DESCRIPTION
The ADS1258 is a 16-channel (multiplexed), low-noise, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
that provides single-cycle settled data at channel scan rates from 1.8k to 23.7k samples per second (SPS) per
channel. A flexible input multiplexer accepts combinations of eight differential or 16 single-ended inputs with a
full-scale differential range of 5 V or true bipolar range of ±2.5 V when operating with a 5-V reference. The
fourth-order delta-sigma modulator is followed by a fifth-order sinc digital filter optimized for low-noise
performance.
The differential output of the multiplexer is accessible to allow signal conditioning prior to the input of the ADC.
Internal system monitor registers provide supply voltage, temperature, reference voltage, gain, and offset data.
An onboard PLL generates the system clock from a 32.768-kHz crystal, or can be overridden by an external
clock source. A buffered system clock output (15.7 MHz) is provided to drive a microcontroller or additional
converters.
Serial digital communication is handled via an SPI™ -compatible interface. A simple command word structure
controls channel configuration, data rates, digital I/O, monitor functions, etc.
Programmable sensor bias current sources can be used to bias sensors or verify sensor integrity.
The ADS1258 operates from a unipolar 5-V or bipolar ±2.5-V analog supply and a digital supply compatible with
interfaces ranging from 2.7 V to 5.25 V. The ADS1258 is available in QFN-48 and QFP-48 packages.

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.

OVERVIEW
The ADS1258 is a flexible, 24-bit, low-noise ADC
optimized for fast multi-channel, high-resolution
measurement systems. The converter provides a
maximum channel scan rate of 23.7kSPS, providing a
complete 16-channel scan in less than 700μs.
VIN = (ADCINP – ADCINN), against the differential
reference input, VREF = (VREFP – VREFN). The
digital filter receives the modulator signal and
provides a low-noise digital output. The ADC channel
block controls the multiplexer Auto-Scan feature.
Channel Auto-Scan occurs at a maximum rate of
23.7kSPS. Slower scan rates can be used with
corresponding increases in resolution.
Figure 34 shows the block diagram of the ADS1258.
The input multiplexer selects the analog input pins
connected
to
the
multiplexer
output
pins
(MUXOUTP/MUXOUTN). External signal conditioning
can be used between the multiplexer output pins and
the ADC input pins (ADCINP/ADCINN) or the
multiplexer output can be routed internally to the ADC
inputs without external circuitry. Selectable current
sources within the input multiplexer can be used to
bias sensors or detect for a failed sensor. On-chip
system function readings provide readback of
temperature, supply voltage, gain, offset, and external
reference.
Communication is handled over an SPI-compatible
serial interface with a set of simple commands
providing control of the ADS1258. Onboard registers
store the various settings for the input multiplexer,
sensor detect bias, data rate selection, etc. Either an
external 32.768kHz crystal, connected to pins XTAL1
and XTAL2, or an external clock applied to pin CLKIO
can be used as the clock source. When using the
external crystal oscillator, the system clock is
available as an output for driving other devices or
controllers. General-purpose digital I/Os (GPIO)
provide input and output control of eight pins.
The ADS1258 converter comprises a fourth-order,
delta-sigma modulator followed by a programmable
digital
filter.

MULTIPLEXER INPUTS
A simplified diagram of the input multiplexer is
illustrated in Figure 36. The multiplexer connects one
of 16 single-ended external inputs, one of eight
differential external inputs, or one of the on-chip
internal variables to the ADC inputs. The output of the
channel multiplexer can be routed to external pins
and then to the input of the ADC. This flexibility
allows for use of external signal conditioning. See the
External Multiplexer Loop section.
ESD diodes protect the analog inputs. To keep these
diodes from turning on, make sure the voltages on
the input pins do not go below AVSS by more than
100 mV, and likewise do not exceed AVDD by more
than 100 mV:

3pF
Reff = 40kΩ
(fCLK = 16MHz)
VREFN
ESD
Diodes
AVSS – 100mV < (Analog Inputs) < AVDD + 100 mV.
Overdriving the multiplexer inputs may affect the
conversions of other channels. See the Input
Overload Protection description in the Hardware
Considerations segment of the Applications section.
The converter supports two modes of channel access
through the multiplexer: the Auto-Scan mode and the
Fixed-Channel mode. These modes are selected by
the MUXMOD bit of register CONFIG0. The
Auto-Scan mode scans through the selected
channels automatically, with break-before-make
switching. The Fixed-Channel mode requires the user
to set the channel address for each channel
measured.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUTS
(VREFP, VREFN)
The voltage reference for the ADS1258 ADC is the
differential voltage between VREFP and VREFN:
VREF = VREFP – VREFN. The reference inputs use a
structure similar to that of the analog inputs with the
circuitry on the reference inputs shown in Figure 35.
The load presented by the switched capacitor can be
modeled with an effective resistance (Reff) of 40 kΩ
for fCLK = 16 MHz. Note that the effective impedance
of the reference inputs loads an external reference
with a non-zero source impedance.
AVSS
Figure 35. Simplified Reference Input Circuit
ESD diodes protect the reference inputs. To keep
these diodes from turning on, make sure the voltages
on the reference pins do not go below AVSS by more
than 100mV, and likewise do not exceed AVDD by
100mV, as described in Equation 1:
AVSS * 100mV t ǒVREFP or VREFNǓ t AVDD ) 100mV
(1)
A high-quality reference voltage is essential for
achieving the best performance from the ADS1258.
Noise and drift on the reference degrade overall
system performance. It is especially critical that
special care be given to the circuitry that generates
the reference voltages and the layout when operating
in the low-noise settings (that is, with low data rates)
to prevent the voltage reference from limiting
performance. See the Reference Inputs description in
the Hardware Considerations segment of the
Applications section.

ADC INPUTS
The ADS1258 ADC inputs (ADCINP, ADCINN)
measure the input signal using internal capacitors
that are continuously charged and discharged. The
left side of Figure 38 shows a simplified schematic of
the ADC input circuitry; the right side of Figure 38
shows the input circuitry with the capacitors and
switches replaced by an equivalent circuit. Figure 37
shows the ON/OFF timings of the switches shown in
Figure 38. S1 switches close during the input
sampling phase. With S1 closed, CA1 charges to
ADCINP, CA2 charges to ADCINN, and CB charges to
(ADCINP – ADCINN). For the discharge phase, S1
opens first and then S2 closes. CA1 and CA2 discharge
to approximately AVSS + 1.3 V and CB discharges to
0V. This two-phase sample/discharge cycle repeats
with a period of tSAMPLE = 2/fCLK.
The charging of the input capacitors draws a transient
current from the source driving the ADS1258 ADC
inputs. The average value of this current can be used
to calculate an effective impedance (Reff) where Reff =
VIN/IAVERAGE. These impedances scale inversely with
fCLK. For example, if fCLK is reduced by a factor of
two, the impedances double.
As with the multiplexer and reference inputs, ESD
diodes protect the ADC inputs. To keep these diodes
from turning on, make sure the voltages on the input
pins do not go below AVSS by more than 100 mV,
and likewise do not exceed AVDD by more than 100
mV.

MASTER CLOCK (fCLK)
The ADS1258 oversamples the analog input at a high
rate. This requires a high-frequency master clock to
be supplied to the converter. As shown in Figure 39,
the clock comes from either an internal oscillator (with
external crystal), or an external clock source.

input to receive the master clock. When the CLKSEL
pin is set to '0', the crystal oscillator generates the
clock. The CLKIO pin can then be configured to
output the master clock. When the clock output is not
needed, it can be disabled to reduce device power
consumption.
Crystal Oscillator
An on-chip oscillator and Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
together with an external crystal can be used to
generate the system clock. For this mode, tie the
CLKSEL pin low. A 22nF PLL filter capacitor,
connected from the PLLCAP pin to the AVSS pin, is
required. The internal clock of the PLL can be output
to the CLKIO to drive other converters or controllers.
If not used, disable the clock output to reduce device
power consumption; see Table 1 for settings. The
clock output is enabled by a register bit setting
(default is ON). Figure 40 shows the oscillator
connections. Place these components as close to the
pins as possible to avoid interference and coupling.
Do not connect XTAL1 or XTAL2 to any other logic.
The oscillator start-up time may vary, depending on
the crystal and ambient temperature. The user should
verify the oscillator start-up time.

ADC
The ADC block of the ADS1258 is composed of two
blocks: a modulator and a digital filter.
Modulator
The modulator converts the analog input voltage into
a Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) data stream. When
the level of differential analog input (ADCINP –
ADCINN) is near the level of the reference voltage,
the '1' density of the PCM data stream is at its
highest. When the level of the differential analog input
is near zero, the PCM '0' and '1' densities are nearly
equal. The fourth-order modulator shifts the
quantization noise to a high frequency (out of the
passband) where the digital filter can easily remove it.
The modulator continuously chops the input, resulting
in excellent offset and offset drift performance. It is
important to note that offset or offset drift originating
from the external circuitry is not removed by the
modulator chopping. These errors can be effectively
removed by using the external chopping feature of
the ADS1258 (see the External Chopping section).
Digital Filter
The programmable low-pass digital filter receives the
modulator output and produces a high-resolution
digital output. By adjusting the amount of filtering,
tradeoffs can be made between resolution and data
Modulator Rate = fCLK/2
The data rate depends upon the system clock
frequency (fCLK) and the converter configuration. The
data rate can be computed by Equation 2 or
Equation 3:
Data Rate (Auto-Scan):
f CLK
128(4 11b*DR ) 4.265625 ) TD)
2 CHOP
Data Rate (Fixed-Channel Mode):

rate—filter more for higher resolution, filter less for
higher data rate. The filter is comprised of two
sections, a fixed filter followed by a programmable
filter. Figure 42 shows the block diagram of the filter.
Data is supplied to the filter from the analog
modulator at a rate of fCLK/2. The fixed filter is a
fifth-order sinc filter with a decimation value of 64 that
outputs data at a rate of fCLK/128. The second stage
of the filter is a programmable averager (first-order
sinc filter) with the number of averages set by the
DRATE[1:0] bits.

Table 3 shows a listing of the averaging and data
rates for each of the four DRATE[1:0] register
settings for the Auto-Scan and Fixed-Channel modes,
with CHOP, DLY = 0. Note that the data rate scales
directly with fCLK. For example, reducing fCLK by 2x
reduces the maximum data rate by 2x.
Figure 44 shows the response with averaging set to 4
(DRATE[1:0] = 10). 4-reading, post-averaging
produces three equally-spaced notches between
each main notch of the sinc5 filter. The frequency
response of DRATE[1:0] = 01 and 00 follows a similar
pattern, but with 15 and 63 equally-spaced notches
between the main sinc5 notches, respectively.

The digital filter attenuates noise on the modulator
output including noise from within the ADS1258 and
external noise present within the ADS1258 input
signal. Adjusting the filtering by changing the number
of averages used in the programmable filter changes
the filter bandwidth. With a higher number of
averages, the bandwidth is reduced and more noise
is attenuated.
The low-pass filter has notches (or zeros) at the data
output rate and multiples thereof. The sinc5 part of
the filter produces wide notches at fCLK/128 and
multiples thereof. At these frequencies, the filter has
zero gain. Figure 43 shows the response with no post
averaging. Note that in Auto-Scan mode, the data
rate is reduced while retaining the same frequency
response as in Fixed-Channel mode.
With programmable averaging, the wide notches
produced by the sinc5 filter remain, but a number of
narrow notches are superimposed in the response.

ALIASING
The digital filter low-pass characteristic repeats at
multiples of the modulator rate of fCLK/2. Figure 45
shows the response plotted out to 16MHz at the data
rate of 125 kSPS (Fixed-Channel mode). Notice how
the responses near DC, 8 MHz, and 16 MHz are the
same. The digital filter attenuates high-frequency
noise on the ADS1258 inputs up to the frequency
where the response repeats. However, noise or
frequency components present on the analog input
where the response repeats alias into the passband.
For most applications, an anti-alias filter is
recommended to remove the noise. A simple
first-order input filter with a pole at 200kHz provides
–34dB rejection at the first image frequency.
input. For most modes of operation, the analog input
must be stable for one complete conversion cycle to
provide settled data. In Fixed-Channel mode
(DRATE[1:0] = 11), the input must be stable for five
complete conversion cycles.

Referring to Figure 43 and Figure 44, frequencies

(sample rate/2) are first attenuated by the digital filter
and then alias into the passband.
SETTLING TIME
The design of the ADS1258 provides fully-settled
data when scanning through the input channels in
Auto-Scan mode. The DRDY flag asserts low when
the data for each channel is ready. It may be
necessary to use the automatic switch time delay
feature to provide time for settling of the external
buffer and associated components after channel
switching. When the converter is started (START pin
transitions high or Start Command) with stable inputs,
the first converter output is fully settled. When
applying asynchronous step inputs, the settling time
is somewhat different. The step-input settling time
diagrams (Figure 46 and Figure 47) show the
converter step response with an asynchronous step
The ADS1258 offers outstanding noise performance
that can be optimized by adjusting the data rate. As
the averaging is increased by reducing the data rate,
noise drops correspondingly. See Table 4 for
Input-Referred Noise, Noise-Free Resolution, and
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB). The noise
performance of low-level signals can be improved
substantially by using external gain. Note that when
Chop = 1, the data rate is reduced by 2x and the
noise is reduced by 1.4x.
ENOB is defined in Equation 5:
lnǒFSRńRMS NoiseǓ
ENOB +
ln(2)
(5)
where FSR is the full-scale range.
The data for the Noise-Free Resolution (bits) is
calculated in the same way as ENOB, except
peak-to-peak noise is used.
As seen in the illustration of Noise vs VREF
(Figure 10), the converter noise is relatively constant
versus
the
reference
voltage.
Optimum
signal-to-noise ratio of the converter is achieved by
using higher reference voltages (VREF MAX = AVDD –
AVSS).

Time delay and data rates scale with fCLK. If Chop = 1, the data rates are half those shown. fCLK = 16MHz, Auto-Scan Mode.
EXTERNAL MULTIPLEXER LOOP
The external multiplexer loop consists of two
differential multiplexer output pins and two differential
ADC input pins. The user may use external
components (buffering/filtering, single-ended to
differential conversion, etc.), forming a signal
conditioning loop. For best performance, the ADC
input should be buffered and driven differentially.
To bypass the external multiplexer loop, connect the
ADC input pins directly to the multiplexer output pins,
or select internal bypass connection (BYPASS = 0 of
CONFIG0). Note that the multiplexer output pins are
active regardless of the bypass setting.
Use of the switch time delay register reduces the
effective channel data rate. Table 5 shows the actual
data rates derived from Equation 2, when using the
switch time delay feature.
When pulse converting, where one channel is
converted with each START pin pulse or each pulse
command, the application software may provide the
required time delay between pulses. However, with
Chop = 1, the switch time delay feature may still be
necessary to allow for settling.
In estimating the time delay that may be required,
Table 6 lists the time delay-to-time constant ratio (t/τ)
and the corresponding final settled data in % and
number of bits.
SWITCH TIME DELAY
Table 6. Settling Time
When using the ADS1258 in the Auto-Scan mode,
where the converter automatically switches from one
channel to the next, the settling time of the external
signal conditioning circuit becomes important. If the
channel does not fully settle after the multiplexer
channel is switched, the data may not be correct. The
ADS1258 provides a switch time delay feature which
automatically provides a delay after channel switching
to allow the channel to settle before taking a reading.
The amount of time delay required depends primarily
on the settling time of the external signal conditioning.
Additional consideration may be needed to account
for the settling of the input source arising from the
transient generated from channel switching.

SENSOR BIAS
An integrated current source provides a means to
bias an external sensor (for example, a diode
junction); or, it verifies the integrity of a sensor or
sensor connection. When the sensor fails to an open
condition, the current sources drive the inputs of the
converter to positive full-scale. The biasing is in the
form of differential currents (programmable 1.5μA or
24μA), connected to the output of the multiplexer.
Figure 48 shows a simplified diagram of ADS1258
input structure with the external sensor modeled as a
resistance RS between two input pins. The two 80Ω
series resistors, RMUX, model the ADS1258 internal
resistances. RL represents the effective input
resistance of the ADC input or external buffer. When
the sensor bias is enabled, they source ISDC to one
selected input pin (connected to the MUXOUTP
channel) and sink ISDC from the other selected input
pin (connected to the MUXOUTN channel). The
signal measured with the biasing enabled equals the
total IR drop: ISDC[(2RMUX + RS) ‫ ׀׀‬RL]. Note that when
the sensor is a direct short (that is, RS = 0), there is
still a small signal measured by the ADS1258 when
the biasing is enabled: ISDC[2RMUX ‫ ׀׀‬RL].

The current source is connected to the output of the
multiplexer. For unselected channels, the current
source is not connected. This configuration means
that when a new channel is selected, the current
source charges stray sensor capacitance, which may
slow the rise of the sensor voltage. The automatic
switch time delay feature can be used to apply an
appropriate time delay before a conversion is started
to provide fully settled data (see the Switch Time
Delay section).
The time to charge the external capacitance is given
in Equation 6:
dV + I SDC
C
dt
(6)
It is also important to note that the low impedance
(65kΩ) of the direct ADC inputs or the impedance of
the external signal conditioning loads the current
sources. This low impedance limits the ability of the
current source to pull the inputs to positive full-scale
for open-channel detection.
OPEN-SENSOR DETECTION
For open-sensor detection, set the biasing to either
1.5μA or 24μA. Then select the channel and read the
output code. When a sensor opens, the positive input
is pulled to AVDD and the negative input is pulled to
AVSS. Because of this configuration, the output code
trends toward positive full-scale. Note that the
interaction of the multiplexer resistance with the
current source may lead to degradation in converter
linearity. It is recommended to enable the current
source only periodically to check for open inputs and
discard the associated data.
EXTERNAL DIODE BIASING
The current source can be used to bias external
diodes for temperature sensing. Scan the appropriate
channels with the current source set to 24µA.
Re-scan the same channels with the current source
set to 1.5µA. The difference in diode voltage readings
resulting from the two bias currents is directly
proportional to temperature.
I SDC

Figure 48. Sensor Bias Structure
Note that errors in current ratio, diode and cable
resistance, or the non-ideality factor of the diode can
lead to errors in temperature readings. These effects
can be compensated by characterization or by
calibrating the diode at known temperatures.

EXTERNAL CHOPPING
GPIO DIGITAL PORT (GPIOx)
The modulator of the ADS1258 incorporates a
chopping front-end which removes offset errors,
providing excellent offset and offset drift performance.
However, offset and offset drift originating from
external signal conditioning are not removed by the
modulator. The ADS1258 has an additional chopping
feature that removes external offset errors (CHOP =
1).
The ADS1258 has eight dedicated pins for
General-Purpose Digital I/O (GPIO). The digital I/O
pins are individually configurable as either inputs or
as outputs through the GPIOC (GPIO-Configure)
register. The GPIOD (GPIO-Data) register controls
the level of the pins. When reading the GPIOD
register, the data returned is the level of the pins,
whether they are programmed as inputs or outputs.
As inputs, a write to the GPIOD has no effect. As
outputs, a write to the GPIOD sets the output value.
With external chopping enabled, the converter takes
two readings in succession on the same channel. The
first reading is taken with one polarity and the second
reading is taken with the opposite polarity. The
converter averages the two readings, canceling the
offset, as shown in Figure 49. With chopping enabled,
the effective reading is reduced to half of the nominal
reading rate.
Multiplexer
(chopping)
During Standby and Power-Down modes, the GPIO
remains active. If configured as inputs, they must be
driven (do not float). If configured as outputs, they
continue to drive the pins. The GPIO pins are set as
inputs after power-on or after a reset. Figure 50
shows the GPIO port structure.

Note that since the inputs are reversed under control
of the ADS1258, a delay time may be necessary to
provide time for external signal conditioning to fully
settle before the second phase of the reading
sequence starts (see the Switch time Delay section).
External chopping can be used to significantly reduce
total offset errors (to less than 10μV) and offset drift
over temperature (to less than 0.2μV/°C). Note that
chopping must be disabled (CHOP = 0) to take the
internal monitor readings.

internal circuitry is deactivated including the oscillator
and the clock output. Hold PWDN low for at least two
fCLK cycles to engage power-down. The register
settings are retained during power-down. When the
pin is returned high, the converter requires a wake-up
time before readings can be taken, as shown in the
Power-Up Timing section. Note that in power-down

and the device continues to drive the outputs.

and if the supplies are also being powered, there is a
reset interval time of 218 fCLK cycles. Note that CLKIO
is not valid during the wake-up period, as shown in

The START pin is an input that controls the ADC
process. When the START pin is taken high, the
converter starts converting the selected input
channels. When the START pin is taken low, the
conversion in progress runs to completion and the
converter is stopped. The device then enters one of
the two idle modes (see the Idle Modes section for
more details). See the Conversion Control section for
details of using the START pin.
Table 7 summarizes the wake-up times using the
internal oscillator and the external clock operations.

Wake-up times for the internal oscillator operation are typical
and may vary depending on crystal characteristics and layout
capacitance. The user should verify the oscillator start-up
times (tOSC = oscillator start-up time).

Data Ready Output (DRDY)
The DRDY pin is an output that asserts low to
indicate when new channel data is available to read
(the previous conversion data is lost). DRDY returns
high after the first falling edge of SCLK during a data
read operation. If the data is not read (no SCLK
pulses), DRDY remains low until new channel data is
available once again. DRDY then pulses high, then
low to indicate new data is available; see Figure 53.
DRDY is usually connected to an interrupt of a
controller, DSP, or connected to a controller port pin
for polling in a software loop. Channel data can be
read without the use of DRDY. Read the data using
the register format read and check the Status Byte
when the NEW bit = 1, which indicates new channel
data.
Output Data Scaling and Over-Range
The ADS1258 is scaled such that the output data
code resulting from an input voltage equal to ±VREF
has a margin of 6.6% before clipping. This
architecture allows operation of applied input signals
at or near full-scale without overloading the converter.

INTERNAL SYSTEM READINGS
Analog Power-Supply Reading (VCC)
The analog power-supply voltage of the ADS1258
can be monitored by reading the VCC register. The
supply voltage is routed internal to the ADS1258 and
is measured and scaled using an internal reference.
The supply readback channel outputs the difference
between AVDD and AVSS (AVDD – AVSS), for both
single and dual configurations. Note that it is required
to disable chopping (CHOP = 0) prior to taking this
reading.
The scale factor of Equation 7 converts the code
value to volts:
Total Analog Supply Voltage (V) + Code
786432
(7)
When the power supply falls below the minimum
specified operating voltage, the full operation of the
ADS1258 cannot be ensured. Note that when the
total analog supply voltage falls to below
approximately 4.3 V the returned data is set to zero.
The SUPPLY bit in the status byte is then set. The bit
is cleared when the total supply voltage rises
approximately 50 mV higher than the lower trip point.
The digital supply (DVDD) may be monitored by
looping-back the supply voltage to an input channel.
A resistor divider may be required for bipolar supply
operation to reduce the DVDD level to within the
range of the analog supply.
Gain Reading (GAIN)
In this configuration, the external reference is
connected both to the analog input and to the
reference input of the ADC. The data from this
register indicates the gain of the device.
The following scale factor (Equation 8) converts the
code value to device gain:
Device Gain ǒVńVǓ + Code
7864320
(8)
To correct the device gain error, the user software
can divide each converter data value by the device
gain. Note that this corrects only for gain errors
originating within the ADC; system gain errors
because of an external gain stage error or because of
reference errors are not compensated. Note that it is
required to disable chopping (CHOP = 0) also prior to
taking this reading.
Reference Reading (REF)
In this configuration, the external reference is
connected to the analog input and an internal
reference is connected to the reference of the ADC.
The data from this register indicates the magnitude of
the external reference voltage.
The scale factor of Equation 9 converts the code
value to external reference voltage:
External Reference (V) + Code
786432
(9)
This readback function can be used to check for
missing or an out-of-range reference. If the reference
input pins are floating (not connected), internal
biasing pulls them to the AVSS supply. This causes
the output code to tend toward '0'. Bypass capacitors
connected to the external reference pins may slow
the response of the pins when open. When reading
this register immediately after power-on, verify that
the reference has settled to ensure an accurate
reading. Note that it is required to disable chopping
(CHOP = 0) prior to taking this reading.
Temperature Reading (TEMP)
The ADS1258 contains an on-chip temperature
sensor. This sensor uses two internal diodes with one
diode having a current density of 16x of the other.
The difference in current densities of the diodes
yields a difference voltage that is proportional to
absolute temperature.
As a result of the low thermal resistance of the
package to the printed circuit board (PCB), the
internal device temperature tracks the PCB
temperature closely. Note also that self-heating of the
ADS1258 causes a higher reading than the
temperature of the surrounding PCB. Note that it is
required to disable chopping (CHOP = 0) prior to
taking this reading.
The scale factor of Equation 10 converts the
temperature reading to °C. Before using the equation,
the temperature reading code must first be scaled to
μV.
Temperature(°C) +
ƪ
ƫ
Temp Reading(mV) * 168, 000mV
) 25°C
394mVń°C
(10)
Offset Reading (OFFSET)
The differential output of the multiplexer is shorted
together and set to a common-mode voltage of
(AVDD – AVSS)/2. Ideally, the code from this register
function is 0h, but varies because of the noise of the
ADC and offsets stemming from the ADC and
external signal conditioning. This register can be used
to calibrate or track the offset of the ADS1258 and
external signal conditioning. The chop feature of the
ADC can automatically remove offset and offset drift
from the external signal conditioning; see the External
Chopping section.

CONVERSION CONTROL
Pulse Convert Command
The conversions of the ADS1258 are controlled by
the START pin. Conversions begin when the START
pin is taken high and conversions are stopped when
the START pin is taken low. For continuous
conversions, tie the START pin high. The START pin
can also be tied low and the conversions controlled
by the PULSE convert command. The PULSE
convert command converts one channel (only) for
each command sent. In this way, channel
conversions can be stepped without the need to
toggle the START pin.
Figure 55 also shows the start of conversions with the
rising edge of the START pin. If the START pin is
taken high, and then low prior to completion of the
conversion cycle (8 τCLK before DRDY asserts low),
only the current channel is converted and the device
enters the standby or sleep modes waiting for a new
start condition. Figure 56 shows the START pin to
DRDY timing. The same function of conversion
control is possible using the Pulse Convert command
(with the START pin low). In this operation, the data
from one channel is converted with each Pulse
Convert command. The Pulse convert command
takes effect when the command byte is completely
shifted in (eighth falling edge of SCLK). After
conversion, if more than one channel is enabled
(Auto-Scan mode), the converter indexes to the next
selected channel after completing the conversion.
START Pin
As shown in Figure 54, when the START pin is taken
high, conversions start beginning with the current
channel. The device continues to convert all of the
programmed channels, in a continuous loop, until the
START pin is taken low. When this occurs, the
conversion in process completes, and the device
enters the standby or sleep mode waiting for a new
start condition. When DRDY asserts low, the
conversion data is ready. Figure 56 shows the
START pin to DRDY timing. The order in which
channel data is converted is described in Table 10.
When the last selected channel in the program list
has been converted, the device continues
conversions starting with the highest priority channel.
If there is only one channel selected in the Auto-Scan
mode, the converter remains fixed on one channel. A
write operation to any of the multiplexer channel
select registers sets the channel pointer to the
highest priority channel (see Table 11). In
Fixed-Channel mode, the channel pointer remains
fixed.

GPIO Linked START Pin Control
OPERATING MODES
The START pin can be contolled directly by software
by connecting externally a GPIO port pin to the
START pin. (Note that an external pull-down resistor
is recommended to keep the GPIO from floating until
the GPIO is configured as an output). For this mode
of control, the START pin is effectively controlled by
writing to the GPIO Data Register (GPIOD), with the
write operation setting or resetting the appropriate bit.
The data takes effect on the eighth falling edge of the
data byte write. The START pin can then be
controlled by the serial interface.
The operating modes of the ADS1258 are defined in
three basic states: Converting Mode, Idle Mode, and
Power-Down mode. In Converting mode, the device
is actively converting channel data. The device power
dissipation is the highest in this mode. This mode is
divided into two sub-modes: Auto-Scan and
Fixed-Channel.
Initial Delay
As seen in Figure 57, when a start convert condition
occurs, the first reading from ADS1258 is delayed for
a number of clock cycles. This delay allows fully
settled data to occur at the first data read. Data reads
thereafter are available at the full data rate. The
number of clock cycles delayed before the first
reading is valid depends on the data rate setting, and
whether exiting the Standby or Sleep Mode. Table 9
lists the delayed clock cycles versus data rate.
Fully−Settled Data
DRDY
The next mode is the Idle mode. In this mode, the
device is not converting channel data. The device
remains active, waiting for input to start conversions.
The power consumption is reduced from that of the
Converting mode. This mode also has two
sub-modes: Standby and Sleep.
The last mode is Power-Down mode. In this mode, all
functions of the converter are disabled to reduce
power consumption to a minimum.
CONVERTING MODES
The ADS1258 has two converting modes: Auto-Scan
and Fixed-Channel. In Auto-Scan mode, the channels
to be measured are pre-selected in the address
register settings. When a convert condition is present,
the converter automatically measures and sequences
through the channels either in a continuous loop or
pulse-step fashion, depending on the trigger
condition.
In Fixed-Channel mode, the channel address is
selected in the address register settings prior to
acquiring channel data. When a convert condition is
present, the device converts a single channel, either
continuously or in pulse-step fashion, depending on
the trigger condition. The data rate in this mode is
higher than in Auto-Scan Mode since the input
channels are not indexed for each reading.

Auto-Scan Mode
The ADS1258 provides 16 analog inputs, which can
be configured in combinations of eight differential
inputs or 16 single-ended inputs, and provides an
additional five internal system measurements. Taken
together, the device allows a total of 29 possible
channel combinations. The converter automatically
scans and measures the selected channels, either in
a continuous loop or pulse-step fashion, under the
control of the START pin or Start command software.
The channels are selected for measurement in
registers MUXDIF, MUXSG0, MUXSG1, and
SYSRED. When any of these registers are written,
the internal channel pointer is set to the channel
address with the highest priority (see Table 11).
DRDY asserts low when the channel data is ready;
see Figure 55 and Figure 54. At the same time, the
converter indexes to the next selected channel and, if
the START pin is high, starts a new channel
conversion. Otherwise, if pulse converting, the device
enters the Idle mode.
For example, if channels 3, 4, 7, and 8 are selected
for measurement in the list, the ADS1258 converts
the channels in that order, skipping all other
channels. After channel 8 is converted, the device
starts over, beginning at the top of the channel list,
channel 3.
The following guidelines can be used when selecting
input channels for Auto-Scan measurement:
1. For differential measurements, adjacent input
pins (AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3, AIN4/AIN5, etc.) are
pre-set as differential pairs. Even number
channels from each pair represent the positive
input to the ADC and odd number channels within
a pair represent the negative input (for example,
AIN0/AIN1: AIN0 is the positive channel, AIN1 is
the negative channel.)
2. For single-ended measurements use AIN0
through AIN15 as single-ended inputs and
AINCOM is the shared common input among
them. Note: AINCOM does not need to be at
ground potential. For example, AINCOM can be
tied to VREFP or VREFN; or any potential
between (AVSS – 100mV) and (AVDD + 100mV).
3. Combinations of differential, single-ended inputs,
and internal system registers can be used in a
scan.
Fixed-Channel Mode
In this mode, any of the 16 analog input channels
(AIN0–AIN15) can be selected for the positive ADC
input and any analog input channels can be selected
for the negative ADC input. New channel
configurations must be selected by the MUXSCH
32
register prior to converting a different channel. Note
that the AINCOM input and the internal system
registers cannot be referenced in this mode.
Idle Modes
When the START pin is taken low, the device
completes the conversion of the current channel and
then enters one of the Idle modes, Standby or Sleep.
In the Standby mode, the internal biasing of the
converter is reduced. This state provides the fastest
wake-up response when re-entering the run state. In
Sleep mode, the internal biasing is reduced further to
provide lower power consumption than the Standby
mode. This mode has a slower wake-up response
when re-entering the Converting mode (see Table 9).
Selection of these modes is set under bit IDLMOD of
register CONFIG1.
POWER-DOWN MODE
In power-down mode, both the analog and digital
circuitry are completely disabled.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The ADS1258 is operated via an SPI-compatible
serial interface by writing data to the configuration
registers, using commands to control the converter
and finally reading back the channel data. The
interface consists of four signals: CS, SCLK, DIN,
and DOUT.
Chip Select (CS)
CS is an input that is used to select the device for
serial communication. CS is active low. When CS is
high, read or write commands in progress are aborted
and the serial interface is reset. Additionally, DOUT
tri-states and inputs on DIN are ignored. DRDY
indicates when data is ready, independent of CS.
The converter may be operated using CS to actively
select and deselect the device, or with CS tied low
(always selected). CS must stay low for the entire
read or write operation. When operating with CS tied
low, the number of SCLK pulses must be carefully
controlled to avoid false command transmission.
Serial Clock (SCLK) Operation
The serial clock (SCLK) is an input which is used to
clock data into (DIN) and out of (DOUT) the
ADS1258. This input is a Schmitt-trigger input that
has a high degree of noise immunity. However, it is
recommended to keep SCLK as clean as possible to
prevent glitches from inadvertently shifting the data.
Data is shifted into DIN on the rising edge of SCLK
and data is shifted out of DOUT on the falling edge of
SCLK. If SCLK is held inactive for 4096 or 256 fCLK
cycles (SPIRST bit of register CONFIG0), read or

write operations in progress will terminate and the

interface transmission is interrupted or inadvertently
glitched.
may be read at any time without concern to DRDY.
The NEW bit of the STATUS byte indicates that the
data register has been refreshed with new converter
data since the last read operation. The data is shifted
out MSB first after the STATUS byte.
Data Input (DIN) and Data Output (DOUT)
Operation
It should be noted that on system power-up, if the
ADS1258 interface signals are floating or undefined,
the interface could wake in an unknown state. This
condition is remedied by resetting the interface in
three ways: toggle the RESET pin low then high;
toggle the CS pin high then low; or hold SCLK
inactive for 218 + 4096 fCLK cycles.
The data input pin (DIN) is used to input data to the
ADS1258. The data output pin (DOUT) is used to
output data from the ADS1258. Data on DIN is shifted
into the converter on the rising edge of SCLK while
data is shifted out on DOUT on the falling edge of
SCLK. DOUT is tri-stated when CS is high to allow
multiple devices to share the line.
Channel Data Read Direct
Channel data can be accessed from the ADS1258 in
two ways: Direct data read or data read with register
format. With Direct read, the DIN input pin is held
inactive (high or low) for at least the first three SCLK
transitions. When the first three bits are 000 or 111,
the device detects a direct data read and channel
data is output. After the device defects this read
format, commands are ignored until either CS is
toggled, an SPI timeout occurs or the device is reset.
The Channel Data Read command does not have
this requirement.
SPI Bus Sharing
The ADS1258 can be connected to a shared SPI bus.
DOUT tri-states when CS is deselected (high). When
the ADS1258 is connected to a shared bus, data can
be read only by the Channel Data Read command
format.
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
Communicating to the ADS1258 involves shifting data
into the device (via the DIN pin) or shifting data out of
the device (via the DOUT pin) under control of the
SCLK input.
Concurrent with the first SCLK transition, channel
data is output on the DOUT output pin. A total of 24
or 32 SCLK transitions complete the data read
operation. The number of shifts depend on whether
the status byte is enabled. The data must be
completely shifted out before the next occurrence of
DRDY or the remaining data will be corrupted. It is
recommended to monitor DRDY to synchronize the
start of the read operation to avoid data corruption.
Before DRDY asserts low, the MSB of the Status byte
or the MSB of the data is output on DOUT (CS = '0'),
as shown in Figure 58. In this format, reading the
data a second time within the same DRDY frame
returns data = 0.
Reading DATA
DRDY goes low to indicate that new conversion data
is ready. The data may be read via a direct data read
(Channel Data Read Direct) or the data may be read
in a register format (Channel Data Read Register). A
direct data read requires the data to be read before
the next occurrence of DRDY or the data will be
corrupted. This type of data read requires
synchronization with DRDY to avoid this conflict.
When reading data in the register format, the data

COMMAND DESCRIPTION
SCLK falling edge (command byte completed), the
MSB of the channel data is restarted on DOUT. The
user clocks the data on the following rising edge of
SCLK. A total of 40 SCLK transitions complete the
data read operation. Unlike the direct read mode, the
channel data can be read during a DRDY transition
without data corruption. This mode is recommended
when DRDY is not used and the data is polled to
detect for the occurrence of new data or when CS is
tied low to avoid the necessity for an SPI timeout that
otherwise occurs when reading data directly. This
option avoids conflicts with DRDY, as shown in
Figure 59.
Commands may be sent to the ADS1258 with CS tied
low. However, after the Channel Data Read Direct
operation, it is necessary to toggle CS or an SPI
timeout must occur to reset the interface before
sending a command.
Channel Data Read Command
To read channel data in this mode (register format),
the first three bits of the command byte to be shifted
into the device are 001. The MUL bit must be set
because this command is a multiple byte read. The
remaining bits are don’t care but still must be clocked
to the device. During this time, ignore any data that
appear on DOUT until the command completes. This
data should be ignored. Beginning with the eighth

Register Read Command
Beginning with the eighth SCLK rising edge
(command byte completed), the MSB of the data is
shifted in. The remaining seven SCLK rising edges
complete the write to a single register. If MUL = '1',
the data to the next register can be written by
supplying additional SCLKs. The operation terminates
when the last register is accessed (address = 09h),
as shown in Figure 60.
To read register data, the first three bits of the
command byte to be shifted into the device are 010.
These bits are followed by the multiple register read
bit (MUL). If MUL = '1', then multiple registers can be
read in sequence beyond the desired register. If
MUL = '0', only data from the addressed register can
be read. The last four bits of the command word are
the beginning register address bits. During this time,
the invalid data may appear on DOUT until the
command is completed. This data should be ignored.
Beginning with the eighth falling edge of SCLK
(command byte completed), the MSB of the register
data is output on DOUT. The remaining eight SCLK
transitions complete the read of a single register. If
MUL = '1', the data from the next register can be read
in sequence by supplying additional SCLKs. The
operation terminates when the last register is
accessed (address = 09h); see Figure 59.
CONTROL COMMANDS
Pulse Convert Command
(See Conversion Control section)
Reset Command
The Reset command resets the ADC. All registers
are reset to their default values. A conversion in
process continues but is invalid when completed
(DRDY low). This conversion data should be
discarded. Note that the SPI interface may require
reset for this command, or any command, to function.
To ensure device reset under a possible locked SPI
interface condition, do one of the following: 1) toggle
CS high then low and send the reset command; or 2)
hold SCLK inactive for 256/fCLK or 4096/fCLK and send
the reset command. The control commands are
illustrated in Figure 61.
Register Write Command
To write register data, the first three bits of the
command byte to be shifted into the device are 011.
These bits are followed by the multiple register read
bit (MUL). If MUL = '1', then multiple registers can be
written in sequence beyond the desired register. If
MUL = '0', only data to the addressed register can be
written. The remaining four bits of the command word
are the beginning register address bits. During this
time, the invalid data may appear on DOUT until the
command is completed. This data should be ignored.

CHANNEL DATA
The data read operation outputs either four bytes (one byte for status and three bytes for data), or three bytes for
data only. The selection of 4-byte or 3-byte data read is set by the bit STAT in register CONFIG0 (see Table 13,
Status Byte, for options). In the 4-byte read, the first byte is the status byte and the following three bytes are the
data bytes. The MSB (Data23) of the data is shifted out first.

STATUS BYTE
BIT STATUS.7, NEW
The NEW bit is set when the results of a Channel Data Read Command returns new channel data. The bit
remains set indefinitely until the channel data is read. When the channel data is read again before the converter
updates with new data, the previous data is output and the NEW bit is cleared. If the channel data is not read
before the next conversion update, the data from the previous conversion is lost. As shown in Figure 62, the
NEW bit emulates the operation of the DRDY output pin. To emulate the function of the DRDY output pin in
software, the user reads data at a rate faster than the converter's data rate. The user then polls the NEW bit to
detect for new channel data.
0 = Channel data has not been updated since the last read operation.
1 = Channel data has been updated since the last read operation.

BIT STATUS.6 OVF
When this bit is set, this indicates the differential voltage applied to the ADC inputs have exceeded the range of
the converter |VIN| > 1.06 VREF. During over-range, the output code of the converter clips to either positive FS
(VIN ≥ 1.06 × VREF) or negative FS (VIN ≤ –1.06 × VREF). This bit, with the MSB of the data, can be used to
detect positive or negative over-range conditions. Note that because of averaging incorporated within the digital
filter, the absence of this bit does not assure that the modulator of the ADC has not saturated due to possible
transient input overload conditions.
BIT STATUS.5 SUPPLY
This bit indicates that the analog power-supply voltage (AVDD – AVSS) is below a preset limit. The SUPPLY bit
is set when the value falls below 4.3 V (typically) and is reset when the value rises 50mV higher (typically) than
the lower trip point. The output data of the ADC may not be valid under low power-supply conditions.
BITS CHID[4:0] CHANNEL ID BITS
The Channel ID bits indicate the measurement channel of the acquired data. Note that for Fixed-Channel mode,
the Channel ID bits are undefined. See Table 11 for the channel ID, the measurement priority, and the channel
description for Auto-Scan Mode.

COMMAND AND REGISTER DEFINITIONS
Commands are used to read channel data, access the configuration registers, and control the conversion
process. If the command is a register read or write operation, one or more data bytes follow the command byte.
If bit MUL = 1 in the command byte, then multiple registers can be read or written in one command operation
(see the MUL bit). Commands can be sent back-to-back without toggling CS; however, after a channel Data
Read Direct operation, CS must be toggled or an SPI timeout must occur before sending a command. The data
read by command does not require CS to be toggled.
The command byte consists of three fields: the Command Bits(C[2:0]), multiple register access bit (MUL), and
the Register Address Bits (A[3:0]); see the Command Byte register.

Bit 4 MUL: Multiple Register Access
0 = Disable Multiple Register Access
1 = Enable Multiple Register Access
This bit enables the multiple register access. This option allows writing or reading more than one register in a
single command operation. If only one register is to be read or written, set MUL = '0'. For multiple register
access, set MUL = '1'. The read or write operation begins at the addressed register. The ADS1258 automatically
increments the register address for each register data byte subsequently read or written. The multiple register
read or write operations complete after register address = 09h (device ID register) has been accessed.
The multiple register access is terminated in one of three ways:
1. The user takes CS high. This action resets the SPI interface.
2. The user holds SCLK inactive for 4096 fCLK cycles. This action resets the SPI interface.
3. Register address = 09h has been accessed. This completes the command and the ADS1258 is then ready
for a new command. Note for the Channel Data Read command, this bit must be set to read the four data
bytes (one status byte and three data bytes).
A[3:0] Register Address Bits
These bits are the register addresses for a register read or write operation; see Table 12.

This bit sets the number of fCLK cycles in which SCLK is inactive the SPI interface will reset. This
places a lower limit on the frequency of SCLK in which to read or write data to the device. The SPI
interface only is reset and not the device itself. When the SPI interface is reset, it is ready for a new
command.
0 = Reset when SCLK inactive for 4096fCLK cycles (256µs, fCLK = 16MHz) (default).

Bit 5
MUXMOD
This bit sets either the Auto-Scan or Fixed-Channel mode of operation.
0 = Auto-Scan Mode (default)
In Auto-Scan mode, the input channel selections are eight differential channels (DIFF0–DIFF7) and 16
single-ended channels (AIN0–AIN15). Additionally, five internal monitor readings can be selected.
These selections are made in registers MUXDIF, MUXSG0, MUXSG1, and SYSRED. In this mode,
settings in register MUXSCH have no effect. See the Auto-Scan Mode section for more details.
1 = Fixed-Channel Mode
In Fixed-Channel mode, any of the analog input channels may be selected for the positive
measurement and the negative measurement channels. The inputs are selected in register MUXSCH.
In this mode, registers MUXDIF, MUXSG0, MUXSG1, and SYSRED have no effect. Note that it is not
possible to select the internal monitor readings in this mode.
Bit 4
BYPAS
This bit selects either the internal or external connection from the multiplexer output to the ADC input.
0 = ADC inputs use internal multiplexer connection (default).
1 = ADC inputs use external ADC inputs (ADCINP and ADCINN).
Note that the Temperature, VCC, Gain, and Reference internal monitor readings automatically use the
internal connection, regardless of the BYPAS setting. The Offset reading uses the setting of BYPAS.

These four registers select the input channels and the internal readings for measurement in Auto-Scan mode.
For differential channel selections (DIFF0…DIFF7), adjacent input pins (AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3, etc.) are pre-set
as differential inputs. All single-ended inputs are measured with respect to the AINCOM input. AINCOM may be
set to any level within ±100 mV of the analog supply range. Channels not selected are skipped in the
measurement sequence. Writing to any of these four registers resets the internal channel pointer to the channel
with the highest priority (see Table 11). Note that the bits indicated as '0' must be set to 0.
0 = Channel not selected within a reading sequence.
1 = Channel selected within a reading sequence.

HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
The following summarizes the design and layout
considerations when using the ADS1258:
a. Power Supplies: The converter accepts a single
+5V supply (AVDD = 5 V and AVSS = AGND) or
dual, bipolar supplies (typically AVDD = 2.5 V,
AVSS = –2.5 V). Dual supply operation
accommodates true bipolar input signals, within a
±2.5-V range. Note that the maximum negative
input voltage to the multiplexer is limited to AVSS
– 100 mV, and the maximum positive input
voltage is limited to AVDD + 100 mV. The range
for the digital power supply (DVDD) is 2.7 V to
5.25 V. For all supplies, use a 10-μF tantalum
capacitor, bypassed with a 0.1-μF ceramic
capacitor, placed close to the device pins.
Alternatively, a single 10-μF ceramic capacitor
can be used. The supplies should be relatively
free from noise and should not be shared with
devices that produce voltage spikes (such as
relays, LED display drivers, etc.). If a switching
power supply is used, the voltage ripple should
be low (< 2 mV). The analog and digital power
supplies may be sequenced in any order.
b. Analog (Multiplexer) Inputs: The 16-channel
analog input multiplexer can accommodate 16
single-ended inputs, eight differential input pairs,
or combinations of either. These options permit
freedom in choosing the input channels. The
channels do not have to be used consecutively.
Unassigned channels are skipped by the device.
In the Fixed-Channel mode, any of the analog
inputs (AIN0 to AIN15) can be addressed for the
positive input and for the negative input. The
full-scale range of the device is 2.13 VREF, but the
absolute analog input voltage is limited to 100 mV
beyond the analog supply rails. Input signals
exceeding the analog supply rails (for example,
±10 V) must be divided prior to the multiplexer
inputs.
c. Input Overload Protection: Overdriving the
multiplexer inputs may affect the conversions of
other channels. In the case of input overload,
external Schottky diode clamps and series
resistor are recommended, as shown in Figure
61.

typ.

Figure 63. Input Overload Protection
d. ADC Inputs: The external multiplexer loop of the
ADS1258 allows for the inclusion of signal
conditioning between the output of the multiplexer
and the input of the ADC. Typically, an amplifier
is used to provide gain, buffering, and/or filtering
to the input signal. For best performance, the
ADC inputs should be driven differentially. A
differential
in/differential
out
or
a
single-ended-to-differential driver is recommended. If the driver uses higher supply voltages
than the device itself (for example, ±15V),
attention should be paid to power-supply
sequencing and potential over-voltage fault
conditions. Protection resistors and/or external
clamp diodes may be used to protect the ADC
inputs. A 1-nF or higher capacitor should be used
directly across the ADC inputs.
e. Reference Inputs: It is recommended to use a
10-μF tantalum with a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor
directly across the reference pins, VREFP and
VREFN. The reference inputs should be driven
by a low-impedance source. For rated
performance, the reference should have less than
3μVRMS broadband noise. For references with
higher noise, external filtering may be necessary.
Note that when exiting the sleep mode, the
device begins to draw a small current through the
reference pins. Under this condition, the transient
response of the reference driver should be fast
enough to settle completely before the first
reading is taken, or simply discard the first
several readings.

f. Clock Source: The ADS1258 requires a clock
signal for operation. The clock can originate from
either the crystal oscillator or from an external
clock source. The internal oscillator uses a PLL
circuit and an external 32.768-kHz crystal to
generate a 15.7-MHz master clock. The PLL
requires a 22-nF capacitor from the PLLCAP pin
to AVSS. The crystal and load capacitors should
be placed close to the pins as possible and kept
away from other traces with AC components. A
buffered output of the 15.7-MHz clock can be
used to drive other converters or controllers. An
external clock source can be used up to 16 MHz.
For best performance, the clock of the SPI
interface controller and the converter itself should
be on the same domain. This configuration
requires that the ratio of the SCLK to device clock
must be limited to 1,1/2,1/4, 1/8, etc.
g. Digital Inputs: It is recommended to source
terminate the digital inputs and outputs of the
device with a 50-Ω (typical) series resistor. The
resistors should be placed close to the driving
end of the source (output pins, oscillator, logic
gates, DSP, etc). This placement helps to reduce
the ringing and overshoot on the digital lines.
h. Hardware Pins: START, DRDY, RESET, and
PWDN. These pins allow direct pin control of the
ADS1258. The equivalent of the START and
DRDY pins is provided via commands through
the SPI interface; these pins may be left unused.
The device also has a RESET command. The
PWDN pin places the ADC into very low-power
state
where
the
device
is
inactive.
i. SPI Interface: The ADS1258 has an
SPI-compatible interface. This interface consists
of four signal lines: SCLK, DIN, DOUT, and CS.
When CS is high, the DIN input is ignored and
the DOUT output tri-states. See Chip Select (CS )
for more details. The SPI interface can be
operated in a minimum configuration without the
use of CS (tie CS low; see the Serial Interface
and Communication Protocol sections).
j. GPIO: The ADS1258 has eight, userprogrammable digital I/O pins. These pins are
controlled by register settings. The register
setting is default to inputs. If these pins are not
used, tie them high or low (do not float input pins)
or configure them as outputs.
k. QFN Package: See Application Report SLUA271,
QFN/SON PCB Attachment for PCB layout
recommendations, available for download at
www.ti.com. The exposed thermal pad of the
ADS1258 should be connected electrically to
AVSS.
CONFIGURATION GUIDE
Configuration of the ADS1258 involves setting the
configuration registers via the SPI interface. After the
device is configured for operation, channel data is
read from the device through the same SPI interface.
The following is a suggested procedure for
configuring the device:
1. Reset the SPI Interface: Before using the SPI
interface, it may be necessary to recover the SPI
interface. To reset the interface, set CS high or
disable SCLK for 4096 (256) fCLK cycles.
2. Stop the Converter: Set the START pin low to
stop the converter. Although not necessary for
configuration, this command stops the channel
scanning sequence which then points to the first
channel after configuration.
3. Reset the Converter: The reset pin can be
pulsed low or a Reset command can be sent.
Although not necessary for configuration, reset
re-initializes the device into a known state.

4. Configure the Registers: The registers are
configured by writing to them either sequentially
or as a group. The user may configure the
software in either mode. Any write to the
Auto-Scan channel-select registers resets the
channel pointer to the channel of highest priority.
5. Verify Register Data: The register data may be
read
back
for
verification
of
device
communications.
6. Start the Converter: The converter can be
started with the START pin or with a Pulse
46
Convert command sent through the interface.
7. Read Channel Data: The DRDY asserts low
when data is ready. The channel data can be
read at that time. If DRDY is not used, the
updated channel data can be checked by reading
the NEW bit in the status byte. The status byte
also indicates the origin of the channel data. If
the data for a given channel is not read before
DRDY asserts low again, the data for that
channel is lost and replaced with new channel
data.

DIGITAL INTERFACE CONNECTIONS
The ADS1258 SPI-compatible interface easily
connects to a wide variety of microcontrollers and
DSPs. Figure 64 shows the basic connection to TI's
MSP430 family of low-power microcontrollers.
Figure 65 shows the connection to microcontrollers
with an SPI interface such as the 68HC11 family, or
TI's MSC12xx family. Note that the MSC12xx
includes a high-resolution ADC; the ADS1258 can be
used to provide additional channels of measurement
or add higher-speed connections. Finally, Figure 66
shows how to connect the ADS1258 to a TMS320x
DSP.

The ADS1258 has eight general purpose input/output
(GPIO) pins. Each pin can be configured as an input
or an output. Note that pins configured as inputs
should not float. The pins can be used to read key
pads, drive LED indicator, etc., by reading and writing
the GPIO data register (GPIOD). See Figure 67.

ANALOG INPUT CONNECTIONS
Figure 68 shows the ADS1258 interfacing to
high-level ±10V inputs, commonly used in industrial
environments. In this case, bipolar power supplies are
used, avoiding the need for input signal level-shifting
otherwise required when a single supply is used. The
input resistors serve both to reduce the level of the
10V input signal to within the ADC range and also
protect the inputs from inadvertent signal over-voltage
up to 30V. The external amplifiers convert the
single-ended inputs to a fully differential output to
drive the ADC inputs. Driving the inputs differentially
maintains good linearity performance. The 2.2-nF
capacitor at the ADC inputs is required to bypass the
ADC sampling currents. The 2.5-V reference,
REF3125, is filtered and buffered to provide a
low-noise reference input to the ADC. The chop
feature of the ADC can be used to reduce offset and
offset drift of the amplifiers.
For ±1V input signals, the input resistor divider can
be removed and replaced with a series protection
resistor. For 20-mA input signals, the input resistor
divider is replaced by a 50-Ω resistor, connected from
each input to AINCOM.
− 2.5V
When using Auto-Scan mode to sequence through
the channels, the switch time delay feature
(programmable by registers) can be used to provide
additional settling time of the external components.
Figure 69 illustrates the ADS1258 interfacing to
multiple pressure sensors having a resistor bridge
output. Each sensor is excited by the 5-V single
supply that also powers the ADS1258 and likewise is
used as the ADS1258 reference input; the 6% input
overrange capability accommodates input levels at or
above VREF. The ratiometric connection provides
cancellation of excitation voltage drift and noise. For
best performance, the 5-V supply should be free from
glitches or transients. The 5-V supply input amplifiers
(two OPA365s) form a differential input/differential
output buffer with the gain set to 10. The chop feature
of the ADS1258 is used to reduce offset and offset
drift to very low levels. The 2.2-nF capacitor at the
ADC inputs is required to bypass the ADC sampling
currents. The 47-Ω resistors isolate the op-amp
outputs from the filter capacitor.
