ADS8860: Single-end input or differential input?

Part Number: ADS8860
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS8861

Hi team,

We can saw that our ADS8860 is for single-ended input.

But the pin have AINN & AINP, is that means this device can also use for differential input?

Which one do we recommend?

Thanks,

Brian

  • Hello Brian,

    The input structure is differential, but the ADS8860 is only calibrated to support single-ended inputs with AINN connected to ground (AINN is allowed to be within +/-0.1V to allow for small differences in the ground voltage in the system).

    If you need a differential input, then the ADS8861 is the correct part to use.
