Product details
Overview
ADS1285IRHBT from Texas Instruments is a 32-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with integrated PGA, dual-channel multiplexer, and programmable digital filtering (sinc + FIR + IIR), delivering 134dB dynamic range at 2ms conversion time and 11.5mW power in high-power mode. It supports ±2.5V/3.3V/5V analog supplies, 125–4000 SPS data rates, and direct geophone/hydrophone interfacing for seismic acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1285IRHBT datasheet, ADS1285IRHBT pinout, ADS1285IRHBT application, or ADS1285IRHBT equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, functional pin roles, seismic-grade noise performance (THD < –120dB, CMRR 125dB), power-mode trade-offs, and validated alternative options for precision low-frequency measurement systems.
Technical Context
The ADS1285IRHBT integrates a high-resolution ΔΣ modulator with a flexible post-processing chain: selectable sinc filter followed by configurable FIR (linear or minimum phase) and optional IIR high-pass filtering to remove DC and sub-1Hz content. Its sample rate converter compensates clock frequency errors with 7.45ppb resolution, enabling stable timing in battery-powered field instruments.
It features a two-channel analog multiplexer, offset/gain calibration registers, SYNC input for synchronized multi-device acquisition, and programmable PGA gains from 1 to 64. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and supports PGA bypass for unity-gain buffer operation, reducing power to 4.8mW at 129dB DR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 32-bit output word length; enables 134dB dynamic range for microvolt-level seismic signal capture. |
| Data Rate | 125–4000 SPS; supports both slow high-precision surveys (e.g., passive monitoring) and faster active-source profiling. |
| Dynamic Range | 134dB at 2ms (high-power), 129dB at 2ms (mid-power); directly determines smallest detectable signal above noise floor. |
| THD | < –120dB; ensures minimal harmonic distortion when digitizing low-amplitude, low-frequency earth signals. |
| CMRR | 125dB at 60Hz; rejects common-mode interference from power-line coupling in unshielded field deployments. |
| PGA Gain Range | 1 to 64 V/V; allows optimal signal scaling for diverse sensor outputs (geophones: ~100V/m/s, hydrophones: mV/Pa). |
| Reference Options | 2.5V / 4.096V / 5V; 4.096V reference enables exact 16-bit-aligned scaling for simplified firmware math. |
Pinout & Package
The ADS1285IRHBT is housed in a 32-pin, 5mm × 5mm VQFN package (RHB) with exposed thermal pad connected to AVSS. Pin functions are validated per TI SBAS559B Rev. November 2025.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN1P / AIN1N AIN2P / AIN2N |
Differential analog inputs | Two independent channels for geophone/hydrophone pairs; supports differential sensor connection with >125dB CMRR. |
| CAPP / CAPN CAPBP / CAPBN CAPC / CAI / CAPR |
Internal capacitor connections | Required external C0G/NPO capacitors (10nF, 47nF, 4.7nF, 100nF) stabilize PGA, buffer, charge pump, and reference bias circuits. |
| AVDD1 / AVDD2 / AVSS / AGND | Analog power and ground | Separate supplies: AVDD1/AVSS for PGA, AVDD2 for modulator; AGND isolation minimizes digital noise coupling into analog path. |
| REFP / REFN | Reference voltage inputs | Accepts 2.5V/4.096V/5V references; REFP–REFN defines full-scale range; internal biasing requires CAPR–AVSS capacitor. |
| DIN / DOUT / SCLK / CS / DRDY / CLK / SYNC / RESET / PWDN | Digital interface & control | SPI-compatible serial interface with data-ready strobe; SYNC enables deterministic multi-ADC synchronization; PWDN enters µA-level sleep. |
| GPIO0 / GPIO1 | General-purpose I/O | Configurable as inputs or outputs; usable for status signaling, external trigger coordination, or sensor bias control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Selectably optimized power modes | Three modes (high/mid/low) trade 134dB/11.5mW ↔ 129dB/4.8mW ↔ 125dB/3.4mW - enabling battery life extension without sacrificing required DR. |
| Programmable FIR + IIR filtering | FIR offers linear or minimum-phase response; IIR high-pass corner adjustable from 0.1Hz to 10Hz - removes drift and environmental low-freq noise. |
| On-chip offset and gain calibration | Registers allow one-time or periodic correction of system-level errors; eliminates need for external calibration hardware in field-deployed units. |
| Sample rate converter with clock error compensation | 7.45ppb resolution corrects crystal aging/tolerance; maintains accurate timing over temperature and years - critical for long-term seismic arrays. |
| Direct sensor interface capability | Low-noise PGA (5.5nV/√Hz @ G=16) and input protection enable direct geophone connection - removes external amplifier stage and associated noise/error sources. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution, low-frequency ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1286IRHBT | 31-bit resolution, 128dB DR at 2ms, no IIR filter, lower max data rate (2000 SPS), identical RHB-32 package and pinout. | Lacks high-pass IIR stage; unsuitable for DC-coupled geophone arrays requiring sub-1Hz noise removal. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for IIR-based baseline suppression and highest DR. |
| AD7768-1ACPZ | 24-bit, 115dB DR, 128kSPS max, sigma-delta with sinc3 + FIR, SPI interface, 32-lead LFCSP, different pin assignment. | Higher speed but lower resolution; designed for vibration/industrial DAQ, not ultra-low-frequency seismic. | Choose for multi-axis vibration analysis or mixed-signal systems needing higher bandwidth, not for microseismic detection. |
Compared with ADS1285IRHBT, ADS1286IRHBT offers pin compatibility and lower cost but sacrifices 6dB DR and IIR filtering; AD7768-1ACPZ delivers higher throughput but cannot match the 134dB/0.1Hz noise floor required for passive seismic array nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum achievable dynamic range of the ADS1285IRHBT and under what conditions?
The ADS1285IRHBT achieves up to 134dB dynamic range at 2ms conversion time in high-power mode with 5V analog supplies and 4.096V reference. This specification is measured with PGA enabled at gain = 1, fDATA = 500 SPS, and proper external capacitor network (C0G/NPO types) installed per datasheet Section 4.1. The ADS1285IRHBT maintains 129dB DR in mid-power mode, trading 5dB for nearly 60% power reduction.
Does the ADS1285IRHBT support true differential input on both channels?
Yes, the ADS1285IRHBT supports fully differential inputs on both AIN1 (AIN1P/AIN1N) and AIN2 (AIN2P/AIN2N) channels. Each pair connects directly to the internal PGA with matched front-end paths, delivering 125dB CMRR at 60Hz. The device does not require external resistive networks for common-mode rejection - the differential architecture is intrinsic to its analog input stage design per TI SBAS559B Section 5.5.
Can the ADS1285IRHBT operate with a 3.3V analog supply, and what impact does that have on performance?
Yes, the ADS1285IRHBT supports AVDD1 = 3.3V (with AVSS = 0V) per Recommended Operating Conditions (Section 5.3). At 3.3V, high-power mode delivers 134dB DR and 11.5mW total power, matching the 5V spec. THD remains < –120dB, and noise density is unchanged. However, full-scale input range reduces proportionally: with 4.096V reference, max differential input becomes ±2.048V/Gain instead of ±2.5V/Gain at 5V.
How does the sample rate converter in the ADS1285IRHBT compensate for clock inaccuracy?
The ADS1285IRHBT's sample rate converter uses a fractional-N interpolator to adjust effective sampling rate based on real-time clock error measurement, achieving 7.45ppb resolution. It continuously monitors CLK period deviation against internal timing references and dynamically adjusts decimation ratios to maintain precise output data timing - critical for maintaining phase alignment across multi-node seismic arrays without external GPS disciplining.
What external components are mandatory for stable operation of the ADS1285IRHBT?
Mandatory external components include: 10nF C0G capacitors across CAPP–CAPN; 47nF C0G from CAPBP/CAPBN to AVSS; 4.7nF ≥10V ceramic capacitor from CAPC to AGND; 100nF ceramic from CAPI to AGND; 100nF ceramic from CAPR to AVSS; and 220nF ceramic from CAPD to DGND. All are specified in Table 4-1 and Figure 4-1 of the ADS1285IRHBT datasheet - omission causes instability, increased noise, or failure to meet AC specs.
