8-Channel, 24-Bit
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER with FLASH Memory
The eight input channels are multiplexed. Internal

low-level voltage signals. Burnout current sources are
provided that allow for the detection of an open or
22 BITS EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION (PGA = 1),
shorted sensor. An 8-bit Digital-to-Analog (D/A)
19 BITS (PGA = 128)
converter provides an offset correction with a range

of 50% of the FSR (Full-Scale Range).
PROGRAMMABLE FROM 2.7V TO 5.25V
The PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier) provides
PGA FROM 1 TO 128
selectable gains of 1 to 128 with an effective
SINGLE CYCLE SETTLING MODE
resolution of 19 bits at a gain of 128. The A/D

delta-sigma modulator and programmable sinc filter.
The reference input is differential and can be used for

The ADS1218 is a precision, wide dynamic range,
delta-sigma, Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter with
24-bit resolution and Flash memory operating from
2.7V to 5.25V supplies. The delta-sigma, A/D
converter provides up to 24 bits of no missing code
performance and effective resolution of 22 bits.
