ADS131E08S Eight-Channel, 24-Bit, Analog Front-End with Fast Power-Up Time
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The ADS131E08S is a multichannel, simultaneous
sampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ), analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with built-in programmable gain
amplifiers (PGAs), an internal reference, and an
internal oscillator. The ADC wide dynamic range,
scalable data rates, and internal fault detect monitors
make the ADS131E08S very attractive in industrial
power
monitoring,
control,
and
protection
applications. Fast power-up time allows data to be
available within 3 ms of power being applied to the
device for line-powered power applications. True
high-impedance inputs enable the ADS131E08S to
directly interface with a resistor-divider network or a
voltage transformer to measure line voltage, or a
current transformer or Rogowski coil to measure line
current. With high integration levels and exceptional
performance, the ADS131E08S enables the creation
of scalable industrial power systems at a significantly
reduced size, power, and overall cost.
Power-Up Time: 3 ms
Eight Differential Simultaneous Sampling Inputs

The ADS131E08S has an individual input multiplexer
per channel that can be independently connected to
the internally-generated signals for test, temperature,
and fault detection. Fault detection can be
implemented internal to the device, using the
integrated
comparators
with
digital-to-analog
converter (DAC)-controlled trigger levels. The
ADS131E08S can operate at data rates as high as
64 kSPS.

8 Parameter Measurement Information
8.1 Noise Measurements
Adjust the data rate and PGA gain to optimize the ADS131E08S noise performance. When averaging is
increased by reducing the data rate, noise drops correspondingly. Increasing the PGA gain reduces the inputreferred noise, which is particularly useful when measuring low-level signals. Table 1 summarizes the
ADS131E08S noise performance with a 3-V analog power supply. Table 2 summarizes the ADS131E08S noise
performance with a 5-V analog power supply. Data are representative of typical noise performance at TA = 25°C.
Data shown are the result of averaging the readings from multiple devices and are measured with the inputs
shorted together. A minimum of 1000 consecutive readings are used to calculate the RMS noise for each
reading. For the two highest data rates, noise is limited by the ADC quantization noise and does not have a
Gaussian distribution. Table 1 and Table 2 show measurements taken with an internal reference. Data are
representative of the ADS131E08S noise performance shown in both effective number of bits (ENOB) and
dynamic range when using a low-noise external reference (such as the REF5025). ENOB data in Table 1 and
Table 2 are calculated using Equation 1 and dynamic range data in Table 1 and Table 2 are calculated using
Equation 2.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The ADS131E08S is a low-power, 8-channel, simultaneously-sampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ), analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with an integrated programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and short start-up time. The analog
device performance across a scalable data rate makes the device well-suited for smart-grid and other industrial
power monitor, control, and protection applications.
The ADS131E08S has a programmable multiplexer that allows for various internal monitoring signal
measurements including temperature, supply, and input short for device noise testing. The PGA gain can be
chosen from one of five settings: 1, 2, 4, 8, or 12. The ADCs in the device offer data rates of 1 kSPS, 2 kSPS,
4 kSPS, 8 kSPS, 16 kSPS, 32 kSPS, and 64 kSPS. The device communicates using a serial peripheral interface
(SPI)-compatible interface. The device provides four general-purpose I/O (GPIO) pins for general use. Use
multiple devices to easily add channels to the system and synchronize them with the START pins.
Program the internal reference to either 2.4 V or 4 V. The internal oscillator generates a 2.048-MHz clock. Use
the integrated comparators, with programmable trigger-points, for input overrange or underrange detection. A
detailed diagram of the ADS131E08S is provided in the Functional Block Diagram section.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Filter
An RC filter at the input functions as an EMI filter on all channels. The –3-dB filter bandwidth is approximately
3 MHz.
9.3.2 Input Multiplexer
The ADS131E08S input multiplexers are very flexible and provide many configurable signal-switching options.
Figure 17 shows a diagram of the multiplexer on a single channel of the device. INxP and INxN are separate for
each of the eight blocks. This flexibility allows for significant device and sub-system diagnostics, calibration, and
configuration. Switch settings for each channel are selected by writing the appropriate values to the CHnSET
registers (see the CHnSET registers in the Register Map section for details). The output of each multiplexer is
connected to the individual channel PGA.

Feature Description (continued)
9.3.2.1 Device Noise Measurements
Setting CHnSET[2:0] = 001 sets the common-mode voltage of [(V(VREFP) + V(VREFN)) / 2] to both channel inputs.
Use this setting to test inherent device noise in the user system.
9.3.2.2 Test Signals (TestP and TestN)
Setting CHnSET[2:0] = 101 provides internally-generated test signals for use in sub-system verification at powerup. The test signals are controlled through register settings (see the CONFIG2: Configuration Register 2 section
for details). TEST_AMP controls the signal amplitude and TEST_FREQ controls the switching frequency of the
test signal. The test signals are multiplexed and transmitted out of the device at the TESTP and TESTN pins.
The INT_TEST register bit (in the CONFIG2: Configuration Register 2 section) deactivates the internal test
signals so that the test signal can be driven externally. This feature allows the test or calibration of multiple
devices with the same signal.
9.3.2.3 Temperature Sensor (TempP, TempN)
Setting CHnSET[2:0] = 100 sets the channel input to the temperature sensor. This sensor uses two internal
diodes with one diode having a current density 16 times that of the other, as shown in Figure 18. The difference
in diode current densities yields a difference in voltage that is proportional to absolute temperature.
Figure 18. Temperature Sensor Implementation
The internal device temperature tracks the PCB temperature closely because of the low thermal resistance of the
package to the PCB. Self-heating of the ADS131E08S causes a higher reading than the temperature of the
surrounding PCB. Setting the channel gain to 1 is recommended when the temperature measurement is taken.
The scale factor of Equation 3 converts the temperature reading to °C. Before using this equation, the
temperature reading code must first be scaled to μV.

9.3.2.4 Power-Supply Measurements (MVDDP, MVDDN)
Setting CHnSET[2:0] = 011 sets the channel inputs to different device supply voltages. For channels 1, 2, 5, 6, 7,
and 8 (MVDDP – MVDDN) is [0.5 × (AVDD – AVSS)]; for channels 3 and 4 (MVDDP – MVDDN) is
DVDD / 4. Set the gain to 1 to avoid saturating the PGA when measuring power supplies.

9.3.3 Analog Input
The analog inputs to the device connect directly to an integrated low-noise, low-drift, high input impedance,
programmable gain amplifier. The amplifier is located following the individual channel multiplexer.
The ADS131E08S analog inputs are fully differential. The differential input voltage (VINxP – VINxN) can span from
–VREF / gain to VREF / gain. See the Data Format section for an explanation of the correlation between the analog
input and digital codes. There are two general methods of driving the ADS131E08S analog inputs: pseudodifferential or fully-differential, as shown in Figure 19, Figure 20, and Figure 21.

Hold the INxN pin at a common voltage, preferably at mid supply, to configure the fully differential input for a
pseudo-differential signal. Swing the INxP pin around the common voltage –VREF / gain to VREF / gain and remain
within the absolute maximum specifications. Verify that the differential signal at the minimum and maximum
points meets the common-mode input specification discussed in the Input Common-Mode Range section.
Configure the signals at INxP and INxN to be 180° out-of-phase centered around a common voltage to use a
fully-differential input method. Both the INxP and INxN inputs swing from the common voltage + ½ VREF / gain to
the common voltage – ½ VREF / gain. The differential voltage at the maximum and minimum points is equal to
–VREF / gain to VREF / gain. Use the ADS131E08S in a differential configuration to maximize the dynamic range
of the data converter. For optimal performance, the common voltage is recommended to be set at the midpoint of
the analog supplies [(AVDD + AVSS) / 2].
If any of the analog input channels are not used, then power-down these pins using register bits to conserve
power. See the SPI Command Definitions section for more information on how to power-down individual
channels. Tie any unused or powered down analog input pins directly to AVDD.

9.3.4 PGA Settings and Input Range
Each channel has its own configurable programmable gain amplifier (PGA) following its multiplexer. The PGA is
designed using two operational amplifiers in a differential configuration, as shown in Figure 22. Set the gain to
one of five settings (1, 2, 4, 8, and 12) using the CHnSET registers for each individual channel (see the CHnSET
registers in the Register Map section for details). The ADS131E08S has CMOS inputs and therefore has
negligible current noise. Table 3 shows the typical small-signal bandwidth values for various gain settings.

The PGA resistor string that implements the gain has 120 kΩ of resistance for a gain of 2. This resistance
provides a current path across the PGA outputs in the presence of a differential input signal. This current is in
addition to the quiescent current specified for the device in the presence of a differential signal at the input.

9.3.4.1 Input Common-Mode Range
The usable input common-mode range of the analog front-end depends on various parameters, including the
maximum differential input signal, supply voltage, and PGA gain. The common-mode range, VCM, is defined in
Equation 4:
AVDD - 0.3 V -
Gain ´ VMAX_DIFF
2
> VCM > AVSS + 0.3 V +
Gain ´ VMAX_DIFF
2
where:
•
•
VMAX_DIFF = maximum differential signal at the PGA input and
VCM = common-mode voltage

For example:
If AVDD – AVSS = 3.3 V, gain = 2, and VMAX_DIFF = 1000 mV,
Then 1.3 V < VCM < 2.0 V
9.3.5 ΔΣ Modulator
Power Spectral Density (dB)
Each ADS131E08S channel has its own delta-sigma (ΔΣ) ADC. The ΔΣ converters use second-order modulators
optimized for low-power applications. The modulator samples the input signal at the modulator rate of (fMOD =
fCLK / 2). As with any ΔΣ modulator, the ADS131E08S noise is shaped until fMOD / 2, as shown in Figure 23.

9.3.6 Clock
The ADS131E08S provides two different device clocking methods: internal and external. Internal clocking using
the internal oscillator is ideally-suited for non-synchronized, low-power systems. The internal oscillator is trimmed
for accuracy at room temperature. The accuracy of the internal oscillator varies over the specified temperature
range; see the Electrical Characteristics table for details. External clocking is recommended when synchronizing
multiple ADS131E08S devices or when synchronizing to an external event because the internal oscillator clock
performance can vary over temperature. Clock selection is controlled by the CLKSEL pin and the CLK_EN
register bit. Provide the external clock any time after the analog and digital supplies are present.

The CLKSEL pin selects either the internal oscillator or external clock. The CLK_EN bit in the CONFIG1 register
enables and disables the oscillator clock to be output on the CLK pin. A truth table for the CLKSEL pin and the
CLK_EN bit is shown in Table 4. The CLK_EN bit is useful when multiple devices are used in a daisy-chain
configuration. During power-down, the external clock is recommended to be shut down to save power.

9.3.7 Digital Decimation Filter
The digital filter receives the modulator output bit stream and decimates the data stream. The decimation ratio
determines the number of samples taken to create the output data word, and is set by the modulator rate divided
by the data rate (fMOD / fDR). By adjusting the decimation ratio, a tradeoff can be made between resolution and
data rate: higher decimation allows for higher resolution (thus creating lower data rates) and lower decimation
decreases resolution but enables wider bandwidths with higher data rates. Higher data rates are typically used in
power applications that implement software re-sampling techniques to help with channel-to-channel phase
adjustment for voltage and current.
The digital filter on each channel consists of a third-order sinc filter. An input step change takes three conversion
cycles for the filter to settle. Adjust the decimation ratio of the sinc3 filters using the DR[2:0] bits in the CONFIG1
register (see the Register Map section for details). The data rate setting is a global setting that sets all channels
to the same data rate.
The sinc filter is a variable decimation rate, third-order, low-pass filter. Data are supplied to this section of the
filter from the modulator at the rate of fMOD. The sinc3 filter attenuates the high-frequency modulator noise, then
decimates the data stream into parallel data. The decimation rate affects the overall converter data rate.
Equation 5 shows the scaled sinc3 filter Z-domain transfer function.

The sinc filter has notches (or zeroes) that occur at the output data rate and multiples thereof. At these
frequencies, the filter has infinite attenuation. Figure 24 illustrates the sinc filter frequency response and
Figure 25 illustrates the sinc filter roll-off. Figure 26 and Figure 27 illustrate the filter transfer function until fMOD / 2
and fMOD / 16, respectively, at different data rates. Figure 28 illustrates the transfer function extended until 4 fMOD.
Figure 28 illustrates that the ADS131E08S passband repeats itself at every fMOD. Note that the digital filter
response and filter notches are proportional to the master clock frequency.

9.3.8 Voltage Reference
The ADS131E08S uses an internal voltage reference and does not provide the option of connecting an external
reference voltage. Figure 29 shows a simplified block diagram of the internal reference. There are two internal
reference voltage options generated with respect to AVSS: 2.4 V and 4 V. Connect VREFN to AVSS.

For VREF = 4 V: R1 = 10.5 kΩ, R2 = 15 kΩ, and R3 = 35 kΩ.
Figure 29. Internal Reference Implementation
The external band-limiting capacitors, connected to VCAP1 and between the VREFP and VREFN nodes,
determine the amount of reference noise contribution. Although limiting the bandwidth through larger capacitor
sizes helps keep noise at a minimum, using large capacitors increases the power-up time of the ADC. Using the
capacitor values shown in Figure 29 is recommended to optimize the power-up time of the device.
ADC Output (Code)
The internal band gap (VCAP1 pin) used to create the internal reference voltage requires a capacitor to filter
noise. As a result of limited drive strength, the size of the capacitor on VCAP1 sets the power-up time of the
device. Figure 30 shows the accuracy of the first 200 conversion samples with different capacitors on VCAP1
following power-up. Larger capacitors on VCAP1 help filter broadband noise but add to the power-up time. To
generate the plot of Figure 30, the ADC input voltage is fixed at 1 V during power-up and the ADC output
conversion result is tracked to show the VCAP1 power-up time.

Use the VREF_4V bit in the CONFIG2 register to set the internal reference to either 4 V or 2.4 V. By default, the
reference powers up as 4 V for a 5-V system (or ±2.5-V supplies). In a 3-V system (or ±1.5-V supplies), configure
the internal reference to 2.4 V immediately following power-up. No damage occurs to the device when the
ADS131E08S is set to a 4-V reference when using a 3-V supply system. The internal reference saturates until
programmed to 2.4 V.

9.3.9 Input Out-of-Range Detection
The ADS131E08S has integrated comparators to detect out-of-range conditions on the input signals. The basic
principle is to compare the input voltage against a threshold voltage set by a 3-bit digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) based off the analog power supply. The comparator trigger threshold level is set by the COMP_TH[2:0]
bits in the FAULT register.
If the ADS131E08S is powered from a ±2.5-V supply and COMP_TH[2:0] = 000 (95% and 5%), the high-side
trigger threshold is set at 2.25 V [equal to AVSS + (AVDD – AVSS) × 95%] and the low-side threshold is set at
–2.25 V [equal to AVSS + (AVDD – AVSS) × 5%]. The threshold calculation formula applies to unipolar as well
as to bipolar supplies.
A fault condition can be detected by setting the appropriate threshold level using the COMP_TH[2:0] bits. To
determine which of the inputs is out of range, read the FAULT_STATP and FAULT_STATN registers individually
or read the FAULT_STATx bits as part of the output data stream; see the Data Output (DOUT) section.
9.3.10 General-Purpose Digital I/O (GPIO)
The ADS131E08S has a total of four general-purpose digital I/O (GPIO) pins available. Configure the digital I/O
pins as either inputs or outputs through the GPIOC bits. The GPIOD bits in the GPIO register indicate the level of
the pins. The GPIO logic high voltage level is set by the voltage level of DVDD. When reading the GPIOD bits,
the data returned are the logic level of the pins, whether they are programmed as inputs or outputs. When the
GPIO pin is configured as an input, a write to the corresponding GPIOD bit has no effect. When configured as an
output, a write to the GPIOD bit sets the output level.
If configured as inputs, the GPIO pins must be driven to a defined state. The GPIO pins are set as inputs after
power-up or after a reset. Figure 31 shows the GPIO pin structure. Connect unused GPIO pins directly to DGND
through 10-kΩ resistors.

9.4 Device Functional Modes
9.4.1 Power-Down
Power-down all on-chip circuitry by pulling the PWDN pin low. To exit power-down mode, take the PWDN pin
high. The internal oscillator and reference require time to come out of power-down mode. During power-down,
the external clock is recommended to be shut down to save power.
9.4.2 Reset
There are two methods to reset the ADS131E08S: pull the RESET pin low, or send the RESET command. When
using the RESET pin, driving the pin low forces the device into reset. Follow the minimum pulse duration timing
specifications before taking the RESET pin back high. The RESET command takes effect on the eighth SCLK
falling edge. After the device is reset, 18 tCLK cycles are required to complete initialization of the configuration
registers to the default states and start the conversion cycle.
9.4.3 Conversion Mode
Set the START pin high (for a minimum of 2 tCLK) or send the START command to begin conversions. When the
START pin is held low, or if the START command is not sent, conversions are halted and the new data-ready
indicator (the DRDY signal) does not issue.
When using the START command to control conversions, hold the START pin low.
In multiple device configurations, the START pin is used to synchronize devices (see the Multiple Device
Configuration section for more details).
9.4.3.1 START Pin Low-to-High Transition or START Command Sent
When the START pin is pulled high or when the START command is sent, the device ADCs begin converting the
input signals and the data ready indicator, DRDY, is pulled high. The next DRDY falling edge indicates that data
are ready. The settling time (tSETTLE) is the time required for the converter to output fully-settled data when the
START signal is pulled high or the START command is issued. Figure 32 shows the timing diagram and Table 5
shows the settling time for different data rates. The settling time depends on fCLK and the decimation ratio
(controlled by the DR[2:0] bits in the CONFIG1 register). Table 5 lists the settling time as a function of tCLK.

9.4.3.2 Input Signal Step
When the device is converting and there is a step change on the input signal, a delay of 3 tDR is required for the
output data to settle. Settled data are available on the fourth DRDY pulse. Data are available to read at each
DRDY low transition prior to the 4th DRDY pulse, but are recommended to be ignored. Figure 33 shows the
required wait time for complete settling for an input step or input transient event on the analog input.

9.4.3.3 Continuous Conversion Mode
When the START pin is pulled high or the START command is issued, conversions continue indefinitely until the
START pin is taken low or the STOP command is transmitted, as shown in Figure 34. When the START pin is
pulled low or the STOP command is issued, the conversion in progress completes and the DRDY output
transitions from high to low indicating that the latest data are available. Figure 35 and Table 6 illustrate the timing
of where the START pin can be brought low or the STOP command can be sent relative to a completed
conversion to halt further conversions. If the START pin is pulled low or if the STOP command is sent after the
tDSHD time, then an additional conversion takes place and completes before further conversions are halted. To
continuously run the converter without commands, tie the START pin high.

9.5 Programming
9.5.1 SPI Interface
The SPI-compatible serial interface consists of four signals: CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT. The interface is used to
read conversion data, read and write registers, and control the ADS131E08S operation. The DRDY output is
used as a status signal to indicate when ADC data are ready for readback. DRDY goes low when new data are
available.
9.5.1.1 Chip Select (CS)
Chip select (CS) selects the ADS131E08S for SPI communication. CS must remain low for the duration of the
serial communication. After the serial communication is finished, wait four or more tCLK cycles before taking CS
high; see the Timing Requirements section. When CS is taken high, the serial interface is reset, SCLK and DIN
are ignored (SCLK clears DRDY even when CS is high; see Figure 38 for more details), and DOUT enters a
high-impedance state. DRDY asserts when data conversion is complete, regardless of whether CS is high or low.
9.5.1.2 Serial Clock (SCLK)
Use SCLK as the SPI serial clock to shift in commands and shift out data from the device. The serial clock
(SCLK) features a Schmitt-triggered input and clocks data on the DIN and DOUT pins into and out of the
ADS131E08S.
Care must be taken to prevent glitches on SCLK when CS is low. Glitches as small as 1 ns in duration can be
interpreted as a valid serial clock. An instruction on DIN is decoded every eight serial clocks. If instructions are
suspected of being interrupted erroneously, toggle CS high and back low to reset the SPI interface, placing the
device in normal operation.
For a single device, the minimum speed needed for SCLK depends on the number of channels, number of bits of
resolution, and output data rate. (For multiple cascaded devices, see the Standard Configuration section.) The
SCLK rate limitation, as described by Equation 7, applies to RDATAC mode.
tSCLK < (tDR – 4 tCLK) / (NBITS × 8 + 24)
where
•
NBITS = resolution of data for the current data rate; 16 or 24
(7)
For example, if the ADS131E08S is used with an 8-kSPS mode (24-bit resolution), the minimum SCLK speed is
1.755 MHz to shift out all the data.
Data retrieval can be done either by putting the device in read data continuous mode (RDATAC mode) or
reading on demand using the read data command (RDATA). The SCLK rate limitation, as described by
Equation 7, applies to RDATAC mode. When using the RDATA command, the limitation applies if data must be
read in between two consecutive DRDY signals. This calculation assumes that there are no other commands
issued in between data captures.
There are two methods for transmitting SCLKs to the ADS131E08S to meet the decode timing specification
(tSDECODE) illustrated in Figure 1 for multiple byte commands:
1. SCLK can be transmitted in 8-bit bursts with a gap between bursts to maintain the tSDECODE timing
specification. The maximum SCLK frequency is specified in Figure 1.
2. A continuous SCLK stream can be sent when CS is low. Verify that the SCLK speed meets the tSDECODE
timing requirement. This method is not to be confused with a free-running SCLK where SCLK also operates
when CS is high. A free-running SCLK operation is not supported by this device.

9.5.1.3 Data Input (DIN)
Use the data input pin (DIN) along with SCLK to send commands and register data to the ADS131E08S. The
device latches data on DIN on the SCLK falling edge.
9.5.1.4 Data Output (DOUT)
Use the data output pin (DOUT) with SCLK to read conversions and register data from the ADS131E08S. Data
on DOUT are shifted out on the SCLK rising edge. DOUT goes to a high-impedance state when CS is high. In
read data continuous mode (see the SPI Command Definitions section for more details), the DOUT output line
can also be used to indicate when new data are available. If CS is low when new data are ready, a high-to-low
transition on the DOUT line occurs synchronously with a high-to-low transition on DRDY, as shown in Figure 36.
This feature can be used to minimize the number of connections between the device and system controller.

9.5.1.5 Data Ready (DRDY)
DRDY is an output signal that transitions from high to low to indicate that new conversion data are ready. DRDY
behavior is determined by whether the device is in RDATAC mode or if the RDATA command is being used to
read data on demand. See the RDATAC: Start Read Data Continuous Mode and RDATA: Read Data sections
for further details. The CS signal has no effect on the data-ready signal.
When reading data with the RDATA command, the read operation can overlap the next DRDY occurrence
without data corruption.
Figure 37 shows the relationship between DRDY, DOUT, and SCLK during data retrieval. DOUT transitions on
the SCLK rising edge. DRDY goes high on the first SCLK falling edge regardless of whether data are being
retrieved from the device or a command is being sent through the DIN pin. Data starts with the MSB of the status
word and then proceeds to the ADC channel data in sequential order (channel 1, channel 2, and so forth). Data
for powered down channels appear in the data stream as 0s and are to be ignored.

taken into consideration if the SPI bus is used to communicate with other devices on the same bus. Figure 38
shows a behavior diagram for DRDY when SCLKs are sent with CS high. Figure 38 shows that no data are
clocked out, but the DRDY signal is cleared.

9.5.2 Data Retrieval
Data retrieval can be accomplished in one of two methods. The read data continuous command (see the
RDATAC: Start Read Data Continuous Mode section) can be used to set the device in a mode to read the data
continuously without having to send a command. The read data command (see the RDATA: Read Data section)
can be used to read only one data output from the device (see the SPI Command Definitions section for more
details). Conversion data are read out serially on DOUT. The MSB of the status word is clocked out on the first
SCLK rising edge, followed by the ADC channel data. DRDY returns to high on the first SCLK falling edge. DIN
remains low for the entire read operation.
9.5.2.1 Status Word
A status word precedes data readback and provides information on the state of the ADS131E08S. The status
word is 24 bits long and contains the values for FAULT_STATP, FAULT_STATN, and the GPIO data bits. The
content alignment is shown in Figure 39.

NOTE
The status word length is always 24 bits. The length does not change for 32-kSPS and
64-kSPS data rates.
9.5.2.2 Readback Length
The number of bits in the data output depends on the number of channels and the number of bits per channel.
The data format for each channel data are twos complement and MSB first.
For the ADS131E08S with 32-kSPS and 64-kSPS data rates, the number of data bits is: 24 status bits + 16 bits
per channel × 8 channels = 152 bits.
For all other data rates, the number of data bits is: 24 status bits + 24 bits per channel × 8 channels = 216 bits.
When channels are powered down using the user register setting, the corresponding channel output is set to 0.
However, the sequence of channel outputs remains the same.

Programming (continued)
The ADS131E08S also provides a multiple data readback feature. Data can be read out multiple times by simply
providing more SCLKs, in which case the MSB data byte repeats after reading the last byte. The DAISY_IN bit in
the CONFIG1 register must be set to 1 for multiple read backs.
9.5.2.3 Data Format
The DR[2:0] bits in the CONFIG1 register sets the output resolution for the ADS131E08S. When DR[2:0] = 000
or 001, the 16 bits of data per channel are sent in binary twos complement format, MSB first. The size of one
code (LSB) is calculated using Equation 8.
1 LSB = (2 × VREF / Gain) / 216 = FS / 215
(8)
A positive full-scale input [VIN ≥ (FS – 1 LSB) = (VREF / Gain – 1 LSB)] produces an output code of 7FFFh and a
negative full-scale input (VIN ≤ –FS = –VREF / Gain) produces an output code of 8000h. The output clips at these
codes for signals that exceed full-scale.
Table 7 summarizes the ideal output codes for different input signals.

When DR[2:0] = 010, 011, 100, 101, or 110, the ADS131E08S outputs 24 bits of data per channel in binary twos
complement format, MSB first. The size of one code (LSB) is calculated using Equation 9.
1 LSB = (2 × VREF / Gain) / 224 = FS / 223
(9)
A positive full-scale input [VIN ≥ (FS – 1 LSB) = (VREF / Gain – 1 LSB)] produces an output code of 7FFFFFh and
a negative full-scale input (VIN ≤ –FS = –VREF / Gain) produces an output code of 800000h. The output clips at

9.5.3 SPI Command Definitions
The ADS131E08S provides flexible configuration control. The commands, summarized in Table 9, control and
configure device operation. The commands are stand-alone, except for the register read and register write
operations that require a second command byte to include additional data. CS can be taken high or held low
between commands but must stay low for the entire command operation (including multibyte commands).
System commands and the RDATA command are decoded by the ADS131E08S on the seventh SCLK falling
edge. The register read and write commands are decoded on the eighth SCLK falling edge. Make sure to follow
the SPI timing requirements when pulling CS high after issuing a command.

n nnnn = number of registers to be read or written – 1. For example, to read or write three registers, set n nnnn = 0 (0010). r rrrr = the
starting register address for read and write commands.
9.5.3.1 WAKEUP: Exit STANDBY Mode
The WAKEUP command exits the low-power standby mode; see the STANDBY: Enter STANDBY Mode section.
Be sure to allow enough time for all circuits in STANDBY mode to power-up (see the Electrical Characteristics
table for details). There are no SCLK rate restrictions for this command and it can be issued at any time.
Following the WAKEUP command, wait 4 tCLK cycles before sending another command.
9.5.3.2 STANDBY: Enter STANDBY Mode
The STANDBY command enters low-power standby mode. All circuits in the device are powered down except for
the reference section. The standby mode power consumption is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
There are no SCLK rate restrictions for this command and it can be issued at any time. Do not send any other
command other than the WAKEUP command after the device enters standby mode.
9.5.3.3 RESET: Reset Registers to Default Values
The RESET command resets the digital filter and returns all register settings to their default values; see the
Reset section for more details. There are no SCLK rate restrictions for this command and it can be issued at any
time. 18 tCLK cycles are required to execute the RESET command. Do not send any commands during this time.
9.5.3.4 START: Start Conversions
The START command starts data conversions. Tie the START pin low to control conversions by the START and
STOP commands. If conversions are in progress, this command has no effect. The STOP command is used to
stop conversions. If the START command is immediately followed by a STOP command, then there must be a
gap of 4 tCLK cycles between the commands. The current conversion completes before further conversions are
halted. There are no SCLK rate restrictions for this command and it can be issued at any time.

9.5.3.5 STOP: Stop Conversions
The STOP command stops conversions. Tie the START pin low to control conversions by the START and STOP
commands. When the STOP command is sent, the conversion in progress completes and further conversions
are stopped. If conversions are already stopped, this command has no effect.
9.5.3.6 OFFSETCAL: Channel Offset Calibration
The OFFSETCAL command is used to cancel the offset of each channel. The OFFSETCAL command is
recommended to be issued every time there is a change in PGA gain settings.
When the OFFSETCAL command is issued, the device configures itself to the lowest data rate (DR = 110,
1 kSPS) and performs the following steps for each channel:
• Short the analog inputs of each channel together and connect them to mid-supply [(AVDD + AVSS) / 2)
• Reset the digital filter (requires a filter settling time = 4 tDR)
• Collect 16 data points for calibration = 15 tDR
Total calibration time = (19 tDR × 8) + 1 ms = 153 ms.
9.5.3.7 RDATAC: Start Read Data Continuous Mode
The RDATAC command enables read data continuous mode. In this mode, conversion data are retrieved from
the device without the need to issue subsequent RDATA commands. This mode places the conversion data in
the output register with every DRDY falling edge so that the data can be shifted out directly. Shift out all data
from the device before data are updated with a new DRDY falling edge to avoid losing data. The read data
continuous mode is the default mode of the device.
Figure 40 shows the ADS131E08S data output protocol when using RDATAC mode.

SBAS705A – JUNE 2015 – REVISED JANUARY 2016
RDATAC mode is stopped by the stop read data continuous (SDATAC) command. If the device is in RDATAC
mode, an SDATAC command must be issued before any other commands can be sent to the device. There are
no SCLK rate restrictions for this command. However, subsequent data retrieval SCLKs or the SDATAC
command must wait at least 4 tCLK cycles for the command to execute. RDATAC timing is shown in Figure 41.
There is a keep out zone of 4 tCLK cycles around the DRDY pulse where this command cannot be issued in. If no
data are retrieved from the device and CS is held low, a high-to-low DOUT transition occurs synchronously with
DRDY. To retrieve data from the device after the RDATAC command is issued, make sure either the START pin
is high or the START command is issued. Figure 41 shows the recommended way to use the RDATAC
command. Read data continuous mode is ideally-suited for applications such as data loggers or recorders where
registers are set one time and do not need to be reconfigured.

9.5.3.8 SDATAC: Stop Read Data Continuous Mode
The SDATAC command stops the read data continuous mode. There are no SCLK rate restrictions for this
command, but wait at least 4 tCLK cycles before issuing any further commands. Use the read data (RDATA)
command to read data when in SDATAC mode.
9.5.3.9 RDATA: Read Data
Use the RDATA command to read conversion data when not in read data continuous mode. Issue this command
after DRDY goes low to read the conversion result (in stop read data continuous mode). There are no SCLK rate
restrictions for this command, and there is no wait time needed for subsequent commands or data retrieval
SCLKs. To use the RDATA command, the device must be actively converting (the START pin must be held high
or the START command must be issued). When reading data with the RDATA command, the read operation can
overlap the next DRDY occurrence without data corruption. RDATA can be sent multiple times after new data are
available, thus supporting multiple data readback. Figure 42 illustrates the recommended way to use the RDATA
command. RDATA is best suited for systems where register settings must be read or the user does not have
precise control over timing. Reading data using the RDATA command is recommended to avoid data corruption
when the DRDY signal is not monitored.

9.5.3.10 RREG: Read from Register
The RREG command reads the contents of one or more device configuration registers. When the device is in
read data continuous mode, an SDATAC command must be issued before the RREG command can be issued.
The RREG command can be issued at any time. The RREG command is a two-byte command on DIN followed
by the register data output on DOUT. The command is constructed as follows:
First byte: 001r rrrr, where r rrrr is the starting register address.
Second byte: 000n nnnn, where n nnnn is the number of registers to read – 1.
The 17th SCLK rising edge of the operation clocks out the MSB of the first register, as shown in Figure 43.
However, because this command is a multibyte command, there are SCLK rate restrictions depending on how
the SCLKs are issued; see Figure 1. CS must be low for the entire command.

9.5.3.11 WREG: Write to Register
The WREG command writes data to one or more device configuration registers. The WREG command is a twobyte command followed by the register data input. The command is constructed as follows:
First byte: 010r rrrr, where r rrrr is the starting register address.
Second byte: 000n nnnn, where n nnnn is the number of registers to write – 1.
After the two command bytes, the register data follows (in MSB-first format), as shown in Figure 44. For multiple
register writes across reserved registers (0Dh–11h), these registers must be included in the register count and
the default setting of the reserved register must be written. The WREG command can be issued at any time.
However, because this command is a multibyte command, there are SCLK rate restrictions depending on how
the SCLKs are issued; see Figure 1. CS must be low for the entire command.

9.5.3.12 Sending Multibyte Commands
The ADS131E08S serial interface decodes commands in bytes and requires 4 tCLK cycles to decode and execute
each command. This timing requirement can place restrictions on the SCLK speed and operational modes. For
example:
Assuming CLK is 2.048 MHz, then tSDECODE (4 tCLK) is 1.96 µs. When SCLK is 16 MHz, one byte can be
transferred in 0.5 µs. This byte transfer time does not meet the tSDECODE specification; therefore, a delay of
1.46 µs (1.96 µs – 0.5 µs) must be inserted after the first byte and before the second byte. If SCLK is 4 MHz,
one byte is transferred in 2 µs. Because this transfer time exceeds the tSDECODE specification (2 µs >
1.96 µs), the processor can send subsequent bytes without delay.

10 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
10.1 Application Information
10.1.1 Multiple Device Configuration
The ADS131E08S provides configuration flexibility when multiple devices are used in a system. The serial
interface typically needs four signals: DIN, DOUT, SCLK, and CS. With one additional chip select signal per
device, multiple devices can be operated on the same SPI bus. The number of signals needed to interface to N
devices is 3 + N.
10.1.1.1 Synchronizing Multiple Devices
When using multiple devices, the devices can be synchronized using the START signal. The delay time from the
rising edge of the START signal to the falling edge of the DRDY signal is fixed for a given data rate (see the
Conversion Mode section for more details on the settling times). Figure 54 shows the behavior of two devices
when synchronized with the START signal.

Figure 54. Synchronizing Multiple Converters
To use the internal oscillator in a daisy-chain configuration, one device must be set as the master for the clock
source with the internal oscillator enabled (CLKSEL pin = 1) and the internal oscillator clock must be brought out
of the device by setting the CLK_EN register bit to 1. The master device clock is used as the external clock
source for the other devices.
There are two ways to connect multiple devices with an optimal number of interface pins: standard configuration
and daisy-chain configuration.

Application Information (continued)
10.1.1.2 Standard Configuration
Figure 55a shows a configuration with two ADS131E08s devices cascaded. Together, the devices create a
system with 16 channels. DOUT, SCLK, and DIN are shared. Each device has its own chip select. When a
device is not selected by the corresponding CS being driven to logic 1, the DOUT pin of this device is highimpedance. This structure allows the other device to take control of the DOUT bus. This configuration method is
suitable for the majority of applications where extra I/O pins are available.
10.1.1.3 Daisy-Chain Configuration
Daisy-chain mode is enabled by setting the DAISY_IN bit in the CONFIG1 register. Figure 55b shows the daisychain configuration. In this mode SCLK, DIN, and CS are shared across multiple devices. The DOUT pin of
device 1 is connected to the DAISY_IN pin of device 0, thereby creating a daisy-chain for the data. Connect the
DAISY_IN pin of device 1 to DGND if not used. The daisy-chain timing requirements for the SPI interface are
illustrated in Figure 2. Data from the ADS131E08S device 0 appear first on DOUT, followed by a don’t care bit,
and then the status and data words from the ADS131E08S device 1.
The internal oscillator output cannot be enabled because all devices in the chain operate by sharing the same
DIN pin, thus an external clock must be used.

To reduce pin count, set the START pin low and use the START command to synchronize and start conversions.
Figure 55. Multiple Device Configurations
There are several items to be aware of when using daisy-chain mode:
1. One extra SCLK must be issued between each data set (see Figure 56)
2. All devices are configured to the same register values because the CS signal is shared
3. Device register readback is only valid for device 0 in the daisy-chain. Only ADC conversion data can be read
back from device 1 through device N, where N is the last device in the chain.

Application Information (continued)
The more devices in the chain, the more challenging adhering to setup and hold times becomes. A star-pattern
connection of SCLK to all devices, minimizing the trace length of DOUT, and other printed circuit board (PCB)
layout techniques helps to mitigate this challenge with signal delays. Placing delay circuits (such as buffers)
between DOUT and DAISY_IN are options to help reduce signal delays. One other option is to insert a D flip-flop
between DOUT and DAISY_IN clocked on an inverted SCLK. Figure 56 shows a timing diagram for daisy-chain
mode.

NOTE: n = (number of channels) × (resolution) + 24 bits. The number of channels is 8. Resolution is 16 bits or 24 bits.
Figure 56. Daisy-Chain Data Word
The maximum number of devices that can be daisy-chained depends on the data rate that the devices are
operated at. The maximum number of devices can be calculated with Equation 10.
fSCLK
NDEVICES =
fDR (NBITS)(NCHANNELS) + 24
where:
•
•
NBITS = device resolution (depends on DR[2:0] setting)
NCHANNELS = number of channels powered up in the device
(10)
For example, when the ADS131E08S is operated in 24-bit, 8-kSPS data rate with fSCLK = 10 MHz, up to six
devices can be daisy-chained together.
10.1.2 Power Monitoring Specific Applications
All channels of the ADS131E08S are exactly identical, yet independently configurable, thus giving the user the
flexibility of selecting any channel for voltage or current monitoring. An overview of a system configured to
monitor voltage and current is illustrated in Figure 57. Also, the simultaneously sampling capability of the device
allows the user to monitor both the current and the voltage at the same time. The full-scale differential input
voltage of each channel is determined by the PGA gain setting (see the CHnSET: Individual Channel Settings
section) for the respective channel and VREF (see the CONFIG3: Configuration Register 3 section).

10.1.3 Current Sensing
Figure 58 illustrates a simplified diagram of typical configurations used for current sensing with a Rogowski coil,
current transformer (CT), or an air coil that outputs a current or voltage. In the case of a current output
transformer, the burden resistors (R1) are used for current-to-voltage conversion. The output of the burden
resistors is connected to the ADS131E08S INxP and INxN inputs through an antialiasing RC filter for current
sensing. In the case of a voltage output transformer for current sensing (such as certain types of Rogowski coils),
the output terminals of the transformer are directly connected to the ADS131E08S INxP and INxN inputs through
an antialiasing RC filter. The input network must be biased to mid-supply if using a unipolar-supply analog
configuration (AVSS = 0 V, AVDD = 2.7 V to 5.5 V). The common-mode bias voltage [(AVDD + AVSS) / 2] can
be obtained from the ADS131E08S by either configuring the internal op amp in a unity-gain configuration using
the RF resistor and setting the OPAMP_REF bit of the CONFIG3 register to 1, or generated externally with a
resistor divider network between the positive and negative supplies.
Select the value of resistor R1 for the current output transformer and turns ratio of the transformer such that the
ADS131E08S full-scale differential input voltage range is not exceeded. Likewise, select the output voltage for
the voltage output transformer to not exceed the full-scale differential input voltage range. In addition, the
selection of the resistors (R1 and R2) and turns ratio must not saturate the transformer over the full operating
dynamic range. Figure 58a illustrates differential input current sensing and Figure 58b illustrates single-ended
input voltage sensing. Use separate external op amps to source and sink current because the internal op amp
has very limited current sink and source capability. Additionally, separate op amps for each channel help isolate
individual phases from one another to limit crosstalk.
10.1.4 Voltage Sensing
Figure 59 illustrates a simplified diagram of commonly-used differential and single-ended methods of voltage
sensing. A resistor divider network is used to step down the line voltage to within the acceptable ADS131E08S
input range and then connect to the inputs (INxP and INxN) through an antialiasing RC filter formed by resistor
R3 and capacitor C. The common-mode bias voltage [(AVDD + AVSS) / 2] can be obtained from the
ADS131E08S by either configuring the internal op amp in a unity-gain configuration using the RF resistor and
setting the OPAMP_REF bit of the CONFIG3 register, or generated externally by using a resistor divider network
between the positive and negative supplies.
In either of the cases illustrated in Figure 59 (Figure 59a for a differential input and Figure 59b for a single-ended
input), the line voltage is divided down by a factor of [R2 / (R1 + R2)]. Values of R1 and R2 must be carefully
chosen so that the voltage across the ADS131E08S inputs (INxP and INxN) does not exceed the range of the
ADS131E08S over the full operating dynamic range. Use separate external op amps to source and sink current
because the internal op amp has very limited current sink and source capability. Additionally, separate op amps
for each channel help isolate individual phases from one another to limit crosstalk.

10.2 Typical Application
Figure 60 shows the ADS131E08S being used as part of an electronic trip unit (ETU) in a circuit breaker or
protection relay. Delta-sigma (ΔΣ), analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), such as the ADS131E08S, are ideal for
this application because these devices provide a wide dynamic range. The fast power-up time of the
ADS131E08S makes the device an ideal candidate for line-powered circuit breaker applications.
The system measures voltages and currents output from a breaker enclosure. In this example, the first three
inputs measure line voltage and the remaining five inputs measure line current from the secondary winding of a
current transformer (CT). A voltage divider steps down the voltage from the output of the breaker. Several
resistors are used to break up power consumption and are used as a form of fault protection against any
potential resistor short-circuit. After the voltage step down, RC filters are used for antialiasing and diodes protect
the inputs from overrange.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The line voltage is stepped down to a voltage range within the measurable range of the ADC. The reference
voltage determines the range in which the ADC can measure signals. The ADS131E08S has two integrated lowdrift reference voltage options: 2.4 V and 4 V.
Equation 11 describes the transfer function for the voltage divider at the input in Figure 60. Using multiple series
resistors, RDIV1, and multiple parallel resistors, RDIV2, allows for power and heat to be dissipated among several
circuit elements and serves as protection against a potential short-circuit across a single resistor. The number of
resistors trade off with nominal accuracy because each additional element introduces an additional source of
tolerance.

The step-down resistor, RDiv2, dominates the measurement error produced by the resistor network. Using input
PGAs on the ADS131E08S helps to mitigate this error source by allowing RDiv2 to be made smaller and then
amplifying the signal to near full-scale using the ADS131E08S PGA.
For this design, RDiv1 is set to 200 kΩ and RDiv2 is set to 2.4 kΩ to provide proper signal attenuation at a sufficient
power level across each resistor. The input saturates at values greater than ±750 V when using the
ADS131E08S internal 2.4-V reference and a PGA gain of 2.
The ADS131E08S measures the line current by creating a voltage across the burden resistance (RBurden in
Figure 60) in parallel with the secondary winding of a CT. As with the voltage measurement front-end, multiple
resistors (RDiv1) that are used to step down a voltage share the duty of dissipating power. In this design, RBURDEN
is set to 33 Ω. Used with a 1:500 turns ratio CT, the ADC input saturates with a line current over 25 A when the
ADC is configured using the internal 2.4-V reference and a PGA gain of 2.
Diodes protect the ADS131E08S inputs from overvoltage and current. Diodes on each input shunt to either
supply if the input voltage exceeds the safe range for the device. On current inputs, a diode shunts the inputs if
current on the secondary winding of the CT threatens to damage the device.

SBAS705A – JUNE 2015 – REVISED JANUARY 2016
The combination of RFilt, CCom, and CDif form the antialiasing filters for each of the inputs. The differential
capacitor CDif improves the common-mode rejection of the system by sharing its tolerance between the positive
and negative input. The antialiasing filter requirement is not strict because the nature of a ΔΣ converter (with
oversampling and digital filter) attenuates a significant proportion of out-of-band noise. In addition, the input
PGAs have intentionally low bandwidth to provide additional antialiasing. The component values used in this
design are RFilt = 1 kΩ, CCom = 47 pF, and CDif = 0.015 μF. This first-order filter produces a relatively flat
frequency response beyond 2 kHz, capable of measuring greater than 30 harmonics at a 50-Hz or 60-Hz
fundamental frequency. The 3-dB cutoff frequency of the filter is 5.3 kHz for each input channel.
The ETU in a circuit breaker or protection relay can be powered from the line. In this case, fast power-up is
required to allow the ADC to begin making measurements shortly after power is restored. The ADS131E08S is
designed to fully power-up and collect data in less than 3 ms.
Each analog system block introduces errors from input to output. Protection CTs in the 5P accuracy class can
introduce as much as ±1% current error from input to output. CTs in the 10P accuracy class can introduce as
much as ±3% error. The burden resistor also introduces errors in the form of resistor tolerance and temperature
drift. For the voltage input, error comes from the divider network in the form of resistor tolerance and temperature
drift. Finally, the converter introduces errors in the form of offset error, gain error, and reference error. All of these
specifications can drift over temperature.
10.2.3 Application Curves
Accuracy is measured using a system designed in a similar way to that illustrated in Figure 60. The CT used for
the current input is CT1231 (a 0.3 class, solid core, 5:2500 turns transformer). In each case, data are taken for
three channels over one cycle of the measured waveform and the RMS input-referred signal is compared to the
output to calculate the error. The equation used to derive the measurement error is shown in Equation 12. Data
are taken using both the 2.4-V and 4-V internal reference voltages. In all cases, measured accuracy is within
±1%.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
11.1 Power-Up Timing
Settled data from the ADS131E08S are available within 3 ms of power-up if a strict timing sequence is followed.
Before device power-up, all digital and analog inputs must be held low. Provide the master clock 50 µs after the
analog and digital supplies reach 90% of their nominal values, shown as tPCLK in Figure 66. Pull the RESET pin
high following the tPRST timing to bring the ADC digital filters out of a reset state and to begin the conversion
process.
Settled data are available at the first DRDY falling edge, shown as tSETTLE in Figure 66. These data are from the
settled digital filter; however, the first data set may not be a settled representation of the input because additional
time is required for the reference and critical voltage nodes to settle to their final values. The tSTABLE timing adds
the recommended wait time for settled data to be available at the ADC output. When the tSTABLE time has
passed, the next DRDY falling edge indicates a valid conversion result of the input signal where both the digital
filter and node voltages are settled.

Timing is for the 4-kSPS data rate; see Table 5 for digital filter settling times for different data rates.
To deviate from the default register settings, write to the ADS131E08S registers after pulling the RESET pin high.
Changes to any of the registers delay the tSETTLE start point until the register write is complete. If the data rate is
changed following the RESET pin going high, the tSETTLE timing takes on the settling characteristics of Table 5
relative to the completion of the command.

11.2 Recommended External Capacitor Values
The ADS131E08S power-up time is set by the time required for the critical voltage nodes to settle to their final
values. The analog supplies (AVDD and AVSS), digital supply (DVDD), and internal node voltages (VCAPx pins)
must be up and stable when the data converter samples are taken to ensure performance. The combined current
sourcing capability of the supplies and size of the bypass capacitors dictate the ramp rate of AVDD, AVSS, and
DVDD. The VCAPx voltages are charged internally using the supply voltages. Table 23 lists the internal node
voltages, their function, and recommended capacitor values to optimize the power-up time.

12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
Use a low-impedance connection for ground so that return currents flow undisturbed back to their respective
sources. For best performance, dedicate an entire PCB layer to a ground plane and do not route any other signal
traces on this layer. Keep connections to the ground plane as short and direct as possible. When using vias to
connect to the ground layer, use multiple vias in parallel to reduce impedance to ground.
A mixed-signal layout sometimes incorporates separate analog and digital ground planes that are tied together at
one location; however, separating the ground planes is not necessary when analog, digital, and power-supply
components are properly placed. Proper placement of components partitions the analog, digital, and powersupply circuitry into different PCB regions to prevent digital return currents from coupling into sensitive analog
circuitry. If ground plane separation is necessary, then make the connection at the ADC. Connecting individual
ground planes at multiple locations creates ground loops, and is not recommended. A single ground plane for
analog and digital avoids ground loops.
Bypass supply pins with a low-equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor. The placement of the
bypass capacitors must be as close as possible to the supply pins using short, direct traces. For optimum
performance, the ground-side connections of the bypass capacitors must also be low-impedance connections.
The supply current flows through the bypass capacitor terminal first and then to the supply pin to make the
bypassing most effective (also known as a Kelvin connection). If multiple ADCs are on the same PCB, use wide
power-supply traces or dedicated power-supply planes to minimize the potential of crosstalk between ADCs.
If external filtering is used for the analog inputs, use C0G-type ceramic capacitors when possible. C0G
capacitors have stable properties and low-noise characteristics. Ideally, route differential signals as pairs to
minimize the loop area between the traces. Route digital circuit traces (such as clock signals) away from all
analog pins. The internal reference output return shares the same pin as the AVSS power supply. To minimize
coupling between the power-supply trace and reference return trace, route the two traces separately; ideally, as
a star connection at the AVSS pin.
Short, direct interconnections must be made on analog input lines and stray wiring capacitance must be avoided,
particularly between the analog input pins and AVSS. These analog input pins are high-impedance and are
extremely sensitive to extraneous noise. Treat the AVSS pin as a sensitive analog signal and connect directly to
the supply ground with proper shielding. Leakage currents between the PCB traces can exceed the input bias
current of the ADS131E08S if shielding is not implemented. Keep digital signals as far as possible from the
analog input signals on the PCB.
The SCLK input of the serial interface must be free from noise and glitches. Even with relatively slow SCLK
frequencies, short digital signal rise and fall times can cause excessive ringing and noise. For best performance,
keep the digital signal traces short, using termination resistors as needed, and make sure all digital signals are
routed directly above the ground plane with minimal use of vias. Figure 69 shows the ideal placement of system
components.

Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6)
Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
