ADS1298 - 8-Channel, 24-Bit ADC for ECG/EEG
ADS1298 - 8-Channel, 24-Bit ADC for ECG/EEG
The eight-channel, 24-bit ADS1298 is the first in a family of fully integrated Analog Front Ends (AFEs) for patient monitoring, portable and high-end electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG). The ADS1298 simplifies design by integrating all common features required for ECG and EEG front ends, using up to 95% fewer components for significant board-space savings.
The ADS1294/6/8 are a family of multichannel, simultaneous sampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) with a built-in programmable gain amplifier (PGA), internal reference, and an onboard oscillator. They have a flexible input multiplexer per channel that can be independently connected to the internally-generated signals for test, temperature, and lead-off detection.
