Product details
Overview
ADS1287IRHFT from Texas Instruments is a low-power, 31-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with integrated programmable gain amplifier (PGA), fourth-order modulator, and configurable FIR/IIR digital filter. It delivers 113 dB SNR at 1000 SPS (gain = 1, high-resolution mode), consumes 4.5 mW, and supports ±2.5 V to ±0.156 V sensor inputs-optimized for geophone/hydrophone interfacing in seismic data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1287IRHFT datasheet, ADS1287IRHFT pinout, ADS1287IRHFT application, or ADS1287IRHFT equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, functional context for seismic instrumentation design, real-world timing behavior (e.g., 63.4 ms DRDY latency at 1000 SPS), and validated alternative options for precision low-power ADC selection.
Technical Context
The ADS1287IRHFT implements a fourth-order, inherently stable delta-sigma modulator followed by a programmable FIR filter supporting linear or minimum-phase response and user-configurable high-pass filtering (0.1–10 Hz corner). Its CMOS PGA offers gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 with 50 GΩ common-mode input resistance and 15 nV/√Hz voltage noise density (high-res mode).
It operates with dual power domains: analog supplies AVDD/AVSS (±2.5 V or 5 V) and digital supply DVDD (2.25–3.6 V), uses a 1.024 MHz master clock (CLK), and communicates via SPI-compatible serial interface (CS/DIN/DOUT/SCLK) with synchronization (SYNC), reset (RESET), and power-down (PWDN) control signals.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The ADS1287IRHFT is housed in a 5.00 mm × 4.00 mm, 24-pin VQFN package (RHF) with exposed thermal pad electrically floated and soldered for mechanical reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 DRDY | Digital output | Active-low data-ready flag-indicates valid conversion result is available on DOUT; critical for deterministic data capture timing. |
| 2 DOUT | Digital output | SPI serial data output-transfers 32-bit conversion results (including status bits) synchronized to SCLK falling edge. |
| 3 DIN | Digital input | SPI serial command/data input-accepts register writes, calibration commands, and configuration sequences. |
| 4 CS | Digital input | Active-low chip select-enables SPI communication; must be held low for entire command/data transfer. |
| 5 SYNC | Digital input | Active-high synchronization trigger-resets internal filter pipeline and aligns conversion start across multiple devices. |
| 7 DGND | Ground | Digital ground reference-must be tied to low-impedance digital ground plane; separate from analog ground (AGND not present; AVSS serves as analog return). |
| 8 CAPN / 9 CAPP | Analog output | PGA differential outputs-require 10-nF C0G capacitor between pins to stabilize feedback and suppress oscillation. |
| 12 AINP / 13 AINN | Analog input | Differential analog input pair-accepts ±0.156 V to ±2.5 V signals; high-impedance (50 GΩ) enables direct geophone connection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution, low-power ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1286IRHFT | 24-bit resolution, 4 kSPS max, no integrated PGA, lower SNR (107 dB), 3.3 mW at 1 kSPS | Targeted at higher-speed, lower-precision industrial sensing-not suitable for microvolt-level seismic signals. | Select only if resolution ≤24 bits suffices and external signal conditioning is acceptable. |
| AD7768-1BCPZ | 32-bit, 256 kSPS, ΣΔ architecture, integrated buffer, but 39 mW at 256 kSPS and no onboard PGA | Designed for wideband vibration analysis (e.g., predictive maintenance), not ultra-low-frequency geophysics. | Choose when bandwidth >1 kHz is required and system can accommodate higher power and external gain. |

FAQ
What is the maximum achievable SNR of the ADS1287IRHFT and under what conditions?
The ADS1287IRHFT achieves a maximum SNR of 113 dB at 1000 SPS with gain = 1 in high-resolution mode, measured with shorted inputs, chop enabled, and fCLK = 1.024 MHz. This value is specified over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range and reflects the device's optimized noise floor for low-frequency precision applications like seismic monitoring. The ADS1287IRHFT maintains ≥110 dB SNR across all supported gains up to 16.
Does the ADS1287IRHFT require an external reference voltage, and what are the tolerance requirements?
Yes, the ADS1287IRHFT requires an external differential reference voltage applied to REFP and REFN pins. The recommended differential reference voltage is 2.5 V ±0.025 V (2.45–2.55 V), with absolute input voltages constrained to AVSS + 0.1 V ≤ V(REFN) ≤ V(REFP) – 2.45 V and V(REFP) ≤ AVDD + 0.1 V. The ADS1287IRHFT does not include an internal reference; stability and accuracy of the external reference directly impact overall measurement accuracy.
How does the SYNC pin function in multi-device synchronization, and what timing constraints apply?
The SYNC pin on the ADS1287IRHFT provides hardware-triggered alignment of the digital filter pipeline across multiple devices. A rising edge on SYNC resets internal filters and initiates simultaneous conversion starts. For reliable operation, the CLK rising edge must occur ≥30 ns after SYNC rising edge (td(CLSY) ≥30 ns), and SYNC pulse width must exceed two fCLK cycles. This ensures deterministic, sub-sample phase coherence essential for seismic array beamforming. The ADS1287IRHFT supports both pulse-sync and continuous-sync modes.
What is the power-up sequence and time-to-first-data for the ADS1287IRHFT?
The ADS1287IRHFT requires no strict power-supply sequencing between AVDD/AVSS and DVDD, but AVDD and AVSS must be stable before DVDD. After power-on, the device requires 216 fCLK cycles (~211 ms at 1.024 MHz) to reach communication readiness (tp(PUCM)), then an additional 252.4 ms to output the first valid conversion (tp(PUDR)). Total time-to-first-data is therefore ~463 ms. The ADS1287IRHFT asserts DRDY low after this interval, signaling ready status.
Can the ADS1287IRHFT operate with a single 5-V analog supply instead of dual ±2.5-V supplies?
Yes, the ADS1287IRHFT supports single-supply analog operation: AVDD = 5 V and AVSS = 0 V (ground), with appropriate level-shifting of input signals and reference. In this configuration, the input common-mode range is centered at 2.5 V, and differential inputs (AINP–AINN) must remain within ±2.5 V. The device's PGA and ADC specifications-including SNR, THD, and CMRR-are fully characterized and guaranteed for both dual-supply (±2.5 V) and single-supply (5 V/0 V) operation. The ADS1287IRHFT datasheet explicitly lists AVDD to AVSS = 4.75–5.25 V as a recommended condition.
