ADS1294: I would like to ask you about changing from differential mode to single-ended mode.

Part Number: ADS1294

Tool/software:

Hello, I have one question. I was originally used as differential mode, but there are cases that I need to measure the heart rate with one hand.

In the circuit, after removing R158, R163 from the HW point, it was tested by mounting a 0 ohm resistance instead of C228.

However, I don't understand when I checked the value.

1. From HW, I wonder if the filter value is correct when using single-ended mode.

In the differential mode filter, I left the negative channel as it is and only changed the positive to the analog GND, is there anything that should change the filter value?

2. I would like to ask if there is any firmware or config modification when changing from differential mode to single-ended mode.

I'll be waiting for the reply. Thank you.

  • Hello Dongyeong,

    Thank you for your post. Please excuse the delay as I was out of the office for a few days.

    The ADS1294 will always convert the voltage between the P and N input pins of each channel. The volts-per-code conversion remains exactly the same (1 LSB = full-scale range / 2^n). The only requirement is that the input common-mode voltage must be maintained per the equation in the data sheet. As such, there is nothing to change in firmware to support single-ended measurements.

    Regards,
