ADS7280: synchronized ADC two signals

dong andy

Part Number: ADS7280
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS7142, , ADS8354, ADS8881

Our requirements:
1, ECG signal (0.01~150Hz);
2, Heart sound signal (20~2KHz);
3, These two signal need to be synchronized ADC;
4, Just ADC these two signals, No need DSP etc;

My thought, these two signal have ADC at the same sample rate (125KHz) and then
downsample to the different sample rate.

Two options ADC chips:
1, MSP432, It has 24 chs 14bit (1MSPS) ADC;
2, ADS7142;
3, ADS7280;

Can you give me better solution or suggestion?

Thanks,

Andy

Hello, Andy.

Options 1 and 3 above are not simultaneous sampling, and Option 2 is only 12 bits. Plus, Option 2 has an I2C interface, which is not fast enough to get data out at 125ksps. Would you like to use something like an ADS8354? That one is 2 channel, simultaneously sampled, 16 bits, differential input, at 700ksps max.

Or maybe ADS8881? That one is 18-bit 1Msps with differential input.

Is simultaneous sampling a key feature? With a 1Msps 2-channel mux’ed input ADC, each sample could be separated by only one microsecond.

There are many options here.

Thanks, Bryan.
Yes, Simultaneous sampling is a key feature. External channel mux is second choice if there are NO better simultaneous ADC. I will try to use ADS8354 to do some test.
