The ADS130E08IPAG is a 16-bit Analog-to-digital Converter (ADC) with a built-in programmable gain amplifier (PGA), internal reference and an external oscillator interface. It is a multi-channel, simultaneous sampling, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) device incorporates commonly-required features in industrial metering applications. With high levels of integration and exceptional performance, the ADC enables the creation of scalable industrial power systems at significantly reduced size and power. The ADC has a flexible input multiplexer per channel that can be independently connected to the internally-generated signals for test, temperature and fault detection. The ADC operates at a data rate of 8kSPS. Fault detection can be implemented internal to the device using the integrated comparators with digital-to-analog converter (DAC)-controlled trigger levels. Multiple devices can be cascaded in high channel count systems in a daisy-chain configuration.
