ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● 20-BIT EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION
The ADS1244 is a 24-bit, delta-sigma Analog-to-Digital (A/D)
converter. It offers excellent performance and very low power
in an MSOP-10 package and is well suited for demanding
high-resolution measurements, especially in portable and
other space- and power-constrained systems.
● CURRENT CONSUMPTION: 90µA
● ANALOG SUPPLY: 2.5V to 5.25V
● DIGITAL SUPPLY: 1.8V to 3.6V
● ±5V DIFFERENTIAL INPUT RANGE
● 0.0002% INL (TYP), 0.0008% INL (MAX)
● SIMPLE 2-WIRE SERIAL INTERFACE
● SIMULTANEOUS 50Hz AND 60Hz REJECTION
● SINGLE CONVERSIONS WITH SLEEP MODE
● SINGLE-CYCLE SETTLING
● SELF-CALIBRATION
● WELL-SUITED FOR MULTICHANNEL SYSTEMS
● EASILY CONNECTS TO THE MSP430
APPLICATIONS
● HAND-HELD INSTRUMENTATION
A simple, 2-wire serial interface provides all the necessary
control. Data retrieval, self-calibration, and Sleep Mode are
handled with a few simple waveforms. When only single
conversions are needed, the ADS1244 can be shut down
(Sleep Mode) while idle between measurements to dramatically reduce the overall power dissipation. Multiple ADS1244s
can be connected together to create a synchronously sampling multichannel measurement system. The ADS1244 is
designed to easily connect to microcontrollers, such as the
MSP430.
The ADS1244 supports 2.5V to 5.25V analog supplies and
1.8V to 3.6V digital supplies. Power is typically less than
270µW in normal operation and less than 1µW during Sleep
Mode.

A 3rd-order delta-sigma modulator and digital filter form the
basis of the A/D converter. The analog modulator has a ±5V
differential input range. The digital filter rejects both 50Hz
and 60Hz signals, completely settles in one cycle, and
outputs data at 15 samples per second.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits
may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its
published specifications.
NOTE: (1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings”
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to absolute maximum
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

OVERVIEW
ESD Protection
The ADS1244 is an A/D converter comprised of a 3rd-order
modulator followed by a digital filter. The modulator measures
the differential input signal VIN = (AINP – AINN) against the
differential reference VREF = (VREFP – VREFN). Figure 1
shows a conceptual diagram. The differential reference is
scaled internally so that the full-scale input range is ±2VREF.
The digital filter receives the modulator’s signal and provides
a low-noise digital output. The filter also sets the frequency
response of the converter and provides 50Hz and 60Hz
rejection while settling in a single conversion cycle. A 2-wire
serial interface indicates conversion completion and provides
the user with the output data.

ANALOG INPUTS (AINP, AINN)
The input signal to be measured is applied to the input pins
AINP and AINN. The ADS1244 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 ADS1244 is used this way, only half of the
converter’s full-scale range is used since only positive digital
output codes will be produced.
The ADS1244 measures the input signal using internal
capacitors that are continuously charged and discharged.
Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of the ADS1244’s
input circuitry with Figure 3 showing the ON/OFF timings of
the switches. S1 switches close during the input sampling
phase. With S1 closed, CA1 charges to AINP, CA2 charges to
AINN, and CB charges to (AINP – AINN). For the discharge
phase, S1 opens first and then S2 closes. CA1 and CA2
discharge to approximately AVDD/2 and CB discharges to
0V. This 2-phase sample/discharge cycle repeats with a
frequency of fCLK/128 (19.2kHz for fCLK = 2.4576MHz).
The constant charging of the input capacitors presents a load
on the inputs that can be represented by effective impedances. Figure 4 shows the input circuitry with the capacitors
and switches of Figure 2 replaced by their effective impedances. These impedances scale inversely with fCLK frequency. For example, if fCLK’s frequency is reduced by a
factor of 2, the impedances will double.

ESD diodes protect the inputs. To keep these diodes from turning
on, make sure the voltages on the input pins do not go below
GND by more than 100mV, and likewise do not exceed AVDD by
100mV: GND – 100mV < (AINP, AINN) < AVDD + 100mV.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUTS (VREFP, VREFN)
The voltage reference used by the modulator is generated
from the voltage difference between VREFP and VREFN:
VREF = VREFP – VREFN. The reference inputs use a structure
similar to that of the analog inputs. A simplified diagram of the
circuitry on the reference inputs is shown in Figure 5. The
switches and capacitors can be modeled with an effective

DATA READY/DATA OUTPUT ( DRDY/DOUT)
This digital output pin serves two purposes. It indicates when
new data is ready by going LOW. Afterwards, on the first rising
edge of SCLK, the DRDY/DOUT pin changes function and
begins outputting the conversion data, MSB first. Data is
shifted out on each subsequent SCLK rising edge. After all 24
bits have been retrieved, the pin can be forced HIGH with an
additional SCLK. It will then stay HIGH until new data is ready.
This is useful when polling on the status of DRDY/DOUT to
determine when to begin data retrieval.
VREFN
AVDD
Minimize the overshoot and undershoot on CLK for the best
analog performance. A small resistor in series with CLK (10Ω
to 100Ω) can often help. CLK can be generated from a number
of sources including stand-alone crystal oscillators and
microcontrollers. The MSP430, an ultra low power
microcontroller, is especially well suited for this task. Using the
MSP430’s FLL clock generator available on the 4xx family, it’s
easy to produce a 2.4576MHz clock from a 32.768kHz crystal.

FIGURE 5. Simplified Reference Input Circuitry.
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 < (VREFP, VREFN) < AVDD + 100mV.
VREF is typically AVDD/2, but it can be raised as high as
AVDD. When VREF exceeds AVDD/2, it will not be possible
to reach the full-scale digital output value corresponding to
±2VREF since this would require the analog inputs to exceed
the power supplies. For example, if VREF = AVDD = 5V, the
positive full-scale signal is 10V. The maximum positive input
signal that can be supplied before the ESD diodes begin to turn
on is when AINP = 5.1V and AINN = –0.1V → VIN = 5.2V.
Therefore, it will not be possible to reach the positive (or
negative) full-scale readings in this configuration. The digital
output codes will be limited to approximately one half of the
entire range.
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. There is hysteresis built
into this input, 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 less than 50ns.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The ADS1244’s frequency response for fCLK = 2.4576MHz is
shown in Figure 6. The frequency response repeats at multiples of 19.2kHz. The overall response is that of a low-pass
filter with a –3dB cutoff frequency of 13.7Hz. As can be seen,
the ADS1244 does a good job attenuating out to 19kHz. For
the best resolution, limit the input bandwidth to below this value
to keep higher frequency noise from affecting performance.
Often a simple RC filter on the ADS1244’s analog inputs is all
that is needed.

For best performance, bypass the voltage reference inputs
with a 0.1µF capacitor between VREFP and VREFN. Place
the capacitor as close as possible to the pins.

CLOCK INPUT (CLK)
This digital input supplies the system clock to the ADS1244.
The recommended CLK frequency is 2.4576MHz. This places
the notches of the digital filter at 50Hz and 60Hz and sets the
data rate at 15SPS. The CLK frequency can be increased to
speed up the data rate, but the frequency notches will move
in frequency proportionally. CLK must be left running during
normal operation. It may be turned off during Sleep Mode to
save power, but this is not required. The CLK input may be
driven with 5V logic, regardless of the DVDD or AVDD voltage.

To help see the response at lower frequencies, Figure 7
illustrates the response out to 180Hz. Notice that both 50Hz
and 60Hz signals are rejected. This feature is very useful for
eliminating power line cycle interference during measurements. Figure 8 shows the ADS1244’s response around
these frequencies.
The ADS1244’s data rate and frequency response scale
directly with CLK frequency. For example, if fCLK increases
from 2.4576MHz to 4.9152MHz, the data rate increases from
15sps to 30sps while the notches in the response at 50Hz
and 60Hz move out to 100Hz and 120Hz.

The ADS1244 has single-cycle settling. That is, the output
data is fully settled after a single conversion—there is no
need to wait for additional conversions before retrieving the
data when there is a change on the analog inputs.

In order to realize single-cycle settling, synchronize changes
on the analog inputs to the conversion beginning, which is
indicated by the falling edge of DRDY/DOUT. For example,
when using a multiplexer in front of the ADS1244, change the
multiplexer’s inputs when DRDY/DOUT goes LOW. Increasing the time between the conversion beginning and the
change on the analog inputs (tDELAY) will result in a settling
error in the conversion data, as shown in Figure 9. The
settling error versus delay time is shown in Figure 10. If the
input change is delayed to the point where the settling error
is too high, simply ignore the first data result and wait for the
second conversion which will be fully-settled.

POWER-UP
Self-calibration is performed at power-up to minimize offset and
gain errors. In order for the self-calibration at power-up to work
properly, make sure that both AVDD and DVDD increase
monotonically and are settled by t1, as shown in Figure 11.
SCLK must be held LOW during this time. Once calibration is
complete, DRDY/DOUT will go LOW indicating data is ready
for retrieval. The time required before the first data is ready (t6)
depends on how fast AVDD and DVDD ramp to their final value
(t1). For most ramp rates, t1 + t2 ≈ 350ms (fCLK = 2.4576MHz).
If the system environment is not stable during power-up (the
temperature is varying or the supply voltages are moving
around), it is recommended that a self-calibration be issued
after everything is stable.

retrieval during the update period. DRDY/DOUT will remain
at the state of the last bit shifted out until it is taken HIGH (see
t7), indicating that new data is being updated.
The ADS1244 continuously converts the analog input signal.
To retrieve data, wait until DRDY/DOUT goes LOW, as
shown in Figure 12. After this occurs, begin shifting out the
data by applying SCLKs. Data is shifted out Most Significant
Bit (MSB) first. It is not required to shift out all the 24 bits of
data, but the data must be retrieved before the new data is
updated (see t3) or else it will be overwritten. Avoid data
To avoid having DRDY/DOUT remain in the state of the last
bit, shift a 25th SCLK to force DRDY/DOUT HIGH, see
Figure 13. This technique is useful when a host controlling
the ADS1244 is polling DRDY/DOUT to determine when
data is ready.

SELF-CALIBRATION
When the calibration is complete, DRDY/DOUT will go LOW
indicating that new data is ready. There is no need to alter the
analog input signal applied to the ADS1244 during calibration,
the inputs pins are disconnected within the A/D converter and
the appropriate signals applied internally automatically. The
first conversion after a calibration is fully settled and valid for
use. The time required for a calibration depends on two
independent signals: the falling edge of SCLK and an internal
clock derived from CLK. Variations in the internal calibration
values will change the time required for calibration (t9) within
the range given by the MIN/MAX specs. t12 and t13 described
in the next section are affected likewise.
The user can initiate self-calibration at any time, though in
many applications the ADS1244’s drift performance is good
enough that the self-calibration performing automatically at
power-up is all that is needed. To initiate a self-calibration,
apply at least two additional SCLKs after retrieving 24 bits of
data. Figure 14 shows the timing pattern. The 25th SCLK will
send DRDY/DOUT HIGH. The falling edge of the 26th SCLK
will begin the calibration cycle. Additional SCLK pulses may
be sent after the 26th SCLK, but try to minimize activity on
SCLK during calibration for best results.

SLEEP MODE
Sleep Mode dramatically reduces power consumption (typically < 1µW with CLK stopped) by shutting down all of the
active circuitry. To enter Sleep Mode, simply hold SCLK
HIGH after DRDY/DOUT goes LOW, as shown in Figure 15.
Sleep Mode can be initiated at any time during read back; it
is not necessary to retrieve all 24 bits of data beforehand.
Once t11 has passed with SCLK held HIGH, Sleep Mode will
activate. DRDY/DOUT stays HIGH once Sleep Mode begins.
SCLK must remain HIGH to stay in Sleep Mode. To exit
Sleep Mode (“wakeup”), set SCLK LOW. The first data after
exiting Sleep Mode is valid. It is not necessary to stop CLK
during Sleep Mode, but doing so will further reduce the digital
supply current.
Sleep Mode With Self-Calibration
Self-calibration can be set to run immediately after exiting
Sleep Mode. This is useful when the ADS1244 is put in Sleep
Mode for long periods of time and self-calibration is desired
afterwards to compensate for temperature or supply voltage
changes.
To force a self-calibration with Sleep Mode, shift 25 bits out
before taking SCLK HIGH to enter Sleep Mode. Self-calibration will then begin after wakeup. Figure 16 shows the
appropriate timing. Note the extra time needed after wakeup
for calibration before data is ready. The first data after Sleep
Mode with self-calibration is fully-settled and can be used.
SINGLE CONVERSIONS
When only single conversions are needed, Sleep Mode can
be used to start and stop the ADS1244. To make a single
conversion, first enter the Sleep Mode holding SCLK HIGH.
Now, when ready to start the conversion, take SCLK LOW.
The ADS1244 will wake up and begin the conversion. Wait
for DRDY/DOUT to go LOW, and then retrieve the data.
Afterwards, take SCLK HIGH to stop the ADS1244 from
converting and re-enter Sleep Mode. Continue to hold SCLK
HIGH until ready to start the next conversion. Operating in
this fashion greatly reduces power consumption since the
ADS1244 is shut down while idle between conversions. Selfcalibrations can be performed prior to the start of the single
conversions by using the waveform shown in Figure 16.

SINGLE-SUPPLY OPERATION
MULTICHANNEL SYSTEMS
It is possible to operate the ADS1244 with a single supply.
For a 3V supply, simply connect AVDD and DVDD together.
Figure 17 shows an example of the ADS1244 running on a
single 5V supply. An external resistor, R1, is used to drop 5V
supply down to a desired voltage level of DVDD. For example, if the desired DVDD supply voltage is 3V and AVDD
is 5V, the value of R1 should be:
Multiple ADS1244s can be operated in parallel to measure
multiple input signals. Figure 18 shows an example of a
2-channel system. For simplicity, the supplies and reference
circuitry were not included. The same CLK signal should be
applied to all devices. To be able to synchronize the
ADS1244s, connect the same SCLK signal to all devices as
well. When ready to synchronize, place all the devices in
Sleep Mode. Afterwards, “wakeup” and all the ADS1244s will
be synchronized. That is, they will sample the input signals
simultaneously.
R1 = (5V – 3V)/4.5µA ≈ 440kΩ
where 4.5µA is a typical digital current consumption when
DVDD = 3V (refer to the typical characteristic “Digital Current
vs Digital Supply”). A buffer on DRDY/DOUT can provide
level-shifting if required.
DVDD can be set to a desired voltage by choosing a proper
value of R1, but keep in mind that DVDD must be set
between 1.8V and 3.6V. Note that the maximum logic HIGH
output of DRDY/DOUT is equal to DVDD, but both CLK and
SCLK inputs can be driven with 5V logic regardless of the
DVDD or AVDD voltage. Use 0.1µF capacitors to bypass
both AVDD and DVDD.
The DRDY/DOUT outputs will go LOW at approximately the
same time after synchronization. The falling edges indicating
that new data is ready will vary with respect to each other no
more than timing specification t14. This variation is due to
posible differences in the ADS1244’s internal calibration
settings. To account for this when using multiple devices,
either wait for t14 to pass after seeing one device’s
DRDY/DOUT go LOW, or wait until all DRDY/DOUTs have
gone LOW before retrieving data.

WEIGH SCALE SYSTEM
differential gain stage noise and reduce mechanical vibration
noise from the load cell. The cutoff frequency of the low-pass
filter should be as low as possible to minimize the overall
system noise. The reference voltage is typically generated by
dividing down the supply voltage (RVR1, RVR2). Use a bypass
capacitor located as close to VREFP as possible.
Figure 19 shows an example of a weigh scale system. OPA1,
OPA2, RG, and RF form a differential gain stage to amplify the
load cell output. The gain is equal to (1 + 2 RF/RG). Depending on the load cell, the typical gain setting is from 100 to 250.
