The ADS1218 is a precision, wide dynamic range, delta-sigma, Analog-toDigital (A/D) converter with 24-bit resolution and FLASH memory operating
from 2.7V to 5.25V supplies. The delta-sigma, A/D converter provides up to
24 bits of no missing code performance and effective resolution of 22 bits.
The eight input channels are multiplexed. Internal buffering can be selected
to provide a very high input impedance for direct connection to transducers
or low-level voltage signals. Burn out current sources are provided that allow
for the detection of an open or shorted sensor. An 8-bit Digital-to-Analog (D/
A) converter provides an offset correction with a range of 50% of the FSR
(Full-Scale Range).
The PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier) provides selectable gains of 1 to
128 with an effective resolution of 19 bits at a gain of 128. The A/D
conversion is accomplished with a second-order delta-sigma modulator and
programmable sinc filter. The reference input is differential and can be used
for ratiometric conversion. The on-board current DACs (Digital-to-Analog
Converters) operate independently with the maximum current set by an
external resistor.
The serial interface is SPI compatible. Eight bits of digital I/O are also provided
that can be used for input or output. The ADS1218 is designed for high-resolution
measurement applications in smart transmitters, industrial process control, weight
scales, chromatography, and portable instrumentation.

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate
precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation
procedures can cause damage.
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage ranging from performance degradation to complete device failure. Texas Instruments
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled and stored using
appropriate ESD protection methods.
NOTE: (1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may
cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to absolute maximum
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
