FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
The PGA280 is a high-precision instrumentation
amplifier with digitally-controllable gain and signal
integrity test capability. This device offers low offset
voltage, near-zero offset and gain drift, excellent
linearity, and nearly no 1/f noise with superior
common-mode and supply rejection to support
high-resolution precision measurement. The 36V
supply capability and wide, high-impedance input
range comply with requirements for universal signal
measurement.

Special circuitry prevents inrush currents from
multiplexer (MUX) switching. In addition, the input
switch matrix enables easy reconfiguration and
system-level diagnostics—overload conditions are
indicated.
The configurable general-purpose input/output
(GPIO) offers several control and communication
features. The SPI can be expanded to communicate
with more devices, supporting isolation with only four
ISO couplers. The PGA280 is available in a
TSSOP-24 package and is specified from –40°C to
+105°C.

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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
The PGA280 is a universal high-voltage instrumentation amplifier with digital gain control. It offers excellent dc
precision and long-term stability using modern chopper technology with internal filters that minimize
chopper-related noise. The input gain extends from ⅛V/V (attenuation) to 128V/V in binary steps. The output
stage offers a gain multiplying factor of 1V/V and 1⅜V/V for optimal gain adjustment. The output stage connects
to the low-voltage (5V or 3V) supply. Figure 43 shows a block diagram of the device.

A signal multiplexer provides two differential inputs. Several signal switches allow signal diagnosis of wire break,
input disconnect, single-ended (versus differential), and shorted inputs.
The supply voltage of up to ±18V offers a wide common-mode range with high input impedance; therefore, large
common-mode noise signals and offsets can be suppressed.
A pair of high-speed current buffers can be activated to avoid inrush currents during fast signal transients, such
as those generated from switching the signal multiplexers. This feature minimizes discharge errors in passive
signal input filters in front of the multiplexer.
The fully differential signal output matches the inputs of modern high-resolution and high-accuracy
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), including Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) as well as successive-approximation response
(SAR) converters. The supply voltage for the output stage is normally connected together with the converter
supply, thus preventing signal overloads from the high-voltage analog supply.
Internal error detection in the input and output stage provides individual information about the signal condition.
Integrating ADCs may hide momentary overloads. Together with the input switch matrix, extensive signal and
error diagnosis is made possible.
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) provides write and read access to internal registers. These registers control
gain, the current buffer, input switches, and the general-purpose input/output (GPIO) or special function pins, as
well as configuration and diagnostics.
The GPIO port controls the multiplexer (MUX) and switches and indicates internal conditions; it can also be
individually configured for output or input. A special CS mode for the GPIO extends the communication to other
external SPI devices, such as data converters or shift registers. This special function is intended for SPI
communication via a minimum number of isolation couplers. Additional proof for communication integrity is
provided by an optional checksum byte following each communication block.

FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS
Both high-impedance input amplifiers are symmetrical, and have low noise and excellent dc precision. These
amplifiers are connected to a resistor network and provide a gain range from 128V/V down to an attenuation of
⅛. The PGA280 architecture rejects common-mode offsets and noise over a wide bandwidth.
The PGA280 features additional current buffers placed in front of the precision amplifier that can be activated on
demand. When activated, these additional current buffers avoid problems that result from input current during
dynamic overloads, such as the fast signal transient that follows the channel switching from a multiplexer.
Without the use of the additional current buffers, the fast signal transient would overload the precision amplifiers
and high bias currents could flow into the protection clamp until the amplifiers recover from the overload. This
momentary current can influence the signal source or passive filters in front of the multiplexer and generate long
settling tails. Activating this current buffer avoids such an overload current pulse. The buffer disconnects
automatically after an adjustable time. For continuous signal measurement, the additional current buffers are not
used.
The switches in the input provide signal diagnostic capability and offer an auxiliary input channel (INP2 and
INN2; see Figure 44). Both channels can be switched to diagnose or test conditions, such as a ground-referred,
single-ended voltage measurement for either input. In this mode, each of the signal inputs can be observed to
analyze common-mode offsets and noise.
The primary input channel [INP1 and INN1] provides switches and current sources for a wire break test. A switch
can short both inputs. It can also discharge a filter capacitor after a wire break test, for example.
The signal inputs are diode-clamped to the supply rails. External resistors can be placed in series to the inputs to
provide overvoltage protection. Current into the input pins should be limited to ≤ 10mA.
The output stage offers a fully-differential signal around the output reference pin, VOCM. The VOCM pin is a
high-impedance input and expects an external voltage, typically close to midsupply. The 3V or 5V supply of the
converter or amplifier, following the PGA280 outputs, is normally connected to VSOP and VSON; this
configuration shares a common supply voltage and protects the circuit from overloads. The fully-differential signal
avoids coupling of noise and errors from the supply and ground, and allows large signal swing without the risk of
nonlinearities that arise when driving near the supply rails.
The PGA280 signal path has several test points for critical overload conditions. The input amplifiers detect signal
overvoltage and overload as a result of high gain. The output stage also detects clipping. These events are
filtered with adjustable suppression delays and then stored for readout. A GPIO pin can be dedicated for external
indication either as an interrupt or in a monitor mode.
A serial peripheral interface (SPI) controls the gain setting and switches, as well as the operation modes and the
GPIO port pins. The SPI allows read and write access to the internal registers. These registers contain
conditions, flags, and settings, as described in the SPI and Register Description section. They represent the gain
setting for the input stage from 128V/V to the attenuation of ⅛V/V in binary steps and the output stage gain of
1V/V and 1.375V/V (1⅜). The input MUX and switches and the input buffers are also controlled by registers.
Internal error conditions are stored and may be masked to activate an external pin in the GPIO port.
This GPIO port can be configured individually for either input or output or for a special function. In special
function mode, the port indicates an error condition, generates CS signal, controls an external MUX, and
connects to the buffer control and oscillator.
The port pin can act as a CS for an external SPI device. This mode connects other SPI devices [such as an
analog-to-digital (A/D) converter] to the primary four-wire SPI. This feature is especially desirable when using
galvanically-isolated SPI communication. An optional checksum byte further improves communications integrity.

Switches A and B select the signal input. Input 1 (INP1 and INN1) provides two current sources and two switches
that connect to VSON (which is typically the analog ground). This configuration is intended for wire break
diagnosis. D12 can discharge an external capacitor or generate a starting condition.
Switches C1 and C2 are used to measure the input voltage referred to GND (VSON); for example, with A1 and
C2 closed. This scheme measures the voltage signal connected to the input pin (INP1) referred to a common
ground. The BUF output is protected against a short to VSON. See the SPI and Register Description section for
more information about switch control.
Input Amplifier, Gain Network and Buffer
The high-precision input amplifiers present very low dc error and drift as a result of a modern chopper technology
with an embedded synchronous filter that removes virtually all chopping noise. This topology reduces flicker
noise to a minimum and therefore enables the precise measurement of small dc-signals with high resolution,
accuracy, and repeatability. The chopper frequency of 250kHz is derived from an internal 1MHz clock. An
external clock can also be connected, if desired.
The gain network for the binary gain steps connects to the input amplifiers, thus providing the best possible
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and dc accuracy up to the highest gains. Gain is controlled by Register 0. This
register can control the gain and address for an external MUX in one byte. Selectable gains (in V/V) are : 128,
64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, ½, ¼, and ⅛. The gain is set to 1/8V/V after device reset or power-on.

Programmable gain amplifiers such as the PGA280 use internal resistors to set the gain. Consequently,
quiescent current is increased by the current that passes through these resistors. The largest amplitude could
increase the supply current by ±0.4mA. In maximum overload, gain of 128V/V and each or the inputs connected
to the opposite supply voltage, a current of approximately 27mA was measured. External resistors in series with
the input pins that are normally present avoid this extreme condition. This current is only limited by the internal
600Ω and the switch-on resistance (see Figure 44).
Current Buffer
Designed for highest accuracy and low noise, both amplifier inputs are protected from dynamic overvoltages
through clamps. The amplifier fast input slew rate (approximately 1V/µs) normally prevents these clamps from
turning on, provided adequate signal filtering is placed before the input. However, the fast channel
switching-transient of a multiplexer or switch is much steeper, and cannot be filtered; this type of transient
generates a dynamic overload. The current buffers (BUF) prevent this dynamic overload condition of the input.
With the buffers not activated, Figure 45 indicates the clamp current flowing as a result of a fast signal change.
The ramp in the signal, measured at the input pins (INP1), is the resulting voltage drop across the 1.5kΩ resistor.
In the example measurement, this resistor is placed between the signal generator and the input pin of the
PGA280.

Figure 46 shows a typical block diagram for multiplexed data acquisition. The transient from channel 1 to channel
2 , shown as a voltage step, dynamically overloads the amplifier. A current pulse results from the input protection
clamp. Without the activation of the buffers (see BUF, Figure 44), the clamp current charges the filter and the
signal source. Input low-pass filters are often set to settling times in the millisecond range; therefore, discharge
currents from dynamic overload would produce long settling delays.

Figure 46. Typical Block Diagram for Multiplexed Data Acquisition
Together with the switching command of the multiplexer or internal switching, the current buffers (BUF) can be
activated to prevent such clamp currents. The buffers do not have clamps as long as the signal remains within
the supply boundaries. Figure 47 shows an example of the input signal settling for both conditions: without and
with the buffer activated.

The buffers turn off automatically after a preset time (see Register 3, BUFTIM). They are activated from bit 5 ('T')
within the command byte. They can also be triggered by an external pin (BUFTin on GPIO4). The BUFA bit is
active in conjunction with the buffer, indicating that the buffer is busy (see Figure 55).
Error detection circuits observe the signal path for signal overvoltage (IOVerr), amplifier output clipping (IARerr),
and gain overload (GAINerr). The Input Clamp Activation indicator ICAerr indicates that current was conducted
into the dynamic clamp circuit. These indicators help prevent misinterpretation of the analog signal and diagnose
critical input signal conditions, such as those that occur with integrating analog-to-digital converters that may hide
momentary overloads and present inaccurate results.
The buffers (BUF) prevent current flowing from the signal source with a compromise of offset voltage. As soon as
the buffers are turned off, the amplifiers settle back to high precision. For signal measurement without
(multiplexer) switching transients, the buffer is not used.
Input Protection
The input terminals are protected with internal diodes connected to VSP and VSN. If the input signal voltage
exceeds the power-supply voltage (VSP and VSN), the current should be limited to less than 10mA to protect the
internal clamp diodes. This current-limiting can generally be accomplished with a series input resistor.
EMI Susceptibility
Amplifiers vary in susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI), but good layout practices play a critical
role. EMI can generally be identified as a variation in offset voltage shifts. The PGA280 has been specifically
designed to minimize susceptibility to EMI by incorporating an internal low-pass filter. Additional EMI filters may
be required next to the signal inputs of the system, as well as known good practices such as using short traces,
low-pass filters, and damping resistors combined with parallel and shielded signal routing, depending on the end
system requirements.
Output Stage
The output stage power is connected to the low-voltage supply (normally 3V or 5V) that is used by the
subsequent signal path of the system. This design prevents overloading of the low-voltage signal path.
The output signal is fully differential around a common-mode voltage (VOCM). The VOCM input pin is typically
connected to midsupply voltage to offer the widest signal amplitude range. VOCM is a high-impedance input that
requires an external connection to a voltage within the supply boundaries. The usable voltage range for the
VOCM input is specified in the Electrical Characteristics and must be observed.
The output stage can be set to a gain of 1V/V and 1⅜V/V. It is set to 1V/V after device reset or power-on, and is
controlled by the gain multiplication factor.
Both signal outputs, VOP and VON, swing symmetrically around VOCM. The signal is represented as the voltage
between the two outputs and does not require an accurate VOCM. Therefore, the signal output does not include
ground noise or grounding errors. Noise or drift on VOCM is normally rejected by the common-mode rejection
capability of the subsequent signal stage.
The signal that passes through the output stage is internally monitored for two error conditions: clipping of the
signal to the supply rail and overcurrent. In fault conditions, an error flag bit is set (OUTerr).

Output Filter
The PGA280 uses chopper technology for excellent dc stability over temperature and life of operation. It also
avoids 1/f frequency (flicker) noise, and therefore enables both high resolution and high repeatability for dc
measurements. While the chopper noise components are internally filtered, a minimal residual amount of
high-frequency switching noise appears at the signal outputs. An external, passive, low-pass filter after the output
stage is recommended to remove this switching noise; Figure 48 shows two examples. This filter can also be
used to isolate or decouple the charge switching pulses of an A/D converter input.

Single-Ended Output
The output stage of PGA280 is designed for highest precision. The fully-differential output avoids grounding
errors and noise, and delivers twice the signal amplitude compared to single-ended signals. However, if desired,
the output can be taken single-ended from one of the output pins referred to the voltage at the VOCM pin. The
output stage errors now relate to half the signal amplitude and half the signal gain. The unused output is
unconnected, but not disconnected from error detection. The usable voltage range for the VOCM input is
specified in the Electrical Characteristics and must be observed: the output swing (of both outputs) should not
saturate to the supply. Separate specifications for offset voltage and drift indicate higher offset voltage at lower
gains, because some error sources are not cancelled in the output stage connected in single-ended mode. Note
that the gain is one-half of the gain set in reference to the gain table (see Table 2).
Error Detection
The PGA280 is designed for high dc precision and universal use, but it also allows monitoring of signal integrity.
The device contains an input switch network for signal tests and sense points that can indicate critical conditions.
These added features support fully automated system setup and diagnostic capability. Out-of linear range
conditions are detected and stored in the Error Status Register (Register 4) until reset. The input switches shown
in Figure 44 can be used to short the input to GND, disconnect the signal, insert a 100µA test current, discharge
external capacitance, and switch to a ground (VSON)-referenced signal measurement to observe the signal at
the pin (versus the differential measurement). Figure 49 illustrates the diagnostic points available for error
detection in the device architecture.
All switches are controlled through the SPI. The error signals can be combined using a logic OR function to an
output pin and eventually be used as an error interrupt signal. Errors are normally latched, unless the LTD bit
(latch disable) is set.
The error sensors are filtered with a suppression delay (Register 11). These error signals are normally
suppressed during the buffer (BUFA) active time.

ERROR INDICATORS
Input Clamp Conduction (ICAerr)
The input clamp protects the precision input amplifier from large voltages between the inputs that occur from a
fast signal slew rate in the input. This clamp circuit pulls current from the input pins while active. Current flowing
through the clamp can influence the signal source and cause long settling delays on passive signal filters. The
current is limited by internal resistors of approximately 2.4kΩ. Dynamic overload can result from the difference
signal as well as the common-mode signal.
The input clamp turns on when the input signal slew rate is faster than the amplifier slew rate (see the Electrical
Characteristics specification) and larger than ±1V. Appropriate input filtering avoids the activation. However,
transients from MUX switching, internal switches, and gain switching action cannot be filtered; therefore, to avoid
these transients, it is recommended that the current buffer (BUF) be activated. The buffer isolates the signal input
from the clamp, and therefore avoids the current pulse (see Figure 44).
Input Overvoltage (IOVerr)
The input amplifier can only operate at high performance within a certain input voltage range to the supply rail.
The IOVerr flag indicates a loss of performance because of the input voltage or the amplifier output approaching
the rail.
Gain Network Overload (GAINerr)
The gain setting network is protected against overcurrent conditions that arise because of an improper gain
setting. The current into the resistors is proportional to the voltage between both inputs and the internal resistor;
a low resistor value results in high gains. This error flag indicates such an overload condition that is the result of
an improper gain setting.
Output Amplifier (OUTerr)
The output stage is monitored for signal clipping to the supply rail and for overcurrent conditions.

CheckSum Error (CRCerr)
SPI communication can include a checksum byte for increased data integrity, when enabled. It is especially
useful for an isolated SPI. This error detection is only active with the checksum activated. See the Checksum
section for details.
POWER SUPPLY
The PGA280 can connect to three supply voltages: the high-voltage analog supply, the low-voltage output
amplifier supply, and the digital I/O supply. This architecture allows an optimal interface (level-shift) to the
different supply domains.
The high-voltage analog supply, VSP and VSN, powers the high-voltage input section. The substrate of the IC is
connected to VSN; therefore, it must be connected to the most negative potential.
The low-voltage analog output supply, VSOP and VSON, can operate within the high-voltage supply boundaries
with two minimal limitations:
1. The usable range for VSON is from a minimum 5V below VSP to as low as VSN. This 5V provides the
headroom for the output supply voltage of +2.7V to +5V. Even with less than 5V supply, this voltage
difference is required for proper operation.
2. The common-mode control input, VOCM, requires a voltage at least 2V from VSP, in order to support
internal rail-to-rail performance.
These limits may only come into consideration when using a minimum supply or an extremely asymmetrical
high-voltage supply. In most practical cases, VSON is connected to the ground of the system 3V or 5V supply.
VSOP can be turned on first or can be higher than VSP without harm, but operation fails if VSP and VSN are not
present.
Observe the maximum voltage applied between VSOP and VSON, because there is no internal protection. This
consideration is the same as with other standard operational amplifier devices.
The digital supply, DGND and DVDD, can also be set within the boundaries of VSP and VSN. Only the positive
supply, DVDD, cannot be closer than 1V below VSP. It can be turned on without the analog supply being present
and is operational, but limited to digital functions in this case. The maximum supply voltage must be observed
because there is no internal protection. VSOP and VSON can be connected with DVDD and DGND, if desired.
Current consumption of the digital supply is very low under static conditions, but increases with communications
activity. Assuming no external load except the 20pF load to SDO, with an SCLK = 10MHz and a 3V supply, the
current momentarily increases by approximately 0.6mA when reading a register (for example, reading Register
14). With a 5V digital supply, the increase is in the range of 0.8mA. This additional current is only required during
communication; a larger bypass capacitor can supply this current. Driving current into SDO would further
increase the current demand.
VSN is connected to the substrate; therefore, the voltage at VSON or DGND must not turn on the substrate
diode to VSN. Use external Schottky diodes from VSON to VSN and from DGND to VSN (refer to Figure 50) to
prevent such a condition.
The PGA280 uses an internal chopper technology and therefore works best with good supply decoupling. Series
resistors in the supply are recommended to build an RC low-pass filter. With the small supply current, these
series resistors can be in the range of 15Ω to 22Ω. The RC filter also prevents a very fast rise time of the supply
voltage, thus avoiding parasitic currents in the IC. Connecting supply wires into an already-turned on supply (very
fast rise time) without such a filter can damage the IC as a result of voltage overshoot and parasitic charge
currents. Figure 50 shows an example of a supply connection using RC bypass filters. DVDD may not need
decoupling, but if the digital supply is noisy, a filter is recommended at C4 and R4.
NOTE
Rise and fall times for the high-voltage supplies must be slower than 1V/μs.

Note:

values.
Figure 50. Supply Connection Example Using RC Bypass Filters for Good Decoupling
External Clock Synchronization
The PGA280 uses an internal oscillator of 1MHz, nominally. This clock can be brought out to pin GPIO6 if
configured by the internal register setting to allow synchronization of external systems to this clock. If the
PGA280 must be controlled by an external clock, GPIO06 can be configured as an oscillator input, thus
overriding the internal oscillator. The frequency range must be within the specified range shown in the Electrical
Characteristics in order to maintain stable device performance. The clock pulse width is not critical, because it is
internally divided down; however, less than 30% deviation is recommended. The GPIO6 input assumes a
standard logic signal. Prevent overshoot at this pin, and provide approximately equal rise and fall time for the
lowest influence on offset voltage as a result of coupled noise.
Expect a small amount of additional noise during the transition from internal to external clock, or vice-versa, for
approximately eight clock periods because of phase mismatch.
Quiescent Current
The PGA280 uses internal resistor networks and switches to set the signal gain. Consequently, the current
through the resistor network may vary with the gain and signal amplitude. Under normal operation, the
gain-related current is low (less than 400μA). However, in signal overload conditions while a high gain is
selected, this amount of current can increase.
Settling Time
The PGA280 provides very low drift and low noise, and therefore allows repeatable settling to a precise value
with a negligible tail. Signal-related load and power dissipation variables have minimal effect on the device
accuracy.
Overload Recovery
Overload conditions can vary widely, and there are multiple points in an instrumentation amplifier that can be
overloaded. During input overload, the PGA280 folds the output signal partially back as a result of the differential
signal structure and summing, but the error flags indicate such fault conditions. The amplifier recovers safely
after removing the overload condition, as long as it is within the specified operating range as shown in Figure 51.
Avoid dynamic overload by using adequate signal filtering that reduces the input slew rate to the slew rate of the
amplifier. Fast signal jumps produced from multiplexed signal sources or gain changes cannot normally be
filtered, but the current buffer (BUF) stage can be activated to prevent current flowing through the input into the
protection clamp in such situations.

SPI and Register Description
The serial peripheral interface uses four wires: CS (input), clock (SCLK, input), data in (SDI, or slave data input),
and data out (SDO, or slave data output) and operates as a slave.
CS is active low; data are sampled with the negative clock edge. It is insensitive to the starting condition of SCLK
polarity (SPOL = 1 or 0). See Figure 52 and Figure 53.
The SPI communicates to the internal registers, starting with a byte for command and address. It is followed by a
single data byte (exception: 11tx 0ccc requires no data byte). The communication can include a checksum byte.
When enabled, this byte follows the last valid byte. Either power on reset or software reset (SftwrRst) disables
the checksum mode. Writing to Register 11 enables or disables checksum mode.
On a read command, the device responds with the data byte and the checksum byte. If the checksum is not
desired, setting CS to high terminates the transmission.
Multiple commands can be chained by holding CS low and sending the additional commands after the checksum
byte (if checksum is disabled, send a dummy byte). In this mode, read and write instructions can be mixed.
This interface allows clock rates up to 10MHz. Such high clock rates require careful board layout, short wire
lengths, and low parasitic capacitance and inductance. Observe delays and distortion generated from isolation
couplers. External drivers may be required to drive long and terminated cables.

COMMAND STRUCTURE AND REGISTER OVERVIEW
Bit 7 is the most significant bit (MSB); bit 0 is the least significant bit (LSB). Binary numbers are denoted with 'b'.
'aaaa' is used to denote the encoded register pointer, 0000b to 1111b. 'T' denotes the buffer trigger bit. Writing to
unassigned bits is ignored, but it is recommend to write a '0' for all unassigned bits. PGA280 registers,
addresses, and functional information are summarized in the Register Map (Table 1).
Command Byte
01T0 aaaa dddd dddd: Write
Write 'dddd dddd' to internal PGA280 register at address aaaa
1000 aaaa 0000 0000: Read
Read from specified internal PGA280 register at address aaaa [no BUFT on read]. The number of trailing
zeros provides the clock for reading data. 16 SCLK pulses are required when reading the data byte plus
checksum.
00T0 aaaa:
Factory-reserved commands.
11T0 0ccc: Direct CS Command
Controls CS to pin (all pins are CS-capable, but not simultaneously; only one at a time) for ccc = 0 to 6,
corresponding to GPIO0 to GPIO6, if CS mode is activated.
Within the command byte, T = 1 triggers the current buffer (BUF). Each command is terminated with setting CS
to high; commands can be chained within a period of CS active low, but require a checksum byte, or a dummy
byte when checksum mode is disabled.
NOTE
BUF cannot be triggered during a read command.
Here are several examples (discrete commands):

The PGA280 sends the CHKsum, if clocks are available while CS: Send 0x830000.
Response: 0xzz1937
Write Register 0:
Send 0x4018; set gain to 1V/V.
Write Register 4:

Extended CS
The PGA280 can generate an extended chip select (ECS) for other devices that are connected to the same SPI
wires: SDO, SDI, and SCLK. This ECS signal redirects the SPI communication to the connected device, while
the PGA280 ignores data and SCLK. The CS signal to the PGA280 must stay low during such communication;
as soon as CS returns high, SPI communication is terminated. See the GPIO Operation Mode section for details.

GPIO Pin Reference
As shown in Figure 54, the PGA280 has seven multi-function pins labeled GPIO0 through GPIO6. These pins
can function as general purpose input-output (GPIO) pins either to read a digital input or to output a digital signal
as an interrupt or control. GPIO functions are controlled through Register 5 and Register 8.
These pins can also be programmed to have additional special functions for the PGA280. Each of these seven
pins can be used as an output for the extended chip select function (ECS), using the PGA280 to redirect the SPI
communications to other connected devices. CS Configuration Mode is enabled through Register 9. Additionally,
Register 2 controls the clock polarity (CP) of each ECS. For each bit set to '1', a positive edge of SCLK follows
CS (CP = 0); for each bit set to '0', a negative edge of SCLK follows CS (CP = 1).
Together with the GPIO and ECS functions, the seven pins can perform more specialized input and output tasks
as controlled by Register 12, the Special Functions Register.
GPIO0, GPIO1, and GPIO2 can be used to control an external multiplexer. If the MUX function is enabled in the
first three bits of Register 12, the output value on the MUX pins is controlled through Register 0. This
configuration allows for simultaneous control of the PGA280 gain and external multiplexer settings by writing to a
single register.
GPIO3 can be used to output an error flag. As with bit 3 of Register 4, this option would be the logical OR of the
error bits in Register 10 (IARerr, ICAerr, OUTerr, GAINerr, and IOVerr).
GPIO4 can be used as an input to trigger the current buffer. The low-to-high edge of a pulse starts the buffer with
a delay of three to four clock cycles. If held high, the buffer [BUFA] remains active. It is extended by a minimum
of three to four clock cycles in addition to the time set with FLAGTIM.
GPIO5 can be configured as an output to indicate a buffer active condition. The polarity is controlled by BUFApol
of bit 5 in Register 10.
GPIO6 can be configured as either an output or an input with the Special Functions Register. With Bit 7,
OSCOUT connects the internal oscillator to GPIO6. With Bit 6, SYNCIN allows an external oscillator to provide
the master clock to the PGA280.
To use any of these functions, Register 8 must first be set to '0' for input or to '1' for an output (for GPIO, ECS, or
special function).
Once set, any 1s in Register 9 supersede the GPIO function for the related pin, allowing for CS configuration.
Likewise, any 1s in Register 12 supersede the GPIO function and CS configuration, allowing for any of the
pin-specific special functions to operate.

OSCout: Internal oscillator connected to pin GPIO6 for output (GPIO6 configured as an output).
SYNCin: External connection for external oscillator input to pin GPIO6 (GPIO6 configured as an input).
BUFAout: Pin GPIO5 indicates a buffer active condition (if configured as an output). The BUFA output signal
is active high by default, but can be inverted to active low by BUFA Pol.
BUFTin: The current buffer can be triggered externally by pin GPIO4, if configured as an input. The
low-to-high edge of a pulse starts the buffer with a delay of three to four clock cycles. If held high, the buffer
[BUFA] remains active. It is extended by a minimum of three to four clock cycles plus the time set with
FLAGTIM.
EFout: A logic OR combination of error bits; see Register 10. This flag can control GPIO3 if this pin is
configured as an output and EFout = 1.
MUX2 to MUX0: If the GPIO pins are configured as outputs and these bits are set to '1', the GPIO pins are
controlled from Register 0 (if MUX-D = 0).
GPIO Configuration
Register priority: If GPIO pins are used, follow this procedure:
First, configure individual I/O bits as either inputs or outputs (Register 8); '0' = input, '1' = output. Bits B0 to
B6 are connected to GPIO0 to GPIO6, respectively.
Then, configure individual bits to the desired function. When configuring for output, set the Data Register
(Register 5) first to avoid glitches.
To configure the GPIO pins for the CS function (see Register 9):
• Configure ECS ('0' = disable, '1' = enable). If set to '1' and the I/O configuration is set to output as well, this
pin becomes ECS. Details of this configuration are described in GPIO Operation Mode, CS Mode.
• Configure for clock polarity (CP), relative to ECS in Register 2; see Register 9. Set this bit to '0': a negative
edge of SCLK follows ECS (CP = 1). Set this bit to '1': a positive edge of SCLK follows ECS (CP = 0).
• Configure for special function (Register 12): Special function signals can be assigned to the GPIO pins in this
manner: 0 = disable, 1 = enable. Pins xxout must be configured as outputs, and xxin must be configured as
inputs in Register 8.
• GPIO data to force (Register 5) GPIO data (1 = low, 0 = high). Forcing a bit, which is assigned to a special
function, may be stored until GPIO is enabled.
NOTE
Data may be stored in internal registers and therefore may show on a given GPIO pin
after the configuration is changed.

Buffer Timing
The buffer is used to isolate fast transients from the overload protection of the high-precision amplifier. It avoids
current into the overload clamp. Fast transients result from the switching transient of a signal multiplexer or a
gain change; these transients cannot be filtered in the signal path.
The buffer can be turned on by software using the 'T' bit in the SPI command or by activating a GPIO pin. The
on-time of the buffer is set in Register 3 (BUFTIM).
If controlled by software command, the buffer turns active (indicated by BUFA shown in Figure 55) with the last
falling edge of SCLK.
Controlling an external MUX through Register 0 activates the GPIO pins after the rising edge of CS, providing an
extra delay.
Alternatively, the buffer can be controlled by GPIO4, after configuration (Register 8, bit 4 = 0, and 0x4C10). A
rising edge triggers the buffer with a delay of three to four clock cycles. If held high, the buffer [BUFA] remains
active. It is extended by a minimum of three to four clock cycles plus FLAGTIM.
The buffer active condition can be observed at GPIO5, after configuration for output and special function
(0x4820, 0x4C20). The time reference is the end of CS. The buffer is turned on with the 16th falling edge of the
SCLK and writing to Register 0 (0x6018). BUFA stays high for 6μs (BUFTIM0) after CS.

GPIO Operation Mode
The six GPIO port pins can be configured individually in several modes: as inputs or outputs; a special CS mode;
and a connection to the PGA280 internal special function register that contains control signals or indications. See
Table 1 for details. The GPIO can be accessed through SPI as soon as supply voltage is connected to DVDD
and DGND.
Input: Standard CMOS high-impedance input, no internal termination. Terminate externally if not used or set to
output. Note: The GPIOs are all set as inputs after a device reset.
Output: Push-pull output. Output current is derived from DVDD and from DGND. Avoid I/O activity and high
current during high-precision measurements to avoid coupled noise.
Special Function I/O: The configuration allows connecting a designated pin to the special function register
(Register 12): OSCout, SYNCin, BUFAout, BUFTin, EFout, MUX2, MUX1, and MUX0. The pin must be
configured as an input or output according to the pin function.
Example (CHKsum not enabled):
0x480B GPIO0, GPIO1. and GPIO3 set to output
0x4C0B GPIO0 and GPIO1 connected to MUX0 and MUX1, EFout connected to GPIO3. MUX0 and MUX1
are controlled from Register 0.

CS Mode
A special CS mode for the GPIO extends the device communications to other external SPI devices, such as data
converters or shift registers. This CS function is intended for SPI communication using four isolation couplers. To
use this mode, follow this procedure:
Configure the desired GPIO pins as outputs in Register 8, then configure the respective ECS (extended CS)
bits in Register 9.
Register 2 allows control of the clock mode by CPn (n for the individual ECS pins). CP = 1 asserts ECS after the
last negative SCLK edge of the command; CP = 0 asserts ECS after the positive SCLK, as Figure 56 shows.
Use the CS command 1100 0cccb [ccc = CS coded for 0 to 7] to activate ECS on a single GPIO pin.
Example for ECS on pin GPIO1 (CHKsum disabled):
0x4802 GPIO1 configured output (Note: GPIO may output a previously stored state; default is all zeroes)

Figure 56. Timing for GPIO Pin Acting as CS (ECS) to External Device
This CS pin (ECS) stays low as long as CS to the PGA280 is held low. The PGA280 SDO is turned to a
high-impedance output (and requires external termination). The PGA280 ignores both clock and data signals
during this time. Therefore, data can be read and written to another device selected by the ECS port.
Communication is terminated by setting CS (to the PGA280) to high; this toggle also sets the port ECS to high
and terminates the I/O transfer with the other device.
Figure 56 shows the timing for the GPIO-generated ECS pulse in clock mode SPOL = 1 (SCLK is high after CS
asserts low). Register 2 allows activating SPOL = 0 by writing a '1' to the CP bit, according to SPI mode1. The
initial setting is SPOL = 1.
Mode1; set bit to '1': a positive edge of SCLK follows after ECS asserts low (CP = 0). See the red edge of the
GPIO trace in Figure 56.
Mode2; set bit to '0': a negative edge of SCLK follows after ECS asserts high (CP = 1). See the black edge of the
GPIO trace in Figure 56.
The negative edge of SCLK senses data. The positive edge of SCLK sets data on the data out line (if
applicable).
For SPI modes 0 or 3, SCLK must be inverted to indirectly sense data with the positive edge of SCLK. Figure 57
shows an example of connecting additional SPI devices, addressed by the ECS. The OR connection for SDO
can be a wired-OR if all devices provide a 3-state output option with the respective device CS (ECS) set high.
The SPI interface allows clock rates higher than 10MHz. Clock rates less than10MHz are recommended when
using the ECS mode for less critical printed circuit board (PCB) layout and timing. Observe delays and distortion
generated from isolation couplers. External drivers may be required to drive long and terminated cables.

With only four isolation couplers (digital galvanic isolation) connected in the SPI wires, the SPI can provide
galvanic isolation for input and output channels. Figure 57 shows a block diagram of how to connect SPI devices
selected by the ECS (extended CS) signal.
Isolation couples or long SPI cables in harsh industrial environment are sensitive to impairments. For improved
communication integrity, the communication can be extended with a checksum byte.
Figure 57 shows an example of the GPIO pins used for both the extended chip select and special functions.
The chip select (CS) is connected to the PGA280 alone. The serial data input (SDI) and the serial clock (SCLK)
are shared connections, and are connected to all devices [PGA280, A/D converter, and the shift register or
digital-to-analog converter (DAC)]. The serial data output comes from each of the devices and are OR-connected
or sent to an OR gate, to be received by the master. An OR gate is only required if the connected devices do not
support 3-state operation. The PGA280 provides a 3-state output if not active. Pullup resistors may be required.
As mentioned previously, the GPIO pins are used to control an external multiplexer. In Figure 57, the three pins
from GPIO0, GPIO1, and GPIO2 are used as a MUX address. Two other GPIO pins are used as ECS to enable
communications with other slave devices.

Checksum
SPI communication can be secured by adding a checksum byte to the write and read data. If this mode is
activated by setting CHKsumE (bit 0 in Register 11), the PGA280 expects a valid checksum; otherwise, the
device ignores the received data and sets CHKerr in Register 4. This event may require a Register 4 read after
each write completes. The PGA280 always responds to a read with checksum if sufficient SCLK pulses (16) are
provided after the command byte.
A straight checksum (ignore carry) with a starting value of 0x9B, an 8-bit byte, is used. Polynomial value: 1001
1010b = 0x9B (b denotes binary, 0x denotes hex coding)
Write to device: Command byte + Data byte + CHKsum byte
CHKsum = Polynomial value + Command byte + Data byte*;
space
Read command to device = Command byte + CHKsum byte
Response: Data byte + CHKsum byte
CHKsum = Polynomial value + Command byte + Data byte
*The command for activating the CS on a GPIO pin (after configuration) is only a command byte: ‘11Tx 0ccc’.
Example: 0xC15C. This instruction activates CS on GPIO1. The 5C is the checksum [(0x9B + 0xC1) mod
0x100 = 0x5C]
The checksum is calculated only for the communication to or from the PGA280. In extended SPI mode, if
connecting the CS (ECS) for other SPI devices to the PGA280 port, the external device has to provide its own
checksum character, if available.
Examples:
0x4101DD Send Reset [CHKsum calculation: (0x9B + 0x41 + 0x01) mod 0x100 = 0xDD]
0x4B11F7 Activate CHKsum bit 0 of Register 11. Note that activation of the CHK bit requires proper
Checksum.
0x8B260000 Read Configuration Register 11 (contains 0x11) [0x9B + 0x8B = 0x26]
0x1137 Response includes the CHKsum [0x9B + 0x8B + 0x11 = 0x37]
0x44FFDF Reset all error flags in Register 4 [0x9B + 0x44 + 0xFF = 0xDF]
0x841F0000 Read Register 4 [0x9B + 0x84 = 0x1F]
0x001F No errors indicated if 00 [0x9B + 0x84 + 0x00 = 0x1F]
Commands can be chained while CS is active low; all bytes are added for checksum:
Examples:
0x4C 07 EE; Activate MUX0, MUX1, and MUX2 to GPIO0, GPIO1, and GPIO2, respectively
0x64 FF FE 40 1B 59 80 D9 00 00; Write to Register 4 with BUF trigger and reset all error flags
: Write to Register 0 and set gain 1V/V; MUX0 and MUX1 set high
: Read Register 0, provide 16 SCLKs
