ADS1018IRUGR datasheet by Texas Instruments

ADS1018IRUGR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum sampling rate of the ADS1018?
  The maximum sampling rate of the ADS1018 is 3,300 samples per second (SPS) for the 12-bit mode and 1,500 SPS for the 14-bit mode.
• How do I configure the gain settings for the ADS1018?
  The gain settings for the ADS1018 can be configured using the PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier) bits in the Config Register. The PGA bits allow you to set the gain to 2/3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 16.
• What is the purpose of the DRDY pin on the ADS1018?
  The DRDY (Data Ready) pin is an output pin that goes low when a new conversion result is available in the data register. It can be used to interrupt the microcontroller to read the conversion result.
• How do I power down the ADS1018 to reduce power consumption?
  The ADS1018 has a shutdown mode that can be enabled by setting the SHDN bit in the Config Register. This reduces the power consumption to less than 1 μA.
• What is the accuracy of the internal voltage reference on the ADS1018?
  The internal voltage reference on the ADS1018 has an accuracy of ±0.5% over the operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
