DESCRIPTION
The ADS1224 is a 4-channel, 24-bit, delta-sigma analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. It offers excellent performance and low power in a TSSOP-20 package. The
ADS1224 is well-suited for demanding, high-resolution
measurements, especially in portable systems and other space-saving and power-constrained applications.
A delta-sigma modulator and digital filter form the basis
of the A/D converter. The analog modulator has a ±5V
differential input range. An input multiplexer (mux) is
used to select between four separate differential input
channels. A bu ffer can be selected to increase the input
impedance of the measurement.
A simple, 2-wire serial interface provides all the
necessary control. Data retrieval, self-calibration, and
Standby mode are handled with a few simple
waveforms. When only single conversions are needed,
the ADS1224 can be quickly shut down (Standby mode)
while idle between measurements to dramatically
reduce the overall power consumption. Multiple
ADS1224s can be connected together to create a
synchronously sampling multichannel measurement
system. The ADS1224 is designed to easily connect to
microcontrollers, such as the MSP430.
The ADS1224 supports 2.7V to 5.5V analog supplies
and 2.7V to 5.5V digital supplies. Power is typically less
than 1mW in 3V operation and less than 1µW during
Standby mode.

OVERVIEW
The ADS1224 is an A/D converter comprised of a
delta-sigma modulator followed by a digital filter. A m u x
allows for one of four input channels to be selected. A
buffer can also be selected to increase the input
impedance. The modulator measures the differential
input signal VIN = (AINP – AINN) against the differential
reference V
= (VREFP – VREFN). Figure 13 shows
REF
a conceptual diagram of the device. The differential
reference is scaled internally so that the full-scale input
range i s ±2V
. The digital filter receives the modulator
REF
signal and provides a low-noise digital output. A 2-wire
serial interface indicates conversion completion and
provides the user with the output data.
ANALOG INPUTS (AINPx, AINNx)
The input signal to be measured is applied to the input
pins AINPx and AINNx. The positive internal input is
generalized as AINP, and the negative internal input is
generalized as AINN. The signal is selected though the
input mux, which is controlled by pins MUX0 and MUX1,
as shown in Table 1. The ADS1224 accepts differential
input signals, but can also measure unipolar signals.
When measuring unipolar (or single-ended signals)
with respect to ground, connect the negative input
(AINNx) to ground and connect the input signal to the
positive input (AINPx). Note that when the ADS1224 is
configured this way , only half of the converter full-scale
range is used since only positive digital output codes
are produced. An input buffer can be selected to
increase the input impedance of the A/D converter with
the BUFEN pin.
With the buffer disabled by setting the B UFEN pin l ow, the
ADS1224 measures the input signal using internal
capacitors that are continuously charged and discharged.
Figure 14 shows a sim plif ied schematic of the ADS1224
input circuitry, with F igure 15 showing t he on/off t imings of
the switches. The S
switches close during the input
1
sampling phase. With S1 closed, CA1 charges to AI NP,
CA2 charges to AINN, and CB charges to (AINP – AINN).
For the discharge phase, S1 opens first and then S
closes. CA1 and CA2 discharge to approximately A VDD/2
and CB discharges to 0V. This two-phase
sample/discharge cycle repeats with a frequency of

ESD diodes protect the inputs. To keep these diodes
from turning on, make sure the voltages on the input
pins do not go below GND by more than 100mV, and
likewise do not exceed AVDD by 100mV:
GND – 100mV < (AINP, AINN) < AVDD + 100mV
Analog Input Measurement with the Input Buffer
When the buffer is enabled by setting the BUFEN pin
high, a low-drift, chopper-stabilized input buffer is used
to achieve very high input impedance. The buffer
charges the input sampling capacitors, thus removing
the load from the measurement. Because the input
buffer is chopper-stabilized, the charging of parasitic
capacitances causes the charge to be carried away , as
if by resistance. The input impedance can be modeled
by a single resistor, as shown in Figure 17. The
impedance scales inversely with f
frequency, as in
CLK
the nonbuffered case.

The constant charging of the input capacitors presents
a load on the inputs that can be represented by effective
impedances. Figure 16 shows the input circuitry with
the capacitors and switches of Figure 14 replaced by
their effective impedances. These impedances scale
inversely with f
frequency. For example, if f

Note that the analog inputs (listed in the Electrical
Characteristics table as Absolute Input Range) must
remain between GND + 0.05V to AVDD − 1.5V.
Exceeding this range degrades linearity and results in
performance outside the specified limits.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR
On-chip diodes provide temperature-sensing capability. By setting the TEMPEN pin high, the selected analog
inputs are disconnected and the inputs to the A/D
converter are connected to the anodes of two diodes
scaled to 1x and 64x in current and size inside the mux,
as shown in Figure 18. By measuring the difference in
voltage of these diodes, temperature changes can be
inferred from a baseline temperature. Typically, the
difference in diode voltages is 106mV at 25°C, with a
temperature coefficient of 360µV/°C. A similar structure
is used in the MSC1210 for temperature measurement.

Figure 19. Simplified Reference input Circuitry
ESD diodes protect the reference inputs. To prevent
these diodes from turning on, make sure the voltages
on the reference pins do not go below GND by more
than 100mV, and likewise, do not exceed AVDD by
100mV:
GND – 100mV < (VREFP, VREFN) < AVDD + 100mV
During self gain calibration, all the switches in the input
multiplexer are opened, VREFN is internally connected to
AINN, and VREFP is connected to AINP. The input buffer
may be disabled or enabled during calibration. When the
buffer is dis abled, the reference pins will be driving the
circuitry shown in Figure 9 during self gain calibration,
resulting in increased loading. To prevent this additional
loading from introducing gain errors, make sure the
circuitry driving the reference pins has adequate drive
capability. When the buffer is enabled, the loading on the

remain within the specified input range of the buffer in
order to establish proper gain calibration.
For best performance, V
be raised as high as AVDD. When V
should b e A VDD/2, but it can
REF
REF
exceeds
AVDD/2, it is not possible to reach the full-scale digital
output value corresponding to ±2V
, since this r equires
REF
the analog inputs to exceed the power supplies. For
example, if V
= AVDD = 5V, the positive full-scale
REF
signal is 10V. The maximum positive input signal that can
be supplied before the ESD diodes turn on is when AINP
= 5.1V and AINN = –0.1V, resulting in VIN = 5.2V.
Therefore, it is not possible to reach the positive (or
negative) full-scale readings in this configuration. The
digital output codes are limited to approximately one half
of the entire range. For best performance, bypass the
voltage reference inputs with a 0.1µF capac itor between
VREFP and VREFN. Place the capacitor as close as
possible to the pins.
CLOCK INPUT (CLK)
This digital input supplies the system clock to the
ADS1224. The CLK frequency can be increased to
speed up the data rate. CLK must be left running during
normal operation. It may be turned off during Standby
mode to save power, but this is not required. The CLK
input may be driven with 5V logic, regardless of the
DVDD or AVDD voltage.
Minimize the overshoot and undershoot on CLK for the
best analog performance. A small resistor in series with
CLK (10Ω to 100Ω) can often help. CLK can be
generated from a number of sources including
standalone crystal oscillators and microcontrollers.
the pin can be forced high with an additional SCLK. It will
then stay high until new data is ready. This is useful
when polling on the status of DRDY/DOUT to determine
when to begin data retrieval.
SERIAL CLOCK INPUT (SCLK)
This digital input shifts serial data out with each rising
edge. As with CLK, this input may be driven with 5V
logic regardless of the DVDD or AVDD voltage. There
is hysteresis built into this input, but care should still be
taken to ensure a clean signal. Glitches or slow-rising
signals can cause unwanted additional shifting. For this
reason, it is best to make sure the rise-and-fall times of
SCLK are less than 50ns.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The ADS1224 frequency response for f
shown in Figure 20. The frequency response repeats at
multiples of the modulator sampling frequency of
62.5kHz. The overall response is that of a low-pass filter
with a −3db cutoff frequency of 31.5Hz. As shown, the
ADS1224 does a good job attenuating out to 60kHz. For
the best resolution, limit the input bandwidth to less than
this value to keep higher frequency noise from affecting
performance. Often, a simple RC filter on the ADS1224
analog inputs is all that is needed.

DATA READY/DATA OUTPUT (DRDY/DOUT)
This digital output pin serves two purposes. First, it
indicates when new data is ready by going LOW.
Afterwards, on the first rising edge of SCLK, the
DRDY/DOUT pin changes function and begins
outputting the conversion data, most significant bit
(MSB) first. Data is shifted out on each subsequent
SCLK rising edge. After all 24 bits have been retrieved,

To help see the response at lower frequencies,
Figure 21 illustrates the response out to 1kHz. Notice
that signals at multiples of 120Hz are rejected. The
ADS1224 data rate and frequency response scale
directly with CLK frequency. For example, if f

increases from 2MHz to 4MHz, the data rate increases
from 120SPS to 240SPS, while the notches increase
from 120Hz to 240Hz.

SETTLING TIME
After changing the input multiplexer, selecting the input
buffer, or using temperature sensor, the first data is fully
settled. In the ADS1224, the digital filter is allowed to
settle after toggling any of the MUX0, MUX1, BUFEN,
or TEMPEN pins. Toggling of any of these digital pins
will cause the input to switch to the proper channel, start
conversions, and hold the DRDY/DOUT line high until
the digital filter is fully settled. For example, if MUX0
changes from low to high, selecting a different input
channel, DRDY/DOUT immediately goes high and the
conversion process restarts. DRDY/DOUT goes low
when fully settled data is ready for retrieval. There is no
need to discard any data. Figure 23 shows the timing of
the DRDY/DOUT line as the input multiplexer changes.

SBAS286A − JUNE 2003 − REVISED MARCH 2004
The ADS1224 uses a Sinc3 digital filter to improve noise
performance. Therefore, in certain instances, large
changes in input will require settling time. For example,
an external multiplexer in front of the ADS1224 can put
large changes in input voltage by simply switching input
channels. Abrupt changes in the input will require three
data cycles to settle. When continuously converting,
four readings may be necessary to settle the data. If the
change in input occurs in the middle of the first conversion, three more full conversions of the fully settled input
will be required to get fully settled data. Discard the first
three readings because they will contain only partially−
settled data. Figure 24 illustrates the settling time for
the ADS1224 in Continuous Conversion mode.
If the input is known to change abruptly, the mux can be
quickly switched to an alternate channel and quickly
switched back to the original channel. By toggling the
mux, the ADS1224 resets the digital filter and initiates a
new conversion. During this time, the DRDY
/DOUT line
is held high until fully-settled data is available.
DATA FORMAT
The ADS1224 outputs 24 bits of data in binary two’s
complement format. The least significant bit (LSB) has
a weight of (2VREF)/(223 – 1). The positive full-scale
input produces an output code of 7FFFFFh and the
negative full-scale input produces an output code of
800000h. The output clips at these codes for signals
exceeding full-scale. Table 2 summarizes the ideal
output codes for different input signals.

DATA RETRIEVAL
The ADS1224 continuously converts the analog input
signal. To retrieve data, wait until DRDY/DOUT goes
low, as shown in Figure 25. After this occurs, begin
shifting out the data by applying SCLKs. Data is shifted
out MSB first. It is not required to shift out all 24 bits of
data, but the data must be retrieved before the new data
is updated (see t2) or else it will be overwritten. Avoid
data retrieval during the update period. DRDY/DOUT
remain at the state of the last bit shifted out until it is
taken high (see t6), indicating that new data is being
updated. To avoid having DRDY/DOUT remain in the
state of the last bit, shift a 25th SCLK to force
DRDY/DOUT high (see Figure 26). This technique is
useful when a host controlling the ADS1224 is polling
DRDY/DOUT to determine when data is ready.

SELF-CALIBRATION
Self-calibration can be initiated at any time, although in
many applications the ADS1224 drift performance is so
good that the self-calibration performed automatically
at power-up is all that is needed. To initiate
self-calibration, apply at least two additional SCLKs
after retrieving 24 bits of data. Figure 27 shows the
timing pattern. The 25th SCLK will send DRDY/DOUT
high. The falling edge of the 26th SCLK will begin the
calibration cycle. Additional SCLK pulses may be sent
after the 26th SCLK; however, activity on SCLK should
be minimized during calibration for best results.
When the calibration is complete, DRDY/DOUT goes
low, indicating that new data is ready. There is no need
to alter the analog input signal applied to the ADS1224
during calibration; the input pins are disconnected
within the A/D converter and the appropriate signals are
applied internally and automatically. The first
conversion after a calibration is fully settled and valid for
use. The time required for a calibration depends on two
independent signals: the falling edge of SCLK and an
internal clock derived from CLK. Variations in the
internal calibration values will change the time required
for calibration (t8) within the range given by the min/max
specs. t11 and t12 described in the next section are
affected likewise.
STANDBY MODE
Standby mode dramatically reduces power
consumption (typically < 1µW with CLK stopped) by
shutting down all of the active circuitry. To enter Standby
mode, simply hold SCLK high after DRDY/DOUT goes
low, as shown in Figure 28. Standby mode can be
initiated at any time during readback; it is not necessary
to retrieve all 24 bits of data beforehand.
When t11 has p assed with S CLK held h igh, Standby mode
will activate. DRDY/DOUT stays high when Standby
mode begins. SCLK must remain high to stay in Standby
mode. To exit St andby mode (wakeup), set SCLK low.
The first data after exiting Standby mode is valid. It is not
necessary to stop CLK during Standby mode, but doing
so will furt her reduc e the digital supply curr ent.
Standby Mode With Self-Calibration
Self-calibration can be set to run immediately after
exiting Standby mode. This is useful when the
ADS1224 is put in Standby mode for long periods of
time and self-calibration is desired afterwards to
compensate for temperature or supply voltage
changes.
To force a self-calibration with Standby mode, shift 25
bits out before taking SCLK high to enter Standby
mode. Self-calibration then begins after wakeup.
Figure 29 shows the appropriate timing. Note the extra
time needed after wakeup for calibration before data is
ready. The first data after Standby mode with
self-calibration is fully settled and can be used.

SINGLE CONVERSIONS
When only single conversions are needed, Standby
mode can be used to start and stop the ADS1224. To
make a single conversion, first enter the Standby mode
holding SCLK high. Now, when ready to start the
conversion, take SCLK low. The ADS1224 wakes up
and begins the conversion. Wait for DRDY/DOUT to go
low, and then retrieve the data. Afterwards, take SCLK

Standby mode. Continue to hold SCLK high until ready
to start the next conversion. Operating in this fashion
greatly reduces power consumption since the
ADS1224 is shut down while idle between conversions.
Self-calibrations can be performed prior to the start of
the single conversions by using the waveform shown in
Figure 29.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The ADS1224 is a high-resolution A/D converter.
Achieving optimal device performance requires careful
attention to the support circuitry and printed circuit
board (PCB) design. Figure 30 shows the basic
connections for the ADS1224. As with any precision
circuit, be sure to use good supply bypassing capacitor
techniques. A smaller value ceramic capacitor in
parallel with a larger value tantulum capacitor works
well. Place the capacitors, in particular the ceramic
ones, close to the supply pins. Use a ground plane and
tie the ADS1224 GND pin and bypass capacitors
directly to it. Avoid ringing on the digital inputs. Small
resistors (≈100Ω) in series with the digital pins can help
by controlling the trace impedance. Place these
resistors at the source end.
Pay special attention to the reference and analog
inputs. These are the most critical circuits. Bypass the
voltage reference using similar techniques to the supply
voltages. The quality of the reference directly affects
the overall accuracy of the device. Make sure to use a
low noise and low drift reference such as the REF1004.
Often, only a simple RC filter is needed on the inputs.
This circuits limits the higher frequency noise. Avoid
low-grade dielectrics for the capacitors and place them
as close as possible to the input pins. Keep the traces
to the input pins short, and carefully watch how they are
routed on the PCB.
After the power supplies and reference voltage have
stabilized, issue a self-calibration command to
minimize offset and gain errors.

MULTICHANNEL SYSTEMS
Multiple ADS1224s can be operated in parallel to
measure multiple input signals. Figure 31 shows an
example of an eight-channel system. For simplicity, the
supplies and reference circuitry are not shown. The
same CLK signal should be applied to all devices. To
synchronize the ADS1224s, connect the same SCLK
signal to all devices. Then place all the devices in
Standby mode. Afterwards, starting a conversion will
synchronize all the ADS1224s; that is, they will sample
the input signals simultaneously. The DRDY/DOUT
outputs will go low at approximately the same time after
synchronization. When reading data from the devices,
the data appears in parallel on DRDY/DOUT as a result
of the common SCLK connection.

The falling edges of DRDY
/DOUT, indicating that new
data is ready, will vary with respect to each other no
more than time t
. This variation is due to possible
13
differences in the ADS1224 internal calibration settings.
To account for this, when using multiple devices, either
wait for t13 to pass after seeing one DRDY/DOUT go
low, or wait until all DRDY/DOUTs have gone low before
retrieving data.
Note that changing channels (using the MUX0 and
MUX1 pins), or using the input buffer (BUFEN) or the
temperature sensor (TEMPEN), may require more care
to settle the digital filter. For example, if the MUX0 pin
is toggled on one device and not the other, the
DRDY/DOUT line will be held high until the conversion
settles on the first device. The latter device will continue
conversions through this time. See the Settling Time
section of this datasheet for further details.

VESSEL WEIGHING WITH FOUR LOAD
CELLS
In vessel weighing systems, four load cells are
frequently employed to measure the weight of the
vessel and its contents. The output of the load cells are
usually combined in an external summing junction box
that balances the load cells’ sensitivities for accuracy.
The four differential inputs of the ADS1224 allow for
direct measurement of the four load cells individually. In
this way , the mechanical adjustments performed inside
the summing junction box are eliminated and are
replaced by digital summing of the load cells in
software. Figure 32 shows an example of such a
system.
The reference voltage of the ADS1224 is derived by
dividing down the AVDD supply voltage to 2.5V, while
the load cell has a positive full-scale output of 10mV . In
the figure, a low drift, dual op amp (OP A2335) provides
a differential in/differential out amplifier with a gain of
499V/V (G = 1 + 2RF/RG). Gain on the load cell gives
the amplifier a full-scale output of 5V.
Each load cell input uses an external amplifier. The
outputs of the amplifiers connect to the analog inputs of
the ADS1224 through a low-pass filter. The cut-off
frequency is set to 360Hz, allowing full settling in a
single measurement cycle. A lower cut-off frequency
can be used to reduce noise from mechanical
vibrations, but at the expense of filter settling time.
The internal buffer of the ADS1224 is disabled, allowing
the VREFN pin to be grounded. Note that the loading
from the reference inputs will change the effective
reference voltage. The effective input impedance into
the VREFP and VREFN pins will lower the reference
voltage seen at these pins. At 2MHz, input impedance
is approximately 500kΩ. For the reference circuit shown
in Figure 32, this lowers the effective reference voltage
by approximately 0.1%.
