The ADS1218 is a precision, wide dynamic range, delta-sigma, Analog-toDigital (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. The eight input channels are multiplexed. Internal buffering can be selected to provide a very high input impedance for direct connection to transducers or low-level voltage signals. Burn out current sources are provided that allow for the detection of an open or shorted sensor. An 8-bit Digital-to-Analog (D/ A) converter provides an offset correction with a range of 50% of the FSR (Full-Scale Range).
