8.1 Noise Performance

The ADC noise performance is optimized by adjusting the data rate and PGA setting. Generally, the lowest input-referred noise is achieved using the highest gain possible, consistent with the input signal range. Do not set the gain too high or the result is ADC overrange. Noise also depends on the output data rate. As the data rate reduces, the ADC bandwidth correspondingly reduces. This reduction in total bandwidth results in lower overall noise. Table 1 to Table 6 summarize the noise performance of the device. 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 were measured with the inputs shorted together. A minimum of 128 consecutive readings were used to calculate the root mean square (RMS) and peak-to-peak (PP) noise for each reading.

Table 1, Table 3, and Table 5 list the input-referred noise in units of μVRMS and μVPP for the conditions shown. Table 2, Table 4, and Table 6 list the corresponding data in units of ENOB (effective number of bits) where ENOB for the RMS noise is defined as in Equation 1:

Equation 1. ENOB = ln((2 · VREF/Gain) / VNRMS) / ln(2)

where

ENOB for the peak-to-peak noise is calculated with the same method.

Table 3 to Table 6 use the internal reference available on the ADS1247 and ADS1248. The data are also representative of the ADS1246 noise performance when using a low-noise external reference such as the REF5025 or the REF5020.
