Product details
Overview
ADS1260BIRHBR from Texas Instruments is a 24-bit precision delta-sigma ADC with integrated PGA (gain 1–128), internal 2.5-V reference (2 ppm/°C drift), simultaneous 50/60-Hz rejection, and sensor excitation current sources. It supports five single-ended or three differential inputs and operates from –40°C to +125°C in industrial PLC analog input modules and weigh-scale systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1260BIRHBR datasheet, ADS1260BIRHBR pinout, ADS1260BIRHBR application, or ADS1260BIRHBR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 30 nVRMS noise at 20 SPS (gain = 128), 1 nV/°C offset drift, 5-mm × 5-mm VQFN-32 package, CRC-8-ATM data integrity, and support for RTD and bridge sensor measurement without external excitation circuitry.
Technical Context
The ADS1260BIRHBR implements a chopper-stabilized delta-sigma modulator with programmable digital filtering enabling single-cycle settling and line-frequency rejection. Its PGA features 1 GΩ input impedance and low input bias current (6 nA typical), minimizing sensor loading error in high-impedance applications like strain gauges and thermistors.
Integrated diagnostics include signal monitor, reference monitor, supply monitor, temperature sensor, and burn-out current sources - all operating concurrently with conversion. The device uses an internal oscillator (7.3728 MHz) or external clock and communicates via SPI-compatible serial interface with DOUT/DRDY dual-function pin and CRC verification on data reads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full-scale accuracy for high-fidelity sensor digitization. |
| Data Rate | 2.5 SPS to 40 kSPS - enables flexible trade-off between noise performance (30 nVRMS at 20 SPS) and throughput. |
| PGA Gain Range | 1 to 128 - supports direct connection of mV-level sensors (±7 mV min) to ±5 V full-scale range without external amplification. |
| Reference Drift | 2 ppm/°C (max over 0°C to 85°C) - ensures stable scaling across temperature in precision weighing and process control. |
| Offset Drift | 1 nV/°C - maintains baseline stability in long-duration measurements such as lab instrumentation and environmental monitoring. |
| INL Error | ±2 ppm FSR (gain ≤16) - delivers sub-ppm linearity critical for calibration-grade metrology and analytical instrumentation. |
| Excitation Currents | 50 µA to 3 mA (8 settings) - enables direct 2-/3-/4-wire RTD measurement and bridge sensor biasing without discrete current sources. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-32 (RHB), 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm, exposed thermal pad soldered to AVSS for thermal and mechanical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN4, AINCOM | Analog input channels | Supports 5 single-ended or 3 differential inputs; AINCOM serves as common-mode reference and IDAC return path. |
| CAPP / CAPN | PGA output terminals | Differential outputs for external filtering; require 4.7-nF C0G capacitor for stability per datasheet layout guidance. |
| REFOUT | Internal reference output | 2.5-V precision voltage source; requires 10-µF bypass to AVSS for low-noise operation. |
| DOUT/DRDY | Serial data output / data ready indicator | Active-low DRDY flag and SPI data output share one pin - simplifies PCB routing but requires careful timing coordination. |
| START / CS / SCLK / DIN | Conversion control & SPI interface | Asynchronous START initiates conversion; SPI uses standard 4-wire protocol with chip select and clock synchronization. |
| PWDN / RESET | Power management & initialization | PWDN reduces current to 2–8 µA; RESET provides hardware reset with 4-cycle minimum pulse width. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous 50/60-Hz rejection | Eliminates need for external notch filters in AC-line-noise environments like factory-floor PLCs and power analyzers. |
| Single-cycle settling mode | Enables deterministic latency of exactly one data rate period - essential for closed-loop control and synchronized multi-channel sampling. |
| Integrated burn-out detection | 0.05–10 µA programmable current sources identify open-circuit sensors before conversion, preventing erroneous readings in safety-critical systems. |
| CRC-8-ATM data verification | Ensures integrity of readback register values and conversion results - critical for functional safety compliance (IEC 61508 SIL-2). |
| Signal & reference monitors | Real-time validation of PGA output, REFOUT voltage, and supply rails during conversion - detects fault conditions without halting measurement flow. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1261BIRHBR | 10-channel variant (5 diff / 10 SE), adds 4 GPIOs and AC excitation outputs; identical reference, PGA, and noise specs. | Required for multi-sensor systems needing >5 inputs or AC-driven bridge sensors (e.g., dynamic strain measurement). | Select ADS1261BIRHBR only when additional analog inputs or ACX capability are needed - not pin-compatible due to different AINx/IDAC/GPIO mapping. |
| AD7177-2BRUZ | 32-bit ADC, lower noise (15 nVRMS), no integrated IDACs or burn-out detection; requires external reference and excitation circuitry. | Suitable for ultra-high-resolution applications where external component count is acceptable and diagnostics are handled at system level. | Choose AD7177-2BRUZ when absolute lowest noise dominates requirements and system design accommodates external support components. |
Compared with ADS1261BIRHBR, the ADS1260BIRHBR trades channel count and GPIOs for smaller footprint and lower cost in fixed-input-count systems; versus AD7177-2BRUZ, it offers higher integration and built-in sensor interfaces at the expense of ultimate resolution - making it optimal for embedded industrial sensor nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the ADS1260BIRHBR?
The ADS1260BIRHBR supports a maximum data rate of 40 kSPS. At this rate, integral nonlinearity remains within ±5 ppm FSR for gains up to 32, and noise increases to approximately 120 nVRMS. For optimal noise performance, 20 SPS is recommended - delivering 30 nVRMS at gain = 128. The device maintains single-cycle settling and simultaneous 50/60-Hz rejection across its entire data rate range.
Does the ADS1260BIRHBR include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the ADS1260BIRHBR integrates a precision 2.5-V bandgap reference with initial error of ±0.1% (B-grade), temperature drift of 2 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C), and long-term drift of ±25 ppm over 1000 hours. This reference powers the ADC core and is available at the REFOUT pin for external use, requiring a 10-µF capacitor to AVSS for stability.
How many analog input channels does the ADS1260BIRHBR support?
The ADS1260BIRHBR supports five single-ended inputs (AIN0–AIN4) or three differential input pairs (AIN0–AINCOM, AIN1–AINCOM, AIN2–AINCOM). Unlike the ADS1261BIRHBR, it does not support GPIOs or AC excitation outputs, and pins AIN5–AIN9 are NC (no connect) in this variant.
What diagnostic functions are integrated into the ADS1260BIRHBR?
The ADS1260BIRHBR integrates signal monitor (PGA output), reference monitor (REFOUT), supply monitor (AVDD/AVSS/DVDD), internal temperature sensor (122.4 mV at 25°C, 420 µV/°C), and burn-out current sources (0.05–10 µA). These operate concurrently with conversions and report status via dedicated registers - enabling real-time fault detection without interrupting measurement flow.
Is the ADS1260BIRHBR pin-compatible with other devices in the ADS126x family?
No, the ADS1260BIRHBR is not pin-compatible with the ADS1261BIRHBR despite sharing the same VQFN-32 (RHB) package. Pin functions differ significantly: AIN5–AIN9 are NC on ADS1260BIRHBR but serve as analog inputs/GPIOs/ACX outputs on ADS1261BIRHBR, and the latter includes additional IDAC and excitation routing. PCB layout must be specific to each part number.
