DESCRIPTION
The ADS1271 is a 24-bit, delta-sigma analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with a data rate up to 105kSPS. It offers
a unique combination of excellent DC accuracy and
outstanding
AC
performance.
The
high-order,
chopper-stabilized modulator achieves very low drift with
low in-band noise. The onboard decimation filter
suppresses modulator and signal out-of-band noise. The
ADS1271 provides a usable signal bandwidth up to 90%
of the Nyquist rate with less than 0.005dB of ripple.

D Test and Measurement
Traditionally, industrial delta-sigma ADCs offering good
drift performance use digital filters with large passband
droop. As a result, they have limited signal bandwidth and
are mostly suited for DC measurements. High-resolution
ADCs in audio applications offer larger usable bandwidths,
but the offset and drift specification are significantly
weaker than their industrial counterparts. The ADS1271
combines these converters, allowing high-precision
industrial measurement with excellent DC and AC
specifications ensured over an extended industrial
temperature range.
Three operating modes allow for optimization of speed,
resolution, and power. A selectable SPI or a frame-sync
serial interface provides for convenient interfacing to
microcontrollers or DSPs. All operations, including internal
offset calibration, are controlled directly by pins; there are
no registers to program.

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.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to
complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could
cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

SBAS306A − NOVEMBER 2004 − REVISED DECEMBER 2004
OVERVIEW
The ADS1271 is a 24-bit, delta-sigma ADC. It offers the
combination of outstanding DC accuracy and superior AC
performance. Figure 37 shows the block diagram for the
ADS1271. The ADS1271 converter is comprised of an
advanced, 6th-order, chopper-stabilized, delta-sigma
modulator followed by a low-ripple, linear phase FIR filter.
The modulator measures the differential input signal,
VIN = (AINP – AINN), against the differential reference,
VREF = (VREFP – VREFN). The digital filter receives the
modulator signal and provides a low-noise digital output.
To allow tradeoffs among speed, resolution, and power,
three modes of operation are supported on the ADS1271:
High-Speed, High-Resolution, and Low-Power. Table 1
summarizes the performance of each mode.
In High-Speed mode, the data rate is 105kSPS; in
High-Resolution mode, the SNR = 109dB; and in
Low-Power mode, the power dissipation is only 35mW.
The ADS1271 is configured by simply setting the
appropriate IO pins—there are no registers to program.
Data is retrieved over a serial interface that supports both
SPI and Frame-Sync formats. The ADS1271 has a
daisy-chainable output and the ability to synchronize
externally, so it can be used conveniently in multichannel
systems.

ANALOG INPUTS (AINP, AINN)
The ADS1271 measures the differential input signal
VIN = (AINP – AINN) against the differential reference
VREF = (VREFP – VREFN). The most positive measurable
differential input is +VREF, which produces the most
positive digital output code of 7FFFFFh. Likewise, the
most negative measurable differential input is −VREF,
which produces the most negative digital output code of
800000h.
While the ADS1271 measures the differential input signal,
the absolute input voltage is also important. This is the
voltage on either input (AINP or AINN) with respect to
AGND. The range for this voltage is:
−0.1V < (AINN or AINP) < AVDD +0.1V
If either input is taken below –0.1V or above (AVDD + 0.1),
ESD protection diodes on the inputs may turn on.
The ADS1271 uses switched-capacitor circuitry to
measure the input voltage. Internal capacitors are charged
by the inputs and then discharged. Figure 38 shows a
conceptual diagram of these circuits. Switch S2
represents the net effect of the modulator circuitry in
discharging the sampling capacitor; the actual
implementation is different. The timing for switches S1 and
S2 is shown in Figure 39. The sampling time (tSAMPLE) is
the inverse of modulator sampling frequency (fMOD) and is
a function of the mode, format, and frequency of CLK, as
shown in Table 2. When using the Frame-Sync format with
High-Resolution or Low-Power modes, the ratio between
fMOD and fCLK depends on the frame period that is set by
the FSYNC input.

circuitry be used to drive the ADS1271 inputs. See the
Application Information section for the recommended
circuits.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUTS (VREFP,
VREFN)
The voltage reference for the ADS1271 ADC is the
differential voltage between VREFP and VREFN:
VREF = (VREFP−VREFN). The reference inputs use a
structure similar to that of the analog inputs with the
equivalent circuitry on the reference inputs shown in
Figure 41. As with the analog inputs, the load presented by
the switched capacitor can be modeled with an effective
impedance, as shown in Figure 42.
VREFP
VREFN
−0.1V < (VREFP or VREFN) < AVDD + 0.1V
A high-quality reference voltage with the appropriate drive
strength is essential for achieving the best performance from
the ADS1271. Noise and drift on the reference degrade
overall system performance. See the Application
Information section for example reference circuits.

ESD diodes protect the reference inputs. To keep these
diodes from turning on, make sure the voltages on the
reference pins do not go below AGND by more than 0.1V,
and likewise do not exceed AVDD by 0.1V:
VREFN
Zeff = 4.2kΩ × (6.75MHz/f MOD)
Figure 42. Effective Reference Impedance
The ADS1271 requires an external clock signal to be
applied to the CLK input pin. As with any high-speed data
converter, a high-quality, low-jitter clock is essential for
optimum performance. Crystal clock oscillators are the
recommended clock source. Make sure to avoid excess
ringing on the clock input; keeping the clock trace as short
as possible using a 47Ω series resistor will help.
The ratio between the clock frequency and output data rate
is a function of the mode and format. Table 3 shows the
ratios when the SPI format is selected. Also included in this
table is the typical CLK frequency and the corresponding
data rate. When High-Speed mode is used, each
conversion
takes
256
CLK
periods.
When
High-Resolution or Low-Power modes are selected, the
conversions take 512 CLK periods.
Table 4 shows the ratios when the Frame-Sync format is
selected. When using the Frame-Sync format in either
High-Resolution or Low-Power mode, the fCLK/fDATA ratio
can be 256 or 512. The ADS1271 automatically detects
which ratio is being used. Using a ratio of 512 allows the
CLK frequency to be reduced by a factor of two while
maintaining the same data rate. The output data rate
scales with the clock frequency. See the Serial Interface
section for more details on the Frame-Sync operation.

SBAS306A − NOVEMBER 2004 − REVISED DECEMBER 2004
MODE SELECTION (MODE)
The ADS1271 supports three modes of operation:
High-Speed, High-Resolution, and Low-Power. The mode
selection is determined by the status of the digital input
MODE pin, as shown in Table 5. A high impedance, or
floating, condition allows the MODE pin to support a third
state. The ADS1271 constantly monitors the status of the
MODE pin during operation and responds to a change in
status after 12,288 CLK periods. When floating the MODE
pin, keep the total capacitance on the pin less than 100pF
and the resistive loading greater than 10MΩ to ensure
proper operation. Changing the mode clears the internal
offset calibration value. If onboard offset calibration is
being used, be sure to recalibrate after a mode change.
When daisy-chaining multiple ADS1271s together and
operating in High-Resolution mode (MODE pin floating), the
MODE pin of each device must be isolated from one another;
this ensures proper device operation. The MODE pins can be
tied together for High-Speed and Low-Power modes.
When using the SPI format, DRDY is held high after a
mode change occurs until settled (or valid) data is ready,
as shown in Figure 43.
In Frame-Sync format, the DOUT pin is held low after a
mode change occurs until settled data is ready, as shown
in Figure 43. Data can be read from the device to detect
when DOUT changes to logic 1, indicating valid data.
FORMAT SELECTION (FORMAT)
To help connect easily to either microcontrollers or DSPs,
the ADS1271 supports two formats for the serial interface:
an SPI-compatible interface and a Frame-Sync interface.
The format is selected by the FORMAT pin, as shown in
Table 6. It is recommended that the FORMAT pin be
directly tied to the appropriate voltage. If the status of this
pin changes, perform a Sync operation afterwards to
ensure proper operation.

SYNCHRONIZATION
The SYNC/PDWN pin has two functions. When pulsed, it
synchronizes the start of conversions and, if held low for
more than 219 CLK cycles (tSYN), places the ADS1271 in
Power-Down mode. See the Power-Down and Offset
Calibration section for more details.
The ADS1271 can be synchronized by taking
SYNC/PDWN low. This stops the conversion process and
resets the internal counters used by the digital filter. Return
SYNC/PDWN high on the rising edge of CLK to begin the
conversion process. Synchronization allows the
conversions to be aligned with an external event; for
example, the changing of an external multiplexer on the
analog inputs. It can also be used to synchronize the
conversions of multiple ADS1271s.
• • •
CLK
In the SPI format, DRDY goes high as soon as
SYNC/PDWN is taken low, as shown in Figure 44. After
SYNC/PDWN is returned high, DRDY stays high while the
digital filter is settling. Once valid data is ready for retrieval,
DRDY goes low.
In the Frame-Sync format, DOUT goes low as soon as
SYNC/PDWN is taken low, as shown in Figure 45. After
SYNC/PDWN is returned high, DOUT stays low while the
digital filter is settling. Once valid data is ready for retrieval,
DOUT begins to output valid data. The device detects the
state of the SYNC/PDWN pin on the falling edge. When
synchronizing multiple devices, set the SYNC/PDWN pin
high on the rising edge of SCLK to ensure all devices are
restarted on the same SCLK period. It is recommended to
leave FSYNC and SCLK running during a
synchronization.

POWER-DOWN AND OFFSET CALIBRATION
In addition to controlling synchronization, the
SYNC/PDWN pin also serves as the control for
Power-Down mode and offset calibration. To enter this
mode, hold the SYNC/PDWN pin low for at least 219 CLK
periods. While in Power-Down mode, both the analog and
digital circuitry are completely deactivated. The digital
inputs are internally disabled so that is not necessary to
shut down CLK and SCLK. To exit Power-Down mode,
return SYNC/PDWN high on the rising edge of CLK.
The ADS1271 uses a chopper-stabilized modulator to
provide inherently very low offset drift. To further minimize
offset, the ADS1271 automatically performs an offset
self-calibration when exiting Power-Down mode. When
power down completes, the offset self-calibration begins
with the inputs AINP and AINN automatically
disconnected from the signal source and internally shorted
together. There is no need to modify the signal source
applied to the analog inputs during this calibration.
• • •
CLK
It is critical for the reference voltage to be stable when
exiting Power-Down mode; otherwise, the calibration will
be corrupted.
The offset self-calibration only removes offset errors internal
to the device, not offset errors due to external sources.
NOTE: When an offset self-calibration is performed, the
resulting offset value will vary each time within the
peak-to-peak noise range of the converter. In High-Speed
mode, this is typically 178 LSBs.
The offset calibration value is cleared whenever the device
mode is changed (for example, from High-Speed mode to
High-Resolution mode).
When using the SPI format, DRDY will stay high after
exiting Power-Down mode while the digital filter settles, as
shown in Figure 46.
When using the Frame-Sync format, DOUT will stay low
after exiting Power-Down mode while the digital filter
settles, as shown in Figure 47.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The digital filter sets the overall frequency response. The filter
uses a multi-stage FIR topology to provide linear phase with
minimal passband ripple and high stopband attenuation. The
oversampling ratio of the digital filter (that is, the ratio of the
modulator sampling to the output data rate: fMOD/fDATA) is a
function of the selected mode, as shown in Table 7. fMOD is
CLK/2 or CLK/4, depending on the mode.

typically required in front of the ADS1271 inputs to limit
out-of-band noise. See Table 8 for more detail.

Table 9. Ideal Output Code versus Input Signal
PHASE RESPONSE
The ADS1271 incorporates a multiple stage, linear phase
digital filter. Linear phase filters exhibit constant delay time
versus input frequency (constant group delay). This
means the time delay from any instant of the input signal
to the same instant of the output data is constant and is
independent of input signal frequency. This behavior
results in essentially zero phase errors when analyzing
multi-tone signals.

SETTLING TIME
As with frequency and phase response, the digital filter
also determines settling time. Figure 56 shows the output
settling behavior after a step change on the analog inputs
normalized to conversion periods. The X axis is given in
units of conversion. Note that after the step change on the
input occurs, the output data changes very little prior to 30
conversion periods. The output data is fully settled after 76
conversion periods for High-Speed and Low-Power
modes, and 78 conversions for High-Resolution mode.

SERIAL INTERFACE
Data is retrieved from the ADS1271 using the serial
interface. To provide easy connection to either
microcontrollers or DSPs, two formats are available for the
interface: SPI and Frame-Sync. The FORMAT pin selects
the interface. The same pins are used for both interfaces
(SCLK, DRDY/FSYNC, DOUT and DIN), though their
respective functionality depends on the particular interface
selected.

DATA FORMAT
The ADS1271 outputs 24 bits of data in two’s complement
format.
A 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 9 summarizes the
ideal output codes for different input signals.
22
SCLK (SPI Format)
The serial clock (SCLK) features a Schmitt-triggered input
and shifts out data on DOUT on the falling edge. It also
shifts in data on the falling edge on DIN when this pin is
being used for daisy-chaining. The device shifts data out
on the falling edge and the user shifts this data in on the
rising edge. Even though the SCLK input has hysteresis,
it is recommended to keep SCLK as clean as possible to
prevent glitches from accidentally shifting the data. SCLK
should be held low after data retrieval. SCLK may be run
as fast as the CLK frequency. SCLK may be either in
free-running
or
stop-clock
operation
between
conversions. To maximize the converter performance, the
ratio of CLK to SCLK should be held to:
SCLK +
CLK (
N + 0, 1, 2AAA ).

www.ti.com
SBAS306A − NOVEMBER 2004 − REVISED DECEMBER 2004
DRDY/FSYNC
In the SPI format, this pin functions as the DRDY output.
It goes low when data is ready for retrieval and then returns
high on the rising edge of the first subsequent SCLK. If
data is not retrieved (that is, SCLK is held low), DRDY will
pulse high just before the next conversion data is ready, as
shown in Figure 57. The new data is loaded within the
ADS1271 one CLK cycle before DRDY goes low. All data
must be shifted out before this time to avoid being
overwritten.
1/f DATA
being used for daisy-chaining. Even though SCLK has
hysteresis, it is recommended to keep SCLK as clean as
possible to prevent glitches from accidentally shifting the
data. When using Frame-Sync format, SCLK must run
continuously. If it is shut down, the data readback will be
corrupted. Frame-Sync format requires a specific
relationship between SCLK and FSYNC, determined by
the mode shown in Table 10.

DOUT
The conversion data is shifted out on DOUT. The MSB
data is valid on DOUT when DRDY goes low. The
subsequent bits are shifted out with each falling edge of
SCLK. If daisy-chaining, the data shifted in using DIN will
appear on DOUT after all 24 bits have been shifted out.
DIN
This input is used when multiple ADS1271s are to be
daisy-chained together. The DOUT pin of the first device
connects to the DIN pin of the next, etc. It can be used with
either the SPI or Frame-Sync formats. Data is shifted in on
the falling edge of SCLK. When using only one ADS1271,
tie DIN low. See the Daisy-Chaining section for more
information.
FRAME-SYNC SERIAL INTERFACE
Frame-Sync format is similar to the interface often used on
audio ADCs. It operates in slave fashion—the user must
supply framing signal FSYNC (similar to the left/right clock
on stereo audio ADCs) and the serial clock SCLK (similar
to the bit clock on audio ADCs). The data is output MSB
first or left-justified. When using Frame-Sync format, the
CLK, FSYNC and SCLK inputs must be synchronized
together, as described in the following sub-sections.
SCLK (Frame-Sync Format)
The serial clock (SCLK) features a Schmitt-triggered input
and shifts out data on DOUT on the falling edge. It also
shifts in data on the falling edge on DIN when this pin is
DRDY/FSYNC
In Frame-Sync format, this pin is used as the FSYNC input.
The frame-sync input (FSYNC) sets the frame period. The
required FSYNC periods are shown in Table 11. For
High-Speed mode, the FSYNC period must be 256 CLK
periods. For both High-Resolution and Low-Power modes,
the FSYNC period can be either 512 or 256 CLK periods;
the ADS1271 will automatically detect which is being
used. If the FSYNC period is not the proper value, data
readback will be corrupted. It is recommended that
FSYNC be aligned with the falling edge of SCLK.

prior to FSYNC going high. The subsequent bits are

daisy-chaining, the data shifted in using DIN will appear on
DOUT after all 24 bits have been shifted out.

SBAS306A − NOVEMBER 2004 − REVISED DECEMBER 2004
DAISY-CHAINING
Multiple ADS1271s can be daisy-chained together to
simplify the serial interface connections. The DOUT of one
ADS1271 is connected to the DIN of the next ADS1271.
The first DOUT provides the output data and the last DIN
in the chain is connected to ground. A common SCLK is
used for all the devices in the daisy chain. Figure 58 shows
an example of a daisy chain with four ADS1271s.
Figure 59 shows the timing diagram when reading back in
the SPI format. It takes 96 SCLKs to shift out all the data.
In SPI format, it is recommended to tie all the
SYNC/PDWN
inputs
together,
which
forces
synchronization of all the devices. It is only necessary to
monitor the DRDY output of one device when multiple
devices are configured this way.
In Frame-Sync format, all of the devices are driven to
synchronization by the FSYNC and SCLK inputs. However,
to ensure synchronization to the same fCLK cycle, it is
recommended to tie all SYNC/PDWN inputs together.
The device clocks the SYNC/PDWN pin on the falling edge
of fCLK. To ensure exact synchronization, the SYNC/PDWN
pin should transition on the rising edge of fCLK
Since DOUT and DIN are both shifted on the falling edge
of SCLK, the propagation delay on DOUT creates the
setup time on DIN. Minimize the skew in SCLK to avoid
timing violations. See Mode Selection section for MODE
pin use when daisy-chaining.
ADS12714
ADS12713
The SPI format offers the most flexibility when
daisy-chaining because there is more freedom in setting
the SCLK frequency. The maximum number of ADS1271s
that can be daisy-chained is determined by dividing the
conversion time (1/fDATA) by the time needed to read back
all 24 bits (24 × 1/fSCLK).
Consider the case where:
fCLK = 27MHz
mode = High-Resolution (52,734SPS)
format = SPI
fSCLK = 27MHz
The maximum length of the daisy-chain is:
27MHz/(24 × 52,734SPS) = 21.3
Rounding down gives 21 as the maximum number of
ADS1271s that can be daisy-chained.
Daisy-chaining also works in Frame-Sync format, but the
maximum number of devices that can be daisy-chained is
less than when using the SPI format. The ratio between the
frame period and SCLK period is fixed, as shown in
Table 10. Using these values, the maximum number of
devices is two for High-Speed and Low-Power modes, and
four for High-Resolution mode.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
5.
Reference Inputs: It is recommended to use a
minimum 10µF tantalum with a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor directly across the reference inputs, REFP
and REFN. The reference input should be driven by a
low-impedance source. For best performance, the
reference should have less than 3µVRMS broadband
noise. For references with noise higher than this,
external reference filtering may be necessary.
6.
Analog Inputs: The analog input pins must be driven
differentially to achieve specified performance. A true
differential driver or transformer (AC applications) can
be used for this purpose. Route the analog inputs
tracks (AINP, AINN) as a pair from the buffer to the
converter using short, direct tracks and away from
digital tracks.
To obtain the specified performance from the ADS1271,
the following layout and component guidelines should be
considered.
1.
Power Supplies: The device requires two power
supplies for operation: DVDD and AVDD. The allowed
range for DVDD is 1.65V to 3.6V, and AVDD is
restricted to 4.75V to 5.25V. Best performance is
achieved when DVDD = 1.8V. For both supplies, use
a 10µF tantalum capacitor, bypassed with a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor, placed close to the device pins.
Alternatively, a single 10µF ceramic capacitor can be
used. The supplies should be relatively free of noise
and should not be shared with devices that produce
voltage spikes (such as relays, LED display drivers,
etc.). If a switching power supply source is used, the
voltage ripple should be low (< 2mV). The power
supplies may be sequenced in any order.
2.
Ground Plane: A single ground plane connecting both
AGND and DGND pins can be used. If separate digital
and analog grounds are used, connect the grounds
together at the converter.
3.
Digital Inputs: It is recommended to source terminate
the digital inputs to the device with 50Ω series
resistors. The resistors should be placed close to the
driving end of digital source (oscillator, logic gates,
DSP, etc.) This helps to reduce ringing on the digital
lines, which may lead to degraded ADC performance.
4.
Analog/Digital Circuits: Place analog circuitry (input
buffer, reference) and associated tracks together,
keeping them away from digital circuitry (DSP,
microcontroller, logic). Avoid crossing digital tracks
across analog tracks to reduce noise coupling and
crosstalk.
A 1nF to 10nF capacitor should be used directly
across the analog input pins, AINP and AINN. A low-k
dielectric (such as COG or film type) should be used to
maintain low THD. Capacitors from each analog input
to ground should be used. They should be no larger
than 1/10 the size of the difference capacitor (typically
100pF) to preserve the AC common-mode
performance.
7.
Component Placement: Place the power supply,
analog input, and reference input bypass capacitors
as close as possible to the device pins. This is
particularly important for the small-value ceramic
capacitors.
Surface-mount
components
are
recommended to avoid the higher inductance of
leaded components.
Figure 60 to Figure 62 illustrate basic connections and
interfaces that can be used with the ADS1271.
