ADS1191 - RLD amp

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1191

Hi all,

Would you mind if we ask ADS1191?

<Question1>
On the data sheet P10, RLDOUT shows "Analog Input", is it correct?
We quess that it is "Analog Output".

<Question2>
Please refer to following file. 
3566.20141113_ADS1191.pdf

When the Pin 28, 29, 30 connects to GND, the current increase from 1mA  to 2.5mA.
So, does it means increasing Isc?

<Question3> 
What is the RLD used for?

Could you let know us?
We need your help.

Kind regards,

Hirotaka Matsumoto

    Yes, you are correct. The RLDOUT is an analog output from the internal RLD amplifier.

    Pins 28, 29, and 30 should be connected to GND only if the RLD circuit will not be used in the application. For best performance, we recommend that none of the analog pins should be left floating if not in use. In addition, I recommend powering down the RLD amplifier. The increase in Isc is most likely from shorting the amplifier output to ground.

    The RLD amplifier is used to drive the subject to a known DC bias relative to the ECG subsystem. In addition, it helps to improve CMRR. You can refer to the following app note for more information: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/sbaa188
