ADS8324: ADS8324 Set up?

Part Number: ADS8324

DEARS.

ADS8324 is being tested on the board we designed.

The maximum value of ADS8324 is output up to 1FFF (2^13=8191) and 2.5V.

IN (2.5 to 5V) indicates 8191 only.

How do I read from 0V to 5V?

Thank you

  • Hello,

    This device used 2s compliment to display the polarity of signal, thus you will need to implement this in the master's method of decoding the output. If a measurement has an MSB of 1, is it negative, and if the MSB is 0 it is positive.

    This device is 14 bits, that means that there at 2^14= 16384 output combinations. but because it is a bipolar device, then the range is -8192 to 8190

    Within Coding Schemes for ADC, on page 6, this format is further explained.

    Regards

  • Hi Henry,

    Just to add a little more here, the ADS8324 Is not really characterized to 5V, please take a look at the Power Supply Requirements on page 3 of the datasheet.  Also, please take a look at Figure 10.  The input is meant to swing +/-Vref around Vref.  If you tie IN- to Vref instead of GND, you should be able to realize 2Vref on IN+.
