The ADS131A0x is a multichannel, simultaneous sampling ΔΣ ADC where each channel has an individual modulator and digital filter. The modulator samples the input signal at the rate of fMOD derived as a function of the ADC operating clock, fICLK. As in the case of any ΔΣ modulator, the ADS131A0x noise is shaped until fMOD / 2. The modulator converts the analog input voltage into a pulse-code modulated (PCM) data stream. The on-chip digital decimation filters take this bitstream and provide attenuation to the now shaped, higher frequency noise. This ΔΣ sample and conversion process drastically reduces the complexity of the analog antialiasing filters typically required with Nyquist ADCs.
