Low-Noise 24-bit Delta Sigma ADC
The ISL26102 and ISL26104 provide a low-noise
programmable gain amplifier along with a 24-bit Delta-Sigma
Analog-to-Digital Converter with two channel (ISL26102) or
four channel (ISL26104) differential, multiplexed inputs. The
devices feature exceptional noise performance for conversion
rates ranging from 2.5Sps to 4kSps.
Features
The on-chip low-noise programmable-gain amplifier provides
gains ranging from 1 to 128, which supports ±19.5mVFS from
a 5V reference. The high input impedance allows direct
connection of sensors such as load cell bridges to ensure the
specified measurement accuracy without additional circuitry.
• Output word rates up to 4kSps
The Delta-Sigma ADC features a 3rd-order modulator providing
up to 21.5 bit noise-free performance (10Sps), with
user-selectable word rates. The converter can be operated
from an external clock source, an external crystal (typically
4.9152MHz), or the on-chip oscillator.
• ISL26104 in 28 Ld TSSOP
• Programmable gain amplifier with gains of 1 to 128
• Low noise: 7nV/√Hz @ PGA = 128
• Linearity error: 0.0002% FS

NOTES:
6. If the device is driven with an external clock, best performance will be achieved if the rise and fall times of the clock are slowed to less than 20ns
(10% to 90% rise/fall time).
7. Compliance to datasheet limits is assured by one or more methods: production test, characterization and/or design.
8. Output word rates (MIN and MAX in the table) are specified using 4.9152MHz clock. If a different clock frequency is used, or if the internal oscillator
is used as the clock source for the converter, the output word rates will scale proportionally to the change in the clock frequency.
9. The OWR (Output Word Rate) setting dictates the rate at which the SDO/RDY signal will fall. To read every conversion word, reading of the conversion
word should begin immediately after SDO/RDY falls and the SCLK rate should be fast enough to read all 24 data bits of the conversion word before
the next falling edge of SDO/RDY that indicates that a new conversion word is available.

Circuit Description
A key element in the ISL26102/ISL26104 A/D converters is its
low noise chopper-stabilized programmable gain amplifier. The
amplifier features seven gain settings (2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 64x,
and 128x). On these gain settings, the amplifier has very high
input impedance but has restricted common mode range, which
does not extend all the way to the power supply rails. When the
gain of 1x is selected, the chopper-stabilized amplifier is
bypassed. The modulator input, which is used directly in 1x gain,
has a common mode range that extends to the supply rails. But,
because of this greater common mode range on the 1x gain
setting, the input current is higher than on the other gain
settings.
The ISL26102 provides the user with two fully differential signal
inputs at the multiplexer plus two other internal channel
selections, which allow the user to monitor the analog supply
voltage of the chip, and the on-chip temperature sensor. The
ISL26104 provides the user with two additional fully differential
inputs on the multiplexer.
The programmable gain amplifier has a passive RC filter on its
output. The resistors are located inside the chip on the outputs of
the differential amplifier stages. The capacitor (nominally a
100nF C0G ceramic or PPS film (Polyphenylene sulfide)) for the
filter is connected to the two CAP pins of the chip. The outputs of
the differential amplifier stages of the PGA are filtered before
their signals are presented to the delta-sigma modulator. This
filter reduces the amount of noise by limiting the signal
bandwidth and eliminating the chopping artifacts of the chopped
PGA stage.

Digital Filter
The output of the delta-sigma modulator in the A/D converter is
filtered with a Sinc4 digital filter that includes programmable
decimation to achieve a wide range of output word rates. The
transfer function of the Sinc4 filter is illustrated in Figure 9.
Figure 9 is normalized to 1 being the output word rate. The
output word rate can be selected by setting bits in the OWR
(Output Word Rate) Register. The converter provides a wide
selection of word rates as shown in Table 3. Note that the word
rates are based upon an XTALIN/CLOCK of 4.9152MHz. If the
clock is a different frequency than 4.9152MHz, the actual output
word rate will scale proportionally.

Analog Input Span

The input span of the A/D converter is determined by the
magnitude of the voltage reference and the gain setting
selection. The voltage reference magnitude is determined by the
voltage difference between the VREF+ and the VREF- pins. This
voltage may be as low as 1.5V or as great as the analog supply
voltage to the chip. The voltage on the VREF pins is scaled to accept
a voltage into the A/D converter on 1x gain of ±0.5 VREF/GAIN
where gain is 1. An illustration of the input span when using a 5V
VREF is in Figure 8. The figure illustrates that with a VREF = 5V and a
gain setting of 1x, the input span will be ±2.5V, which is a fully
differential signal. If the programmable gain amplifier gain is set to
another value other than 1x, the input span will be reduced by the
gain scale factor. With a VREF = 5V and the PGA gain set at 128x,
the input span into the ADC will be [±(0.5)5V]/128 = ±19.53mV on
a fully differential basis.

Digital Filter Settling Time
If the Input Mux Selection register is written into to select a new
channel, the modulator and the digital filter are reset and the
converter begins computing a new output word when the new
mux selection is made. The first conversion word output from the
A/D after a new mux channel is selected, or after the PGA gain is
changed, will be delayed to allow the filter to fully settle. A Sinc4
filter takes four conversion times to fully settle, therefore the
SDO/RDY signal will not fall until a time of four normal
conversion periods has elapsed. The SDO/RDY output falls to
signal that an output conversion word is ready to be read.
Whenever the input signal has a large step change in value, it
may take as many as six output conversions for the output word
to accurately represent the new input value.
Clock Sources
The ISL26102/ISL26104 can operate from an internal oscillator,
and external clock source, or from a crystal connected between
the XTALIN/CLOCK and XTALOUT pins. See the block diagram for
the clock system in Figure 10. When the converter is powered up,
the CLOCK DETECT block determines if an external clock source
is present. If a clock signal greater than 300kHz is present on the
XTALIN/CLOCK pin, the circuitry will disable the internal oscillator
and use the external clock as the clock to drive the chip circuitry.
If the ADC is to be operated from the internal oscillator the
XTALIN/CLOCK pin should be grounded. If the ADC is to be
driven with an external clock there should be a 100 resistor
placed in series with the clock signal to the XTALIN/CLOCK pin.
This helps slow the rise and fall time edges, which can impact
converter performance. If the ADC is to be operated with a
crystal, the crystal should be located very close to the A/D
converter package pins. Note that loading capacitors for the
crystal are not required as there are loading capacitors built into
the silicon, although the capacitor values are optimized for
operation with a 4.9152MHz crystal.
FIGURE 10. CLOCK GENERATOR BLOCK DIAGRAM
Overview of Registers and A/D Converter
Operation
The ISL26102, ISL26104 devices are controlled via their serial
port by accessing various on-chip registers. Communication to
the A/D via the serial port occurs by writing a command byte
followed by a data byte. All registers in the converter are
accessed or written as 8-bit wide registers, even though some
data words may be up to three bytes in length. The converter has
offset registers (three bytes wide) associated with each PGA gain
setting. These registers hold the offset calibration word, a three
byte twos complement word, for each gain selection. When
power is first applied to the converter these registers are reset to
zero. Note that the ISL26102, ISL26104 converters do not have
gain calibration registers for the PGA gains. This is because the
gain for each PGA gain setting is calibrated at the factory.
Table 4 list the registers inside the ADC. When power is first
applied the Offset Array Registers, registers which hold the offset
calibration words for each PGA gain, are set to zero.
The Chip ID register has a bit, which allows the user to identify
whether the chip is an ISL26102 (2 channel) or an ISL26104
(4 Channel) device. This register also has a code, which is
assigned to reveal the revision of the chip.
The SDO/LSPS register allows the user to control the behavior of
the SDO (Serial Data Output) output. If bit (b1) is set to logic 0,
the SDO/RDY output will go low when conversions are completed
and output the 24-bit conversion word if CS is taken high and 24
SCLKs are issued to the SCLK pin. If the SDO bit in this register is
set to logic 1, the SDO output will be set to a tri-state condition
(high output impedance). This allows another device, such as
another A/D converter, to be connected to this same signal line
going to the microcontroller.
The LSPS (Low-Side Power Switch) bit allows the user to toggle a
switch via the LSPS pin that can be used to enable power to a
load cell or other circuitry. When the LSPS bit is logic 0 the LSPS
switch is open. When the LSPS bit is logic 1, the switch is closed.
The LSPS bit is set back to a logic 0 if the chip is put into Standby
via the Standby Register, or if the PDWN signal is activated. See
data sheet tables for the current capability of the switch.
The Standby register has a bit which when set to logic 1, the chip
enters the standby mode. In standby mode, the chip enters a low
power state. Only the crystal oscillator is left powered (if used) to
enable a quick return to full operation when bit (b0) is set back to
logic 0. If the crystal is not being used, it is not powered. In this
FN7608 Rev 0.00

Page 10 of 21
ISL26102, ISL26104
case, there is no difference in power consumption for standby or
power-down modes.
The Output Word Rate register allows the user to set the rate at
which the converter performs conversions. Table 3 lists the
output word rate options.
The Input Mux Selection register defines the input signal that will
be used when conversions are performed. The signals include
either 2 (ISL26102) or 4 (ISL26104) differential input channels,
an on-chip temperature sensor, or the monitor node for the AVDD
supply voltage. Note that if the temperature sensor or the AVDD
monitor are selected the PGA gain is internally set for 1x gain.
The PGA Gain register allows the user to set the PGA gain setting
for the channel pointed to by the Channel Pointer register. The
PGA provides gain settings of 1x (in this gain setting the
programmable gain amplifier is actually bypassed and the signal
goes directly to the modulator), 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 64x, and
128x.
The Conversion Control register provides the means to initiate
offset calibration, or initiate single or continuous conversions. If
bit b2 of this register is set to a logic 1, an offset calibration will
be performed and the states of bits b1 and b0 are ignored. The
state of bit b2 will be set back to a logic 0 after the offset
calibration is complete.
If the b1b0 bits are set to 01, a single conversion will be
performed. When the conversion is completed, the bits will be set
back to 00, the SDO/RDY pin will be taken low (note that the CS
pin must be a logic 1 for SDO/RDY to fall) and the conversion
data will be held in a register. If the user enables CS (held at
logic 1) and provides 24 SCLKs to the SCLK pin, the data word
will be shifted out of the SDO/RDY pin as a 24-bit two’s
complement word, starting with the MSB. Data bits are clocked
out on the rising edge of SCLK. If the entire 24-bit data word is
not read before the completion of the next conversion, it will be
overwritten with the new conversion word.
FN7608 Rev 0.00
October 12, 2012
If the b1b0 bits are set to 10, conversions will be performed
continuously until bits b1b0 are set to either 00 or 01, Standby
mode is activated, or the PDWN pin is taken low. Refer to
“Reading Conversion Data” on page 14.
The Delay Timer register allows the user to program a delay time,
which will be inserted between the time that the user selects an
input to be converted via the Input Mux Selection register and
when the conversion is started. If continuous conversions are
selected via the Conversion Control register, the Input Mux
Selection register can be changed without needing to stop
conversions. The Delay Timer register allows the user to insert a
delay between when the mux is changed and when a new
conversion is started. If the Delay Timer register is set to all 0's
the minimum delay will be 100µs.
Any time the PGA Gain setting is changed, the channel selection
is changed, or a command is given to start conversion(s), the
user can expect a delay before the SDO/RDY signal will fall. This
delay is defined by Equation 1:
4ms + Delay Timer Register Setting 4ms  + 100s  + 4  1  OWR  
(EQ. 1)
The first 4ms is for the PGA to settle. This delay cannot be
changed. The Delay Timer register setting is user controllable,
and it dictates the majority of the second section of the equation.
The 4*(1/OWR) term is the time required for the filter to settle at
the OWR (Output Word Rate), which has been selected in the
Output Word Rate register.
The PGA Offset Array registers hold the calibration results for the
offset calibration done for each of the PGA gain settings. The
result of an offset calibration is a 24-bit twos complement word.
There are eight high byte registers, eight mid byte registers and
eight low byte registers. When reading or writing to one of the
PGA Offset Array byte registers, the register selected will be
determined by the PGA Pointer Register.
The PGA Pointer register contains the pointer to the PGA Offset
register array bytes associated with a specific PGA gain.

Writing to On-chip Registers
Writing into a register on the chip involves writing an address
byte followed by a data byte. The lead bit of the address byte is
always a logic 1 to indicate that data is to be written. The
remaining seven bits of the address byte contain the address of
the register that is to be written. To begin the write cycle, CS must
first be taken low with SCLK low. This should occur at least
125ns before SCLK goes high. This is shown as tcs in the timing
diagram of Figure 11. Once CS is low, the user must then present
the lead bit to the SDI port. The data bits will be latched into the
port by rising edges of SCLK. The data set-up time (tds) of the
data bits to the rising edge of SCLK is 50ns (Note that one half
clock cycle of the highest SCLK rate is 1/(2*4 MHz) = 125ns).
Data hold time (tdh) is also 50ns. Data bits should be advanced
to the next bit on falling edges of SCLK. Once the eight data bits
have been written, CS should be returned to high. (CS must be
high to read conversion data words from the port). When CS goes
high the user should ignore any activity on the SDO/RDY pin for
at least 10 cycles of the master clock, which is driving the ADC.
FN7608 Rev 0.00
October 12, 2012
See Figure 11 for an illustration of the timing to write on-chip
registers.
If multiple registers are to be written, CS should be taken high
after each address byte/data byte combination and remain high
for at least a period of time equal to 6*1/(Xtal/Clock) frequency.
If the chip is operating from a 4.9152MHz master clock, this
would mean that CS should remain high between write cycles for
at least 6*1/4.9152MHz = 1.22µs.
Lower frequency master clock rates (minimum master clock rate
can be as low as 300kHz) will require CS to remain high for a
longer period of time between register write cycles.
Each time an address/data byte combination is written into the
port, the master clock is used to place the data into the register
after CS returns high. This is required because the data transfer
must be synchronized to the clock that is driving the
modulator/filter circuitry.
Page 13 of 21
ISL26102, ISL26104
Reading from On-chip Registers
will then wait for the SDO/RDY signal to fall. Once the SDO/RDY
signal falls, the 24-bit conversion data word becomes available to
the port. To read the conversion word, the CS signal should be left
in the logic 1 state and 24 SCLKs issued to the SCLK pin. The first
rising SCLK edge will make the MSB data bit of the 24-bit word
become available. The falling edge of the first SCLK will latch the
bit into the external receiving logic device. Subsequent rising
edges of SCLK will cause the port output to advance to the next
data bit. Once the last data bit is read, the SCLK signal should
remain low until another conversion word is available or until a
command to write or read an on-chip register is performed.
Reading from a register on the chip begins by writing an address
byte into the SDI port. The lead bit of the address byte is always a
logic 0 to indicate that data is to be read from an on-chip register.
The remaining seven bits of the address byte contains the
address of the register that is to be read. To begin the read cycle,
CS must first be taken low with SCLK low and be low for at least
125ns before SCLK is taken high to latch the first data bit. The
eight address bits will be latched into the port by rising edges of
SCLK. The data set-up time (tds) of the data bits to the rising edge
of SCLK is 50ns (one half clock cycle of the highest SCLK rate is
1/(2*4MHz) = 125ns). Data hold time (tdh) is also 50ns. Address
bits should be advanced to the next bit on falling edges of SCLK.
Once the address byte has been written, the port will output a
byte from the selected 8-bit register onto the SDO pin. A total of
16 SCLKs are required to write the address byte and then read
the 8-bit register output. The timing for reading from on-chip
registers is illustrated in Figure 12.
SDO/RDY goes low to signal that a conversion has been
performed and that the conversion word is available. If the
analog input signal goes over range this may cause the
modulator to become unstable. If this condition occurs the
modulator resets itself. The output code will be held at full scale
but the effect of the modulator being reset will cause the
SDO/RDY signal to fall at only one fourth of its word rate. This
occurs because when the modulator is reset, the digital filter is
also reset and it takes four conversion periods for the filter to
accumulate enough modulator bit stream information to produce
an accurate conversion result.

The A/D converter can be placed in the standby mode by writing
to the Standby register. Standby mode causes the converter to
enter a low power state except for the crystal oscillator amplifier.
If the converter is operated with a crystal connected to the
XTALIN/CLOCK and XTALOUT pins the crystal will continue to
oscillate. This reduces start-up time when the Standby register
bit is written back to logic 0 to exit standby mode.

FIGURE 14. PDWN DELAY CIRCUIT
Operation of PDWN
When power is first applied to the converter, the PDWN pin must
transition from Low to High after both power supplies have
settled to specified levels in order to initiate a correct internal
power-on reset. A means of controlling the PDWN pin with a
simple RC delay circuit is illustrated in Figure 14. If AVDD and
DVDD are different supplies, be certain that AVDD is fully
established before PDWN goes high.
The PDWN pin can be taken low at any time to reduce power
consumption. When PDWN is taken low, all circuitry is shut
down, including the crystal oscillator. When coming out of
power-down, PDWN is brought high to resume operation. There
will be some delay before the chip begins operation. The delay
will depend upon the source of the clock being used. If the
XTALIN/CLOCK pin is driven by an external clock, the delay will be
minimal. If the crystal oscillator is the clock source, the oscillator
must start before the chip can function. Using the on chip crystal
oscillator amplifier with an attached 4.9152MHz clock will
typically require about 20ms to start-up.
Low Side Power Switch
The ADC includes a low side power switch. The LSPS pin is an
open drain connection to a transistor, which can be turned on or
off via bit control in the SDO/LSPS register. The LSPS switch can
be used to enable/disable excitation to external systems, such as
a load cell. Figure 15 illustrates the typical connection of the ADC
in a load cell measurement system. The LSPS pin is connected to
the low side of the load cell.

Device Supply and Temperature Monitoring
One of the multiplexer input selections is the AVDD Monitor. This
option allows the A/D converter to measure a divided down value
of the AVDD voltage. The nominal output code from AVDD
monitor is given by (223)*AVDD/(2*VREF). Table 6 provides a
listing of the nominal count of the A/D converter associated with
supply voltage values between 4.75 and 5.25V. Table 6 is based
on VREF = 5V.
If a VREF of 2.5V is used, the output code from the A/D converter
will stay at +Full Scale when AVDD > 5V. Thus, the AVDD monitor
will not be able to check the voltages greater than 5V, but it will
provide proper readings for AVDD voltages below 5V.

FIGURE 16. INPUT MULTIPLEXER BLOCK DIAGRAM
When the Input Mux Selection register is instructed to select the
on-chip temperature sensor signal, the A/D measures a
differential voltage produced between two diodes that are biased
at different operating currents. The differential voltage is defined
by Equation 2:
(EQ. 2)
Whenever the temperature sensor is selected in the Input Mux
Selection Register, the Gain is set to 1x.
At a temperature of +25°C the measured voltage will be
approximately 111.7mV. The actual output code from the
converter will depend upon the magnitude of the VREF signal.
The 111.7mV signal will be a portion of the span set by the VREF
voltage using a gain setting of 1x. If VREF is 5V, one code in the
FN7608 Rev 0.00
October 12, 2012
The on-chip temperature will typically be about 3° hotter than
ambient because the device's power consumption is about
50 mW and the thermal impedance from die to ambient is about
63°/W; (0.05)*63 = 3.15°.
Getting Started
When power is first applied to the converter, the PDWN pin
should be held low until the power supplies and the voltage
reference are stable. Then PDWN should be taken high. When
this occurs the serial port logic and other logic in the chip will
have been reset. The chip contains factory calibration data stored
in on-chip non-volatile memory. When PDWN goes positive this
data is transferred into the appropriate working registers. This
initialization can take up to 12.6ms. If an external clock or the
internal oscillator are used as the clock for the chip, then this
12.6ms time includes the time necessary for these to be
functional. But, if the crystal oscillator is used, the crystal may
take 20ms to start up before the 12.6ms initialization occurs.
Writing into or reading from the serial port should be delayed
until the clock source and the initialization period have elapsed.
Once the clock source and initialization period have elapsed, the
user should configure the ADC by writing into the appropriate
registers. The commands and the corresponding data bytes that
are to be placed into each of the registers are shifted into the SDI
pin with CS held low. CS should be taken high for at least six
cycles of the master clock after each command/data byte
combination. This allows the control logic to properly synchronize
the writing of the register with the master clock that controls the
modulator/filter system. Each command/data byte combination
should have its own CS cycle of CS going low, shifting the data,
then CS going high, and remaining high for at least six cycles of
the master clock.
AIN2 AIN3 +
V = 102.2 mV + (379µV* T(°C))
converter will be ±0.5(VREF)/223 = 298nV. Since the converter
span is bipolar, and its span represents ± 8.338 million codes,
the +111.7mV will output of a code of approximately 374,800
counts.
Even though the device has been powered up, reset, and its
register settings have been configured, the programmable gain
amplifier and modulator portions of the ADC remain in a low
power state until a command to start conversions is written into
the Conversion Control register. To minimize drift in the device
due to self-heating, it is recommended that after all registers are
initialized to their initial condition, the command to start
continuous conversions be issued as soon as is practical.
Subsequent changes to registers, such as selecting another mux
channel, should be performed with continuous conversions
active. The proper method of writing to the other registers when
continuous conversions are active is to wait for SDO/RDY to fall,
read the conversion data, then take CS low and issue the
command and the data byte that is to be written into a register,
then return CS high. If multiple registers are to be written, CS
should be toggled low and high to frame each command/data
byte combination. Whenever any of the following registers
[SDO/LSPS, Output Word Rate, Input Mux Selection, PGA Gain,
Delay Timer, PGA Offset Array, or Offset Calibration] are written
with continuous conversions in progress, the digital filter will be
reset and there will be a delay determined by Equation 1 on
page 11. The delay will begin when CS returns and remains high.
When the delay has elapsed, the SDO/RDY signal will go low to
Page 16 of 21
ISL26102, ISL26104
signal that a conversion data word is available. The Chip ID
register (read only), the Channel Pointer register, and the PGA
Monitor register can be read or written without any effect to the
filter, and therefore there will be no delay in SDO/RDY falling. If
the Standby register is enabled, conversions will be stopped.
Performing Calibration
The offset calibration function in the A/D converter removes the
offset associated with the PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier) in
a specific gain setting. There are eight gain settings (1x, 2x, 4x,
8x, 16x, 32x, 64x, and 128x) and there is an array of eight sets of
three byte registers which hold the high, middle, and low bytes of
a 24-bit calibration word. The word is stored in twos complement
format.
When calibration is performed it is to correct the PGA offset and is
not actually associated with a given input channel. When a
calibration is executed, its result is based upon the results of the
converter performing a conversion with the input to the PGA shorted
internally to the chip. The conversion result will have an uncertainty
due to the peak-to-peak noise of the converter on the word rate in
which the calibration is performed. Lower word rates have lower
signal bandwidth and therefore will have less peak to peak variation
in the output result when a calibration is performed. Therefore, it
can improve calibration accuracy if the calibration is performed with
the lowest word rate acceptable to the user.
Perform a PGA Offset Calibration
1. Write to the Output Word Rate register (85h) and select a
word rate.
2. Write to the Input Mux Selection register (87h) and select an
input channel (AIN1 to AIN4, not AVDD monitor or
Temperature Sensor). Note that the channel will actually be
shorted internally so it need not be a specific channel.
3. Write to the Channel Pointer register (88h) with the same
selection written into the Mux Selection register.
4. Write the PGA gain selection into the PGA Gain register (97h).
5. Write bits b1 and b0 of the Conversion Control Register (84h)
setting b1 to logic 1 and bit b2 to logic 0 to Perform
Continuous Conversions.
6. Allow some delay and then write bit b2 of the Conversion Control
Register (84h) to logic 1 to start the calibration process. The
calibration time will be a function of the selection made in the
Output Word Rate register. To determine when the calibration
cycle is completed the user has two options. One is to monitor
SDO/RDY for a falling edge as this signals the completion of
conversion. A second approach would be to introduce a wait
timer for at least the period of five conversion times at the word
rate selected. [Example: If the word rate is 10Sps the calibration
should be completed at 5x 1/10s or 500ms. After this time, the
microcontroller can poll bit 2 of the Conversion Control Register.
Bit b2 will be set back to logic 0 when the calibration has
completed. It is best not to poll the register continuously because
the added activity on the serial port may introduce noise and
impact the calibration result.
Read Offset Calibration Registers
After an offset calibration has been performed, the calibration
result, which is a 24-bit (3 bytes) two's complement word, is stored
FN7608 Rev 0.00
October 12, 2012
in the PGA Offset Arrays. Some user applications prefer to calibrate
their system in the factory, then off load the calibration data and
write it into non-volatile memory. Then when the product is powered
up, this data is written back into the registers of the ADC.
1. Write into the PGA Pointer register (BCh) the selection wanted
for the Gain of the PGA.
2. Read the three different PGA Offset Array registers, High byte
(3Dh), Mid byte(3Eh), and Low byte(3Fh). Note that they can
be read in any order, just understand that the three bytes
represent a two's complement 24-bit word with the byte in
order, high, mid and low.
Write Offset Calibration Registers
Upon power-up the offset registers are initialized to zero. After an
offset calibration is performed the registers associated with that
selected PGA gain will contain a valid 24-bit two's complement
number.
This number can be saved into non-volatile memory and then
written back to the PGA Offset Array register.
1. Write into the PGA Pointer register (BCh) the selection for the
Gain setting of the PGA for which offset data is to be written.
2. Write the three different PGA Offset Array registers, High byte
(BDh), Mid byte (BEh), and Low byte (BFh). Note that they can
be written in any order, just understand that the three bytes
represent a two's complement 24-bit word with the byte in
order, high, mid and low.
The value written will be subtracted from the conversion data before
it is output from the converter whenever that particular PGA Gain
setting is used. Offset values up to the equivalent of full scale of the
converter can be written but realize that this can consume dynamic
range for the actual signal if the offset value is set to a large
number.
Example Command Sequence
Table 7 illustrates an example command sequence to set up the
ADC once power supplies are active. The sequence of commands,
Set Channel Pointer, Set PGA Gain Setting, Set Mux Selection, Set
Data Rate, and Start Continuous Conversions, can be written into
the ADC as a sequence, each framed with CS going low at the
beginning of each command and returning high at the end of the
associated data byte (the rising edge of CS is the signal that actually
writes the data byte to the control register). After continuous
conversions are started, it is best if a time delay occur before the
Perform Offset Calibration is issued. There is no specific amount of
delay time as this depends upon the gain selection and the accuracy
required. When the command to perform the offset calibration is
issued, the continuous conversions in progress will be paused and
the conversion sequence will be performed as necessary to perform
the calibration. Once the calibration is completed, continuous
conversions will be automatically restarted. Any subsequent
commands which write into registers [SDO/LSPS, Output Word
Rate, Input Mux Selection, PGA Gain, Delay Timer, PGA Offset Array,
or Offset Calibration] while continuous conversions are in
progress will reset the digital filter and introduce a delay
determined by Equation 1 on page 11, after which, the SDO/RDY
signal will toggle low to signal the availability of a conversion
word.
