DESCRIPTION

The ADS1146, ADS1147, and ADS1148 are highly-integrated, precision, 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The ADS1146/7/8 feature an onboard, low-noise, programmable gain amplifier (PGA), a precision delta-sigma ADC with a

oscillator. The ADS1147 and ADS1148 also provide a built-in voltage reference with 10mA output capacity, and two matched programmable current digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The ADS1146/7/8 provide a complete front-end solution for temperature sensor applications including thermal couples, thermistors, and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).
An input multiplexer supports four differential inputs for the ADS1148, two for the ADS1147, and one for the ADS1146. In addition, the multiplexer has a sensor burnout detect, voltage bias for thermocouples, system monitoring, and general-purpose digital I/Os (ADS1147 and ADS1148). The onboard, low-noise PGA provides selectable gains of 1 to 128. The delta-sigma modulator and adjustable digital filter settle in only one cycle, for fast channel cycling when using the input multiplexer, and support data rates up to 2kSPS. For data rates of 20SPS or less, both 50Hz and 60Hz interference are rejected by the filter.
The ADS1146 is offered in a small TSSOP-16 package, the ADS1147 is available in a TSSOP-20 package, and the ADS1148 in a TSSOP-28 package. All three devices operate over the extended specified temperature range of –40°C to +105°C.

(1) For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the IC Package Thermal Metrics application report, SPRA953. (2) The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
(3) The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific
JEDEC-standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
(4) The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
(5) The junction-to-top characterization parameter, yJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining qJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
(6) The junction-to-board characterization parameter, yJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted

NOISE PERFORMANCE

The ADS1146/7/8 noise performance can be optimized by adjusting the data rate and PGA setting. As the averaging is increased by reducing the data rate, the noise drops correspondingly. Increasing the PGA value reduces the input-referred noise, particularly useful when measuring low-level signals. Table 5 and Table 6 summarize noise performance of the ADS1146/7/8. The data are representative of typical noise performance at T = +25°C. The data shown are the result of averaging the readings from multiple devices and were measured with the inputs shorted together.
Table 5 lists the input-referred noise in units mVPP. In many of the settings, especially at lower data rates, the
inherent device noise is less than 1LSB. For these cases, the noise is rounded up to 1LSB. Table 6 lists the corresponding data in units of ENOB (effective number of bits) where:
ENOB = ln(Full-Scale Range/Noise)/ln(2) (1)

ADC INPUT AND MULTIPLEXER Any analog input pin can be selected as the positive

The ADS1146/7/8 ADC measures the input signal through the onboard PGA. All analog inputs are connected to the internal AINPor AINNanalog inputs through the analog multiplexer. A block diagram of the analog input multiplexer is shown in Figure 11.
The input multiplexer connects to eight (ADS1148), four (ADS1147), or two (ADS1146) analog inputs that can be configured as single-ended inputs, differential inputs, or in a combination of single-ended and differential inputs. The multiplexer also allows the on-chip excitation current and/or bias voltage to be On the ADS1147 and ADS1148, the analog inputs selected to a specific channel. can also be configured as general-purpose
input or negative input through the MUX0 register. The ADS1146/7/8 have a true fully differential mode, meaning that the input signal range can be from –2.5V to +2.5V (when AVDD = 2.5V and AVSS = –2.5V).
Through the input multiplexer, the ambient temperature (internal temperature sensor), AVDD, DVDD, and external reference can all be selected for measurement. Refer to the System Monitor section for details.

ESD diodes protect the ADC inputs. To prevent these As with the analog inputs, REFP0 and REFN0 can be diodes from turning on, make sure the voltages on configured as digital I/Os on the ADS1147 and the input pins do not go below AVSS by more than ADS1148. 100mV, and do not exceed AVDD by more than 100mV, as shown in Equation 2. Note that the same caution is true if the inputs are configured to be GPIOs.
AVSS – 100mV < (AINX) < AVDD + 100mV (2)

Settling Time for Channel Multiplexing

The ADS1146/7/8 is a true single-cycle settling ΔΣ converter. The first data available after the start of a conversion are fully settled and valid for use. The time required to settle is roughly equal to the inverse of the data rate. The exact time depends on the specific data rate and the operation that resulted in the start of a conversion; see Table 15 for specific values.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT

The voltage reference for the ADS1146/7/8 is the differential voltage between REFP and REFN:

In the case of the ADS1146, these pins are dedicated inputs. For the ADS1147 and ADS1148, there is a multiplexer that selects the reference inputs, as shown in Figure 12. The reference input uses a buffer to increase the input impedance.
The reference input circuit has ESD diodes to protect the inputs. To prevent the diodes from turning on, make sure the voltage on the reference input pin is not less than AVSS – 100mV, and does not exceed AVDD + 100mV, as shown in Equation 3:

LOW-NOISE PGA

The ADS1146/7/8 feature a low-drift, low-noise, high input impedance programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The PGA can be set to gain of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 by register SYS0. A simplified diagram of the PGA is shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13. Simplified Diagram of the PGA
The PGA consists of two chopper-stabilized amplifiers (A1 and A2) and a resistor feedback network that sets the gain of the PGA. The PGA input is equipped with an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter, as shown in Figure 13. Note that as with any PGA, it is necessary to ensure that the input voltage stays within the specified common-mode input range specified in the Electrical Characteristics. The common-mode input (V range shown in Equation 4:
) must be within the

MODULATOR

A third-order modulator is used in the ADS1146/7/8. The modulator converts the analog input voltage into a pulse code modulated (PCM) data stream. To save power, the modulator clock runs from 32kHz up to 512kHz for different data rates, as shown in Table 7.

DIGITAL FILTER

The ADS1146/7/8 use linear-phase finite impulse response (FIR) digital filters that can be adjusted for different output data rates. The digital filter always settles in a single cycle.
Table 8 shows the exact data rates when an external
oscillator equal to 4.096MHz is used. Also shown is the signal –3dB bandwidth, and the 50Hz and 60Hz attenuation. For good 50Hz or 60Hz rejection, use a data rate of 20SPS or slower.
The frequency responses of the digital filter are shown in Figure 14 to Figure 24. Figure 17 shows a detailed view of the filter frequency response from 48Hz to 62Hz for a 20SPS data rate. All filter plots are generated with 4.096MHz external clock.

CLOCK SOURCE

The ADS1146/7/8 can use either the internal oscillator or an external clock. Connect the CLK pin to DGND before power-on or reset to activate the internal oscillator. Connecting an external clock to the CLK pin at any time deactivates the internal oscillator, with the device then operating on the external clock. After the device switches to the external clock, it cannot be switched back to the internal oscillator without cycling the power supplies or resetting the device.

SENSOR DETECTION

The ADS1146/7/8 provide a selectable current (0.5mA, 2mA, or 10mA) to help detect a possible sensor malfunction.
When enabled, two burnout current sources flow through the selected pair of analog inputs to the sensor. One sources the current to the positive input channel, and the other sinks the same current from the negative input channel.
When the burnout current sources are enabled, a full-scale reading may indicate an open circuit in the front-end sensor, or that the sensor is overloaded. It may also indicate that the reference voltage is absent. A near zero reading may indicate a short-circuit in the sensor.

A selectable bias voltage is provided for use with ungrounded thermocouples. The bias voltage is (AVDD + AVSS)/2 and can applied to any analog input channel through internal input multiplexer. The bias voltage turn-on times for different sensor capacitances are listed in Table 10.

GENERAL-PURPOSE DIGITAL I/O

The ADS1148 has eight pins and the ADS1147 has four pins that serve a dual purpose as either analog inputs or general-purpose digital inputs/outputs (GPIOs).
Figure 25 shows a diagram of how these functions
are combined onto a single pin. Note that when the pin is configured as a GPIO, the corresponding logic is powered from AVDD and AVSS. When the ADS1147 and ADS1148 are operated with bipolar analog supplies, the GPIO outputs bipolar voltages. Care must be taken loading the GPIO pins when used as outputs because large currents can cause droop or noise on the analog supplies.

SYSTEM MONITOR

The ADS1147 and ADS1148 provide a system monitor function. This function can measure the analog power supply, digital power supply, external voltage reference, or ambient temperature. Note that the system monitor function provides a coarse result. When the system monitor is enabled, the analog inputs are disconnected.

Power-Supply Monitor

The system monitor can measure the analog or digital power supply. When measuring the power supply, the resulting conversion is approximately 1/4 of the actual power supply voltage.

Ambient Temperature Monitor

On-chip diodes provide temperature-sensing capability. When selecting the temperature monitor function, the anodes of two diodes are connected to the ADC. Typically, the difference in diode voltage is 118mV at +25°C with a temperature coefficient of 405mV/°C.
Note that when the onboard temperature monitor is selected, the PGA is automatically set to '1'. However, the PGA register bits in are not affected and the PGA returns to its set value when the temperature monitor is turned off.

The conversion data are scaled by offset and gain registers before yielding the final output code.

The values of the offset and full-scale registers are set by writing to them directly, or they are set automatically by calibration commands.

Offset Calibration Register: OFC[2:0]

The offset calibration is a 24-bit word, composed of three 8-bit registers. The upper 16 bits, OFC[2:1], are the most important for calibration and can correct offsets ranging from –FS to +FS, as shown in
Table 11. The lower eight bits, OFC[0], provide
sub-LSB correction and are used by the ADS1146/7/8 calibration commands. If an ADS1146/7/8 calibration command is issued and the offset register is then read for storage and re-use later, it is recommended that all 24 bits of the OFC be used. When the calibration commands are not used and the offset is corrected by writing a user-calculated value to the OFC register, it is recommended that only that only OFC[2:1] be used and that OFC[0] be left as all zeros.

calibration value is 24-bit, straight binary, normalized to 1.0 at code 400000h. Table 12 summarizes the scaling of the full-scale register. Note that while the full-scale calibration register can correct gain errors > 1 (with gain scaling < 1), make sure to avoid overloading the analog inputs. The default or reset value of FSC depends on the PGA setting. A different factory-trimmed FSC Reset value is stored for each PGA setting which provides outstanding gain accuracy over all the ADS1146/7/8 input ranges. Note: The factory-trimmed FSC reset value loads automatically loaded whenever the PGA setting changes.

Calibration Commands

The ADS1146/7/8 provide commands for three types of calibration: system gain calibration, system offset calibration and self offset calibration. Where absolute accuracy is needed, it is recommended that calibration be performed after power on, a change in temperature, a change of PGA and in some cases a change in channel. At the completion of calibration, the DRDY signal goes low indicating the calibration is finished. The first data after calibration are always valid. If the START pin is taken low or a SLEEP command is issued after any calibration command, the devices goes to sleep after completing calibration.
System Gain Calibration
System gain calibration corrects for gain error in the signal path. The system gain calibration is initiated by sending the SYSGCAL command while applying a full-scale input to the selected analog inputs. Afterwards the full-scale calibration register (FSC) is updated. When a system gain calibration command is issued, the ADS1146/7/8 stop the current conversion and start the calibration procedure immediately.

System Offset and Self Offset Calibration
System offset calibration corrects both internal and external offset errors. The system offset calibration is initiated by sending the SYSOCAL command while applying a zero differential input (VIN= 0) to the selected analog inputs. The self offset calibration is initiated by sending the SELFOCAL command. During self offset calibration, the selected inputs are disconnected from the internal circuitry and a zero differential signal is applied internally. With both offset calibrations the offset calibration register (OFC) is updated afterwards. When either offset calibration command is issued, the ADS1146/7/8 stop the current conversion and start the calibration procedure immediately.

Calibration Timing

When calibration is initiated, the device performs 16 consecutive data conversions and averages the results to calculate the calibration value. This provides a more accurate calibration value. The time required for calibration is shown in Table 13 and can be calculated using Equation 8:
(8)

ADC SLEEP MODE

Power consumption can be dramatically reduced by placing the ADS1146/7/8 into sleep mode. There are two ways to put the device into sleep mode: the sleep command (SLEEP) and through the START pin.
During sleep mode, the internal reference status depends on the setting of the VREFCON bits in the MUX1 register; see the Register Descriptions section for details.

ADC CONTROL

ADC Conversion Control

The START pin provides easy and precise control of conversions. Pulse the START pin high to begin a conversion, as shown in Figure 27 and Table 14. The conversion completion is indicated by the DOUT/DRDY pin going low. When the conversion completes, the ADS1146/7/8 automatically shuts down to save power. During shutdown, the conversion result can be retrieved; however, START must be taken high before communicating with the configuration registers. The device stays shut down until the START pin is once again taken high to begin a new conversion. When the START pin is taken back high again, the decimation filter is held in a reset state for 32 modulator clock cycles internally to allow the analog circuits to settle.
The ADS1146/7/8 can be configured to convert continuously by holding the START pin high, as shown in Figure 28. With the START pin held high, the ADC converts the selected input channels continuously. This configuration continues until the START pin is taken low.
The START pin can also be used to perform the synchronized measurement for the multi-channel applications by pulsing the START pin.

When the RESET pin goes low, the device is immediately reset. All the registers are restored to default values. The device stays in reset mode as long as the RESET pin stays low. When it goes high, the ADC comes out of reset mode and is able to convert data.

If any write operation takes place in the MUX0 register, the filter is reset regardless of whether the value changed or not. Internally, the filter pulse lasts for two system clock periods. If any write activity takes place in the VBIAS, MUX1, or SYS0 registers, the filter is reset as well, regardless of whether the value changed or not. The reset pulse lasts for 32 modulator clocks after the write operation. If there are multiple write operations, the resulting reset pulse may be viewed as the ANDed result of the different active low pulses created individually by each action.

Digital Interface

The ADS1146/7/8 provide a standard SPI serial communication interface plus a data ready signal (DRDY). Communication is full-duplex with the exception of a few limitations in regards to the RREG command and the RDATA command. These limitations are explained in detail in the SPI
Commands section of this data sheet. For the basic
serial interface timing characteristics, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 of this document.
CS
This pin is the chip select pin (active low). The CS pin activates SPI communication. CS must be low before data transactions and must stay low for the entire SPI communication period. When CS is high, the DOUT/DRDY pin enters a high-impedance state. Therefore, reading and writing to the serial interface are ignored and the serial interface is reset. DRDY pin operation is independent of CS.
Taking CS high deactivates only the SPI communication with the device. Data conversion continues and the DRDY signal can be monitored to check if a new conversion result is ready. A master device monitoring the DRDY signal can select the appropriate slave device by pulling the CS pin low.
SCLK
This signal is the serial clock signal. SCLK provides the clock for serial communication. It is a Schmitt-trigger input, but it is highly recommended that SCLK be kept as clean as possible to prevent glitches from inadvertently shifting the data. Data are shifted into DIN on the falling edge of SCLK and shifted out of DOUT on the rising edge of SCLK.
This pin is the data input pin. DIN is used along with SCLK to send data to the device. Data on DIN are shifted into the device on the falling edge of SCLK.
The communication of this device is full-duplex in nature. The device monitors commands shifted in even when data are being shifted out. Data that are present in the output shift register are shifted out when sending in a command. Therefore, it is important to make sure that whatever is being sent on the DIN pin is valid when shifting out data. When no command is to be sent to the device when reading out data, the NOP command should be sent on DIN.
DRDY
This pin is the data ready pin. The DRDY pin goes low to indicate a new conversion is complete, and the conversion result is stored in the conversion result buffer. The SPI clock must be low in a short time frame around the DRDY low transition (see Figure 2) so that the conversion result is loaded into both the result buffer and the output shift register. Therefore, no commands should be issued during this time frame if the conversion result is to be read out later. This constraint applies only when CS is asserted. When CS is not asserted, SPI communication with other devices on the SPI bus does not affect loading of the conversion result. After the DRDY pin goes low, it is forced high on the first falling edge of SCLK (so that the DRDY pin can be polled for '0' instead of waiting for a falling edge). If the DRDY pin is not taken high after it falls low, a short high pulse is created on it to indicate the next data are ready.

The DOUT/DRDY pin goes high after the first rising edge of SCLK after reading the conversion result completely (see Figure 31). The same condition also applies after an RREG command. After all the register bits have been read out, the rising edge of SCLK forces DOUT/DRDY high. Figure 32 illustrates an example where sending four NOP commands after an RREG command forces the DOUT/DRDY pin high.

SPI Reset

SPI communication can be reset in several ways. In order to reset the SPI interface (without resetting the registers or the digital filter), the CS pin can be pulled high. Taking the RESET pin low causes the SPI interface to be reset along with all the other digital functions. In this case, the registers and the conversion are reset.

SPI Communication During Sleep Mode

When the START pin is low or the device is in sleep mode, only the RDATA, RDATAC, SDATAC, WAKEUP, and NOP commands can be issued. The RDATA command can be used to repeatedly read the last conversion result during sleep mode. Other commands do not function because the internal clock is shut down to save power during sleep mode.

SPI COMMANDS

SPI COMMAND DEFINITIONS

The commands shown in Table 21 control the operation of the ADS1146/7/8. Some of the commands are stand-alone commands (for example, RESET), whereas others require additional bytes (for example, WREG requires command, count, and the data bytes).
Operands:
n = number of registers to be read or written (number of bytes – 1) r = register (0 to 15) x = don't care

SYSTEM CONTROL COMMANDS WAKEUP—Wake up from sleep mode that is set by the SLEEP command.
Use this command to awaken the device from sleep mode. After execution of the WAKEUP command, the device wakes up on the rising edge of the eighth SCLK.
SLEEP—Set the device to sleep mode; issue the WAKEUP command to deactivate SLEEP mode.
This command places the part into a sleep (power-saving) mode. When the SLEEP command is issued, the device completes the current conversion and then goes into sleep mode. Note that this command does not automatically power-down the internal voltage reference; see the VREFCON bits in the MUX1 register for each device for further details.
To exit sleep mode, issue the WAKEUP command. Single conversions can be performed by issuing a WAKEUP command followed by a SLEEP command.
Both WAKEUP and SLEEP are the software command equivalents of using the START pin to control the device.
SBAS453C –JULY 2009–REVISED APRIL 2010
Figure 33. SLEEP and WAKEUP Commands Operation
SYNC—Synchronize DRDY.
This command resets the ADC digital filter and starts a new conversion. The DRDY pin from multiple devices connected to the same SPI bus can be synchronized by issuing a SYNC command to all of devices simultaneously.
Figure 34. SYNC Command Operation
RESET—Reset the device to power-up state.
This command restores the registers to the respective power-up values. This command also resets the digital filter. RESET is the command equivalent of using the RESET pin to reset the device. However, the RESET command does not reset the SPI interface. If the RESET command is issued when the SPI interface is in the wrong state, the device will not reset. The CS pin can be used to reset SPI interface first, and then a RESET command can be issued to reset the device. The RESET command holds the registers and the decimation filter in a reset state for 0.6ms when the system clock frequency is 4.096MHz, similar to the hardware reset. Therefore, SPI communication can be only be started 0.6ms after the RESET command is issued, as shown in Figure 35.

DATA RETRIEVAL COMMANDS RDATAC—Read data continuously.
The RDATAC command enables the automatic loading of a new conversion result into the output data register. In this mode, the conversion result can be received once from the device after the DRDY signal goes low by sending 16 SCLKs. It is not necessary to read back all the bits, as long as the number of bits read out is a multiple of eight. The RDATAC command must be issued after DRDY goes low, and the command takes effect on the next DRDY.
Be sure to complete data retrieval (conversion result or register read-back) before DRDY goes low, or the resulting data will be corrupt. Successful register read operations in RDATAC mode require the knowledge of when the next DRDY falling edge will occur.
www.ti.com
Figure 36. Read Data Continuously
SDATAC—Stop reading data continuously.
The SDATAC command terminates the RDATAC mode. Afterwards, the conversion result is not automatically loaded into the output shift register when DRDY goes low, and register read operations can be performed without interruption from new conversion results being loaded into the output shift register. Use the RDATA command to retrieve conversion data. The SDATAC command takes effect after the next DRDY.

RDATA—Read data once.
The RDATA command loads the most recent conversion result into the output register. After issuing this command, the conversion result can be read out by sending 16 SCLKs, as shown in Figure 38. This command also works in RDATAC mode.
When performing multiple reads of the conversion result, the RDATA command can be sent when the last eight bits of the conversion result are being shifted out during the course of the first read operation by taking advantage of the duplex communication nature of the SPI interface, as shown in Figure 39.

USER REGISTER READ AND WRITE COMMANDS RREG—Read from registers.
This command outputs the data from up to 16 registers, starting with the register address specified as part of the instruction. The number of registers read is one plus the second byte. If the count exceeds the remaining registers, the addresses wrap back to the beginning.
1st Command Byte: 0010 rrrr, where rrrr is the address of the first register to read. 2nd Command Byte: 0000 nnnn, where nnnn is the number of bytes to read –1.
It is not possible to use the full-duplex nature of the SPI interface when reading out the register data. For example, a SYNC command cannot be issued when reading out the VBIAS and MUX1 data, as shown in
Figure 40. Any command sent during the readout of the register data is ignored. Thus, it is advisable to send
NOP through the DIN when reading out the register data.

CALIBRATION COMMANDS

The ADS1146/7/8 provide system and offset calibration commands and a system gain calibration command. SYSOCAL—Offset system calibration.
This command initiates a system offset calibration. For a system offset calibration, the input should be externally set to zero. The OFC register is updated when this operation completes.
SYSGCAL—System gain calibration.
This command initiates the system gain calibration. For a system gain calibration, the input should be set to full-scale. The FSC register is updated after this operation.
SELFOCAL—Self offset calibration.
This command initiates a self-calibration for offset. The device internally shorts the inputs and performs the calibration. The OFC register is updated after this operation.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

SPI COMMUNICATION EXAMPLES negative terminal of both sensors (that is, channels

This section contains several examples of SPI communication with the ADS1146/7/8, including the power-up sequence.

Channel Multiplexing Example

This first example applies only to the ADS1147 and ADS1148. It explains a method to use the device with two sensors connected to two different analog channels. Figure 43 shows the sequence of SPI operations performed on the device. After power-up, 216system clocks are required before communication may be started. During the first 216system clock cycles, the devices are internally held in a reset state. In this example, one of the sensors is connected to channels AIN0 and AIN1 and the other sensor is connected to channels AIN2 and AIN3. The ADC is operated at a data rate of 2kSPS. The PGA gain is set to 32 for both sensors. VBIAS is connected to the
AIN1 and AIN3). All these settings can be changed by performing a block write operation on the first four registers of the device. After the DRDY pin goes low, the conversion result can be immediately retrieved by sending in 16 SPI clock pulses because the device defaults to RDATAC mode. As the conversion result is being retrieved, the active input channels can be switched to AIN2 and AIN3 by writing into the MUX0 register in a full-duplex manner, as shown in
Figure 43. The write operation is completed with an
additional eight SPI clock pulses. The time from the write operation into the MUX0 register to the next DRDY low transition is shown in Figure 43 and is
0.513ms in this case. After DRDY goes low, the conversion result can be retrieved and the active channel can be switched as before.

Sleep Mode Example

This second example deals with performing one conversion after power-up and then entering into the power-saving sleep mode. In this example, a sensor is connected to input channels AIN0 and AIN1. Commands to set up the devices must occur at least 216system clock cycles after powering up the devices. The ADC operates at a data rate of 2kSPS. The PGA gain is set to 32 for both sensors. VBIAS is connected to the negative terminal of both the sensors (that is, channel AIN1). All these settings can
be changed by performing a block write operation on the first four registers of the device. After performing the block write operation, the START pin can be taken low. The device enters the power-saving sleep mode as soon as DRDY goes low 0.575ms after writing into the SYS0 register. The conversion result can be retrieved even after the device enters sleep mode by sending 16 SPI clock pulses.
