7.1 Overview

The ADS127L21 is a high-performance, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The device features data rates up to 512kSPS in the wideband filter mode and 1.365MHz in the low-latency filter mode. Programmable digital filters allow customized filter response. The device offers four speed modes that provide trade-offs between resolution, bandwidth, and power consumption.

The Functional Block Diagram shows the features of the ADS127L21. Input and positive-reference precharge buffers increase the input impedance for reduced system errors. The VCM output provides a mid-supply voltage to drive the common-mode voltage of an external input driver.

The differential input signal is defined as VIN = (VAINP – VAINN) and the differential reference is defined as VREF = (VREFP – VREFN). The multibit delta-sigma modulator measures the differential input signal against the differential reference. The modulator shapes the quantization noise to an out-of-band frequency range where the noise is removed by the digital filter. The noise remaining within the signal band is constant-density white noise. The digital filter decimates and filters the modulator data to provide the high-resolution output data.

The digital filter has two operating modes: low-latency and wideband. The low-latency mode consists of a programmable sinc3 or sinc4 filter, with the option of a sinc1 filter in cascade operation. The low-latency filter minimizes latency time for dc signal measurements.

The wideband filter consists of a preset or programmable coefficient FIR filter with a four biquad IIR filter operating in series. The IIR filter allows customized filters such as high pass, band pass, band reject, low pass, and so on.

The programmable oversampling ratio (OSR) combined with four speed modes allows optimization of signal bandwidth, resolution, and power consumption.

The SPI-compatible serial interface is used to configure the device and read conversion data. The interface features daisy-chaining capability for simplified SPI routing in multichannel, simultaneous-sampled systems. Integrated cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error monitoring improves system-level reliability. The DRDY pin indicates when conversion data are ready. The DRDY function can be combined with the SDO/DRDY pin to reduce the number of SPI lines.

The device supports external clock operation for ac or dc signal applications and an internal oscillator for dc signal applications. The START pin synchronizes the digital filter process. The RESET pin resets the ADC.

Supply voltage AVDD1 powers the precharge buffers and the input sampling switches. AVDD2 powers the modulator via an internal voltage regulator. Supply voltage IOVDD is the digital I/O voltage that also powers the digital core with a digital voltage regulator. The internal regulators minimize power consumption while providing consistent levels of performance.
