PRODUCTION DATA.
The ADS131A02 and ADS131A04 are low-power, two- and four-channel, simultaneous-sampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ), analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with an integrated low-drift internal reference voltage. Data rate flexibility, wide dynamic range, and interface options make these devices good choices when designing for smart-grid and other industrial power monitor, control, and protection applications. The ADC interface data integrity features provide for a very low rate of transmission errors. Throughout this document, the ADS131A02 and ADS131A04 are referred to as the ADS131A0x.
The ADS131A0x has very flexible power-supply options. A 5-V single-supply (or ±2.5-V bipolar-supply) operation is available to support up to a 4.5-V external reference to maximize the dynamic range of the converter. Alternatively, a negative charge pump can be enabled to accept absolute input signals down to –1.5 V below ground when powered from a single 3.3-V supply. Five gain options are available to help maximize the ADC code range and 16 selectable oversampling ratio (OSR) options are selectable to optimize the converter for a specific data rate. The low-drift internal reference can be programmed to either 2.442 V or 4 V. Input signal out-of-range detection can be accomplished by using the integrated comparators, with programmable trigger-point settings. A detailed diagram of the ADS131A0x is shown in the Functional Block Diagram section.
The device offers multiple serial peripheral interface (SPI) communication options to provide flexibility for interfacing to microprocessors or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Synchronous real-time and asynchronous interrupt communication modes are available using the SPI-compatible interface. Multiple devices can share a common SPI port and are synchronized by using the DRDY signal. Device communication is specified through configuration of the M0 interface mode pin and chaining of the DONE signal. Optional cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and hamming code correction on the interface enhance communication integrity.
