SBAS843A september 2017 – july 2023 ADS8588H
PRODUCTION DATA
The ADS8588H has eight analog input channels, such that the positive inputs AIN_nP (n = 1 to 8) are the single-ended analog inputs and the negative inputs AIN_nGND are tied to GND. Figure 7-1 shows the simplified circuit schematic for each analog input channel, including the input clamp protection circuit, PGA, low-pass filter, high-speed ADC driver, and a precision 16-bit SAR ADC.
The device can support multiple bipolar, single-ended input voltage ranges based on the logic level of the RANGE input pin. As explained in the RANGE (Input)RANGE (Input)RANGE (Input) section, the input voltage range for all analog channels can be configured to bipolar ±10 V or ±5 V. The device samples the voltage difference (AIN_nP – AIN_nGND) for the selected analog input channel. The device allows a ±0.3-V range on the AIN_nGND pin for all analog input channels. Use this feature in modular systems where the sensor or signal conditioning block is further away from the ADC on the board and when a difference in the ground potential of the sensor or signal conditioner from the ADC ground is possible. In such cases, running separate wires from the AIN_nGND pin of the device to the sensor or signal conditioning ground is recommended.
