●
●
●
The ADS1217 is a precision, wide dynamic range, deltasigma, Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter with 24-bit resolution 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.

FULL-SCALE INPUT: ±2VREF
PGA FROM 1 TO 128
22 BITS EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION
(PGA = 1), 19 BITS (PGA = 128)
SINGLE CYCLE SETTLING MODE
PROGRAMMABLE DATA OUTPUT RATES
UP TO 1kHz
ON-CHIP 1.25V/2.5V REFERENCE
ON-CHIP CALIBRATION
SPI COMPATIBLE
POWER SUPPLY: 2.7V to 5.25V
< 1mW POWER CONSUMPTION, VDD = 3V
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.
Burnout current sources are provided that allow for the
detection of an open or shorted sensor. An 8-bit Digital-toAnalog Converter (DAC) 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 2nd-order,
delta-sigma modulator and programmable sinc filter. The
reference input is differential and can be used for ratiometric
measurements. The onboard current DACs operate independently with the maximum current set by an external resistor.

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.
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.

OVERVIEW
BURNOUT CURRENT SOURCES
INPUT MULTIPLEXER
The input multiplexer (mux) provides for any combination of
differential inputs to be selected on any of the input channels,
as shown in Figure 1. If channel 1 is selected as the positive
differential input channel, any other channel can be selected
as the negative differential input channel. With this method,
it is possible to have up to eight fully differential input
channels.
In addition, current sources are supplied that will source or
sink current to detect open or short circuits on the pins.
AIN0
AIN1
When the Burnout bit is set in the ACR configuration register,
two current sources are enabled. The current source on the
positive input channel sources approximately 2µA of current.
The current source on the negative input channel sinks approximately 2µA. This allows for the detection of an open circuit
(full-scale reading) or short circuit (0V differential reading) on
the selected input differential pair.
INPUT BUFFER
The input impedance of the ADS1217 without the buffer
is 10MΩ/PGA. With the buffer enabled, the input voltage range
is reduced and the analog power-supply current is higher. The
buffer is controlled by ANDing the state of the buffer pin with
the state of the BUFFER bit in the ACR register. See Application Report Input Currents for High-Resolution ADCs
(SBAA090) for more information.
IDAC1 AND IDAC2
AVDD
The ADS1217 has two 8-bit current output DACs that can
be controlled independently. The output current is set with
RDAC, the range select bits in the ACR register, and the
8-bit digital value in the IDAC register. The output
current = (VREF/8RDAC) (2RANGE–1) (DAC CODE). With
VREFOUT = 2.5V and RDAC = 150kΩ, the full-scale output can
be selected to be 0.5, 1, or 2mA. The compliance voltage
range is AGND to within 1V of AV DD. When the internal
voltage reference of the ADS1217 is used, it is the reference for the IDAC. An external reference may be used for
the IDACs by disabling the internal reference and tying the
external reference input to the VREFOUT pin.

AGND
The PGA can be set to gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128.
Using the PGA can improve the effective resolution of the A/D
converter. For instance, with a PGA of 1 on a 10V full-scale
range, the A/D converter can resolve to 2µV. With a PGA of
128 on a 80mV full-scale range, the A/D converter can resolve
to 150nV.

FIGURE 1. Input Multiplexer Configuration.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
An on-chip diode provides temperature sensing capability.
When the configuration register for the input MUX is set to all
1s, the diode is connected to the input of the A/D converter.
All other channels are open. The anode of the diode is
connected to the positive input of the A/D converter, and the
cathode of the diode is connected to negative input of the
A/D converter. The output of IDAC1 is connected to the
anode to bias the diode and the cathode of the diode is also
connected to ground to complete the circuit.
In this mode, the output of IDAC1 is also connected to the
output pin, so some current may flow into an external load
from IDAC1, rather than the diode. See Application Report
Measuring Temperature with the ADS1216, ADS1217, or
ADS1218 (SBAA073) for more information.
The input to the PGA can be shifted by half the full-scale input
range of the PGA by using the ODAC register. The ODAC
(Offset DAC) register is an 8-bit value; the MSB is the sign and
the seven LSBs provide the magnitude of the offset. Using the
ODAC does not reduce the performance of the A/D converter.
See Application Report The Offset DAC (SBAA077) for more
information.
MODULATOR
The modulator is a single-loop, 2nd-order system. The modulator runs at a clock speed (fMOD) that is derived from the
external clock (fOSC). The frequency division is determined by
the SPEED bit in the setup register.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT
The ADS1217 uses a differential voltage reference input.
The input signal is measured against the differential voltage
VREF ≡ (VREF+) – (VREF–). For AVDD = 5V, VREF is typically
2.5V. For AVDD = 3V, VREF is typically 1.25V. Due to the
sampling nature of the modulator, the reference input current
increases with higher modulator clock frequency (fMOD) and
higher PGA settings.
ON-CHIP VOLTAGE REFERENCE
A selectable voltage reference (1.25V or 2.5V) is available for
supplying the voltage reference input. To use, connect VREF–
to AGND and VREF+ to VREFOUT. The enabling and voltage
selection are controlled through bits REF EN and REF HI in
the setup register. The 2.5V reference requires AVDD = 5V.
When using the on-chip voltage reference, the VREFOUT pin
should be bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor to AGND.
VRCAP PIN
This pin provides a bypass cap for noise filtering on internal
VREF circuitry only. As this is a sensitive pin, place the
capacitor as close as possible and avoid any resistive loading. The recommended capacitor is a 0.001µF ceramic cap.
If an external VREF is used, this pin can be left unconnected.
CLOCK GENERATOR
The clock source for the ADS1217 can be provided from a
crystal, oscillator, or external clock. When the clock source is
a crystal, external capacitors must be provided to ensure startup and a stable clock frequency; see Figure 2 and Table I.
XIN
C1
complete both an offset and gain calibration. Self-gain calibration is optimized for PGA gains less than 8. When using
higher gains, system gain calibration is recommended.
For system calibration, the appropriate signal must be
applied to the inputs. The system offset command requires a
“zero” differential input signal. It then computes an offset that
will nullify offset in the system. The system gain command
requires a positive “full-scale” differential input signal. It then
computes a value to nullify gain errors in the system. Each of
these calibrations will take seven tDATA periods to complete.
Calibration must be performed after power on, a change in
decimation ratio, or a change of the PGA. For operation with
a reference voltage greater than (AVDD – 1.5V), the buffer
must also be turned off during calibration.
At the completion of calibration, the DRDY signal goes LOW,
which indicates the calibration is finished and valid data is
available. See Application Report Calibration Routine and
Register Value Generation for the ADS121x Series (SBAA099)
for more information.
DIGITAL FILTER
The Digital Filter can use either the fast settling, sinc2, or
sinc3 filter, as shown in Figure 3. In addition, the Auto mode
changes the sinc filter after the input channel or PGA is
changed. When switching to a new channel, it will use the
fast settling filter; It will then use the sinc2 followed by the
sinc3 filter. This combines the low-noise advantage of the
sinc3 filter with the quick response of the fast settling time
filter. See Figure 4 for the frequency response of each filter.
When using the fast setting filter, select a decimation value
set by the DEC0 and M/DEC1 registers that is evenly
divisible by four for the best gain accuracy. For example,
choose 260 rather than 261.

CALIBRATION
The offset and gain errors in the ADS1217, or the complete
system, can be reduced with calibration. Internal calibration
of the ADS1217 is called self calibration. This is handled with
three commands. One command does both offset and gain
calibration. There is also a gain calibration command and an
offset calibration command. Each calibration process takes
seven tDATA periods to complete. It takes 14 tDATA periods to

DIGITAL I/O INTERFACE
The ADS1217 has eight pins dedicated for digital I/O. The
default power-up condition for the digital I/O pins are as inputs.
All of the digital I/O pins are individually configurable as inputs
or outputs. They are configured through the DIR control register. The DIR register defines whether the pin is an input or
output, and the DIO register defines the state of the digital
output. When the digital I/O are configured as inputs, DIO is
used to read the state of the pin. If the digital I/O are not used,
either 1) configure as outputs; or, 2) leave as inputs and tie to
ground, this prevents excess power dissipation.
SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows a controller to
communicate synchronously with the ADS1217. The ADS1217
operates in slave only mode.
back with no delay in SCLKs or toggling of CS . Make sure
to avoid glitches on SCLK as they can cause extra shifting of
the data.
Polarity (POL)
The serial clock polarity is specified by the POL input. When
SCLK is active HIGH, set POL HIGH. When SCLK is active
LOW, set POL LOW.
DATA READY
The DRDY output is used as a status signal to indicate when
data is ready to be read from the ADS1217. DRDY goes LOW
when new data is available. It is reset HIGH when a read
operation from the data register is complete. It also goes HIGH
prior to the updating of the output register to indicate when not
to read from the device to ensure that a data read is not
attempted while the register is being updated.
Chip Select (CS )
The chip select (CS ) input of the ADS1217 must be externally asserted before a master device can exchange data
with the ADS1217. CS must be LOW for the duration of the
transaction. CS can be tied low.
Serial Clock (SCLK)
SCLK, a Schmitt Trigger input, clocks data transfer on the DIN
input and DOUT output. When transferring data to or from the
ADS1217, multiple bits of data may be transferred back-to-
DSYNC OPERATION
DSYNC is used to provide for synchronization of the A/D
conversion with an external event. Synchronization can be
achieved either through the DSYNC pin or the DSYNC
command. When the DSYNC pin is used, the filter counter is
reset on the falling edge of DSYNC. The modulator is held in
reset until DSYNC is taken HIGH. Synchronization occurs on
the next rising edge of the system clock after DSYNC is
taken HIGH.
ADS1217

www.ti.com
SBAS260B
When the DSYNC command is sent, the filter counter is reset
on the edge of the last SCLK on the DSYNC command. The
modulator is held in reset until the next edge of SCLK is
detected. Synchronization occurs on the next rising edge of
the system clock after the first SCLK after the DSYNC
command. After a DSYNC operation, DRDY is held HIGH
until valid data is ready.

RESET
There are three methods to reset the ADS1217: the RESET
input, the RESET command, and a special SCLK input pattern. When using the RESET input, take it LOW to force a
reset. Make sure to follow the minimum pulse width timing
specifications before taking the RESET input back high. Also,
avoid glitches on the RESET input as these may cause
accidental resets. The RESET command takes effect after all
8 bits have been shifted into DIN. Afterwards, the reset
releases automatically. The ADS1217 can also be reset with
a special pattern on SCLK, see the Timing Diagram. Reset
occurs on the falling edge of the last SCLK edge in the pattern
(for POL = 0). Afterwards, the reset releases automatically.

POWER-UP—SUPPLY VOLTAGE RAMP RATE
The power-on reset circuitry was designed to accommodate
digital supply ramp rates as slow as 1V/10ms. To ensure
proper operation, the power supply should ramp monotonically.

MEMORY
Two types of memory are used on the ADS1217: registers
and RAM. 16 registers directly control the various functions
(PGA, DAC value, Decimation Ratio, etc.) and can be directly
read or written. Collectively, the registers contain all the
information needed to configure the part, such as data
format, mux settings, calibration settings, decimation ratio,
etc. Additional registers, such as output data, are accessed
through dedicated instructions.
REGISTER BANK TOPOLOGY
The operation of the device is set up through individual
registers. The set of the 16 registers required to configure the
device is referred to as a Register Bank, as shown in Figure 5.
Reads and Writes to Registers and RAM occur on a byte
basis. However, copies between registers and RAM occurs
on a bank basis. The RAM is independent of the Registers;
that is, the RAM can be used as general-purpose RAM.
The ADS1217 supports any combination of eight analog
inputs. With this flexibility, the device could easily support
eight unique configurations—one per input channel. In order
to facilitate this type of usage, eight separate register banks
are available. Therefore, each configuration could be written
once and recalled as needed without having to serially
retransmit all the configuration data. Checksum commands
are also included, which can be used to verify the integrity of
RAM.
FIGURE 5. Memory Organization.
The RAM provides eight “banks”, with a bank consisting of
16 bytes. The total size of the RAM is 128 bytes. Copies
between the registers and RAM are performed on a bank
basis. Also, the RAM can be directly read or written through
the serial interface on power-up. The banks allow separate
storage of settings for each input.
The RAM address space is linear, therefore accessing RAM
is done using an auto-incrementing pointer. Access to RAM
in the entire memory map can be done consecutively without having to address each bank individually. For example,
if you were currently accessing bank 0 at offset 0FH (the last
location of bank 0), the next access would be bank 1 and
offset 00H. Any access after bank 7 and offset 0FH will wrap
around to bank 0 and Offset 00H.
Although the Register Bank memory is linear, the concept of
addressing the device can also be thought of in terms of
bank and offset addressing. Looking at linear and bank
addressing syntax, we have the following comparison: in the
linear memory map, the address 14H is equivalent to bank
1 and offset 04H. Simply stated, the most significant four bits
represent the bank, and the least significant four bits represent the offset. The offset is equivalent to the register
address for that bank of memory.

Analog Input Voltage—the voltage at any one analog input
relative to AGND.

 PGA 
Conversion Cycle—the term conversion cycle usually refers
to a discrete A/D conversion operation, such as that performed by a successive approximation converter. As used
here, a conversion cycle refers to the tDATA time period.
However, each digital output is actually based on the modulator results from several tDATA time periods.

Fast Settling
1 tDATA Time Period
Sinc2
2 tDATA Time Period

3 tDATA Time Period
Data Rate—the rate at which conversions are completed.
See definition for fDATA.
Decimation Ratio—defines the ratio between the output of
the modulator and the output Data Rate. Valid values for the
Decimation Ratio are from 20 to 2047. Larger Decimation
Ratios will have lower noise.
The data from the A/D converter is output as codes, which
then can be easily converted to other units, such as ppm or
volts. The equations and table below show the relationship
between bits or codes, ppm, and volts.

ADS1217 is running. This depends on the SPEED bit as
shown below:

fOSC /128
fOSC /256
fOSC—the frequency of the crystal input signal at the XIN input
of the ADS1217.
fSAMP—the frequency, or switching speed, of the input sampling capacitor. The value is given by one of the following
equations:
PGA SETTING
Effective Resolution—the effective resolution of the
ADS1217 in a particular configuration can be expressed in
two different units: bits rms (referenced to output) and Vrms
(referenced to input). Computed directly from the converter’s
output data, each is a statistical calculation. The conversion
from one to the other is shown below.
Effective number of bits (ENOB) or effective resolution is
commonly used to define the usable resolution of the
A/D converter. It is calculated from empirical data taken
directly from the device. It is typically determined by applying
a fixed known signal source to the analog input and computing the standard deviation of the data sample set. The rms
noise defines the ±σ interval about the sample mean.

Analog Input Differential Voltage—given by the following
equation: (AIN+) – (AIN–). Thus, 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, when the converter is configured with a 2.5V
reference and placed in a gain setting of 1, the positive
full-scale output is produced when the analog input differential is 2 • 2.5V. The negative full-scale output is produced
when the differential is 2 • (–2.5V). In each case, the actual
input voltages must remain within the AGND to AVDD range.

Filter Selection—the ADS1217 uses a (sinx /x) filter or sinc
filter. There are three different sinc filters that can be selected. A fast settling filter will settle in one tDATA cycle. The
sinc2 filter will settle in two cycles and have lower noise. The
sinc3 will achieve lowest noise and higher number of effective
bits, but requires three cycles to settle. The ADS1217 will
operate with any one of these filters, or it can operate in an
auto mode, where it will first select the fast settling filter after
a new channel is selected and will then switch to sinc2 for one
reading, followed by sinc3 from then on.

Full-Scale Range (FSR)—as with most A/D converters, the
full-scale range of the ADS1217 is defined as the “input”,
which produces the positive full-scale digital output minus the
“input”, which produces the negative full-scale digital output.
The full-scale range changes with gain setting, see Table V.
For example, when the converter is configured with a 2.5V
reference and is placed in a gain setting of 2, the full-scale
range is: 2 • [1.25V (positive full-scale) minus –1.25V (negative full-scale)] = 5V.
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:
LSB Weight =
Full − Scale Range
2N
where N is the number of bits in the digital output.
tDATA—the inverse of fDATA, or the period between each data
output.
