The ADS1100 is a precision, continuously self-calibrating
Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter with differential inputs and
up to 16 bits of resolution in a small SOT23-6 package.
Conversions are performed ratiometrically, using the power
supply as the reference voltage. The ADS1100 uses an
2
I
C-compatible serial interface and operates from a single
power supply ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V.
The ADS1100 can perform conversions at rates of 8, 16, 32,
or 128 samples per second. The onboard programmablegain amplifier, which offers gains of up to 8, allows smaller
signals to be measured with high resolution. In singleconversion mode, the ADS1100 automatically powers down
after a conversion, greatly reducing current consumption
during idle periods.
The ADS1100 is designed for applications requiring highresolution measurement, where space and power consumption are major considerations. Typical applications include
portable instrumentation, industrial process control and smart
transmitters.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
All specifications at –40°C to +85°C, VDD = 5V, GND = 0V, all PGAs, unless otherwise noted.
The ADS1100 is a fully differential, 16-bit, self-calibrating,
delta-sigma A/D converter. Extremely easy to design with
and configure, the ADS1100 allows you to take high-quality
measurements with a minimum of effort.
The ADS1100 consists of a delta-sigma A/D converter core
with adjustable gain, a clock generator, and an I
Each of these blocks are described in detail in the sections
that follow.
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
The ADS1100’s A/D converter core consists of a differential
switched-capacitor delta-sigma modulator followed by a digital filter. The modulator measures the difference between the
positive and negative analog inputs and compares this to a
reference voltage, which, in the ADS1100, is the power
supply. The digital filter receives a high-speed bitstream from
the modulator and outputs a
code
, which is a number
proportional to the input voltage.
OUTPUT CODE CALCULATION
The output code is a scalar value which is (except for clipping)
proportional to the voltage difference between the two analog
inputs. The output code is confined to a finite range of numbers;
this range depends on the number of bits needed to represent
the code. The number of bits needed to represent the output
code for the ADS1100 depends on the data rate, as shown in
Table I.
For a minimum output code of Min Code, gain setting of
PGA, positive and negative input voltages of V
and power supply of V
, the output code is given by the
DD
expression:
Output Code = –1•Min Code•PGA •
In the above expression, it is important to note that the
negated minimum
output code is used. The ADS1100 out-

The ADS1100 outputs all codes right-justified and signextended. This arrangement makes it possible to perform
averaging on the higher data rate codes using only a 16-bit
accumulator.
Output codes for various input levels are shown in Table II.
SELF-CALIBRATION
The previous expressions for the ADS1100’s output code do
not account for the gain and offset errors in the modulator. To
compensate for these, the ADS1100 incorporates self-calibration circuitry.
The self-calibration system operates continuously, and requires no user intervention. No adjustments can be made to
the self-calibration system, and none need to be made. The
self-calibration system cannot be deactivated.
The offset and gain error figures shown in the specifications
table include the effects of calibration.
CLOCK GENERATOR
The ADS1100 features an onboard clock generator, which
drives the operation of the modulator and digital filter. The
Typical Characteristics show varieties in data rate over
supply voltage and temperature.
It is not possible to operate the ADS1100 with an external
modulator clock.
INPUT IMPEDANCE
The ADS1100 uses a switched-capacitor input stage. To
,
external circuitry, it looks roughly like a resistance. The
resistance value, as with all switched-capacitor circuits, depends on the capacitor values and the rate at which they are
switched. The switching frequency is the same as the modulator frequency; the capacitor values depend on the PGA
setting. The switching clock is generated by the onboard
clock generator, so its frequency, nominally 275 kHz, is
somewhat dependent on supply voltage and temperature.

The common-mode and differential input impedances are
different. For a gain setting of PGA, the differential input
impedance is typically:
2.4MΩ / PGA
The common mode impedance is typically 8MΩ.
The typical value of the input impedance often cannot be
neglected. Unless the input source has a low impedance, the
ADS1100’s input impedance may affect the measurement
accuracy. For sources with high output impedance, buffering
may be necessary. Bear in mind, however, that active buffers
introduce noise, and also introduce offset and gain errors. All
of these factors should be considered in high-accuracy
applications.
Because the clock generator frequency drifts slightly with
temperature, the input impedances will also drift. For many
applications, this input impedance drift can be neglected, and
the typical impedance values above can be used.
ALIASING
If frequencies are input to the ADS1100 which exceed half
the data rate, aliasing will occur. To prevent aliasing, the
input signal must be bandlimited. Some signals are inherently bandlimited, for example, a thermocouple’s output,
which has a limited rate of change, but may nevertheless
contain noise and interference components. These can fold
back into the sampling band just as any other signal can.
The ADS1100’s digital filter provides some attenuation of
high frequency noise, but the filter’s sinc
1
frequency response cannot completely replace an anti-aliasing filter;
some external filtering may still be needed. For many applications, a simple RC filter will suffice.
When designing an input filter circuit, remember to take the
interaction between the filter network and the input impedance of the ADS1100 into account.
USING THE ADS1100
OPERATING MODES
The ADS1100 operates in one of two modes:
conversion
and
single conversion.
In continuous conversion mode, the ADS1100 continuously
performs conversions. Once a conversion has been completed, the ADS1100 places the result in the output register,
and immediately begins another conversion. When the
ADS1100 is in continuous conversion mode, the ST/BSY bit
in the configuration register always reads 1.
In single conversion mode, the ADS1100 waits until the
ST/BSY bit in the conversion register is set to 1. When this
happens, the ADS1100 powers up and performs a single
conversion. After the conversion completes, the ADS1100
places the result in the output register, resets the ST/BSY bit
to 0 and powers down. Writing a 1 to ST/BSY while a
conversion is in progress has no effect.
When switching from continuous conversion mode to single
conversion mode, the ADS1100 will complete the current
conversion, reset the ST/BSY bit to 0 and power down.
continuous
RESET AND POWER-UP
When the ADS1100 powers up, it automatically performs a
reset. As part of the reset, the ADS1100 sets all of the bits
in the configuration register to their default setting.
The ADS1100 responds to the I
2
C General Call Reset
command. When the ADS1100 receives a General Call
Reset, it performs an internal reset, exactly as though it had
just been powered on.
2
I
C INTERFACE
2
The ADS1100 communicates through an I
grated Circuit) interface. The I
2
C interface is a 2-wire open-
C (Inter-Inte-
drain interface supporting multiple devices and masters on a
single bus. Devices on the I
2
C bus only drive the bus lines
LOW, by connecting them to ground; they never drive the
bus lines HIGH. Instead, the bus wires are pulled HIGH by
pull-up resistors, so the bus wires are HIGH when no device
is driving them LOW. This way, two devices cannot conflict;
if two devices drive the bus simultaneously, there is no driver
contention.
Communication on the I
two devices, one acting as the
as the
slave.
Both masters and slaves can read and write,
2
C bus always takes place between
master
and the other acting
but slaves can only do so under the direction of the master.
Some I
2
C devices can act as masters or slaves, but the
ADS1100 can only act as a slave device.
An I2C bus consists of two lines, SDA and SCL. SDA carries
data; SCL provides the clock. All data is transmitted across
2
the I
C bus in groups of eight bits. To send a bit on the I2C
bus, the SDA line is driven to the bit’s level while SCL is
LOW. (A LOW on SDA indicates a zero bit; a HIGH indicates
a one bit.) Once the SDA line has settled, the SCL line is
brought HIGH, then LOW. This pulse on SCL clocks the SDA
bit into the receiver’s shift register.
2
The I
C bus is bidirectional: the SDA line is used both for
transmitting and receiving data. When a master reads from
a slave, the slave drives the data line; when a master sends
to a slave, the master drives the data line. The master always
drives the clock line. The ADS1100 never drives SCL,
because it cannot act as a master. On the ADS1100, SCL is
an input only.
Most of the time the bus is
idle,
no communication is taking
place, and both lines are HIGH. When communication is
taking place, the bus is
a communication. They do this by causing a
active
. Only master devices can start
start condition
on the bus. Normally, the data line is only allowed to change
state while the clock line is LOW. If the data line changes
state while the clock line is HIGH, it is either a
or its counterpart, a
stop condition.
A start condition is when
start condition
the clock line is HIGH and the data line goes from HIGH to
LOW. A stop condition is when the clock line is HIGH and the
data line goes from LOW to HIGH.
After the master issues a start condition, it sends a byte
which indicates which slave device it wants to communicate
with. This byte is called the
2
I
C bus has a unique 7-bit address to which it responds.
(Slaves can also have 10-bit addresses; see the I
address byte.
Each device on an

cation for details.) The master sends an address in the
address byte, together with a bit which indicates whether it
wishes to read from or write to the slave device.
Every byte transmitted on the I
or data, is acknowledged with an
2
C bus, whether it be address
acknowledge bit.
When a
master has finished sending a byte, eight data bits, to a
slave, it stops driving SDA and waits for the slave to acknowledge the byte. The slave acknowledges the byte by pulling
SDA LOW. The master then sends a clock pulse to clock the
acknowledge bit. Similarly, when a master has finished
reading a byte, it pulls SDA LOW to acknowledge this to the
slave. It then sends a clock pulse to clock the bit. (Remember
that the master
always
drives the clock line.)
A not-acknowledge is performed by simply leaving SDA
HIGH during an acknowledge cycle. If a device is not present
on the bus, and the master attempts to address it, it will
receive a not-acknowledge because no device is present at
that address to pull the line LOW.
When a master has finished communicating with a slave, it
may issue a stop condition. When a stop condition is issued,
the bus becomes idle again. A master may also issue
another start condition. When a start condition is issued while
the bus is active, it is called a
repeated start condition.

Figure 1. Table III gives the parameters for this diagram.

C GENERAL CALL
The ADS1100 responds to General Call Reset, which is an
address byte of 00H followed by a data byte of 06H. The

On receiving a General Call Reset, the ADS1100 performs a
full internal reset, just as though it had been powered off and
then on. If a conversion is in process, it is interrupted; the
output register is set to zero; and the configuration register is
set to its default setting.

speed mode (also called Hs mode), which allows a clock
frequency of up to 3.4MHz. The ADS1100 is fully compatible
with all three modes.
No special action needs to be taken to use the ADS1100 in
Standard or Fast modes, but High-speed mode must be
activated. To activate High-speed mode, send a special
address byte of 00001XXX following the start condition,
where the XXX bits are unique to the Hs-capable master.
This byte is called the Hs master code. (Note that this is
different from normal address bytes: the low bit does not
indicate read/write status.) The ADS1100 will not acknowledge this byte; the I
2
C specification prohibits acknowledgment of the Hs master code. On receiving a master code, the
ADS1100 will switch on its High-speed mode filters, and will
communicate at up to 3.4MHz. The ADS1100 switches out of
Hs mode with the next stop condition.
For more information on High-speed mode, consult the I
2
specification.
In continuous conversion mode, the ADS1100 ignores the
value written to ST/BSY.
When read in single conversion mode, ST/BSY indicates
whether the A/D converter is busy taking a conversion. If ST/
BSY is read as 1, the A/D converter is busy, and a conversion
is taking place; if 0, no conversion is taking place, and the
result of the last conversion is available in the output register.
In continuous mode, ST/BSY is always read as 1.
Bits 6-5: Reserved
Bits 6 and 5 must be set to zero.
Bit 4: SC
SC controls whether the ADS1100 is in continuous conversion or single conversion mode. When SC is 1, the ADS1100
C
is in single conversion mode; when SC is 0, the ADS1100 is
in continuous conversion mode. The default setting is 0.
REGISTERS
The ADS1100 has two registers which are accessible via its
2
I
C port. The
conversion; the
output register
contains the result of the last
configuration register
allows you to change
the ADS1100’s operating mode and query the status of the
device.
OUTPUT REGISTER
The 16-bit output register contains the result of the last
conversion in binary two’s complement format. Following
reset or power-up, the output register is cleared to zero; it
remains zero until the first conversion is completed. Therefore, if you read the ADS1100 just after reset or power-up,
you will read zero from the output register.
The output register’s format is shown in Table V.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
You can use the 8-bit configuration register to control the
ADS1100’s operating mode, data rate, and PGA settings.
The configuration register’s format is shown in Table IV. The

the ADS1100 for reading, and read three bytes from the
device. The first two bytes are the output register’s contents;
the third byte is the configuration register’s contents.
