PRODUCTION DATA
As shown in Figure 7-3, the ADS1015L contains an input multiplexer (MUX). Either four single-ended or two differential signals can be measured. Additionally, AIN0 and AIN1 can be measured differentially to AIN3. The multiplexer is configured by the MUX[2:0] bits in the Configuration register. When single-ended signals are measured, the negative input of the ADC is internally connected to GND by a switch within the multiplexer.
The ADS1014L does not have an input multiplexer and can measure either one differential signal or one single-ended signal. For single-ended measurements, connect the AIN1 pin to GND externally. In subsequent sections of this document, AINP refers to AIN0 and AINN refers to AIN1 for the ADS1014L.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) diodes connected to VDD and GND protect the ADS101xL analog inputs. Keep the absolute voltage of any input within the range shown in Equation 1 to prevent the ESD diodes from turning on.
If the voltages on the input pins can potentially violate these conditions, use external Schottky diodes and series resistors to limit the input current to safe values (see the Absolute Maximum RatingsAbsolute Maximum Ratings). Overdriving an input on the ADS1015L can affect conversions taking place on other inputs. If overdriving an input is possible, clamp the signal with external Schottky diodes.
