DESCRIPTION
The ADS1204 is a four-channel, high-performance device,
with four delta-sigma (∆Σ) modulators with 100dB dynamic
range, operating from a single +5V supply. The differential
inputs are ideal for direct connection to transducers in an
industrial environment. With the appropriate digital filter
and modulator rate, the device can be used to achieve
16-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion with no missing
code. Effective resolution of 12 bits can be obtained with
a digital filter data rate of 160kHz at a modulator rate of
10MHz. The ADS1204 is designed for use in medium- to
high-resolution measurement applications including
current measurements, smart transmitters, industrial
process control, weight scales, chromatography, and
portable instrumentation. It is available in a QFN-32 (5x5)
package.

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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADS1204 is a four-channel, 2nd-order, CMOS device
with four delta-sigma modulators, designed for medium- to
high-resolution A/D signal conversions from DC to 39kHz
(filter response −3dB) if an oversampling ratio (OSR) of 64
is chosen. The output of the converter (OUTX) provides a
stream of digital ones and zeros. The time average of this
serial output is proportional to the analog input voltage.
The modulator shifts the quantization noise to high
frequencies. A low-pass digital filter should be used at the
output of the delta-sigma modulator. The filter serves two
functions. First, it filters out high-frequency noise. Second,
the filter converts the 1-bit data stream at a high sampling
rate into a higher-bit data word at a lower rate (decimation).
An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or
field-programmable gate array (FPGA) could be used to
implement the digital filter. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show
typical application circuits with the ADS1204 connected to
an FPGA.
The overall performance (that is, speed and accuracy)
depends on the selection of an appropriate OSR and filter
type. A higher OSR produces greater output accuracy
while operating at a lower refresh rate. Alternatively, a
lower OSR produces lower output accuracy, but operates
at a higher refresh rate. This system allows flexibility with
the digital filter design and is capable of A/D conversion
results that have a dynamic range exceeding 100dB with
an OSR = 256.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The differential analog input of the ADS1204 is
implemented with a switched-capacitor circuit. This circuit
implements a 2nd-order modulator stage, which digitizes
the analog input signal into a 1-bit output stream. The clock
source can be internal as well as external. Different
frequencies for this clock allow for a variety of solutions
and signal bandwidths. Every analog input signal is
continuously sampled by the modulator and compared to
a reference voltage that is applied to the REFINx pin. A
digital stream, which accurately represents the analog
input voltage over time, appears at the output of the
corresponding converter.
ANALOG INPUT STAGE
Analog Input
The topology of the analog inputs of ADS1204 is based on
fully differential switched−capacitor architecture. This
input stage provides the mechanism to achieve low
system noise, high common-mode rejection (100dB), and
excellent power-supply rejection.
The input impedance of the analog input is dependent on
the modulator clock frequency (fCLK), which is also the
sampling frequency of the modulator. Figure 4 shows the
basic input structure of one channel of the ADS1204. The
relationship between the input impedance of the ADS1204
and the modulator clock frequency is:
Z IN +
100kW
f MODń10MHz
(1)
The input impedance becomes a consideration in designs
where the source impedance of the input signal is high.
This high impedance may cause degradation in gain,
linearity, and THD. The importance of this effect depends
on the desired system performance. There are two
restrictions on the analog input signals, CH x+ and CH x−.
If the input voltage exceeds the range (GND – 0.3V) to
(VDD + 0.3V), the input current must be limited to 10mA
because the input protection diodes on the front end of the
converter will begin to turn on. In addition, the linearity and
the noise performance of the device is ensured only when
the differential analog voltage resides within ±2V (with
VREF as a midpoint); however, the FSR input voltage is
±2.5V.
Modulator
The ADS1204 can be operated in two modes. When
CKLSEL = 1, the four modulators operate using the internal
clock, which is fixed at 20MHz. When CKLSEL = 0, the
modulators operate using an external clock . In both modes,
the clock is divided by two internally and functions as the
modulator clock. The frequency of the external clock can vary
from 1MHz to 32MHz to adjust for the clock requirements of
the application.
The modulator topology is fundamentally a 2nd-order,
switched-capacitor, delta-sigma modulator, such as the one
conceptualized in Figure 5. The analog input voltage and the
output of the 1-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) are
differentiated, providing analog voltages at X2 and X3. The
voltages at X2 and X3 are presented to their individual
integrators. The output of these integrators progresses in a
negative or positive direction. When the value of the signal
at X4 equals the comparator reference voltage, the output of
the comparator switches from negative to positive, or positive
to negative, depending on its original state. When the output
value of the comparator switches from high to low or vice
versa, the 1-bit DAC responds on the next clock pulse by
changing its analog output voltage at X6, causing the
integrators to progress in the opposite direction. The
feedback of the modulator to the front end of the integrators
forces the value of the integrator output to track the average
of the input.

DIGITAL OUTPUT
A differential input signal of 0V will ideally produce a
stream of ones and zeros that are high 50% of the time and
low 50% of the time. A differential input of +2V produces
a stream of ones and zeros that are high 80% of the time.
A differential input of –2V produces a stream of ones and
zeros that are high 20% of the time. The input voltage
versus the output modulator signal is shown in Figure 6.
connection is realized between the delta-sigma modulator
and an ASIC or FPGA (each with an implemented filter),
the two standard signals per modulator (CLKOUT and
OUTx) are provided from the modulator. The output clock
signal is equal for all four modulators. If CLKSEL = 1,
CLKIN must always be set either high or low.
MODES OF OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The system clock of the ADS1204 is 20MHz by default.
The system clock can be provided either from the internal
20MHz RC oscillator or from an external clock source. For
this purpose, the CLKIN pin is provided; it is controlled by
the mode setting, CLKSEL.
The analog signal connected to the input of the
delta-sigma modulator is converted using the clock signal
applied to the modulator. The result of the conversion, or
modulation, is generated and sent to the OUTx pin from the
delta-sigma modulator. In most applications where a direct
The system clock is divided by two for the modulator clock.
Therefore, the default clock frequency of the modulator is
10MHz. With a possible external clock range of 1MHz to
32MHz, the modulator operates between 500kHz and
16MHz.

The modulator generates only a bitstream, which does
not output a digital word like an A/D converter. In order
to output a digital word equivalent to the analog input
voltage, the bitstream must be processed by a digital
filter.

This filter provides the best output performance at the
lowest hardware size (for example, a count of digital
gates). For oversampling ratios in the range of 16 to
256, this is a good choice. All the characterizations in
the data sheet are also done using a Sinc3 filter with an
oversampling ratio of OSR = 256 and an output word
width of 16 bits.
This performance can be improved, for example, by a
cascaded filter structure. The first decimation stage can
be a Sinc3 filter with a low OSR and the second stage
a high-order filter.

The effective number of bits (ENOB) can be used to
compare the performance of ADCs and delta-sigma
modulators. Figure 9 shows the ENOB of the ADS1204
with different filter types. In this data sheet, the ENOB
is calculated from the SNR:
SNR = 1.76dB + 6.02dB × ENOB

clock divided by the OSR. For overcurrent protection,
filter types other than Sinc3 might be a better choice. A
simple example is a Sinc2 filter. Figure 10 compares the
settling time of different filter types. The Sincfast is a

In motor control applications, a very fast response time
for overcurrent detection is required. There is a
constraint between 1µs and 5µs with 3 bits to 7 bits
resolution. The time for full settling is dependent on the
filter order. Therefore, the full settling of the Sinc3 filter
needs three data clocks and the Sinc2 filter needs two

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
POWER SUPPLIES
For multiple converters, connect the two ground planes as
close as possible to one central location for all of the
converters. In some cases, experimentation may be
required to find the best point to connect the two planes
together.
An applied external digital filter rejects high-frequency
noise. PSRR and CMRR improve at higher frequencies
because the digital filter suppresses high-frequency noise.
DECOUPLING
However, the suppression of the filter is not infinite, so
high-frequency noise still influences the conversion result.
Inputs to the ADS1204, such as CH x+, CH x−, and CLKIN,
should not be present before the power supply is on.
Violating this condition could cause latch-up. If these
signals are present before the supply is on, series resistors
should be used to limit the input current to a maximum of
10mA. Experimentation may be the best way to determine
the appropriate connection between the ADS1204 and
different power supplies.
Good decoupling practices must be used for the ADS1204
and for all components in the design. All decoupling
capacitors, specifically the 0.1µF ceramic capacitors,
must be placed as close as possible to the pin being
decoupled. A 1µF and 10µF capacitor, in parallel with the
0.1µF ceramic capacitor, can be used to decouple AVDD
to AGND as well as BVDD to BGND. At least one 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor must be used to decouple every AVDD
to AGND and BVDD to BGND, as well as for the digital
supply on each digital component.
GROUNDING
Analog and digital sections of the design must be carefully
and cleanly partitioned. Each section should have its own
ground plane with no overlap between them. Do not join
the ground planes; instead, connect the two with a
moderate signal trace underneath the converter. However,
for different applications with DSPs and switching power
supplies, this process might be different.
18
The digital supply sets the I/O voltage for the interface and
can be set within a range of 2.7V to 5.5V.
In cases where both the analog and digital I/O supplies
share the same supply source, an RC filter of 10Ω and
0.1µF can be used to help reduce the noise in the analog
supply.
