ADS1285: ADS1285. PGA input impedance?

Part Number: ADS1285

Tool/software:

Hello. I am designing a board that must acquire the signals of some geophones and I want to use the ADS1285 analog-to-digital converter. In the datasheet I can not find the indication of the input impedance of the PGA pins. Can you provide me with this data?

  • Hi Giancarlo De Marchi,

    You can infer the input impedance from the amplifier input current, for example the input impedance can be approximated as 1V / 45 nA = 22.2Mohm. I have copied with the relevant specs below from the datasheet (PGA enabled, or PGA bypassed i.e. buffer = on). There are also plots across input voltage in the datasheet that you can review.
