General Description
The 16-bit CS5525 and the 20-bit CS5526 are highly integrated ∆Σ A/D converters which include an
instrumentation amplifier, a PGA (programmable gain
amplifier), eight digital filters, and self and system calibration circuitry.
The converters are designed to provide their own negative supply which enables their on-chip instrumentation
amplifiers to measure bipolar ground-referenced signals
≤±100 mV. By directly supplying NBV with -2.5 V and
with VA+ at 5 V,
can be measured.
The digital filters provide programmable output update
rates between 3.76 Sps to 202 Sps (XIN = 32.768 kHz).
Output word rates can be increased by approximately 3X
by using XIN = 100 kHz. Each filter is designed to settle
to full accuracy for its output update rate in one conversion cycle. The filters with word rates of 15 Sps or less
(XIN = 32.768 kHz) reject both 50 and 60 Hz (
interference simultaneously.
Low power, single conversion settling time, programmable output rates, and the ability to handle negative input
signals make these single supply products ideal solutions for isolated and non-isolated applications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The CS5525 and CS5526 are 16-bit and 20-bit pin
compatible converters which include a chopperstabilized instrumentation amplifier input, and an
on-chip programmable gain amplifier. They are
both optimized for measuring low-level unipolar or
bipolar signals in process control and medical applications.
The CS5525/26 also include a fourth order deltasigma modulator, a calibration microcontroller,
eight digital filters, a 4-bit analog latch, and a serial
port. The digital filters provide any one of eight
different output update rates.
The CS5525/26 include a CPD (Charge Pump
Drive) output (shown in Figure 1). CPD provides a
negative bias voltage to the on-chip instrumentation amplifier when used with a combination of external diodes and capacitors. This enables the
CS5525/26 to measure negative voltages with re-
spect to ground, making the converters ideal for
thermocouple temperature measurements.
Theory of Operation
The CS5525/26 A/D converters are designed to operate from a single +5 V analog supply and provide
several different input ranges. See the AnalogCharacteristics section on page 3 for details.
Figure 1 illustrates the CS5525/26 connected to
generate their own negative bias supply using the
on-chip CPD (Charge Pump Drive). This enables
the CS5525/26 to measure ground referenced signals with magnitudes down to NBV (Negative Bias
Voltage, approximately -2.1 V in this example).
Figure 2 illustrates a charge pump circuit when the
converters are powered from a +3.0 V digital supply. Alternatively, the negative bias supply can be
generated from a negative supply voltage or a resistive divider as illustrated in Figure 3.

Figure 4 illustrates the CS5525/26 connected to
measure ground referenced unipolar signals of a
positive polarity using the 1 V, 2.5 V, and 5 V input
voltage ranges on the converter. For the 25 mV, 55
mV, and 100 mV ranges the signal must have a
common mode near +2.5 V (NBV = 0V).
The CS5525/26 are optimized for the measurement
of thermocouple outputs, but they are also well
suited for the measurement of ratiometric bridge
transducer outputs. Figure 5 illustrates the
CS5525/26 connected to measure the output of a
ratiometric differential bridge transducer while operating from a single +5 V supply.
