hi,
I am currently working on ADS1258. I wanted to know that How can a ADS1258 eliminate the need of a separate HPF and antialising filter before the
MUX part in whole AFE???
Thanks...

Hi Talha,
The digital filter low pass characteristic repeats, or aliases back, at multiples of the modulator rate of fclk/2. Thinking of this from a purely DC perspective, if you take a FFT of the DC input signal, you will see that signal alias at roughly 8MHz and 16MHz. Take a look at Figure 44 and the text shown on page 20 describing aliasing effects in the converter. In designs, we recommend a simple first order input RC filter to knock down the aliasing signal effects. You can see on page 45 we show a recommended setup using two OPA365 drive amplifiers in combination with a 47 ohm and 2.2nF differential RC filter. You will notice that the ADS1258 does not include a internal driving buffer and for that reason, we recommend the driving op amps in combination with the low pass filter to help with aliasing effects. I am not exactly sure why you would need a high pass filter.
