Introducing the ADS1018IRUGT from Texas Instruments

The ADS1018IRUGT is a precision analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 12 bits of resolution offered by Texas Instruments. Designed for applications requiring high accuracy and low power consumption, this ADC is an ideal choice for a wide range of industry sectors, including automation, control systems, and portable instrumentation.

At the heart of the ADS1018IRUGT lies a delta-sigma modulator that provides 12 bits of resolution with no missing codes. This product features a data rate that ranges from 128SPS to 3.3kSPS, allowing users to optimize the trade-off between speed and power consumption. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, it is suitable for harsh environments and can maintain reliable performance under extreme conditions.

This versatile ADC comes with an integrated temperature sensor that provides additional functionality for temperature monitoring applications. It also includes a multiplexer (MUX) with four single-ended or two differential inputs, giving the flexibility to connect multiple sensors to a single ADC. The precision reference and oscillator further simplify the design by reducing the need for external components.

The ADS1018IRUGT boasts a SPI-compatible serial interface, making it easy to communicate with microcontrollers and other digital systems. This interface also supports daisy-chaining of multiple devices, which is beneficial for systems requiring multiple ADC channels.

Key features of the ADS1018IRUGT include:

• 12-bit resolution with no missing codes
• Data rates from 128SPS to 3.3kSPS
• Internal temperature sensor
