Overview

The ADS1232IPW is a precision 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring an integrated low-noise programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and a two-channel differential multiplexer. It is specifically designed for high-resolution measurement applications where low-level signals from bridge sensors must be digitized accurately.

Why Choose This Part

The device integrates a PGA with gains up to 128, providing 17nV input noise for direct sensor connection without external amplifiers. It features an onboard oscillator and simple pin-driven control for gain and data rate, which simplifies firmware development and reduces PCB footprint.

Applications

Weigh Scales
Utilizes the 24-bit resolution and low-noise PGA to interface directly with load cells for high-accuracy weight measurement.
Strain Gauge Measurement
Captures minute resistance changes in bridge-configured strain gauges for structural health monitoring or industrial pressure sensing.
Temperature Sensing
Supports high-accuracy RTD and thermocouple measurements using the internal temperature sensor and low-noise front end.
Industrial Process Control
Used in PLC analog input modules to monitor sensor data with minimal external signal conditioning components.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, use the ADS1232REF reference design board from Texas Instruments. Interface the device via its SPI-compatible serial interface, ensuring the external reference voltage is stable as accuracy is directly tied to this source. The PDWN pin should be held low during power-up to ensure a clean internal reset.
