7.3.7 Modulator

The modulator is a switched-capacitor, third-order architecture achieving excellent noise and linearity performance with low power consumption. As with most modulators, when overranged with a high amplitude signal or with an out-of-band signal, modulator saturation potentially occurs. When saturated, the in-band signal still converts, however the noise floor increases. Figure 7-11 illustrates the amplitude limit for out-of-band signals to avoid modulator saturation and increased noise. The amplitude limit for dc and in-band signals is 1dB above full-scale range.

ADS127L14 ADS127L18 Amplitude Limit to Avoid Modulator SaturationFigure 7-11 Amplitude Limit to Avoid Modulator Saturation

Modulator saturation is reported by the MOD_FLAG bit of the data port status header of each channel. The saturation status is latched during the conversion period and updated for each new conversion. Use an analog filter at the ADC inputs to filter the out-of-band signals to prevent increased noise. The Typical Application section shows an example of a fourth-order bandwidth limiting antialias filter.
