resulting notches are in  
the digital filter. For example, if the output data rate is 1kHz,  
then a 1kHz input frequency will average to zero during the  
1ms conversion cycle. Likewise, a 2kHz input frequency  
will average to zero, etc.

FIGURE 3. Digital Filter Response at a Data Rate of 60Hz.  
If the effective resolution at a 50Hz or 60Hz data rate is not  
adequate for the particular application, then power line fre-  
quencies could still be rejected by operating the ADS1210/11  
at 25/30Hz, 16.7/20Hz, 12.5/15Hz, etc. If a higher data rate  
is needed, then power line frequencies must either be rejected  
before conversion (with an analog notch filter) or after  
conversion (with a digital notch filter running on the main  
controller).  
In this manner, the data rate can be used to set specific notch  
frequencies in the digital filter response (see Figure 1 for the  
normalized response of the digital filter). For example, if the  
rejection of power line frequencies is desired, then the data  
rate can simply be set to the power line frequency. Figures  
2 and 3 show the digital filter response for a data rate of  
50Hz and 60Hz, respectively.

the effective resolution of the output data at a given data rate,  
but there is also an increase in power dissipation. For Turbo  
Mode Rates 2 and 4, the increase is slight. For rates 8 and  
16, the increase is more substantial. See the Typical Perfor-  
mance Curves for more information.  
The digital filter is described by the following transfer  
function:

In a Turbo Mode Rate of 16, the ADS1210/11 can offer 20

data rates is shown in Table IV while Table V shows the  
corresponding noise level in µVrms.

where N is the Decimation Ratio.  
This filter has a (sin(x)/x)3 response and is referred to a sinc3  
filter. For the ADS1210/11, this type of filter allows the data  
rate to be changed over a very wide range (nearly four orders  
of magnitude). However, the –3dB point of the filter is 0.262  
times the data rate. And, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 2,  
the rejection in the stopband (frequencies higher than the  
first notch frequency) may only be –40dB.

These factors must be considered in the overall system  
design. For example, with a 50Hz data rate, a significant  
signal at 75Hz may alias back into the passband at 25Hz.  
The analog front end can be designed to provide the needed  
attenuation to prevent aliasing, or the system may simply  
provide this inherently. Another possibility is increasing the  
data rate and then post filtering with a digital filter on the  
main controller.

The number of modulator results used to compute each  
conversion result is three times the Decimation Ratio. This  
means that any step change (or any channel change for the  
ADS1211) will require at least three conversions to fully  
settle. However, if the change occurs asynchronously, then at  
least four conversions are required to ensure complete set-  
tling. For example, on the ADS1211, the fourth conversion  
result after a channel change will be valid (see Figure 4).

TURBO MODE  
The ADS1210/11 offers a unique Turbo Mode feature which  
can be used to increase the modulator sampling rate by 2, 4,  
8, or 16 times normal. With the increase of modulator  
sampling frequency, there can be a substantial increase in

Frequency, and Turbo Mode Rate. (Gain set-  
ting of 1.)  
ADS1210, ADS1211

SBAS034B

The Turbo Mode Rate (TMR) is programmed via the Sam-  
pling Frequency bits of the Command Register. Due to the  
increase in input capacitor sampling frequency, higher Turbo  
Mode settings result in lower analog input impedance;  
CALIBRATION  
The ADS1210/11 offers several different types of calibra-  
tion, and the particular calibration desired is programmed  
via the Command Register. In the case of Background  
Calibration, the calibration will repeat at regular intervals  
indefinitely. For all others, the calibration is performed once  
and then normal operation is resumed.  
AIN Impedance () = (10MHz/fXIN)•4.3E6/(G•TMR)  
where G is the gain setting. Because the modulator rate also  
changes in direct relation to the Turbo Mode setting, higher  
values result in a lower impedance for the REFIN input:  
Each type of calibration is covered in detail in its respective  
section. In general, calibration is recommended immediately  
after power-on and whenever there is a “significant” change  
in the operating environment. The amount of change which  
should cause a re-calibration is dependent on the applica-  
tion, effective resolution, etc. Where high accuracy is impor-  
tant, re-calibration should be done on changes in tempera-  
ture and power supply. In all cases, re-calibration should be  
done when the gain, Turbo Mode, or data rate is changed.  
REFIN Impedance () = (10MHz/fXIN)•1E6/TMR  
The Turbo Mode Rate can be set to 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. Consult  
the graphs shown in the Typical Performance Curves for full  
details on the performance of the ADS1210/11 operating in  
different Turbo Mode Rates. Keep in mind that higher Turbo  
Mode Rates result in fewer available gain settings as shown  
in Table II.  
After a calibration has been accomplished, the Offset Cali-  
bration Register and the Full-Scale Calibration Register  
contain the results of the calibration. The data in these  
registers are accurate to the effective resolution of the  
ADS1210/11’s mode of operation during the calibration.  
Thus, these values will show a variation (or noise) equiva-  
lent to a regular conversion result.  
PROGRAMMABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER  
The programmable gain amplifier gain setting is programmed  
via the PGA Gain bits of the Command Register. Changes  
in the gain setting (G) of the programmable gain amplifier  
results in an increase in the input capacitor sampling fre-  
quency. Thus, higher gain settings result in a lower analog  
input impedance:  
For those cases where this error must be reduced, it is  
tempting to consider running the calibration at a slower data  
rate and then increasing the converter’s data rate after the  
calibration is complete. Unfortunately, this will not work as  
expected. The reason is that the results calculated at the  
slower data rate would not be valid for the higher data rate.  
Instead, the calibration should be done repeatedly. After  
each calibration, the results can be read and stored. After the  
desired number of calibrations, the main controller can  
compute an average and write this value into the calibration  
registers. The resulting error in the calibration values will be  
reduced by the square root of the number of calibrations  
which were averaged.  
AIN Impedance () = (10MHz/fXIN)•4.3E6/(G•TMR)  
where TMR is the Turbo Mode Rate. Because the modulator  
speed does not depend on the gain setting, the input imped-  
ance seen at REFIN does not change.  
The PGA can be set to gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. These gain  
settings with their resulting full-scale range and typical  
voltage range are shown in Table I. Keep in mind that higher  
Turbo Mode Rates result in fewer available gain settings as  
shown in Table II.  
SOFTWARE GAIN  
The calibration registers can also be used to provide system  
offset and gain corrections separate from those computed by  
the ADS1210/11. For example, these might be burned into  
E2PROM during final product testing. On power-on, the  
main controller would load these values into the calibration  
registers. A further possibility is a look-up table based on the  
current temperature.  
The excellent performance, flexibility, and low cost of the  
ADS1210/11 allow the converter to be considered for de-  
signs which would not normally need a 24-bit ADC. For  
example, many designs utilize a 12-bit converter and a high-  
gain INA or PGA for digitizing low amplitude signals. For  
some of these cases, the ADS1210/11 by itself may be a  
solution, even though the maximum gain is limited to 16.  
Note that the values in the calibration registers will vary from  
configuration to configuration and from part to part. There is  
no method of reliably computing what a particular calibration  
register should be to correct for a given amount of system  
error. It is possible to present the ADS1210/11 with a known  
amount of error, perform a calibration, read the desired  
calibration register, change the error value, perform another  
calibration, read the new value and use these values to  
interpolate an intermediate value.  
To get around the gain limitation, the digital result can  
simply be shifted up by “n” bits in the main controller—  
resulting in a gain of “n” times G, where G is the gain  
setting. While this type of manipulation of the output data  
is obvious, it is easy to miss how much the gain can be  
increased in this manner on a 24-bit converter.  
For example, shifting the result up by three bits when the  
ADS1210/11 is set to a gain of 16 results in an effective gain  
of 128. At lower data rates, the converter can easily provide  
more than 12 bits of resolution. Even higher gains are  
possible. The limitation is a combination of the needed data  
rate, desired noise performance, and desired linearity.

Mode bits are reset to 000 (Normal Mode). A single conver-  
sion is done with DRDY HIGH. After this conversion, the  
DRDY signal goes LOW indicating resumption of normal  
operation.  
Self-Calibration  
A self-calibration is performed after the bits 001 have been  
written to the Command Register Operation Mode bits  
(MD2 through MD0). This initiates the following sequence  
at the start of the next conversion cycle (see Figure 5). The  
DRDY signal will not go LOW but will remain HIGH and  
will continue to remain HIGH throughout the calibration  
sequence. The inputs to the sampling capacitor are discon-  
nected from the converter’s analog inputs and are shorted  
together. An offset calibration is performed over the next  
three conversion periods (four in Slave Mode). Then, the  
input to the sampling capacitor is connected across REFIN,  
and a full-scale calibration is performed over the next three  
conversions.  
Normal operation returns within a single conversion cycle  
because it is assumed that the input voltage at the converter’s  
input is not removed immediately after the offset calibration  
is performed. In this case, the digital filter already contains  
a valid result.  
For full system calibration, offset calibration must be per-  
formed first and then full-scale calibration. In addition, the  
offset calibration error will be the rms sum of the conversion  
error and the noise on the system offset voltage. See the  
System Calibration Limits section for information regarding  
the limits on the magnitude of the system offset voltage.  
After this, the Operation Mode bits are reset to 000 (normal  
mode) and the input capacitor is reconnected to the input.  
Conversions proceed as usual over the next three cycles in  
order to fill the digital filter. DRDY remains HIGH during  
this time. On the start of the fourth cycle, DRDY goes LOW  
indicating valid data and resumption of normal operation.  
System Full-Scale Calibration  
A system full-scale calibration is performed after the bits  
011 have been written to the Command Register Operation  
Mode bits (MD2 through MD0). This initiates the following  
sequence (see Figure 7). At the start of the next conversion  
cycle, the DRDY signal will not go LOW but will remain  
HIGH and will continue to remain HIGH throughout the  
calibration sequence. The full-scale calibration will be per-  
formed on the differential input voltage (2 • REFIN/G)  
present at the converter’s input over the next three conver-  
sion periods (four in Slave Mode). When this is done, the  
Operation Mode bits are reset to 000 (Normal Mode). A  
single conversion is done with DRDY HIGH. After this  
conversion, the DRDY signal goes LOW indicating resump-  
tion of normal operation.  
System Offset Calibration  
A system offset calibration is performed after the bits 010  
have been written to the Command Register Operation  
Mode bits (MD2 through MD0). This initiates the following  
sequence (see Figure 6). At the start of the next conversion  
cycle, the DRDY signal will not go LOW but will remain  
HIGH and will continue to remain HIGH throughout the  
calibration sequence. The offset calibration will be per-  
formed on the differential input voltage present at the  
converter’s input over the next three conversion periods

Background Calibration  
Pseudo System Calibration  
The Background Calibration Mode is entered after the bits  
101 have been written to the Command Register Operation  
Mode bits (MD2 through MD0). This initiates the following  
continuous sequence (see Figure 9). At the start of the next  
conversion cycle, the DRDY signal will not go LOW but  
will remain HIGH. The inputs to the sampling capacitor are  
disconnected from the converter’s analog input and shorted  
together. An offset calibration is performed over the next  
three conversion periods (in Slave Mode, the very first offset  
calibration requires four periods and all subsequent offset  
calibrations require three periods). Then, the input capacitor  
is reconnected to the input. Conversions proceed as usual  
over the next three cycles in order to fill the digital filter.  
DRDY remains HIGH during this time. On the next cycle,  
the DRDY signal goes LOW indicating valid data.  
The Pseudo System Calibration is performed after the bits  
100 have been written to the Command Register Operation  
Mode bits (MD2 through MD0). This initiates the following  
sequence (see Figure 8). At the start of the next conversion  
cycle, the DRDY signal will not go LOW but will remain  
HIGH and will continue to remain HIGH throughout the  
calibration sequence. The offset calibration will be performed  
on the differential input voltage present at the converter’s  
input over the next three conversion periods (four in Slave  
Mode). Then, the input to the sampling capacitor is discon-  
nected from the converter’s analog input and connected  
across REFIN. A gain calibration is performed over the next  
three conversions.  
After this, the Operation Mode bits are reset to 000 (normal  
mode) and the input capacitor is then reconnected to the

Also, during this cycle, the sampling capacitor is discon-  
nected from the converter’s analog input and is connected  
across REFIN. A gain calibration is initiated and proceeds  
over the next three conversions. After this, the input capaci-  
tor is once again connected to the analog input. Conversions  
proceed as usual over the next three cycles in order to fill the  
digital filter. DRDY remains HIGH during this time. On the  
next cycle, the DRDY signal goes LOW indicating valid  
data, the input to the sampling capacitor is shorted, and an  
offset calibration is initiated. At this point, the Background  
Calibration sequence repeats.  
This will be an important consideration in many systems  
which use a 2.5V or greater reference, as the input range is  
constrained by the expected power supply variations. In  
addition, the expected full-scale voltage will impact the  
allowable offset voltage (and vice-versa) as the combination  
of the two must remain within the power supply and ground  
potentials, regardless of the results obtained via the range  
calculation shown previously.  
There are only two solutions to this constraint: either the  
system design must ensure that the full-scale and offset  
voltage variations will remain within the power supply and  
ground potentials, or the part must be used in a gain of 2 or  
greater.  
In essence, the Background Calibration Mode performs  
continuous self-calibration where the offset and gain cali-  
brations are interleaved with regular conversions. Thus, the  
data rate is reduced by a factor of 6. The advantage is that  
the converter is continuously adjusting to environmental  
changes such as ambient or component temperature (due to  
airflow variations).  
SLEEP MODE  
The Sleep Mode is entered after the bits 110 have been  
written to the Command Register Operation Mode bits  
(MD2 through MD0). This mode is exited by entering a new  
mode into the MD2-MD0 bits.  
The ADS1210/11 will remain in the Background Calibra-  
tion Mode indefinitely. To move to any other mode, the  
Command Register Operation Mode bits (MD2 through  
MD0) must be set to the appropriate values.  
The Sleep Mode causes the analog section and a good deal  
of the digital section to power down. For full analog power  
down, the VBIAS generator and the internal reference must  
also be powered down by setting the BIAS and REFO bits  
in the Command Register accordingly. The power dissipa-  
tion shown in the Specifications Table is with the internal  
reference and the VBIAS generator disabled.  
System Calibration Offset and Full-Scale  
Calibration Limits  
The System Offset and Full-Scale Calibration range of the  
ADS1210/11 is limited and is listed in the Specifications  
Table. The range is specified as:  
To initiate serial communication with the converter while it  
is in Sleep Mode, one of the following procedures must be  
used: If CS is being used, simply taking CS LOW will  
enable serial communication to proceed normally. If CS is  
not being used (tied LOW) and the ADS1210/11 is in the  
Master Mode, then a falling edge must be produced on the  
SDIO line. If SDIO is LOW, the SDIO line must be taken  
HIGH for 2 • tXIN periods (minimum) and then taken LOW.  
Alternatively, SDIO can be forced HIGH after putting the  
ADS1210/11 to “sleep” and then taken LOW when the  
Sleep Mode is to be exited. Finally, if CS is not being used  
(tied LOW) and the ADS1210/11 is in the Slave Mode, then  
simply sending a normal Instruction Register command will  
re-establish communication.  
(VFS – | VOS |) < 1.3 • (2 • REFIN)/GAIN  
(VFS – | VOS |) > 0.7 • (2 • REFIN)/GAIN  
where VFS is the system full-scale voltage and | VOS | is the  
absolute value of the system offset voltage. In the following  
discussion, keep in mind that these voltages are differential  
voltages.  
For example, with the internal reference (2.5V) and a gain of  
two, the previous equations become (after some manipulation):  
VFS – 3.25 < VOS < VFS – 1.75  
If VFS is perfect at 2.5V (positive full-scale), then VOS must  
be greater than –0.75V and less than 0.75V. Thus, when offset  
calibration is performed, the positive input can be no more  
than 0.75V below or above the negative input. If this range is  
exceeded, the ADS1210/11 may not calibrate properly.  
Once serial communication is resumed, the Sleep Mode is  
exited by changing the MD2-MD0 bits to any other mode.  
When a new mode (other than Sleep) has been entered, the  
ADS1210/11 will execute a very brief internal power-up  
sequence of the analog and digital circuitry. Once this has  
been done, one normal conversion cycle is performed before  
the new mode is actually entered. At the end of this conversion  
cycle, the new mode takes effect and the converter will  
respond accordingly. The DRDY signal will remain HIGH  
through the first conversion cycle. It will also remain HIGH  
through the second, even if the new mode is the Normal Mode.  
This calculation method works for all gains other than one.  
For a gain of one and the internal reference (2.5V), the  
equation becomes:  
VFS – 6.5 < VOS < VFS – 3.5  
With a 5V positive full-scale input, VOS must be greater than  
–1.5V and less than 1.5V. Since the offset represents a  
common-mode voltage and the input voltage range in a gain  
of one is 0V to 5V, a common-mode voltage will cause the  
actual input voltage to possibly go below 0V or above 5V.  
The specifications also show that for the specifications to be  
valid, the input voltage must not go below AGND by more  
than 30mV or above AVDD by more than 30mV.  
If the VBIAS generator and/or the internal reference have  
been disabled, then they must be manually re-enabled via the  
appropriate bits in the Command Register. In addition, the  
internal reference will have to charge the external bypass  
capacitor(s) and possibly other circuitry. There may also be

considerations associated with VBIAS and the settling of  
external circuitry. All of these must be taken into account  
when determining the amount of time required to resume  
normal operation. The timing diagram shown in Figure 10  
does not take into account the settling of external circuitry.  
the analog signal must reside within this range, the linearity  
of the ADS1210/11 is only ensured when the actual analog  
input voltage resides within a range defined by AGND –  
30mV and AVDD +30mV. This is due to leakage paths  
which occur within the part when AGND and AVDD are  
exceeded.  
For this reason, the 0V to 5V input range (gain of 1 with a 2.5V  
reference) must be used with caution. Should AVDD be 4.75V,  
the analog input signal would swing outside of the tested  
specifications of the device. Designs utilizing this mode of  
operation should consider limiting the span to a slightly smaller  
range. Common-mode voltages are also a significant concern  
in this mode and must be carefully analyzed.

An input voltage range of 0.75V to 4.25V is the smallest  
span that is allowed if a full system calibration will be  
performed (see the Calibration section for more details).  
This also assumes an offset error of zero. A better choice  
would be 0.5V to 4.5V (a full-scale range of 9V). This span  
would allow some offset error, gain error, power supply  
drift, and common-mode voltage while still providing full  
system calibration over reasonable variation in each of these  
parameters.

ANALOG OPERATION  
ANALOG INPUT  
The actual input voltage exceeding AGND or AVDD should not  
be a concern in higher gain settings as the input voltage range  
will reside well within 0V to 5V. This is true unless the  
common-mode voltage is large enough to place positive full-  
scale or negative full-scale outside of the AGND to AVDD range.  
The input impedance of the analog input changes with  
ADS1210/11 clock frequency (fXIN), gain (G), and Turbo  
Mode Rate (TMR). The relationship is:  
AIN Impedance () = (10MHz/fXIN)•4.3E6/(G•TMR)  
REFERENCE INPUT  
Figure 11 shows the basic input structure of the ADS1210.  
The ADS1211 includes an input multiplexer, but this has  
little impact on the analysis of the input structure. The  
impedance is directly related to the sampling frequency of  
the input capacitor. The XIN clock rate sets the basic sam-  
pling rate in a gain of 1 and Turbo Mode Rate of 1. Higher  
gains and higher Turbo Mode Rates result in an increase of  
the sampling rate, while slower clock (XIN) frequencies  
result in a decrease.  
The input impedance of the REFIN input changes with clock  
frequency (fXIN) and Turbo Mode Rate (TMR). The relationship  
is:  
REFIN Impedance () = (10MHz/fXIN)•1E6/TMR  
Unlike the analog input, the reference input impedance has  
a negligible dependency on the PGA gain setting.  
The reference input voltage can vary between 2V and 3V. A  
nominal voltage of 2.5V appears at REFOUT, and this can be  
directly connected to REFIN. Higher reference voltages will  
cause the full-scale range to increase while the internal  
circuit noise of the converter remains approximately the  
same. This will increase the LSB weight but not the internal  
noise, resulting in increased signal-to-noise ratio and effec-  
tive resolution. Likewise, lower reference voltages will de-  
crease the signal-to-noise ratio and effective resolution.

REFERENCE OUTPUT  
The ADS1210/11 contains an internal +2.5V reference.  
Tolerances, drift, noise, and other specifications for this  
reference are given in the Specification Table. Note that it is  
not designed to sink or to source more than 1mA of current.  
In addition, loading the reference with a dynamic or variable  
load is not recommended. This can result in small changes  
in reference voltage as the load changes. Finally, for designs  
approaching or exceeding 20 bits of effective resolution, a  
low-noise external reference is recommended as the internal  
reference may not provide adequate performance.  
This input impedance can become a major point of consid-  
eration in some designs. If the source impedance of the input  
signal is significant or if there is passive filtering prior to the  
ADS1210/11, then a significant portion of the signal can be  
lost across this external impedance. How significant this  
effect is depends on the desired system performance.  
There are two restrictions on the analog input signal to the  
ADS1210/11. Under no conditions should the current into  
or out of the analog inputs exceed 10mA. In addition, while

The circuitry which generates the +2.5V reference can be  
disabled via the Command Register and will result in a lower  
power dissipation. The reference circuitry consumes a little over  
1.6mA of current with no external load. When the ADS1210/11  
is in its default state, the internal reference is enabled.  
be present. When enabled, the VBIAS circuitry consumes  
approximately 1mA with no external load.  
On power-up, external signals may be present before VBIAS  
is enabled. This can create a situation in which a negative  
voltage is applied to the analog inputs (–2.5V for the circuit  
shown in Figure 12), reverse biasing the negative input  
protection diode. This situation should not be a problem as  
long as the resistors R1 and R2 limit the current being  
sourced by each analog input to under 10mA (a potential of  
0V at the analog input pin should be used in the calculation).  
VBIAS  
The VBIAS output voltage is dependent on the reference input  
(REFIN) voltage and is approximately 1.33 times as great.  
This output is used to bias input signals such that bipolar  
signals with spans of greater than 5V can be scaled to match  
the input range of the ADS1210/11. Figure 12 shows a  
connection diagram which will allow the ADS1210/11 to  
accept a ±10V input signal (40V full-scale range).  
DIGITAL OPERATION  
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
This method of scaling and offsetting the ±20V differential  
input signal will be a concern for those requiring minimum  
power dissipation. VBIAS will supply 1.68mA for every chan-  
nel connected as shown. For the ADS1211, the current draw  
is within the specifications for VBIAS, but, at 12mW, the  
power dissipation is significant. If this is a concern, resistors  
R1 and R2 can be set to 9kand R3 and R4 to 3k. This will  
reduce power dissipation by one-third. In addition, these  
resistors can also be set to values which will provide any  
arbitrary input range. In all cases, the maximum current into  
or out of VBIAS should not exceed its specification of 10mA.  
The Micro Controller (MC) consists of an ALU and a  
register bank. The MC has two states: power-on reset and  
convert. In the power-on reset state, the MC resets all the  
registers to their default state, sets up the modulator to a  
stable state, and performs self-calibration at a 850Hz data  
rate. After this, it enters the convert mode, which is the  
normal mode of operation for the ADS1210/11.  
The ADS1210/11 has 5 internal registers, as shown in Table  
VII. Two of these, the Instruction Register and the Com-  
mand Register, control the operation of the converter. The  
Data Output Register (DOR) contains the result from the  
most recent conversion. The Offset and Full-Scale Calibra-  
tion Registers (OCR and FCR) contain data used for correct-  
ing the internal conversion result before it is placed into the  
DOR. The data in these two registers may be the result of a  
calibration routine, or they may be values which have been  
written directly via the serial interface.  
Note that the connection diagram shown in Figure 12 causes  
a constant amount of current to be sourced by VBIAS. This  
will be very important in higher resolution designs as the  
voltage at VBIAS will not change with loading, as the load is  
constant. However, if the input signal is single-ended and one  
side of the input is grounded, the load will not be constant and  
VBIAS will change slightly with the input signal. Also, in all  
cases, note that noise on VBIAS introduces a common-mode  
error signal which is rejected by the converter.

The 3k resistors should not be used as part of an anti-alias

samples charge from the capacitor which has the effect of  
introducing an offset in the measurement. This might be  
acceptable for relative differential measurements.

Communication with the ADS1210/11 is controlled via the  
Instruction Register (INSR). Under normal operation, the INSR  
is written as the first part of each serial communication. The  
instruction that is sent determines what type of communication  
will occur next. It is not possible to read the INSR.  
The circuitry to generate VBIAS is disabled when the  
ADS1210/11 is in its default state, and it must be enabled,  
via the Command Register, in order for the VBIAS voltage to

The Command Register (CMR) controls all of the ADS1210/  
11’s options and operating modes. These include the PGA  
gain setting, the Turbo Mode Rate, the output data rate  
(decimation ratio), etc. The CMR is the only 32-bit register  
within the ADS1210/11. It, and all the remaining registers,  
may be read from or written to.  
Each serial communication starts with the 8-bits of the INSR  
being sent to the ADS1210/11. This directs the remainder of  
the communication cycle, which consists of n bytes being  
read from or written to the ADS1210/11. The read/write bit,  
the number of bytes n, and the starting register address are  
defined, as shown in Table VIII. When the n bytes have been  
transferred, the INSR is complete. A new communication  
cycle is initiated by sending a new INSR (under restrictions  
outlined in the Interfacing section).  
Instruction Register (INSR)  
The INSR is an 8-bit register which commands the serial  
interface either to read or to write “n” bytes beginning at the  
specified register location. Table VIII shows the format for  
the INSR.  
Command Register (CMR)  
The CMR controls all of the functionality of the ADS1210/  
11. The new configuration takes effect on the negative  
transition of SCLK for the last bit in each byte of data being  
written to the command register. The organization of the  
CMR is shown in Table X.

A3-A0 (Address) Bits—These four bits select the begin-  
ning register location which will be read from or written to,  
as shown in Table IX. Each subsequent byte will be read  
from or written to the next higher location. (If the BD bit in  
the Command Register is set, each subsequent byte will be  
read from the next lower location. This bit does not affect the  
write operation.) If the next location is not defined in Table

DF (Data Format) Bit—The DF bit controls the format of  
the output data, either Two’s Complement or Offset Binary,  
as follows:  
SDL (Serial Data Line) Bit—The SDL bit controls which  
pin on the ADS1210/11 will be used as the serial data output  
pin, either SDIO or SDOUT, as follows:  
SDL

If SDL is LOW, then SDIO will be used for both input and  
output of serial data—see the Timing section for more  
details on how the SDIO pin transitions between these two  
states. In addition, SDOUT will remain in a tri-state condi-  
tion at all times.  
These two formats are the same for all bits except the most  
significant, which is simply inverted in one format vs the  
other. This bit only applies to the Data Output Register—it  
has no effect on the other registers.  
Important Note: Since the default condition is SDL LOW,  
SDIO has the potential of becoming an output once every  
data output cycle if the ADS1210/11 is in the Master Mode.  
This will occur until the Command Register can be written  
and the SDL bit set HIGH. See the Interfacing section for  
more information.  
U/B (Unipolar) Bit—The U/B bit controls the limits im-  
posed on the output data, as follows:

DRDY (Data Ready) Bit—The DRDY bit is a read-only bit  
which reflects the state of the ADS1210/11’s DRDY output  
pin, as follows:  
Zero to +Full-Scale only  
The particular mode has no effect on the actual full-scale  
range of the ADS1210/11, data format, or data format vs  
input voltage. In the bipolar mode, the ADS1210/11 oper-  
ates normally. In the unipolar mode, the conversion result is  
limited to positive values only (zero included).

DSYNC (Data Synchronization) Bit—The DSYNC bit is  
a write-only bit which occupies the same location as DRDY.  
When a ‘one’ is written to this location, the effect on the  
ADS1210/11 is the same as if the DSYNC input pin had  
been taken LOW and returned HIGH. That is, the modulator  
count for the current conversion cycle will be reset to zero.  
This bit only controls what is placed in the Data Output  
Register. It has no effect on internal data. When cleared, the  
very next conversion will produce a valid bipolar result.  
BD (Byte Order) Bit—The BD bit controls the order in  
which bytes of data are read, either most significant byte  
first or least significant byte, as follows:  
DSYNC

BD  
BYTE ACCESS ORDER  
0

The DSYNC bit is provided in order to reduce the number of  
interface signals that are needed between the ADS1210/11  
and the main controller. Consult “Making Use of DSYNC”  
in the Serial Interface section for more information.

Least Significant

Note that when BD is clear and a multi-byte read is initiated,  
A3-A0 of the Instruction Register is the address of the most  
significant byte and subsequent bytes reside at higher ad-  
dresses. If BD is set, then A3-A0 is the address of the least  
significant byte and subsequent bytes reside at lower ad-  
dresses. The BD bit only affects read operations; it has no  
effect on write operations.

remain in these modes indefinitely. All other modes are  
temporary and will revert to Normal Mode once the appro-  
priate actions are complete. See the Calibration and Sleep  
Mode sections for more information.  
The MSB bit only affects read operations; it has no effect on  
write operations.

Table XI. Decimation Ratios vs Data Rates (Turbo Mode rate of 1 and 10MHz clock).  
The input capacitor sampling frequency and modulator rate  
can be calculated from the following equations:  
G2-G0 (PGA Control) Bits—The G2-G0 bits control the  
gain setting of the PGA, as follows:  
fSAMP = G • TMR • fXIN/512  
fMOD = TMR • fXIN/512

where G is the gain setting and TMR is the Turbo Mode  
Rate. The sampling frequency of the input capacitor directly  
relates to the analog input impedance. The modulator rate  
relates to the power consumption of the ADS1210/11 and  
the output data rate. See the Turbo Mode, Analog Input, and  
Reference Input sections for more details.  
1
The gain is partially implemented by increasing the input  
capacitor sampling frequency, which is given by the follow-  
ing equation:  
DR12-DR0 (Decimation Ratio) Bits—The DR12-DR0 bits  
control the decimation ratio of the ADS1210/11. In essence,  
these bits set the number of modulator results which are used in  
the digital filter to compute each individual conversion result.  
Since the modulator rate depends on both the ADS1210/11  
clock frequency and the Turbo Mode Rate, the actual output  
data rate is given by the following equation:  
fSAMP = G • TMR • fXIN/512  
where G is the gain setting and TMR is the Turbo Mode  
Rate. The product of G and TMR cannot exceed 16. The  
sampling frequency of the input capacitor directly relates to  
the analog input impedance. See the Programmable Gain  
Amplifier and Analog Input sections for more details.  
fDATA = fXIN • TMR/(512 • (Decimation Ratio + 1))  
CH1-CH0 (Channel Selection) Bits—The CH1 and CH0 bits  
control the input multiplexer on the ADS1211, as follows:  
where TMR is the Turbo Mode Rate. Table XI shows  
various data rates and corresponding decimation ratios (with  
a 10MHz clock). Valid decimation ratios are from 19 to  
8000. Outside of this range, the digital filter will compute  
results incorrectly due to inadequate or too much data.

Data Output Register (DOR)  
The DOR is a 24-bit register which contains the most recent  
conversion result (see Table XII). This register is updated  
with a new result just prior to DRDY going LOW. If the  
contents of the DOR are not read within a period of time  
defined by 1/fDATA –12•(1/fXIN), then a new conversion  
result will overwrite the old. (DRDY is forced HIGH prior  
to the DOR update, unless a read is in progress).  
(For the ADS1210, CH1 and CH0 must always be zero.) The  
channel change takes effect when the last bit of byte 2 has  
been written to the Command Register. Output data will not  
be valid for the next three conversions despite the DRDY  
signal indicating that data is ready. On the fourth time that  
DRDY goes LOW after a channel change has been written  
to the Command Register, valid data will be present in the  
Data Output Register (see Figure 4).

Offset Calibration Register (OCR)  
The actual FCR value will change from part-to-part and  
with configuration, temperature, and power supply. Thus,  
the actual FCR value for any arbitrary situation cannot be  
accurately predicted. That is, a given system full-scale error  
cannot be corrected simply by measuring the error exter-  
nally, computing a correction factor, and writing that value  
to the FCR. In addition, be aware that the contents of the  
FCR are not used to directly correct the conversion result.  
Rather, the correction is a function of the FCR value. This  
function is linear and two known points can be used as a  
basis for interpolating intermediate values for the FCR.  
Consult the Calibration section for more details. The con-  
tents of the FCR are in unsigned binary format. This is not  
affected by the DF bit in the Command Register.  
The OCR is a 24-bit register which contains the offset  
correction factor that is applied to the conversion result before  
it is placed in the Data Output Register (see Table XIII). In  
most applications, the contents of this register will be the  
result of either a self-calibration or a system calibration.  
The OCR is both readable and writeable via the serial  
interface. For applications requiring a more accurate offset  
calibration, multiple calibrations can be performed, each  
resulting OCR value read, the results averaged, and a more  
precise offset calibration value written back to the OCR.  
The actual OCR value will change from part-to-part and  
with configuration, temperature, and power supply. Thus,  
the actual OCR value for any arbitrary situation cannot be  
accurately predicted. That is, a given system offset could not  
be corrected simply by measuring the error externally, com-  
puting a correction factor, and writing that value to the OCR.  
In addition, be aware that the contents of the OCR are not  
used to directly correct the conversion result. Rather, the  
correction is a function of the OCR value. This function is  
linear and two known points can be used as a basis for  
interpolating intermediate values for the OCR. Consult the  
Calibration section for more details.

Figures 14 through 20 and associated timing symbols apply  
to the serial interface signals (SCLK, SDIO, SDOUT, and

SERIAL INTERFACE  
Synchronizing Multiple Converters  
A negative going pulse on DSYNC can be used to synchro-  
nize multiple ADS1210/11s. This assumes that each  
ADS1210/11 is driven from the same master clock and is set  
to the same Decimation Ratio and Turbo Mode Rate. The  
effect that this signal has on data output timing in general is  
discussed in the Serial Interface section.  
The ADS1210/11 includes a flexible serial interface which  
can be connected to microcontrollers and digital signal  
processors in a variety of ways. Along with this flexibility,  
there is also a good deal of complexity. This section de-  
scribes the trade-offs between the different types of interfac-  
ing methods in a top-down approach—starting with the  
overall flow and control of serial data, moving to specific  
interface examples, and then providing information on vari-  
ous issues related to the serial interface.  
The concern here is what happens if the DSYNC input is  
completely asynchronous to this master clock. If the DSYNC  
input rises at a critical point in relation to the master clock  
input, then some ADS1210/11s may start-up one XIN clock  
cycle before the others. Thus, the output data will be syn-  
chronized, but only to within one XIN clock cycle.  
Multiple Instructions  
The general timing diagrams which appear throughout this  
data sheet show serial communication to and from the  
ADS1210/11 occurring during the DRDY LOW period (see  
Figures 4 through 10 and Figure 36). This communication  
represents one instruction that is executed by the ADS1210/  
11, resulting in a single read or write of register data.  
For many applications, this will be more than adequate. In  
these cases, the timing symbols which relate the DSYNC  
signal to the XIN signal can be ignored. For other multiple-  
converter applications, this one XIN clock cycle difference  
could be a problem. These types of applications would  
include using the DRDY and/or the SCLK output from one  
ADS1210/11 as the “master” signal for all converters.  
However, more than one instruction can be executed by the  
ADS1210/11 during any given conversion period (see Fig-  
ure 24). Note that DRDY remains HIGH during the subse-  
quent instructions. There are several important restrictions  
on how and when multiple instructions can be issued during  
any one conversion period.  
To ensure exact synchronization to the same XIN edge, the  
timing relationship between the DSYNC and XIN signals,  
as shown in Figure 22, must be observed. Figure 23 shows  
a simple circuit which can be used to clock multiple  
ADS1210/11s from one ADS1210/11, as well as to ensure  
that an asynchronous DSYNC signal will exactly synchro-  
nize all the converters.

DSYNC  
The first restriction is that the converter must be in the Slave  
Mode. There is no provision for multiple instructions when  
the ADS1210/11 is operating in the Master Mode. The  
second is that some instructions will produce invalid results  
if started at the end of one conversion period and carried into  
the start of the next conversion period.

For example, Figure 24 shows that just prior to the DRDY  
signal going LOW, the internal Data Output Register (DOR)  
is updated. This update involves the Offset Calibration  
Register (OCR) and the Full-Scale Register (FSR). If the  
OCR or FSR are being written, their final value may not be  
correct, and the result placed into the DOR will certainly not  
be valid. Problems can also arise if certain bits of the  
Command Register are being changed.  
initiated, the update is blocked. The old output data will  
remain in the DOR and the new data will be lost. The old  
data will remain valid until the read operation has com-  
pleted. In general, multiple instructions may be issued, but  
the last one in any conversion period should be complete  
within 12 • XIN clock periods of the next DRDY LOW  
time. In this usage, “complete” refers to the point where  
DRDY rises in Figures 17 and 19 (in the Timing Section).  
Consult Figures 25 and 26 for the flow of serial data  
during any one conversion period.  
Note that reading the Data Output Register is an excep-  
tion. If the DOR is being read when the internal update is

Using CS and Continuous Read Mode  
The recommended solution to this problem is to actively pull  
SDIO LOW. If SDIO is LOW when the ADS1210/11 enters  
the instruction byte, then the resulting instruction is a write  
of one byte of data to the Data Output Register, which results  
in no internal operation.  
The serial interface may make use of the CS signal, or this  
input may simply be tied LOW. There are several issues  
associated with choosing to do one or the other.  
The CS signal does not directly control the tri-state condition  
of the SDOUT or SDIO output. These signals are normally  
in the tri-state condition. They only become active when  
serial data is being transmitted from the ADS1210/11. If the  
ADS1210/11 is in the middle of a serial transfer and SDOUT  
or SDIO is an output, taking CS HIGH will not tri-state the  
output signal.  
If the SDIO signal cannot be actively pulled LOW, then  
another possibility is to time the initialization of the  
controller’s serial port such that it becomes active between  
adjacent DRDY LOW periods. The default configuration for  
the ADS1210/11 produces a data rate of 814Hz—a conver-  
sion period of 1.2ms. This time should be more than ad-  
equate for most microcontrollers and DSPs to monitor DRDY  
and initialize the serial port at the appropriate time.  
If there are multiple serial peripherals utilizing the same  
serial I/O lines and communication may occur with any  
peripheral at any time, then the CS signal must be used. The  
ADS1210/11 may be in the Master Mode or the Slave Mode.  
In the Master Mode, the CS signal is used to hold-off serial  
communication with a “ready” (DRDY LOW) ADS1210/11  
until the main controller can accommodate the communica-  
tion. In the Slave Mode, the CS signal is used to enable  
communication with the ADS1210/11.  
Master Mode  
The Master Mode is active when the MODE input is HIGH.  
All serial clock cycles will be produced by the ADS1210/11  
in this mode, and the SCLK pin is configured as an output.  
The frequency of the serial clock will be one-half of the XIN  
frequency. Multiple instructions cannot be issued during a  
single conversion period in this mode—only one instruction  
per conversion cycle is possible.  
The CS input has another use. If the CS state is left LOW  
after a read of the Data Output Register has been performed,  
then the next time that DRDY goes LOW, the ADS1210/11  
Instruction Register will not be entered. Instead, the Instruc-  
tion Register contents will be re-used, and the new contents  
of the Data Output Register, or some part thereof, will be  
transmitted. This will occur as long as CS is LOW and not  
toggled.  
The Master Mode will be difficult for some microcontrollers,  
particularly when the XIN input frequency is greater than a  
few MHz, as the serial clock may exceed the microcontroller’s  
maximum serial clock frequency. For the majority of digital  
signal processors, this will be much less of a concern. In  
addition, if SDIO is being used as an input and an output,  
then the transition time from input to output may be a  
concern. This will be true for both microcontrollers and  
DSPs. See Figure 20 in the Timing section.  
This mode of operation is called the Continuous Read Mode  
and is shown in the read flowcharts of Figures 25 and 26. It  
is also shown in the Timing Diagrams of Figures 18 and 19  
in the Timing section. Note that once CS has been taken  
HIGH, the Continuous Read Mode will be enabled (but not  
entered) and can never be disabled. The mode is actually  
entered and exited as described above.  
Note that if CS is tied LOW, there are special considerations  
regarding SDIO as outlined previously in this section. Also  
note that if CS is being used to control the flow of data from  
the ADS1210/11 and it remains HIGH for one or more  
conversion periods, the ADS1210/11 will operate properly.  
However, the result in the Data Output Register will be lost  
when it is overwritten by each new result. Just prior to this  
update, DRDY will be forced HIGH and will return LOW  
after the update.  
Power-On Conditions for SDIO  
Even if the SDIO connection will be used only for input,  
there is one important item to consider regarding SDIO. This  
only applies when the ADS1210/11 is in the Master Mode  
and CS will be tied LOW. At power-up, the serial I/O lines  
of most microcontrollers and digital signal processors will be  
in a tri-state condition, or they will be configured as inputs.  
When power is applied to the ADS1210/11, it will begin  
operating as defined by the default condition of the Com-  
mand Register (see Table X in the System Configuration  
section). This condition defines SDIO as the data output pin.  
Slave Mode  
Most systems will use the ADS1210/11 in the Slave Mode.  
This mode allows multiple instructions to be issued per  
conversion period as well as allowing the main controller to  
set the serial clock frequency and pace the serial data  
transfer. The ADS1210/11 is in the Slave Mode when the  
MODE input is LOW.  
Since the ADS1210/11 is in the Master Mode and CS is tied  
LOW, the serial clock will run whenever DRDY is LOW and  
an instruction will be entered and executed. If the SDIO line  
is HIGH, as it might be with an active pull-up, then the  
instruction is a read operation and SDIO will become an  
output every DRDY LOW period—for 32 serial clock cycles.  
When the serial port on the main controller is enabled, signal  
contention could result.  
There are several important items regarding the serial clock  
for this mode of operation. The maximum serial clock  
frequency cannot exceed the ADS1210/11 XIN frequency  
divided by 5 (see Figure 15 in the Timing section).  
When using SDIO as the serial output, the falling edge of the  
last serial clock cycle of the instruction byte will cause the  
SDIO pin to begin its transition from input to output.  
Between three and four XIN cycles after this falling edge, the  
SDIO pin will become an output. This transition may be too  
fast for some microcontrollers and digital signal processors.

If a serial communication does not occur during any conver-  
sion period, the ADS1210/11 will continue to operate prop-  
erly. However, the results in the Data Output Register will  
be lost when they are overwritten by the new result at the  
start of the next conversion period. Just prior to this update,  
DRDY will be forced HIGH and will return LOW after the  
update.  
nication to and from the ADS1210/11 should not occur for at  
least 25ms after power is stable.)  
If this requirement cannot be met or if the circuit has  
brown-out considerations, the timing diagram of Figure 27  
can be used to reset the ADS1210/11. This timing applies  
only when the ADS1210/11 is in the Slave Mode and  
accomplishes the reset by controlling the duty cycle of the  
SCLK input. In general, a reset is required after power-up,  
after a brown-out has been detected, or when a watchdog  
timer event has occured.  
Making Use of DSYNC  
The DSYNC input pin and the DSYNC write bit in the  
Command Register reset the current modulator count to  
zero. This causes the current conversion cycle to proceed as  
normal, but all modulator outputs from the last data output  
to the point where DSYNC is asserted are discarded. Note  
that the previous two data outputs are still present in the  
ADS1210/11 internal memory. Both will be used to com-  
pute the next conversion result, and the most recent one will  
be used to compute the result two conversions later. DSYNC  
does not reset the internal data to zero.  
If the ADS1210/11 is in the Master Mode, a reset of the  
device is not possible. If the power supply does not meet the  
minimum ramp rate requirement, or brown-out is of concern,  
low on-resistance MOSFETs or equivalent should be used to  
control power to the ADS1210/11. When powered down, the  
device should be left unpowered for at least 300ms before  
power is reapplied. An alternate method would be to control  
the MODE pin and temporarily place the ADS1210/11 in the  
Slave Mode while a reset is initiated as shown in Figure 27.  
There are two main uses of DSYNC. In the first case,  
DSYNC allows for synchronization of multiple converters.  
In regards to the DSYNC input pin, this case was discussed  
under “Synchronizing Multiple Converters” in the Timing  
section. In regards to the DSYNC bit, it will be difficult to  
set all of the converter’s DSYNC bits at the same time  
unless all of the converters are in the Slave Mode and the  
same instruction can be sent to all of the converters at the  
same time.  
Two-Wire Interface  
For a two-wire interface, the Master Mode of operation may  
be preferable. In this mode, serial communication occurs  
only when data is ready, informing the main controller as to  
the status of the ADS1210/11. The disadvantages are that the  
ADS1210/11 must have a dedicated serial port on the main  
controller, only one instruction can be issued per data ready  
period, and the serial clock may define the maximum clock  
frequency of the converter.  
The second use of DSYNC is to reset the modulator count  
to zero in order to obtain valid data as quickly as possible.  
For example, if the input channel is changed on the ADS1211,  
the current conversion cycle will be a mix of the old channel  
and the new channels. Thus, four conversions are needed in  
order to ensure valid data. However, if the channel is  
changed and then DSYNC is used to reset the modulator  
count, the modulator data at the end of the current conver-  
sion cycle will be entirely from the new channel. After two  
additional conversion cycles, the output data will be com-  
pletely valid. Note that the conversion cycle in which  
DSYNC is used will be slightly longer than normal. Its  
length will depend on when DSYNC was set.  
In the Slave Mode, the main controller must read and write  
to the ADS1210/11 “blindly.” Writes to the internal regis-  
ters, such as the Command Register or Offset Calibration  
Register, might occur during an update of the Data Output  
Register. This can result in invalid data in the DOR. A two-  
wire interface can be used if the main controller can read  
and/or write to the converter, either much slower or much  
faster that the data rate. For example, if much faster, the  
main controller can use the DRDY bit to determine when  
data is becoming valid (polling it multiple times during one  
conversion cycle). Thus, the controller obtains some idea of  
when to write to the internal register. If much slower, then  
reads of the DOR might always return valid data (multiple  
conversions have occurred since the last read of the DOR or  
since any write of the internal registers).  
Reset, Power-On Reset, and Brown-Out  
The ADS1210/11 contains an internal power-on reset circuit.  
If the power supply ramp rate is greater than 50mV/ms, this  
circuit will be adequate to ensure that the device powers up  
correctly. (Due to oscillator settling considerations, commu-

Four-Wire Interface  
Figure 30 shows a four-wire interface with a 8xC32 micro-  
processor. Again, the Slave Mode is being used.  
Note that the XIN input can also be controlled. It is possible  
with some microcontrollers and digital signal processors to  
produce a continuous serial clock, which could be connected  
to the XIN input. The frequency of the clock is often settable  
over some range. Thus, the power dissipation of the  
ADS1210/11 could be dynamically varied by changing both  
the Turbo Mode and XIN input, trading off conversion speed  
and resolution for power consumption.  
Multi-Wire Interface  
Figures 31 and 32 show multi-wire interfaces with a 8xC51  
or 68HC11 microprocessor. In these interfaces, the mode of  
the ADS1210/11 is actually controlled dynamically. This  
could be extremely useful when the ADS1210/11 is to be  
used in a wide variety of ways. For example, it might be  
desirable to have the ADS1210/11 produce data at a steady  
rate and to have the converter operating in the Continuous  
Read Mode. But for system calibration, the Slave Mode  
might be preferred because multiple instructions can be  
issued per conversion period.  
I/O Recovery  
If serial communication stops during an instruction or data  
transfer for longer than 4 • tDATA, the ADS1210/11 will reset  
its serial interface. This will not affect the internal registers.  
The main controller must not continue the transfer after this  
event, but must restart the transfer from the beginning.  
Note that the MODE input should not be changed in the  
middle of a serial transfer. This could result in misoperation  
of the device. A Master/Slave Mode change will not affect  
the output data.  
This feature is very useful if the main controller can be reset  
at any point. After reset, simply wait 8 • tDATA before  
starting serial communication.

The serial interface of the ADS1210/11 provides for simple  
isolation methods. An example of an isolated four-wire  
interface is shown in Figure 33. The ISO150 is used to  
transmit the digital signals over the isolation barrier.

voltage is 5V and the output format is Offset Binary  
(FFFFFFH). For sink current, the worst-case condition oc-  
curs when the analog input differential voltage is 0V and the  
output format is Two’s Complement (000000H).  
Note that an asynchronous DSYNC input may cause mul-  
tiple converters to be different from one another by one XIN  
clock cycle. This should not be a concern for most applica-  
tions. However, the Timing section contains information on  
exactly synchronizing multiple converters to the same XIN  
clock cycle.  
Note that SDOUT is tri-stated for the majority of the  
conversion period and the opto-isolator connection must  
take this into account.  
tDATA  
Synchronization of Multiple Converters  
DRDY A  
The DSYNC input is used to synchronize the output data of  
multiple ADS1210/11s. Synchronization involves configur-  
ing each ADS1210/11 to the same Decimation Ratio and  
Turbo Mode setting, and providing a common signal to the  
XIN inputs. Then, the DSYNC signal is pulsed LOW (see  
Figure 22 in the Timing section). This results in an internal  
reset of the modulator count for the current conversion.  
Thus, all the converters start counting from zero at the same  
time, producing a DRDY LOW signal at approximately the  
same point (see Figure 36).

LAYOUT  
POWER SUPPLIES  
For a single converter system, AGND and DGND of the  
ADS1210/11 should be connected together, underneath the  
converter. Do not join the ground planes, but connect the  
two with a moderate signal trace. For multiple converters,  
connect the two ground planes at one location as central to  
all of the converters as possible. In some cases, experimen-  
tation may be required to find the best point to connect the  
two planes together. The printed circuit board can be de-  
signed to provide different analog/digital ground connec-  
tions via short jumpers. The initial prototype can be used to  
establish which connection works best.  
The ADS1210/11 requires the digital supply (DVDD) to be  
no greater than the analog supply (AVDD) +0.3V. In the  
majority of systems, this means that the analog supply must  
come up first, followed by the digital supply. Failure to  
observe this condition could cause permanent damage to the  
ADS1210/11.  
Inputs to the ADS1210/11, such as SDIO, AIN, or REFIN,  
should not be present before the analog and digital supplies  
are on. Violating this condition could cause latch-up. If these  
signals are present before the supplies are on, series resistors  
should be used to limit the input current (see the Analog  
Input and VBIAS sections of this data sheet for more details  
concerning these inputs).  
DECOUPLING  
Good decoupling practices should be used for the ADS1210/  
11 and for all components in the design. All decoupling  
capacitors, but specifically the 0.1µF ceramic capacitors,  
should be placed as close as possible to the pin being  
decoupled. A 1µF to 10µF capacitor, in parallel with a 0.1µF  
ceramic capacitor, should be used to decouple AVDD to  
AGND. At a minimum, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor should be  
used to decouple DVDD to DGND, as well as for the digital  
supply on each digital component.  
The best scheme is to power the analog section of the design  
and AVDD of the ADS1210/11 from one +5V supply and the  
digital section (and DVDD) from a separate +5V supply. The  
analog supply should come up first. This will ensure that AIN  
and REFIN do not exceed AVDD and that the digital inputs  
are present only after AVDD has been established, and that  
they do not exceed DVDD  
.
The analog supply should be well-regulated and low-noise. For  
designs requiring very high resolution from the ADS1210/11,  
power supply rejection will be a concern. See the PSRR vs  
Frequency curve in the Typical Performance Curves section of  
this data sheet for more information.  
SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS  
The recommendations for power supplies and grounding  
will change depending on the requirements and specific  
design of the overall system. Achieving 20 bits or more of  
effective resolution is a great deal more difficult than achiev-  
ing 12 bits. In general, a system can be broken up into four  
different stages:  
The requirements for the digital supply are not as strict.  
However, high frequency noise on DVDD can capacitively  
couple into the analog portion of the ADS1210/11. This  
noise can originate from switching power supplies, very fast  
microprocessors or digital signal processors.  
Analog Processing  
Analog Portion of the ADS1210/11  
Digital Portion of the ADS1210/11  
Digital Processing  
For either supply, high frequency noise will generally be  
rejected by the digital filter except at interger multiplies of  
fMOD. Just below and above these frequencies, noise will  
alias back into the passband of the digital filter, affecting the  
conversion result.  
For the simplest system consisting of minimal analog signal  
processing (basic filtering and gain), a self-contained micro-  
controller, and one clock source, high-resolution could be  
achieved by powering all components by a common power  
supply. In addition, all components could share a common  
ground plane. Thus, there would be no distinctions between  
“analog” and “digital” power and ground. The layout should  
still include a power plane, a ground plane, and careful  
decoupling.  
If one supply must be used to power the ADS1210/11, the  
AVDD supply should be used to power DVDD. This connec-  
tion can be made via a 10resistor which, along with the  
decoupling capacitors, will provide some filtering between  
DVDD and AVDD. In some systems, a direct connection can  
be made. Experimentation may be the best way to determine  
the appropriate connection between AVDD and DVDD  
.
In a more extreme case, the design could include: multiple  
ADS1210/11s; extensive analog signal processing; one or  
more microcontrollers, digital signal processors, or micro-  
processors; many different clock sources; and interconnec-  
tions to various other systems. High resolution will be very  
difficult to achieve for this design. The approach would be  
to break the system into as many different parts as possible.  
For example, each ADS1210/11 may have its own “analog”  
processing front end, its own analog power and ground  
(possibly shared with the analog front end), and its own  
“digital” power and ground. The converter’s “digital” power  
and ground would be separate from the power and ground  
for the system’s processors, RAM, ROM, and “glue” logic.  
GROUNDING  
The analog and digital sections of the design should be care-  
fully and cleanly partitioned. Each section should have its own  
ground plane with no overlap between them. AGND should be  
connected to the analog ground plane as well as all other analog  
grounds. DGND should be connected to the digital ground  
plane and all digital signals referenced to this plane.  
The ADS1210/11 pinout is such that the converter is cleanly  
separated into an analog and digital portion. This should allow  
simple layout of the analog and digital sections of the design.

PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.  
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.  
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability  
information and additional product content details.  
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.  
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that  
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.  
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between  
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.  
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight  
in homogeneous material)  
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.  
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.  
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation  
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.  
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish  
value exceeds the maximum column width.

IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other  
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest  
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and  
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale  
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.  
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms  
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary  
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily  
performed.  
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and  
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide  
adequate design and operating safeguards.  
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or  
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information  
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or  
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the  
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.  
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration  
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered  
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.  
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service  
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.  
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.  
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements  
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support  
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which  
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause  
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use  
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.  
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to  
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and  
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.  
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties  
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.  
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in  
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components  
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and  
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.  
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of  
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
