With an onboard low-noise programmable gain amplifier (PGA), onboard oscillator, and precision 20-bit delta-sigma ADC, the ADS1230 provides a complete front-end solution for bridge sensor applications including weigh scales, strain gauges, and pressure sensors. The low-noise PGA has a gain of 64 or 128, supporting a full-scale differential input of ±39mV or ±19.5mV, respectively. The delta-sigma ADC has 20-bit effective resolution and is comprised of a 3rd-order modulator and 4th-order digital filter. Two data rates are supported: 10SPS (with both 50Hz and 60Hz rejection) and 80SPS. The ADS1230 can be clocked by the internal oscillator or an external clock source. Offset calibration is performed on-demand, and the ADS1230 can be put in a low-power standby mode or shut off completely in power-down mode. All of the features of the ADS1230 are controlled by dedicated pins; there are no digital registers to program. Data are output over an easily-isolated serial interface that connects directly to the MSP430 and other microcontrollers. The ADS1230 is available in a TSSOP-16 package and is specified from –40°C to +85°C.

Table 1 summarizes the typical noise performance with inputs shorted externally for different data rates and voltage reference values. The RMS and Peak-to-Peak noise are referred to the input. The effective number of bits (ENOB) is defined as: ENOB = ln (FSR/RMS noise)/ln(2) The Noise-Free Bits are defined as: Noise-Free Bits = ln (FSR/Peak-to-Peak Noise)/ln(2) Where: FSR (Full-Scale Range) = VREF/Gain.

The ADS1230 provides a complete front-end solution for bridge sensor applications such as weigh scales, strain guages, and pressure sensors. 64) or 0mV to +19.5mV (Gain = 128). The inputs of the ADS1230 are protected with internal diodes connected to the power-supply rails. These diodes clamp the applied signal to prevent it from damaging the input circuitry. CAP 450W RINT AINP 18pF Clocking can be supplied by an external clock or by a precision internal oscillator. Data can be output at 10SPS for excellent 50Hz and 60Hz rejection, or at 80SPS when higher speeds are needed. The ADS1230 is easy to configure, and all digital control is accomplished through dedicated pins; there are no registers to program. A simple two-wire serial interface retrieves the data. R Gain = 1 or 2 F1 R1 A3 RF2 ADC RINT A2 450W ANALOG INPUTS (AINP, AINN) A1 AINN 18pF The input signal to be measured is applied to the input pins AINP and AINN. The ADS1230 accepts differential input signals, but can also measure unipolar signals. When measuring unipolar (or single-ended signals) with respect to ground, connect the negative input (AINN) to ground and connect the input signal to the positive input (AINP). Note that when the ADS1230 is configured this way, only half of the converter full-scale range is used, since only positive digital output codes are produced. LOW-NOISE PGA The ADS1230 features a low-drift, low-noise PGA that provides a complete front-end solution for bridge sensors. A simplified diagram of the PGA is shown in Figure 18. It consists of two chopper-stabilized amplifiers (A1 and A2) and three accurately-matched resistors (R1, RF1, and RF2), which construct a differential front-end stage with a gain of 64, followed by gain stage A3 (Gain = 1 or 2). The PGA inputs are equipped with an EMI filter, as shown in Figure 18. The cutoff frequency of the EMI filter is 19.6MHz. By using AVDD as the reference input, the bipolar input ranges from –39mV to +39mV (Gain = 64) or –19.5mV to +19.5mV (Gain = 128), and the unipolar input ranges from 0mV to +39mV (Gain = 10 CAP Figure 18. Simplified Diagram of the PGA Bypass Capacitor By applying a 0.1µF external capacitor (CEXT) across two capacitor pins combined with the internal 2kΩ resistor RINT (on-chip), a low-pass filter with a corner frequency of 720Hz is created to bandlimit the signal path before the modulator input. This low-pass filter serves two purposes. First, the input signal is bandlimited to prevent aliasing as well as to filter out the high-frequency noise. Second, it attenuates the chopping residue from the amplifier to improve temperature drift performance. It is not required to use high-quality capacitors (such as ceramic or tantalum capacitors) for a general application. However, high-quality capacitors such as poly are recommended for high-linearity applications. Submit Documentation Feedback ADS1230 www.ti.com SBAS366 – OCTOBER 2006 VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUTS (REFP, REFN) The voltage reference used by the modulator is generated from the voltage difference between REFP and REFN: VREF = REFP – REFN. The reference inputs use a structure similar to that of the analog inputs. In order to increase the reference input impedance, a switching buffer circuitry is used to reduce the input equivalent capacitance. A simplified diagram of the circuitry on the reference inputs is shown in Figure 19. The switches and capacitors can be modeled with an effective impedance of: 1 Z EFF + 2f MODC BUF Where: fMOD = modulator sampling frequency (76.8kHz) CBUF = input capacitance of the buffer For the ADS1230: 1 Z EFF + + 200MW (2)(76.8kHz)(32.5fF) REFP ESD diodes protect the reference inputs. To prevent these diodes from turning on, make sure the voltages on the reference pins do not go below GND by more than 100mV, and likewise, do not exceed AVDD by 100mV: GND – 100mV < (REFP or REFN) < AVDD + 100mV CLOCK SOURCES The ADS1230 can use an external clock source or internal oscillator to accommodate a wide variety of applications. Figure 20 shows the equivalent circuitry of the clock source. The CLK_DETECT block determines whether the crystal oscillator/external clock signal is applied to the CLKIN pin so that the internal oscillator is bypassed or activated. When the CLKIN pin frequency is above ~200kHz, the CLK_DETECT output goes low and shuts down the internal oscillator. When the CLKIN pin frequency is below ~200kHz, the CLK_DETECT output goes high and activates the internal oscillator. It is highly recommended to hard-wire the CLKIN pin to ground when the internal oscillator is chosen.

The frequency response repeats at multiples of the modulator sampling frequency of 76.8kHz. The overall response is that of a low-pass filter with a –3dB cutoff frequency of 3.32Hz with the SPEED pin tied low (10SPS data rate) and 11.64Hz with the SPEED pin tied high (80SPS data rate). -100 0 fCLK = 4.9152MHz Gain (dB) -20 -150 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 -40 Frequency (Hz) -60 (a) 70 80 90 100 -80 -100 -50 Data Rate = 10SPS -120 -140 -180 -200 0 38.4 76.8 Frequency (kHz) Gain (dB) -160 -100 Figure 21. Frequency Response To help see the response at lower frequencies, Figure 22(a) illustrates the response out to 100Hz, when the data rate = 10SPS. Notice that signals at multiples of 10Hz are rejected, and therefore simultaneous rejection of 50Hz and 60Hz is achieved. -150 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 Frequency (Hz) (b) Figure 22. Frequency Response Out To 100Hz 4 The benefit of using a sinc filter is that every frequency notch has four zeros on the same location. This response, combined with the low drift internal oscillator, provides an excellent normal-mode rejection of line-cycle interference. Figure 22(b) shows the same plot, but zooms in on the 50Hz and 60Hz notches with the SPEED pin tied low (10SPS data rate). With only a ±3% variation of the internal oscillator, over 100dB of normal-mode rejection is achieved. 12 The ADS1230 data rate and frequency response scale directly with clock frequency. For example, if fCLK increases from 4.9152MHz to 6.144MHz when the SPEED pin is tied high, the data rate increases from 80SPS to 100SPS, while notches also increase from 80Hz to 100Hz. Note that these changes are only possible when the external clock source is applied. Submit Documentation Feedback ADS1230 www.ti.com SBAS366 – OCTOBER 2006 SETTLING TIME DATA FORMAT In certain instances, large changes in input will require settling time. For example, an external multiplexer in front of the ADS1230 can put large changes in input voltage by simply switching the multiplexer input channels. Abrupt changes in the input will require four data conversion cycles to settle. When continuously converting, five readings may be necessary in order to settle the data. If the change in input occurs in the middle of the first conversion, four more full conversions of the fully-settled input are required to get fully-settled data. Discard the first four readings because they contain only partially-settled data. Figure 23 illustrates the settling time for the ADS1230 in Continuous Conversion mode. The ADS1230 outputs 20 bits of data in binary two’s complement format. The least significant bit (LSB) has a weight of 0.5VREF/(219 – 1). The positive full-scale input produces an output code of 7FFFFh and the negative full-scale input produces an output code of 800000h. The output clips at these codes for signals exceeding full-scale. Table 4 summarizes the ideal output codes for different input signals. The ADS1230 is a 20-bit ADC. After data conversion is completed, applying 20 SCLKs retrieves 20 bits of data (MSB first). However, if the SCLKs continue to be applied after 20 bits of data are retrieved, the DOUT pin outputs four 1s for the 21st through the 24th SCLK, as shown in Figure 24. Table 4. Ideal Output Code vs Input Signal(1) DATA RATE The ADS1230 data rate is set by the SPEED pin, as shown in Table 3. When SPEED is low, the data rate is nominally 10SPS. This data rate provides the lowest noise, and also has excellent rejection of both 50Hz and 60Hz line-cycle interference. For applications requiring fast data rates, setting SPEED high selects a data rate of nominally 80SPS.

Data Retrieval Format Submit Documentation Feedback 13 ADS1230 www.ti.com SBAS366 – OCTOBER 2006 DATA READY/DATA OUTPUT (DRDY/DOUT) DATA RETRIEVAL This digital output pin serves two purposes. First, it indicates when new data are ready by going low. Afterwards, on the first rising edge of SCLK, the DRDY/DOUT pin changes function and begins outputting the conversion data, most significant bit (MSB) first. Data are shifted out on each subsequent SCLK rising edge. After all 20 bits have been retrieved, the pin can be forced high with an additional SCLK. It then stays high until new data are ready. This configuration is useful when polling on the status of DRDY/DOUT to determine when to begin data retrieval. The ADS1230 continuously converts the analog input signal. To retrieve data, wait until DRDY/DOUT goes low, as shown in Figure 25. After DRDY/DOUT goes low, begin shifting out the data by applying SCLKs. Data are shifted out MSB first. It is not required to shift out all 20 bits of data, but the data must be retrieved before new data are updated (within tCONV) or else the data will be overwritten. Avoid data retrieval during the update period (tUPDATE). If 24 SCLKs have been applied, DRDY/DOUT will be high since the last four bits have been appended by '1'. However, if only 20 SCLKs have been applied, DRDY/DOUT remains at the state of the last bit shifted out until it is taken high (see tUPDATE), indicating that new data are being updated. To avoid having DRDY/DOUT remain in the state of the last bit, the 21st SCLK can be applied to force DRDY/DOUT high, as shown in Figure 26. This technique is useful when a host controlling the device is polling DRDY/DOUT to determine when data are ready. SERIAL CLOCK INPUT (SCLK) This digital input shifts serial data out with each rising edge. As with CLK, this input may be driven with 5V logic regardless of the DVDD or AVDD voltage. This input has built-in hysteresis, but care should still be taken to ensure a clean signal. Glitches or slow-rising signals can cause unwanted additional shifting. For this reason, it is best to make sure the rise and fall times of SCLK are both less than 50ns. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback ADS1230 www.ti.com SBAS366 – OCTOBER 2006 Data a) 20 Bits of Data Retrieval New Data Ready Data Ready MSB DRDY/DOUT LSB 19 17 18 0 tPD tHT tDS tSCLK tUPDATE 1 SCLK 20 tSCLK tCONV Data b) 24 Bits of Data Retrieval New Data Ready Data Ready MSB DRDY/DOUT LSB 19 18 17 0 4 tHT tPD tDS tUPDATE tSCLK 1 SCLK 3 2 1 20 21 22 23 24 tSCLK tCONV Figure 25.

When the calibration is completed, DRDY/DOUT goes low, indicating that new data are ready. The first conversion after a calibration is fully settled and valid for use. The offset calibration takes exactly the same time as specified in (tCAL) immediately after the falling edge of the 26th SCLK. Offset calibration can be initiated at any time to remove the ADS1230 inherited offset error. To initiate offset calibration, apply at least two additional SCLKs after retrieving 20 bits of data plus four bits of '1'. Figure 27 shows the timing pattern. The 25th SCLK keeps DRDY/DOUT high. The falling edge of the 26th SCLK begins the calibration cycle. Additional SCLK pulses may be sent after the 26th SCLK; however, activity on SCLK should be minimized during offset calibration for best results.

Submit Documentation Feedback ADS1230 www.ti.com SBAS366 – OCTOBER 2006 STANDBY MODE When tSTANDBY has passed with SCLK held high, Standby mode activates. DRDY/DOUT stays high when Standby mode begins. SCLK must remain high to stay in Standby mode. To exit Standby mode (wakeup), set SCLK low. The first data after exiting Standby mode is valid. Standby mode dramatically reduces power consumption by shutting down most of the circuitry. In Standby mode, the entire analog circuitry is powered down and only the clock source circuitry is awake to reduce the wake-up time from the Standby mode. To enter Standby mode, simply hold SCLK high after DRDY/DOUT goes low; see Figure 28. Standby mode can be initiated at any time during readback; it is not necessary to retrieve all 20 bits of data beforehand.

Offset-calibration then begins after wake-up; Figure 29 shows the appropriate timing. Note the extra time needed after wake-up for calibration before data are ready. The first data after Standby mode with offset-calibration is fully settled and can be used right away. Offset-calibration can be set to run immediately after exiting Standby mode. This option is useful when the ADS1230 is put in Standby mode for long periods of time, and offset-calibration is desired afterwards to compensate for temperature or supply voltage changes.

In this setup, the ADS1230 is configured at a 10SPS data rate. Note that the internal oscillator is used by grounding the CLKIN pin. The user can also apply a 4.9152MHz clock to the CLKIN pin. For a typical 2mV/V load cell, the maximum output signal is approximately 10mV for a single +5V excitation voltage. The ADS1230 can achieve 17.5 noise-free bits at 10SPS when PGA = 128. With the extra software filtering/averaging (typically done by a microprocessor), an extra bit can be expected. LC AD Where: BITEFF = effective noise-free bits (17.5 + 1 bit from software filtering/averaging) FSLC = full-scale output of the load cell (10mV) FSAD = full-scale input of the ADS1230 (39mV, when PGA = 128) Therefore: ǒ With +5V supply voltage, 95,058 noise-free counts can be expected from the ADS1230. 2.7V to 5.3V 0.1mF 12 1 AVDD 10 5 CAP DRDY/DOUT 6 - CAP SCLK + ADS1230 7 8 VDD DVDD REFP 0.1mF PDWN 16 15 14 AINP AINN GAIN CLKIN SPEED MSP430x4xx or Other Microprocessor 4 3 13 9 REFN AGND 11 DGND 2, 4 Figure 31.
