The ADS1602 is a high-speed, high-precision, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured on an advanced CMOS process. The ADS1602 oversampling topology reduces clock jitter sensitivity during the sampling of high-frequency, large amplitude signals by a factor of four over that achieved by Nyquist-rate ADCs. Consequently, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is particularly improved. Total harmonic distortion (THD) is –101dB, and the spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is 103dB.

Optimized for power and performance, the ADS1602 dissipates only 530mW while providing a full-scale differential input range of ±3V. Having such a wide input range makes out-of-range signals unlikely. The OTR pin indicates if an analog input out-of-range condition does occur. The differential input signal is measured against the differential reference, which can be generated internally or supplied externally on the ADS1602.

The ADS1602 uses an inherently stable advanced modulator with an on-chip decimation filter. The filter stop band extends to 38.6MHz, which greatly simplifies the antialiasing circuitry. The modulator samples the input signal up to 40MSPS, depending on fCLK, while the 16x decimation filter uses a series of four half-band FIR filter stages to provide 75dB of stop band attenuation and 0.001dB of passband ripple.Read more
