Overview

The ADS1220IPWR is a highly integrated, 24-bit sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter designed for high-precision measurement of small-signal sensors. It features a flexible input multiplexer supporting four single-ended or two differential inputs, a low-noise programmable gain amplifier (PGA), and two programmable excitation current sources for resistive sensors.

Why Choose This Part

This ADC significantly reduces BOM complexity by integrating a low-drift 2.048V internal reference, an oscillator, and a precision temperature sensor for cold-junction compensation. Its ability to operate down to 2.3V with a power-down current of 0.4uA makes it excellent for battery-powered remote sensing applications.

Applications

Temperature Measurement
Ideal for RTD, thermocouple, and thermistor measurements using the integrated PGA and excitation currents.
Bridge Sensor Interface
Precision digitization for pressure sensors and strain gauges in industrial weighing scales.
Portable Instrumentation
Suitability for handheld devices due to low 120uA typical current consumption and duty-cycle mode.
Factory Automation
Robust sensor monitoring in PLC analog input modules and process control systems.
