8.1 Noise Measurements

NOTE

The ADS129xR channel performance differs from the ADS129x in regards to respiration circuitry found on channel one. Unless otherwise noted, ADS129x refers to all specifications and functional descriptions of the ADS1294, ADS1296, ADS1298, ADS1294R, ADS1296R, and ADS1298R. ADS129xR refers to all specifications and functional descriptions of only the ADS1294R, ADS1296R, and ADS1298R.

Optimize the ADS129x noise performance by adjusting the data rate and PGA setting. Reduce the data rate to increase the averaging, and the noise drops correspondingly. Increase the PGA value to reduce the input-referred noise. This lowered noise level is particularly useful when measuring low-level biopotential signals. Table 1 and Table 2 summarize the noise performance of the ADS129x in high-resolution (HR) mode and low-power (LP) mode, respectively, with a 3-V analog power supply. Table 3 and Table 4 summarize the noise performance of the ADS129x in HR and LP modes, respectively, with a 5-V analog power supply. The data are representative of typical noise performance at TA = 25°C. The data shown are the result of averaging the readings from multiple devices and are measured with the inputs shorted together. A minimum of 1000 consecutive readings are used to calculate the RMS and peak-to-peak noise for each reading. For the two highest data rates, the noise is limited by quantization noise of the ADC and does not have a gaussian distribution. Thus, the ratio between rms noise and peak-to-peak noise is approximately 10. For the lower data rates, the ratio is approximately 6.6.

Table 1 to Table 4 show measurements taken with an internal reference. The data are also representative of the ADS129x noise performance when using a low-noise external reference such as the REF5025.
