The ADS1254 is a precision, high-dynamic range, 24-bit,
delta-sigma, A/D converter capable of achieving very
high-resolution digital results at high data rates.
The analog-input signal is sampled at a rate determined by the
frequency of the system clock (CLK). The sampled analog
input is modulated by the delta-sigma A/D modulator, which
is followed by a digital filter. A sinc5 digital low-pass filter
processes the output of the delta-sigma modulator and writes
the result into the data-output register. The DOUT/DRDY pin
is pulled LOW, indicating that new data is available to be read
by the external microcontroller/microprocessor. As shown in
the block diagram, the main functional blocks of the ADS1254
are the fourth-order delta-sigma modulator, a digital filter,
control logic, and a serial interface. Each of these functional
blocks is described below.
ANALOG INPUT
The ADS1254 contains a fully differential analog input. In order
to provide low system noise, common-mode rejection of 102dB,
and excellent power-supply rejection, the design topology is
based on a fully differential switched-capacitor architecture. The
bipolar input voltage range is from –4.096V to +4.096V, when
the reference input voltage equals +4.096V. The bipolar range is
with respect to –VIN, and not with respect to GND.
Figure 1 shows the basic input structure of the ADS1254.
The impedance is directly related to the sampling frequency
of the input capacitor that is set by the CLK rate. Higher
CLK rates result in lower impedance, and lower CLK rates
result in higher impedance.

20.8kHz with a –3dB frequency of 4.24kHz. The –3dB
frequency scales with the system clock frequency.
To ensure the best linearity of the ADS1254, a fully differential signal is recommended.
INPUT MULTIPLEXER
The CHSEL1 and CHSEL0 pins are used to select the analog
input channel, as shown in Table I. The recommended
method for changing channels is to change them after the
conversion from the previous channel has been completed
and read. When a channel is changed, internal logic senses
the change on the falling edge of CLK and resets the
conversion process. The conversion data from the new
channel is valid on the first DRDY after the channel change.
When multiplexing inputs, it is possible to achieve sample
rates close to 4kHz. This is due to the fact that it requires five
internal conversion cycles for the data to fully settle. The
data also must be read before the channel is changed. The
DRDY signal indicates a valid result after the five cycles
have occurred.

TABLE I. Channel Selection.
Each of the differential inputs of the ADS1254 must stay
between AGND and AVDD. With a reference voltage at less
than half of AVDD, one input can be tied to the reference
voltage, and the other input can range from AGND to
2 • V
. By using a three op-amp circuit featuring a single
REF
amplifier and four external resistors, the ADS1254 can be
configured to accept bipolar inputs referenced to ground.
The conventional ±2.5V, ±5V, and ±10V input ranges can
be interfaced to the ADS1254 using the resistor values
shown in Figure 2.
The input impedance of the analog input changes with the
ADS1254 system clock frequency (CLK). The relationship is:
AIN Impedance (Ω) = (8MHz/CLK) • 125,000
With regard to the analog-input signal, the overall analog
performance of the device is affected by three items: first, the
input impedance can affect accuracy. If the source impedance
of the input signal is significant, or if there is passive filtering
prior to the ADS1254, a significant portion of the signal can be
lost across this external impedance. The magnitude of the
effect is dependent on the desired system performance.
Second, the current into or out of the analog inputs must be
limited. Under no conditions should the current into or out
of the analog inputs exceed 10mA.
Third, to prevent aliasing of the input signal, the analog-input
signal must be band limited. The bandwidth of the A/D
converter is a function of the system clock frequency. With a
system clock frequency of 8MHz, the data-output rate is

DELTA-SIGMA MODULATOR
The ADS1254 operates from a nominal system clock frequency of 8MHz. The modulator frequency is fixed in
relation to the system clock frequency. The system clock
frequency is divided by 6 to derive the modulator frequency.
Therefore, with a system clock frequency of 8MHz, the
modulator frequency is 1.333MHz. Furthermore, the
oversampling ratio of the modulator is fixed in relation to the
modulator frequency. The oversampling ratio of the modulator is 64, and with the modulator frequency running at
1.333MHz, the data rate is 20.8kHz. Using a slower system
clock frequency will result in a lower data output rate, as
shown in Table II.

TABLE II. CLK Rate versus Data Output Rate.
REFERENCE INPUT
Reference input takes an average current of 32µA with a
8MHz system clock. This current will be proportional to the
system clock. A buffered reference is recommended for the
ADS1254. The recommended reference circuit is shown in
Figure 3.
Reference voltages higher than 4.096V will increase the
full-scale range, while the absolute internal circuit noise of
the converter remains the same. This will decrease the noise
in terms of ppm of full scale, which increases the effective
resolution (see the Typical Characteristic “RMS Noise vs
V
Voltage”).
REF
DIGITAL FILTER
The digital filter of the ADS1254, referred to as a sinc5 filter,
computes the digital result based on the most recent outputs
from the delta-sigma modulator. At the most basic level, the
digital filter can be thought of as simply averaging the
modulator results in a weighted form and presenting this
average as the digital output. The digital output rate, or data
rate, scales directly with the system CLK frequency. This
allows the data output rate to be changed over a very wide
range (five orders of magnitude) by changing the system
CLK frequency. However, it is important to note that the
–3dB point of the filter is 0.2035 times the data output rate,
so the data output rate should allow for sufficient margin to
prevent attenuation of the signal of interest.
Since the conversion result is essentially an average, the
data-output rate determines the location of the resulting
notches in the digital filter (see Figure 4). Note that the first
notch is located at the data-output rate frequency, and
subsequent notches are located at integer multiples of the
data-output rate to allow for rejection of not only the
fundamental frequency, but also harmonic frequencies. In
this manner, the data-output rate can be used to set specific
notch frequencies in the digital filter response.
For example, if the rejection of power-line frequencies is
desired, then the data-output rate can simply be set to the
power-line frequency. For 50Hz rejection, the system CLK

frequency should be 19.200kHz, this will set the data-output
rate to 50Hz (see Table I and Figure 5). For 60Hz rejection,
the system CLK frequency should be 23.040kHz, this will set
the data-output rate to 60Hz (see Table I and Figure 6). If both
50Hz and 60Hz rejection is required, then the system CLK
should be 3.840kHz; this will set the data-output rate to 10Hz
and reject both 50Hz and 60Hz (See Table I and Figure 7).
There is an additional benefit in using a lower data-output
rate. It provides better rejection of signals in the frequency
band of interest. For example, with a 50Hz data-output rate,
a significant signal at 75Hz may alias back into the passband
at 25Hz. This is due to the fact that rejection at 75Hz may only
be 66dB in the stopband—frequencies higher than the firstnotch frequency (see Figure 5). However, setting the dataoutput rate to 10Hz will provide 135dB rejection at 75Hz (see
Figure 7). A similar benefit is gained at frequencies near the
data-output rate (see Figures 8, 9, 10, and 11). For example,
with a 50Hz data-output rate, rejection at 55Hz may only be
105dB (see Figure 8). However, with a 10Hz data-output rate,
rejection at 55Hz will be 122dB (see Figure 9). If a slower
data-output rate does not meet the system requirements, then
the analog front end can be designed to provide the needed
attenuation to prevent aliasing. Additionally, the data-output
rate may be increased and additional digital filtering may be
done in the processor or controller.

The digital filter requires five conversions to fully settle. The
modulator has an oversampling ratio of 64, therefore, it
requires 5 • 64, or 320 modulator results, or clocks, to fully
settle. Since the modulator clock is derived from the system
clock (CLK) (modulator clock = CLK ÷ 6), the number of
system clocks required for the digital filter to fully settle is
5 • 64 • 6, or 1920 CLKs. This means that any significant
step change at the analog input requires five full conversions
to settle. However, if the step change at the analog input
occurs asynchronously to the DOUT/DRDY pulse, six conversions are required to ensure full settling.

SBAS213
CONTROL LOGIC
The control logic is used for communications and control of
the ADS1254.
Power-Up Sequence
Prior to power-up, all digital and analog-input pins must be
LOW. During power-up, these signal inputs should never
exceed +AV
or +DVDD.
DD
Once the ADS1254 powers up, the DOUT/DRDY line will
pulse LOW on the first conversion for which the data is valid
from the analog input signal.
DOUT/DRDY
The DOUT/DRDY output signal alternates between two
modes of operation. The first mode of operation is the Data
Ready mode (DRDY) to indicate that new data has been
loaded into the data-output register and is ready to be read.
The second mode of operation is the Data Output (DOUT)
mode and is used to serially shift data out of the Data Output
Register (DOR). The time domain partitioning of the DRDY
and DOUT function as shown in Figure 12.
See Figure 13 for the basic timing of DOUT/DRDY. During
the time defined by t2, t3, and t4, the DOUT/DRDY pin
functions in DRDY mode. The state of the DOUT/DRDY
pin would be HIGH prior to the internal transfer of new data
to the DOR. The result of the A/D conversion would be
written to the DOR from MSB to LSB in the time defined by
t1 (see Figures 12 and 13). The DOUT/DRDY line would
then pulse LOW for the time defined by t2, and then pulse
HIGH for the time defined by t3 to indicate that new data
was available to be read. At this point, the function of the
DOUT/DRDY pin would change to DOUT mode. Data
would be shifted out on the pin after t7. The device communicating with the ADS1254 can provide SCLKs to the
ADS1254 after the time defined by t6. The normal mode of
reading data from the ADS1254 would be for the device
reading the ADS1254 to latch the data on the rising edge of
SCLK (since data is shifted out of the ADS1254 on the
falling edge of SCLK). In order to retrieve valid data, the
entire DOR must be read before the DOUT/DRDY pin
reverts back to DRDY mode.
If SCLKs were not provided to the ADS1254 during the
DOUT mode, the MSB of the DOR would be present on the
DOUT/DRDY line until the time defined by t4. If an incomplete read of the ADS1254 took place while in DOUT mode
(i.e., less than 24 SCLKs were provided), the state of the last
bit read would be present on the DOUT/DRDY line until the
time defined by t
. If more than 24 SCLKs were provided
4
during DOUT mode, the DOUT/DRDY line would stay
LOW until the time defined by t4.
The internal data pointer for shifting data out on
DOUT/DRDY is reset on the falling edge of the time defined
by t1 and t4. This ensures that the first bit of data shifted out
of the ADS1254 after DRDY mode is always the MSB of
new data.
SYNCHRONIZING MULTIPLE CONVERTERS
The normal state of SCLK is LOW, however, by holding
SCLK HIGH, multiple ADS1254s can be synchronized. This
is accomplished by holding SCLK HIGH for at least four, but
less than twenty, consecutive DOUT/DRDY cycles (see Figure 14). After the ADS1254 circuitry detects that SCLK has
been held HIGH for four consecutive DOUT/DRDY cycles,
the DOUT/DRDY pin will pulse LOW for 3 CLK cycles and
then be held HIGH, and the modulator will be held in a reset
state. The modulator will be released from reset and synchronization will occur on the falling edge of SCLK. With
multiple converters, the falling edge transition of SCLK must
occur simultaneously on all devices. It is important to note
that prior to synchronization, the DOUT/DRDY pulse of
multiple ADS1254s in the system could have a difference in
timing up to one DRDY period. Therefore, to ensure synchronization, the SCLK should be held HIGH for at least five
DRDY cycles. The first DOUT/DRDY pulse after the falling
edge of SCLK will occur at t
. The first DOUT/DRDY pulse
14
indicates valid data.
POWER-DOWN MODE
The normal state of SCLK is LOW, however, by holding
SCLK HIGH, the ADS1254 will enter power-down mode.
This is accomplished by holding SCLK HIGH for at least
twenty consecutive DOUT/DRDY periods (see Figure 15).
After the ADS1254 circuitry detects that SCLK has been
held HIGH for four consecutive DOUT/DRDY cycles, the
DOUT/DRDY pin will pulse LOW for 3 CLK cycles and
then be held HIGH, and the modulator will be held in a
reset state. If SCLK is held HIGH for an additional sixteen
DOUT/DRDY periods, the ADS1254 will enter
power-down mode. The part will be released from powerdown mode on the falling edge of SCLK. It is important to
note that the DOUT/DRDY pin will be held HIGH after four
DOUT/DRDY cycles, but power-down mode will not be
entered for an additional sixteen DOUT/DRDY periods. The
first DOUT/DRDY pulse after the falling edge of SCLK will
occur at t
and will indicate valid data. Subsequent DOUT/
16
DRDY pulses will occur normally.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The ADS1254 includes a simple serial interface that can be
connected to microcontrollers and digital signal processors
in a variety of ways. Communications with the ADS1254
can commence on the first detection of the DOUT/DRDY
pulse after power up.
It is important to note that the data from the ADS1254 is a
24-bit result transmitted MSB-first in Offset Two’s Complement format, as shown in Table IV.
The data must be clocked out before the ADS1254 enters
DRDY mode to ensure reception of valid data, as described
in the DOUT/DRDY section of this data sheet.
ISOLATION
The serial interface of the ADS1254 provides for simple
isolation methods. The CLK signal can be local to the
ADS1254, which then only requires two signals (SCLK and
DOUT/DRDY) to be used for isolated data acquisition. The
channel select signals (CHSEL0, CHSEL1) will also need to
be isolated unless a counter is used to auto multiplex the
channels.

LAYOUT
POWER SUPPLY
The power supply should be well regulated and low noise.
For designs requiring very high resolution from the ADS1254,
power-supply rejection will be a concern. Avoid running
digital lines under the device as they may couple noise onto
the die. High-frequency noise can capacitively couple into
the analog portion of the device and will alias back into the
passband of the digital filter, affecting the conversion result.
This clock noise will cause an offset error.
GROUNDING
The analog and digital sections of the system design should
be carefully and cleanly partitioned. Each section should
have its own ground plane with no overlap between them.
AGND should be connected to the analog ground plane, as
well as all other analog grounds. Do not join the analog and
digital ground planes on the board, but instead connect the
two with a moderate signal trace. For multiple converters,
connect the two ground planes at one location as central to
all of the converters as possible. In some cases, experimentation may be required to find the best point to connect the
two planes together. The printed circuit board can be designed to provide different analog/digital ground connections via short jumpers. The initial prototype can be used to
establish which connection works best.
could include:
• Multiple ADS1254s
• Extensive Analog Signal Processing
• One or More Microcontrollers, Digital Signal Processors,
or Microprocessors
• Many Different Clock Sources
• Interconnections to Various Other Systems
High resolution will be very difficult to achieve for this
design. The approach would be to break the system into as
many different parts as possible. For example, each ADS1254
may have its own “analog” processing front end.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
An attempt has been made to be consistent with the terminology used in this data sheet. In that regard, the definition
of each term is given as follows:
Analog-Input Differential Voltage—for an analog signal
that is fully differential, the voltage range can be compared
to that of an instrumentation amplifier. For example, if both
analog inputs of the ADS1254 are at 2.048V, the differential voltage is 0V. If one analog input is at 0V and the other
analog input is at 4.096V, then the differential voltage
magnitude is 4.096V. This is the case regardless of which
input is at 0V and which is at 4.096V. The digital-output
result, however, is quite different. The analog-input differential voltage is given by the following equation:
DECOUPLING
Good decoupling practices should be used for the ADS1254
and for all components in the design. All decoupling capacitors, and specifically the 0.1µF ceramic capacitors, should
be placed as close as possible to the pin being decoupled. A
1µF to 10µF capacitor, in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor, should be used to decouple Supply to ground.
SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendations for power supplies and grounding
will change depending on the requirements and specific
design of the overall system. Achieving 24 bits of noise
performance is a great deal more difficult than achieving 12
bits of noise performance. In general, a system can be
broken up into four different stages:
• Analog Processing
• Analog Portion of the ADS1254
• Digital Portion of the ADS1254
• Digital Processing
For the simplest system consisting of minimal analog signal
processing (basic filtering and Gain), a microcontroller, and
one clock source, one can achieve high resolution by powering all components by a common power supply. In addition, all components could share a common ground plane.
Thus, there would be no distinctions between “analog”
power and ground, and “digital” power and ground. The
layout should still include a power plane, a ground plane,
and careful decoupling. In a more extreme case, the design
+VIN – (–VIN)
A positive digital output is produced whenever the
analog-input differential voltage is positive, while a negative digital output is produced whenever the differential is
negative. For example, a positive full-scale output is produced when the converter is configured with a 4.096V
reference, and the analog-input differential is 4.096V. The
negative full-scale output is produced when the differential
voltage is –4.096V. In each case, the actual input voltages
must remain within the –0.3V to +AVDD range.
Actual Analog-Input Voltage—the voltage at any one
analog input relative to AGND.
Full-Scale Range (FSR)—as with most A/D Converters,
the full-scale range of the ADS1254 is defined as the “input”
that produces the positive full-scale digital output minus the
“input” that produces the negative full-scale digital output.
For example, when the converter is configured with a 4.096V
reference, the differential full-scale range is:
[4.096V (positive full scale) – (–4.096V) (negative full scale)] =
8.192V
Least Significant Bit (LSB) Weight—this is the theoretical amount of voltage that the differential voltage at the
analog input would have to change in order to observe a
change in the output data of one least significant bit. It is
computed as follows:

Conversion Cycle—as used here, a conversion cycle refers
to the time period between DOUT/DRDY pulses.
Effective Resolution (ER)—of the ADS1254 in a particular
configuration can be expressed in two different units:
bits rms (referenced to output) and µVrms (referenced to
input). Computed directly from the converter's output data,
each is a statistical calculation based on a given number of
results. Noise occurs randomly; the rms value represents a
statistical measure that is one standard deviation. The ER in
bits can be computed as follows:
Noise Reduction—for random noise, the ER can be improved with averaging. The result is the reduction in noise by
the factor √N, where N is the number of averages, as shown
in Table V. This can be used to achieve true 24-bit performance at a lower data rate. To achieve 24 bits of resolution,
more than 24 bits must be accumulated. A 36-bit accumulator
is required to achieve an ER of 24 bits. Table V uses V

4.096V, with the ADS1254 outputting data at 20kHz, a 4096
point average will take 204.8ms. The benefits of averaging
will be degraded if the input signal drifts during that 200ms.
