THEORY OF OPERATION
This section discusses the details of the ADS129x internal functional elements. The analog blocks are reviewed
first, followed by the digital interface. Blocks implementing ECG-specific functions are covered in the end.
Throughout this document, f
CLK
denotes the frequency of the signal at the CLK pin, t
CLK
denotes the period of the
signal at the CLK pin, f
DR
denotes the output data rate, t
DR
denotes the time period of the output data, and f
MOD
denotes the frequency at which the modulator samples the input.
EMI FILTER
An RC filter at the input acts as an EMI filter on all of the channels. The 3dB filter bandwidth is approximately
3MHz.
INPUT MULTIPLEXER
The ADS129x input multiplexers are very flexible and provide many configurable signal switching options.
Figure 24 shows the multiplexer on a single channel of the device. Note that the device has eight such blocks,
one for each channel. TEST_PACE_OUT1, TEST_PACE_OUT2, and RLD_IN are common to all eight blocks.
VINP and VINN are separate for each of the eight blocks. This flexibility allows for significant device and
sub-system diagnostics, calibration, and configuration. Selection of switch settings for each channel is made by
writing the appropriate values to the CHnSET[2:0] register (see the CHnSET: Individual Channel Settings section
for details) and by writing the RLD_MEAS bit in the CONFIG3 register (see the CONFIG3: Configuration Register
3 subsection of the Register Map section for details). More details of the ECG-specific features of the multiplexer
are presented in the Input Multiplexer subsection of the ECG-Specifc Functions section.
(1) MVDD monitor voltage supply depends on channel number; see the Supply Measurements (MVDDP, MVDDN)
section.
