Texas Instruments ADS124S0x Low-Power Analog-to-Digital Converters

Texas Instruments ADS124S0x Low-Power Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) are precision, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ), ADCs with low power consumption. The ADS124S0x feature many integrated features to reduce system cost and component count in applications measuring small-signal sensors.

These Texas Instruments ADCs feature configurable digital filters that offer low-latency conversion results and 50Hz or 60Hz rejection for noisy industrial environments. A low-noise, programmable gain amplifier (PGA) provides gains ranging from 1 to 128 to amplify low-level signals for resistive bridge or thermocouple applications.

Additionally, these devices integrate a low-drift, 2.5V reference that reduces printed circuit board (PCB) area. Finally, two programmable excitation current sources (IDACs) allow for easy and accurate RTD biasing.
