This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

NOISE MEASUREMENTS

The ADS1194/6/8 noise performance can be optimized by adjusting the data rate and PGA setting. As the
averaging is increased by reducing the data rate, the noise drops correspondingly. Increasing the PGA value
reduces the input-referred noise, which is particularly useful when measuring low-level biopotential signals.
Table 1 summarizes the noise performance of the ADS1194/6/8, with a 3V analog power supply. Table 2
summarizes the noise performance of the ADS1194/6/8 with a 5V analog power supply. The data are
representative of typical noise performance at TA = +25°C. The data shown are the result of averaging the
readings from multiple devices and are measured with the inputs shorted together. A minimum of 1000
consecutive readings are used to calculate the peak-to-peak noise for each reading. For the two highest data
rates, the noise is limited by quantization noise of the ADC and does not have a gaussian distribution. The ratio
between rms noise and peak-to-peak noise for these two data rates are approximately 10. For the lower data
rates, the ratio is approximately 6.6.
Table 1 and Table 2 show measurements taken with an internal reference. In many of the settlings, espeically at
the lower data rates, the inherent device noise is less than 1LSB. For these cases, the noise is rounded up to
1LSB. The data are also representative of the ADS1194/6/8 noise performance when using a low-noise external
reference such as the REF5025.

OVERVIEW

The ADS1194/6/8 are low-power, multichannel, simultaneously-sampling, 16-bit delta-sigma (ΔΣ)


analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with integrated programmable gain amplifiers (PGAs). These devices
integrate various ECG-specific functions that make them well-suited for scalable electrocardiogram (ECG),
electroencephalography (EEG), and electromyography (EMG) applications. The devices can also be used in
high-performance, multichannel data acquisition systems by powering down the ECG-specific circuitry.
The ADS1194/6/8 have a highly programmable multiplexer that allows for temperature, supply, input short, and
RLD measurements. Additionally, the multiplexer allows any of the input electrodes to be programmed as the
patient reference drive. The PGA gain can be chosen from one of seven settings (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12). The
ADCs in the device offer data rates from 125SPS to 8kSPS. Communication to the device is accomplished using
an SPI-compatible interface. The device provides four GPIO pins for general use. Multiple devices can be
synchronized using the START pin.
The internal reference can be programmed to either 2.4V or 4V. The internal oscillator generates a 2.048MHz
clock. The versatile right leg drive (RLD) block allows the user to choose the average of any combination of
electrodes to generate the patient drive signal. Lead-off detection can be accomplished either by using a
pull-up/pull-down resistor or a current source/sink. An internal ac lead-off detection feature is also available. The
device supports both hardware pace detection and software pace detection. The Wilson center terminal (WCT)
block can be used to generate the WCT point of the standard 12-lead ECG.

THEORY OF OPERATION
This section contains details of the ADS1194/6/8 internal functional elements; see Figure 14. The analog blocks
are discussed first, followed by the digital interface. Blocks implementing ECG-specific functions are covered at
the end.
Throughout this document, fCLK denotes the frequency of the signal at the CLK pin, tCLK denotes the period of the
signal at the CLK pin, fDR denotes the output data rate, tDR denotes the time period of the output data, and fMOD
denotes the frequency at which the modulator samples the input.

EMI FILTER
An RC filter at the input acts as an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter on all of the channels. The –3dB filter
bandwidth is approximately 3MHz.

INPUT MULTIPLEXER
The ADS1194/6/8 input multiplexers are very flexible and provide many configurable signal switching options.
Figure 15 shows the multiplexer on a single channel of the device. Note that the device has eight such blocks,
one for each channel. TEST_PACE_OUT1, TEST_PACE_OUT2, and RLD_IN are common to all eight blocks.
VINP and VINN are separate for each of the eight blocks. This flexibility allows for significant device and
sub-system diagnostics, calibration and configuration. Selection of switch settings for each channel is made by
writing the appropriate values to the CHnSET[2:0] register (see the CHnSET: Individual Channel Settings section
for details) and by writing the RLD_MEAS bit in the CONFIG3 register (see the CONFIG3: Configuration Register
3 subsection of the Register Map section for details). More details of the ECG-specific features of the multiplexer
are discussed in the Input Multiplexer subsection of the ECG-Specifc Functions section.

Device Noise Measurements


Setting CHnSET[2:0] = 001 sets the common-mode voltage of (AVDD – AVSS)/2 to both inputs of the channel.
This setting can be used to test the inherent noise of the device in the user system.

Test Signals (TestP and TestN)


Setting CHnSET[2:0] = 101 provides internally-generated test signals for use in subsystem verification at
power-up. This functionality allows the entire signal chain to be tested out. Although the test signals are similar to
the CAL signals described in the IEC60601-2-51 specification, this feature is not intended for use in compliance
testing.
Control of the test signals is accomplished through register settings (see the CONFIG2: Configuration Register 2
subsection in the Register Map section for details). TEST_AMP controls the signal amplitude and TEST_FREQ
controls switching at the required frequency.
The test signals are multiplexed and transmitted out of the device at the TESTP_PACE_OUT1 and
TESTN_PACE_OUT2 pins. A bit register, INT_TEST = 0, deactivates the internal test signals so that the test
signal can be driven externally. This feature allows the calibration of multiple devices with the same signal. The
test signal feature cannot be used in conjunction with the external hardware pace feature (see the External
Hardware Approach subsection of the ECG-Specific Functions section for details).

Auxiliary Differential Input (TESTP_PACE_OUT1, TESTN_PACE_OUT2)


When hardware pace detect is not used, the TESTP_PACE_OUT1 and TESPN_PACE_OUT2 signals can be
used as a multiplexed differential input channel. These inputs can be multiplexed to any of the eight channels.
The performance of the differential input signal fed through these pins is identical to the normal channel
performance.

Temperature Sensor (TempP, TempN)


The ADS1194/6/8 contain an on-chip temperature sensor. This sensor uses two internal diodes with one diode
having a current density 16x that of the other, as shown in Figure 16. The difference in current densities of the
diodes yields a difference in voltage that is proportional to absolute temperature.
As a result of the low thermal resistance of the package to the printed circuit board (PCB), the internal device
temperature tracks the PCB temperature closely. Note that self-heating of the ADS1194/6/8 causes a higher
reading than the temperature of the surrounding PCB.
The scale factor of Equation 1 converts the temperature reading to °C. Before using this equation, the
temperature reading code must first be scaled to μV.

Supply Measurements (MVDDP, MVDDN)


Setting CHnSET[2:0] = 011 sets the channel inputs to different supply voltages of the device. For channels 1, 2,
5, 6, 7, and 8, (MVDDP – MVDDN) is [0.5 × (AVDD – AVSS)]; for channel 3 and 4, (MVDDP – MVDDN) is
DVDD/2. Note that to avoid saturating the PGA while measuring power supplies, the gain must be set to '1'.

Lead-Off Excitation Signals (LoffP, LoffN)


The lead-off excitation signals are fed into the multiplexer before the switches. The comparators that detect the
lead-off condition are also connected to the multiplexer block before the switches. For a detailed description of
the lead-off block, refer to the Lead-Off Detection subsection in the ECG-Specific Functions section.

Auxiliary Single-Ended Input


The RLD_IN pin is primarily used for routing the right leg drive signal to any of the electrodes in case the right leg
drive electrode falls off. However, the RLD_IN pin can be used as a multiple single-ended input channel. The
signal at the RLD_IN pin can be measured with respect to the voltage at the RLD_REF pin using any of the eight
channels. This measurement is done by setting the channel multiplexer setting to '010' and the RLD_MEAS bit of
the CONFIG3 register to '1'.

ANALOG INPUT
The analog input to the ADS1198 is fully differential. Assuming PGA = 1, the differential input (INP – INN) can
span between –VREF to +VREF. Note that the absolute range for INP and INN must be between AVSS – 0.3 V and
AVDD + 0.3 V. Refer to Table 6 for an explanation of the correlation between the analog input and the digital
codes. There are two general methods of driving the analog input of the ADS1198: single-ended or differential,
as shown in Figure 17 and Figure 18. When the input is single-ended, the INN input is held at the common-mode
voltage, preferably at mid-supply. The INP input swings around the same common voltage and the peak-to-peak
amplitude is the (common-mode + 1/2VREF) and the (common-mode – 1/2VREF). When the input is differential,
the common-mode is given by (INP + INN)/2. Both the INP and INN inputs swing from (common-mode + 1/2VREF
to common-mode – 1/2VREF). For optimal performance, it is recommended that the ADS1198 be used in a
differential configuration.

PGA SETTINGS AND INPUT RANGE


The PGA is a differential input/differential output amplifier, as shown in Figure 19. It has seven gain settings (1,
2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12) that can be set by writing to the CHnSET register (see the CHnSET: Individual Channel
Settings subsection of the Register Map section for details). The ADS1194/6/8 have CMOS inputs and hence
have negligible current noise. Table 4 shows the typical values of bandwidths for various gain settings. Note that
Table 4 shows the small-signal bandwidth. For large signals, the performance is limited by the slew rate of the
PGA.

The resistor string of the PGA that implements the gain has 120kΩ of resistance for a gain of 6. This resistance
provides a current path across the outputs of the PGA in the presence of a differential input signal. This current
is in addition to the quiescent current specified for the device in the presence of differential signal at input.

Input Common-Mode Range


The usable input common-mode range of the front end depends on various parameters, including the maximum
differential input signal, supply voltage, PGA gain, etc. This range is described in Equation 2:
Gain VMAX_DIFF Gain VMAX_DIFF
AVDD - 0.2 - > CM > AVSS + 0.2 +
2 2

where:
VMAX_DIFF = maximum differential signal at the input of the PGA
CM = common-mode range (2)
For example:
If VDD = 3V, gain = 6, and VMAX_DIFF = 350mV
Then 1.25V < CM < 1.75V

Input Differential Dynamic Range


The differential (INP – INN) signal range depends on the analog supply and reference used in the system. This
range is shown in Equation 3.
VREF ±VREF
Max (INP - INN) < ; Full-Scale Range =
Gain Gain (3)
The 3V supply, with a reference of 2.4V and a gain of 6 for ECGs, is optimized for power with a differential input
signal of approximately 300mV. For higher dynamic range, a 5V supply with a reference of 4V (set by the
VREF_4V bit of the CONFIG3 register) can be used to increase the differential dynamic range.

ADC ΔΣ Modulator
Each channel of the ADS1194/6/8 has a 16-bit ΔΣ ADC. This converter uses a second-order modulator
optimized for low-power applications. The modulator samples the input signal at the rate of fMOD = fCLK/8. As in
the case of any ΔΣ modulator, the noise of the ADS1194/6/8 is shaped until fMOD/2, as shown in Figure 20. The
on-chip digital decimation filters explained in the next section can be used to filter out the noise at higher
frequencies. These on-chip decimation filters also provide antialias filtering. This feature of the ΔΣ converters
drastically reduces the complexity of the analog antialiasing filters that are typically needed with nyquist ADCs.

DIGITAL DECIMATION FILTER


The digital filter receives the modulator output and decimates the data stream. By adjusting the amount of
filtering, tradeoffs can be made between resolution and data rate: filter more for higher resolution, filter less for
higher data rates. Higher data rates are typically used in ECG applications for implement software pace detection
and ac lead-off detection.
The digital filter on each channel consists of a third-order sinc filter. The decimation ratio on the sinc filters can
be adjusted by the DR bits in the CONFIG1 register (see the Register Map section for details). This setting is a
global setting that affects all channels and, therefore, in a device all channels operate at the same data rate.

Sinc Filter Stage (sinx/x)


The sinc filter is a variable decimation rate, third-order, low-pass filter. Data are supplied to this section of the
filter from the modulator at the rate of fMOD. The sinc filter attenuates the high-frequency noise of the modulator,
then decimates the data stream into parallel data. The decimation rate affects the overall data rate of the
converter.
Equation 4 shows the scaled Z-domain transfer function of the sinc filter.

The sinc filter has notches (or zeroes) that occur at the output data rate and multiples thereof. At these
frequencies, the filter has infinite attenuation. Figure 21 shows the frequency response of the sinc filter and
Figure 22 shows the roll-off of the sinc filter. With a step change at input, the filter takes 3 × tDR to settle. The
fourth DRDY pulse is settled data. After a rising edge of the START signal, the filter takes tSETTLE time to give the
first data output. The settling time of the filters at various data rates are discussed in the START subsection of
the SPI Interface section. Figure 23 and Figure 24 show the filter transfer function until fMOD/2 and fMOD/16,
respectively, at different data rates. Figure 25 shows the transfer function extended until 4 × fMOD. It can be seen
that the passband of the ADS1194/6/8 repeats itself at every fMOD. The input R-C anti-aliasing filters in the
system should be chosen such that any interference in frequencies around multiples of fMOD are attenuated
sufficiently.

Figure 26. Internal Reference

The external band-limiting capacitors determine the amount of reference noise contribution. For high-end ECG
systems, the capacitor values should be chosen such that the bandwidth is limited to less than 10Hz, so that the
reference noise does not dominate the system noise. When using a 3V analog supply, the internal reference
must be set to 2.4V. In case of a 5V analog supply, the internal reference can be set to 4V by setting the
VREF_4V bit in the CONFIG2 register.
Alternatively, the internal reference buffer can be powered down and VREFP can be applied externally. Figure 27
shows a typical external reference drive circuitry. Power-down is controlled by the PD_REFBUF bit in the
CONFIG3 register. This power-down is also used to share internal references when two devices are cascaded.
By default the device wakes up in external reference mode.

CLOCK
The ADS1194/6/8 provide two different methods for device clocking: internal and external. Internal clocking is
ideally suited for low-power, battery-powered systems. The internal oscillator is trimmed for accuracy at room
temperature. Over the specified temperature range the accuracy varies; see the Electrical Characteristics. Clock
selection is controlled by the CLKSEL pin and the CLK_EN register bit.
The CLKSEL pin selects either the internal or external clock. The CLK_EN bit in the CONFIG1 register enables
and disables the oscillator clock to be output in the CLK pin. A truth table for these two pins is shown in Table 5.
The CLK_EN bit is useful when multiple devices are used in a daisy-chain configuration. It is recommended that
during power-down the external clock be shut down to save power.

DATA FORMAT
The ADS1194/6/8 outputs 16 bits of data per channel in binary twos complement format, MSB first. The LSB has
a weight of VREF/(215 – 1). A positive full-scale input produces an output code of 7FFFh and the negative
full-scale input produces an output code of 8000h. The output clips at these codes for signals exceeding
full-scale. Table 6 summarizes the ideal output codes for different input signals.

SPI INTERFACE

The SPI-compatible serial interface consists of four signals: CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT. The interface reads
conversion data, reads and writes registers, and controls the ADS1194/6/8 operation. The DRDY output is used
as a status signal to indicate when data are ready. DRDY goes low when new data are available.

Chip Select (CS)


Chip select (CS) selects the ADS1194/6/8 for SPI communication. CS must remain low for the entire duration of
the serial communication. After the serial communication is finished, always wait eight or more tCLK cycles before
taking CS high. When CS is taken high, the serial interface is reset, SCLK and DIN are ignored, and DOUT
enters a high-impedance state. DRDY asserts when data conversion is complete, regardless of whether CS is
high or low.

Serial Clock (SCLK)


SCLK is the serial peripheral interface (SPI) serial clock. It is used to shift in commands and shift out data from
the device. The serial clock (SCLK) features a Schmitt-triggered input and clocks data on the DIN and DOUT
pins into and out of the ADS1194/6/8. Even though the input has hysteresis, it is recommended to keep SCLK as
clean as possible to prevent glitches from accidentally shifting the data. The absolute maximum limit for SCLK is
specified in the Serial Interface Timing table. When shifting in commands with SCLK, make sure that the entire
set of SCLKs is issued to the device. Failure to do so results in the device being placed into an unknown state,
requiring CS to be taken high to recover.
For a single device, the minimum speed needed for the SCLK depends on the number of channels, number of
bits of resolution, and output data rate. (For multiple cascaded devices, see the Standard Mode subsection of the
Multiple Device Configuration section.)
tSCLK < (tDR – 4tCLK)/(NBITS × NCHANNELS + 24)
For example, if the ADS1198 is used in a 500SPS mode (8 channels, 16-bit resolution), the minimum SCLK
speed is 80kHz.
Data retrieval can be done either by putting the device in RDATAC mode or by issuing a RDATA command for
data on demand. The above SCLK rate limitation applies to RDATAC. For the RDATA command, the limitation
applies if data must be read in between two consecutive DRDY signals. The above calculation assumes that
there are no other commands issued in between data captures.

Data Input (DIN)


The data input pin (DIN) is used along with SCLK to send data to the ADS1194/6/8 (opcode commands and
register data). The device latches data on DIN on the falling edge of SCLK.

Data Output (DOUT)


The data output pin (DOUT) is used with SCLK to read conversion and register data from the ADS1194/6/8. Data
on DOUT are shifted out on the rising edge of SCLK. DOUT goes to a high-impedance state when CS is high. In
read data continuous mode (see the SPI Command Definitions section for more details), the DOUT output line
also indicates when new data are available. This feature can be used to minimize the number of connections
between the device and the system controller. The START signal must be high or the START command must be
issued before retrieving data from the device.
Figure 28 shows the data output protocol for ADS1198.

Data Retrieval
Data retrieval can be accomplished in one of two methods. The read data continuous command can be used to
set the device in a mode to read the data continuously without sending opcodes. The read data command can be
used to read just one data output from the device (see the SPI Command Definitions section for more details).
The conversion data are read by shifting the data out on DOUT. The MSB of the data on DOUT is clocked out on
the first SCLK rising edge. DRDY returns to high on the first SCLK falling edge. DIN should remain low for the
entire read operation.
The number of bits in the data output depends on the number of channels and the number of bits per channel.
For the ADS1198, the number of data outputs is (24 status bits + 16 bits × 8 channels = 152 bits) for all data
rates. The format of the 24 status bits is: (1100 + LOFF_STATP + LOFF_STATN + bits[4:7] of the GPIO
register). The data format for each channel data are twos complement and MSB first. When channels are
powered down using the user register setting, the corresponding channel output is set to '0'. However, the
sequence of channel outputs remains the same. For the ADS1194 and the ADS1196, the last four and two
channel outputs shown in Figure 28 are zeros. Status and GPIO register bits are loaded into the 24-bit status
word 2tCLKs before DRDY goes low.
The ADS1194/6/8 also provide a multiple readback feature. The data can be read out multiple times by simply
giving more SCLKs, in which case the MSB data byte repeats after reading the last byte. The DAISY_EN bit in
CONFIG1 register must be set to '1' for multiple readbacks.

Data Ready (DRDY)


DRDY is an output. When it transitions low, new conversion data are ready. The CS signal has no effect on the
data ready signal. The behavior of DRDY is determined by whetehr the device is in RDATAC mode or the
RDATA command is being used to read data on demand. (See the RDATAC: Read Data Continuous and
RDATA: Read Data subsections of the SPI Command Definitions section for further detials). Regardless of the
status of the CS signal, a rising edge on SCLK pulls DRDY high. Hence, when using multiple devices in the SPI
bus, it is recommended that SCLK be gated with CS. When reading data with the RDATA command, the read
operation can overlap the occurrence of the next DRDY without data corruption. The START pin or the START
command is used to place the device either in normal data capture mode or pulse data capture mode. Figure 29
shows the relationship between DRDY, DOUT, and SCLK during data retrieval (in case of an ADS1198). DOUT
is latched at the rising edge of SCLK. DRDY is pulled high at the falling edge of SCLK. Note that DRDY goes
high on the first falling edge SCLK regardless of whether data are being retrieved from the device or a command
is being sent through the DIN pin.

GPIO
The ADS1194/6/8 have a total of four general-purpose digital I/O (GPIO) pins available in the normal mode of
operation. The digital I/O pins are individually configurable as either inputs or as outputs through the GPIOC bits
register. The GPIOD bits in the GPIO register control the level of the pins. When reading the GPIOD bits, the
data returned are the level of the pins, whether they are programmed as inputs or outputs. When the GPIO pin is
configured as an input, a write to the corresponding GPIOD bit has no effect. When configured as an output, a
write to the GPIOD bit sets the output value.
If configured as inputs, these pins must be driven (do not float). The GPIO pins are set as inputs after power-on
or after a reset. Figure 30 shows the GPIO port structure.
GPIO1 can be used as the PACEIN signal; GPIO2 is multiplexed with RESP_BLK signal; GPIO3 is multiplexed
with the RESP signal; and GPIO4 is multiplexed with the RESP_PH signal.

Power-Down (PWDN)
When PWDN is pulled low, all on-chip circuitry is powered down. To exit power-down mode, take the PWDN pin
high. Upon exiting from power-down mode, the internal oscillator and the reference require a wake-up time. It is
recommended that during power-down the external clock is shut down to save power.

Reset (RESET)
There are two methods to reset the ADS1194/6/8: pull the RESET pin low, or send the RESET opcode
command. When using the RESET pin, take it low to force a reset. Make sure to follow the minimum pulse width
timing specifications before taking the RESET pin back high. The RESET command takes effect on the eighth
SCLK falling edge of the opcode command. On reset it takes 18 CLK cycles to complete initialization of the
configuration registers to the default states and start the conversion cycle. Note that an internal RESET is
automatically issued to the digital filter whenever registers CONFIG1 and RESP are set to a new value with a
WREG command.

START
The START pin must be set high for at least two tCLKs, or the START command sent, to begin conversions.
When START is low, or if the START command has not been sent, the device does not issue a DRDY signal
(conversions are halted).
When using the START opcode to control conversion, hold the START pin low. The ADS1194/6/8 feature two
modes to control conversion: continuous mode and single-shot mode. The mode is selected by SINGLE_SHOT
(bit 3 of the CONFIG4 register). In multiple device configurations the START pin is used to synchronize devices
(see the Multiple Device Configuration subsection of the SPI Interface section for more details).

Settling Time
The settling time (tSETTLE) is the time it takes for the converter to output fully settled data when START signal is
pulled high. Once START is pulled high, DRDY is also pulled high. The next falling edge of DRDY indicates that
data are ready. Figure 31 shows the timing diagram and Table 7 shows the settling time for different data rates.
The settling time depends on fCLK and the decimation ratio (controlled by the DR[2:0] bits in the CONFIG1
register). Table 6 describes the settling time as a function of tCLK. Note that when START is held high and there
is a step change in the input signal, it takes 3 × tDR for the filter to settle to the new value. Settled data are
available on the fourth DRDY pulse. This time must be considered when trying to measure narrow pace pulses
for pacer detection.

Continuous Mode
Conversions begin when the START pin is taken high for at least two tCLKs or when the START opcode
command is sent. As seen in Figure 32, the DRDY output goes high when conversions are started and goes low
when data are ready. Conversions continue indefinitely until the START pin is taken low or the STOP opcode
command is transmitted. When the START pin is pulled low or the stop command is issued, the conversion in
progress is allowed to complete. Figure 33 and Table 8 show the required timing of DRDY to the START pin and
the START/STOP opcode commands when controlling conversions in this mode. To keep the converter running
continuously, the START pin can be permanently tied high. Note that when switching from pulse mode to
continuous mode, the START signal is pulsed or a STOP command must be issued followed by a START
command.
This conversion mode is ideal for applications that require a fixed continuous stream of conversion results.

Single-Shot Mode
The single-shot mode is enabled by setting the SINGLE_SHOT bit in CONFIG4 register to '1'. In single-shot
mode, the ADS1194/6/8 perform a single conversion when the START pin is taken high for at least two tCLKs, or
when the START opcode command is sent. As seen in Figure 34, when a conversion is complete, DRDY goes
low and further conversions are stopped. Regardless of whether the conversion data are read or not, DRDY
remains low. To begin a new conversion, take the START pin low and then back high, or transmit the START
opcode again. Note that when switching from continuous mode to pulse mode, make sure the START signal is
pulsed or issue a STOP command followed by a START command.

This conversion mode is provided for applications that require a non-standard or non-continuous data rate.
Issuing a START command or toggling the START pin high resets the digital filter, effectively dropping the data
rate by a factor of four. This mode leaves the system more susceptible to aliasing effects, requiring more
complex analog or digital filtering. Loading on the host processor increases because it must toggle the START
pin or send a START command to initiate a new conversion cycle.

MULTIPLE DEVICE CONFIGURATION


The ADS1194/6/8 are designed to provide configuration flexibility when multiple devices are used in a system.
The SPI interface typically needs four signals: DIN, DOUT, SCLK, and CS. With one additional chip select signal
per device, multiple devices can be connected together. The number of signals needed to interface n devices is
3 + n.
The right-leg drive amplifiers can be daisy-chained as explained in the RLD Configuration with Multiple Devices
subsection of the ECG-Specific Functions section. To use the internal oscillator in a daisy-chain configuration,
one of the devices must be set as the master for the clock source with the internal oscillator enabled (CLKSEL
pin = 1) and the internal oscillator clock brought out of the device by setting the CLK_EN register bit. This master
device clock is used as the external clock source for the other devices.

When using multiple devices, the devices can be synchronized with the START signal. The delay from START to
the DRDY signal is fixed for a fixed data rate (see the START subsection of the SPI Interface section for more
details on the settling times). Figure 35 shows the behavior of two devices when synchronized with the START
signal.
There are two ways to connect multiple devices with a optimal number of interface pins: cascade mode and
daisy-chain mode.

Standard Mode
Figure 36a shows a configuration with two devices cascaded together. One of the devices is an ADS1198
(eight-channel) and the other is an ADS1194 (four-channel). Together, they create a system with 12 channels.
DOUT, SCLK, and DIN are shared. Each device has its own chip select. When a device is not selected by the
corresponding CS being driven to logic 1, the DOUT of this device is high-impedance. This structure allows the
other device to take control of the DOUT bus. This configuration method is suitable for the majority of
applications.

DAISY-CHAIN MODE
Daisy-chain mode is enabled by setting the DAISY_EN bit in the CONFIG1 register. Figure 36b shows the
daisy-chain configuration. In this mode SCLK, DIN, and CS are shared across multiple devices. The DOUT of
one device is hooked up to the DAISY_IN of the other device, thereby creating a chain. One extra SCLK must be
issued in between each data set. Also, when using daisy-chain mode the multiple readback feature is not
available. Short the DAISY_IN pin to digital ground if not used. Figure 2 (Daisy-Chain Interface Timing) describes
the required timing for the ADS1198 shown in Figure 36. Data from the ADS1198 appear first on DOUT, followed
by a don’t care bit, and finally by the status and data words from the ADS1194.

Figure 36. Multiple Device Configurations

In a case where all devices in the chain operate in the same register setting, DIN can be shared as well and
thereby reduce the SPI communication signals to four, regardless of the number of devices. However, because
the individual devices cannot be programmed, the RLD driver cannot be shared among the multiple devices.
Furthermore, an external clock must be used.

Note that from Figure 2, the SCLK rising edge shifts data out of the ADS1194/6/8 on DOUT. The SCLK rising
edge is also used to latch data into the device DAISY_IN pin down the chain. This architecture allows for a faster
SCLK rate speed, but it also makes the interface sensitive to board level signal delays. The more devices in the
chain, the more challenging it could become to adhere to setup and hold times. A star pattern connection of
SCLK to all devices, minimizing length of DOUT, and other PCB layout techniques help. Placing delay circuits
such as buffers between DOUT and DAISY_IN are ways to mitigate this challenge. One other option is to insert a
D flip-flop between DOUT and DAISY_IN clocked on an inverted SCLK. Note also that daisy-chain mode
requires some software overhead to recombine data bits spread across byte boundaries. Figure 37 shows a
timing diagram for the daisy-chain mode.

Figure 37. Daisy-Chain Timing

The maximum number of devices that can be daisy-chained depends on the data rate at which the device is
being operated. The maximum number of devices can be approximately calculated with Equation 6.
fSCLK
NDEVICES =
fDR (NBITS)(NCHANNELS) + 24

where:
NBITS = device resolution (depends on data rate), and
NCHANNELS = number of channels in the device (4, 6, or 8). (6)
For example, when the ADS1198 (eight-channel, 16-bit version) is operated at a 2kSPS data rate with a 4MHz
fSCLK, 15 devices can be daisy-chained.

SPI COMMAND DEFINITIONS


The ADS1194/6/8 provide flexible configuration control. The opcode commands, summarized in Table 9, control
and configure the operation of the ADS1194/6/8. The opcode commands are stand-alone, except for the register
read and register write operations that require a second command byte plus data. CS can be taken high or held
low between opcode commands but must stay low for the entire command operation (especially for multi-byte
commands). System opcode commands and the RDATA command are decoded by the ADS1194/6/8 on the
seventh falling edge of SCLK. The register read/write opcodes are decoded on the eighth SCLK falling edge. Be
sure to follow SPI timing requirements when pulling CS high after issuing a command.

(1) When in RDATAC mode, the RREG command is ignored.


(2) n nnnn = number of registers to be read/written – 1. For example, to read/write three registers, set nnnn = 0 (0010). rrrr = starting
register address for read/write opcodes.

WAKEUP: Exit STANDBY Mode


This opcode exits the low-power standby mode; see the STANDBY: Enter STANDBY Mode subsection of the
SPI Command Definitions section. Time is required when exiting standby mode (see the Electrical
Characteristics for details). There are no restrictions on the SCLK rate for this command and it can be
issued any time. Any following command must be sent after 4 CLK cycles.

STANDBY: Enter STANDBY Mode


This opcode command enters the low-power standby mode. All parts of the circuit are shut down except for the
reference section. The standby mode power consumption is specified in the Electrical Characteristics. There are
no restrictions on the SCLK rate for this command and it can be issued any time.

RESET: Reset Registers to Default Values


This command resets the digital filter cycle and returns all register settings to the default values. See the Reset
(RESET) subsection of the SPI Interface section for more details. There are no restrictions on the SCLK rate
for this command and it can be issued any time. It takes 18 CLK cycles to execute the RESET command.
Avoid sending any commands during this time.

START: Start Conversions


This opcode starts data conversions. Tie the START pin low to control conversions by command. If conversions
are in progress this command has no effect. The STOP opcode command is used to stop conversions. If the
START command is immediately followed by a STOP command then have a gap of 4 CLK cycles between them.
When the START opcode is sent to the device, keep the START pin low until the STOP command is issued.
(See the START subsection of the SPI Interface section for more details.) There are no restrictions on the
SCLK rate for this command and it can be issued any time.

STOP: Stop Conversions


This opcode stops conversions. Tie the START pin low to control conversions by command. When the STOP
command is sent, the conversion in progress completes and further conversions are stopped. If conversions are
already stopped, this command has no effect. There are no restrictions on the SCLK rate for this command and it
can be issued any time.

RDATAC: Read Data Continuous


This opcode enables the output of conversion data on each DRDY without the need to issue subsequent read
data opcodes. This mode places the conversion data in the output register and may be shifted out directly. The
read data continuous mode is the default mode of the device and the device defaults in this mode on power-up.
RDATAC mode is cancelled by the Stop Read Data Continuous command. If the device is in RDATAC mode, a
SDATAC command must be issued before any other commands can be sent to the device. There is no
restriction on the SCLK rate for this command. However, the subsequent data retrieval SCLKs or the SDATAC
opcode command should wait at least 4 CLK cycles. The timing for RDATAC is shown in Figure 38. As Figure 38
shows, there is a keep out zone of 4 CLK cycles around the DRDY pulse where this command cannot be issued
in. If no data are retrieved from the device, DOUT and DRDY behave similarly in this mode. To retrieve data from
the device after RDATAC command is issued, make sure either the START pin is high or the START command
is issued. Figure 38 shows the recommended way to use the RDATAC command. RDATAC is ideally suited for
applications such as data loggers or recorders where registers are set once and do not need to be re-configured.

RDATA: Read Data


Issue this command after DRDY goes low to read the conversion result (in Stop Read Data Continuous mode).
There is no restriction on the SCLK rate for this command, and there is no wait time needed for the subsequent
commands or data retrieval SCLKs. To retrieve data from the device after RDATA command is issued, make
sure either the START pin is high or the START command is issued. When reading data with the RDATA
command, the read operation can overlap the occurrence of the next DRDY without data corruption. Figure 39
shows the recommended ways to use the RDATA command. RDATA is best suited for ECG and EEG type
systems, where register setting must be read or changed often between conversion cycles.

Sending Multi-Byte Commands


The ADS1194/6/8 serial interface decodes commands in bytes and requires four CLK cycles to decode and
execute. Therefore, when sending multi-byte commands, a period of four CLKs must separate the end of one
byte (or opcode) and the next.
Assume CLK is 2.048MHz, then tSDECODE (4 tCLK) is 1.96µs. When SCLK is 16MHz, one byte can be transferred
in 500ns. This byte transfer time does not meet the tSDECODE specification; therefore, a delay must be inserted so
the end of the second byte arrives 1.46µs later. If SCLK is 4MHz, one byte is transferred in 2µs. Because this
transfer time exceeds the tSDECODE specification, the processor can send subsequent bytes without delay. In this
later scenario, the serial port can be programmed to cease single-byte transfer per cycle to multiple bytes.

RREG: Read From Register


This opcode reads register data. The Register Read command is a two-byte opcode followed by the output of the
register data. The first byte contains the command opcode and the register address. The second byte of the
opcode specifies the number of registers to read – 1.
First opcode byte: 0010 rrrr, where rrrr is the starting register address.
Second opcode byte: 000n nnnn, where n nnnn is the number of registers to read – 1.
The 17th SCLK rising edge of the operation clocks out the MSB of the first register, as shown in Figure 40. When
the device is in read data continuous mode it is necessary to issue a SDATAC command before RREG
command can be issued. RREG command can be issued any time. However, because this command is a
multi-byte command, there are restrictions on the SCLK rate depending on the way the SCLKs are issued. See
the Serial Clock (SCLK) subsection of the SPI Interface section for more details. Note that CS must be low for
the entire command.

WREG: Write to Register


This opcode writes register data. The Register Write command is a two-byte opcode followed by the input of the
register data. The first byte contains the command opcode and the register address.
The second byte of the opcode specifies the number of registers to write – 1.
First opcode byte: 0100 rrrr, where rrrr is the starting register address.

After the opcode bytes, the register data follows (in MSB-first format), as shown in Figure 41. WREG command
can be issued any time. However, because this command is a multi-byte command, there are restrictions on the
SCLK rate depending on the way the SCLKs are issued. See the Serial Clock (SCLK) subsection of the SPI

ECG-SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS

INPUT MULTIPLEXER (REROUTING THE RIGHT LEG DRIVE SIGNAL)


The input multiplexer has ECG-specific functions for the right-leg drive signal. The RLD signal is available at the
RLDOUT pin once the appropriate channels are selected for the RLD derivation, feedback elements are installed
external to the chip, and the loop is closed. This signal can be fed after filtering or fed directly into the RLDIN pin
as shown in Figure 42. This RLDIN signal can be multiplexed into any one of the input electrodes by setting the
MUX bits of the appropriate channel set registers to 110 for P-side or 111 for N-side. Figure 42 shows the RLD
signal generated from channels 1, 2, and 3 and routed to the N-side of channel 8. This feature can be used to
dynamically change the electrode that is used as the reference signal to drive the patient body. Note that the
corresponding channel cannot be used and can be powered down.

WILSON CENTER TERMINAL (WCT) AND CHEST LEADS


In the standard 12-lead ECG, WCT voltage is defined as the average of Right Arm (RA), Left Arm (LA), and Left
Leg (LL) electrodes. This voltage is used as the reference voltage for the measurement of the chest leads. The
ADS1194/6/8 has three integrated low-noise amplifiers that generate the WCT voltage. Figure 44 shows the
block diagram of the implementation.

Figure 44. WCT Voltage

The devices provide flexibility to choose any one of the eight signals (IN1P to IN4N) to be routed to each of the
amplifiers to generate the average. Having this flexibility allows the RA, LA, and LL electrodes to be connected to
any input of the first four channels depending on the lead configuration.
Each of the three amplifiers in the WCT circuitry can be powered down individually with register settings. By
powering up two amplifiers, the average of any two electrodes can be generated at the WCT pin. Powering up
one amplifier provides the buffered electrode voltage at the WCT pin. Note that the WCT amplifiers have limited
drive strength and thus should be buffered if used to drive a low-impedance load.
See Table 3 for performance when using any 1, 2, or 3 of the WCT buffers.
As can be seen in Table 3, the overall noise reduces when more than one WCT amplifier is powered up. This
noise reduction is due to the fact that noise is averaged by the passive summing network at the output of the
amplifiers. Powering down individual buffers gives negligible power savings because a significant portion of the
circuitry is shared between the three amplifiers. The bandwidth of the WCT node is limited by the RC network.
The internal summing network consists of three 30kΩ resistors and a 80pF capacitor. It is recommended that an
external 100pF capacitor be added for optimal performance. The effective bandwidth depends on the number of
amplifiers that are powered up, as shown in Table 3.
The WCT node should be only be used to drive very high input impedances (typically greater than 500MΩ).
Typical application would be to connect this WCT signal to the negative inputs of a ADS1194/6/8 to be used as a
reference signal for the chest leads.

SBAS471C – APRIL 2010 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2011 [Link]

As mentioned previously in this section, all three WCT amplifiers can be connected to one of the eight analog
input pins. The inputs of the amplifiers are chopped and the chopping frequency is at 8kHz. The chop frequency
shows itself at the output of the WCT amplifiers as a small square-wave riding on dc. The amplitude of the
square-wave is the offset of the amplifier and is typically 5mVPP. This artifact as a result of the chopping function
is out-of-band and thus does not interfere with ECG-related measurements. Note that if the output of a channel
connected to the WCT (for example, VLEAD channels) is connected to one of the pace amplifiers for external pace
detection, the artifact of chopping appears at the Pace amplifier output.

Augmented Leads
In the typical implementation of the 12-lead ECG with eight channels, the augmented leads are calculated
digitally. In certain applications, it may be required that all leads be derived in analog rather than digital. The
ADS1198 provides the option to generate the augmented leads by routing appropriate averages to channels 5 to
7. The same three amplifiers that are used to generate the WCT signal are used to generate the Goldberger
terminal signals as well. Figure 45 shows an example of generating the augmented leads in analog domain. Note
that in this implementation it takes more than eight channels to generate the standard 12 leads. Also, this feature
is not available in the ADS1196 and ADS1194.

Right Leg Drive with the WCT Point


In certain applications, the out-of-phase version of the WCT is used as the right leg drive reference. The
ADS1198 provides the option to have a buffered version of the WCT terminal at the RLD_OUT pin. This signal
can be inverted in phase using an external amplifier and used as the right leg drive. Refer to the Right Leg Drive

LEAD-OFF DETECTION
Patient electrode impedances are known to decay over time. It is necessary to continuously monitor these
electrode connections to verify a suitable connection is present. The ADS1194/6/8 lead-off detection functional
block provides significant flexibility to the user to choose from various lead-off detection strategies. Though called
lead-off detection, this is in fact an electrode-off detection.
The basic principle is to inject an excitation signal and measure the response to find out if the electrode is off. As
shown in the lead-off detection functional block diagram in Figure 46, this circuit provides two different methods
of determining the state of the patient electrode. The methods differ in the frequency content of the excitation
signal. Lead-off can be selectively done on a per channel basis using the LOFF_SENSP and LOFF_SENSN
registers. Also, the internal excitation circuitry can be disabled and just the sensing circuitry can be enabled.

DC Lead-Off
In this method, the lead-off excitation is with a dc signal. The dc excitation signal can be chosen from either a
pull-up/pull-down resistor or a current source/sink, shown in Figure 47. The selection is done by setting the
VLEAD_OFF_EN bit in the LOFF register. One side of the channel is pulled to supply and the other side is pulled
to ground. The pull-up resistor and pull-down resistor can be swapped (as shown in Figure 48) by setting the bits
in the LOFF_FLIP register. In case of current source/sink, the magnitude of the current can be set by using the
ILEAD_OFF[1:0] bits in the LOFF register. The current source/sink gives larger input impedance compared to the
10MΩ pull-up/pull-down resistor.

Sensing of the response can be done either by looking at the digital output code from the device or by monitoring
the input voltages with an on-chip comparator. If either of the electrodes is off, the pull-up resistors and/or the
pull-down resistors saturate the channel. By looking at the output code it can be determined that either the P-side
or the N-side is off. To pinpoint which one is off, the comparators must be used. The input voltage is also
monitored using a comparator and a 4-bit DAC whose levels are set by the COMP_TH[2:0] bits in the LOFF
register. The output of the comparators are stored in the LOFF_STATP and LOFF_STATN registers. These two
registers are available as a part of the output data stream. (See the Data Output (DOUT) subsection of the SPI
Interface section.) If dc lead-off is not used, the lead-off comparators can be powered down by setting the
PD_LOFF_COMP bit in the CONFIG4 register.
An example procedure to turn on dc lead-off is given in the Lead-Off subsection of the Quick-Start Guide section.

AC Lead-Off
In this method, an out-of-band ac signal is used for excitation. The ac signal is generated by alternatively
providing pull-up resistors and pull-down resistors at the input with a fixed frequency. The ac signal is passed
through an anti-aliasing filter to avoid aliasing. The frequency can be chosen by the FLEAD_OFF[1:0] bits in the
LOFF register. The excitation frequency is a function of the output data rate and can be chosen to be either fDR/2
or fDR/4. This out-of-band excitation signal is passed through the channel and measured at the output.
Sensing of the ac signal is done by passing the signal through the channel to digitize it and measure at the
output. The ac excitation signals are introduced at a frequency that is above the band of interest, generating an
out-of-band differential signal that can be filtered out separately and processed. By measuring the magnitude of
the excitation signal at the output spectrum, the lead-off status can be calculated. Therefore, the ac lead-off
detection can be accomplished simultaneously with the ECG signal acquisition.

RLD LEAD-OFF
The ADS1194/6/8 provide two modes for determining whether the RLD is correctly connected:
• RLD lead-off detection during normal operation
• RLD lead-off detection during power-up
The following sections provide details of the two modes of operation.
RLD Lead-Off Detection During Normal Operation
During normal operation, the ADS1194/6/8 RLD lead-off at power-up function cannot be used because it is
necessary to power off the RLD amplifier.
RLD Lead Off Detection At Power-Up
This feature is included in the ADS1194/6/8 for use in determining whether the right leg electrode is suitably
connected. At power-up, the ADS1194/6/8 provide two measurement procedures to determine the RLD electrode
connection status using either a current or a voltage pull-down resistor, as shown in Figure 49. The reference
level of the comparator is set to determine the acceptable RLD impedance threshold.

RIGHT LEG DRIVE (RLD DC BIAS CIRCUIT)


The right leg drive (RLD) circuitry is used as a means to counter the common-mode interference in a ECG
system as a result of power lines and other sources, including fluorescent lights. The RLD circuit senses the
common-mode of a selected set of electrodes and creates a negative feedback loop by driving the body with an
inverted common-mode signal. The negative feedback loop restricts the common-mode movement to a narrow
range, depending on the loop gain. Stabilizing the entire loop is specific to the individual user system based on
the various poles in the loop. The ADS1194/6/8 integrates the muxes to select the channel and an operational
amplifier. All the amplifier terminals are available at the pins, allowing the user to choose the components for the
feedback loop. The circuit in Figure 50 shows the overall functional connectivity for the RLD bias circuit.
The reference voltage for the right leg drive can be chosen to be internally generated (AVDD + AVSS)/2 or it can
be provided externally with a resistive divider. The selection of an internal versus external reference voltage for
the RLD loop is defined by writing the appropriate value to the RLDREF_INT bit in the COFIG3 register.
If the RLD function is not used, the amplifier can be powered down using the PD_RLD bit (see the CONFIG3:
Configuration Register 3 subsection of the Register Map section for details). This bit is also used in daisy-chain
mode to power-down all but one of the RLD amplifiers.
The functionality of the RLDIN pin is explained in the Input Multiplexer section. An example procedure to use the
RLD amplifier is shown in the Right Leg Drive subsection of the Quick-Start Guide section.

WCT as RLD
In certain applications, the right leg drive is derived as the average of RA, LA, and LL. This level is the same as
the WCT voltage. The WCT amplifier has limited drive strength and thus should be used only to drive very high
impedances directly. As shown in Figure 51, the ADS1194/6/8 provide an option to internally buffer the WCT
signal by setting the WCT_TO_RLD bit in the CONFIG4 register. The RLD_OUT and RLD_INV pins should be
shorted external to the device. Note that before the RLD_OUT signal is connected to the RLD electrode, an
external amplifier should be used to invert the phase of the signal for negative feedback.

PACE DETECT
The ADS1194/6/8 provide flexibility for pace detection with external hardware by bringing out the output of the
PGA at two pins: TESTP_PACE_OUT1 and TESTN_PACE_OUT2.

External Hardware Approach


The ADS1194/6/8 provide the option of bringing out the output of the PGA; see Figure 53. External hardware
circuitry can be used to detect the presence of the pulse. The output of the pace detection logic can then be fed
into the device through one of the GPIO pins. The GPIO data are transmitted through the SPI port. Two of the
eight channels can be selected using register bits in the PACE register, one from the odd-numbered channels
and the other from the even-numbered channels. During the differential to single-ended conversion, there is an
attenuation of 0.4. Therefore, the total gain in the pace path is equal to (0.4 × PGA_GAIN). The pace out signals
are multiplexed with the TESTP and TESTN signals through the TESTP_PACE_OUT1 and
TESTN_PACE_OUT2 pins respectively. The channel selection is done by setting bits[4:1] of the PACE register.
If the pace circuitry is not used, the pace amplifiers can be turned off using the PD_PACE bit in the PACE
register.
Note that if the output of a channel connected to the WCT amplifier (for example, the VLEAD channels) is
connected to one of the pace amplifiers for external pace detection, the artifact of chopping appears at the pace
amplifier output. Refer to the Wilson Center Terminal (WCT) and Chest Leads section for more detials.

QUICK-START GUIDE

PCB LAYOUT

Power Supplies and Grounding


The ADS1194/6/8 have three supplies: AVDD, AVDD1, and DVDD. Both AVDD and AVDD1 should be as quiet
as possible. AVDD1 provides the supply to the charge pump block and has transients at fCLK. Therefore, it is
recommended that AVDD1 and AVSS1 be star-connected to AVDD and AVSS. It is important to eliminate noise
from AVDD and AVDD1 that is non-synchronous with the ADS1194/6/8 operation. Each supply of the
ADS1194/6/8 should be bypassed with 1μF and a 0.1μF solid ceramic capacitors. It is recommended that
placement of the digital circuits (DSP, microcontrollers, FPGAs, etc.) in the system is done such that the return
currents on those devices do not cross the analog return path of the ADS1194/6/8. The ADS1194/6/8 can be
powered from unipolar or bipolar supplies.
The capacitors used for decoupling can be of the surface-mount, low-cost, low-profile, multi-layer ceramic type.
In most cases, the VCAP1 capacitor can also be a multi-layer ceramic, but in systems where the board is
subjected to high or low frequency vibration, it is recommend to install a non-ferroelectric capacitor such as a
tantalum or class 1 capacitor (for example, C0G or NPO). EIA class 2 and class 3 dielectrics (such as X7R, X5R,
X8R, etc.) are ferroelectric. The piezoelectric property of these capacitors can appear as electrical noise coming
from the capacitor. When using internal reference, noise on the VCAP1 node results in performance degradation.

Connecting the Device to Unipolar (+3V/+1.8V) Supplies


Figure 54 illustrates the ADS1194/6/8 connected to a unipolar supply. In this example, analog supply (AVDD) is

Shielding Analog Signal Paths


As with any precision circuit, careful printed circuit board (PCB) layout ensures the best performance. It is
essential to make short, direct interconnections and avoid stray wiring capacitance—particularly at the analog
input pins and AVSS. These analog input pins are high-impedance and extremely sensitive to extraneous noise.
The AVSS pin should be treated as a sensitive analog signal and connected directly to the supply ground with
proper shielding. Leakage currents between the PCB traces can exceed the input bias current of the
ADS1194/6/8 if shielding is not implemented. Digital signals should be kept as far as possible from the analog
input signals on the PCB.

POWER-UP SEQUENCING
Before device power-up, all digital and analog inputs must be low. At the time of power-up, all of these signals
should remain low until the power supplies have stabilized, as shown in Figure 57. At this time, begin supplying
the master clock signal to the CLK pin. Wait for time tPOR, then transmit a RESET pulse. After releasing RESET,
the configuration register must be programmed, see the CONFIG1: Configuration Register 1 subsection of the
Register Map section for details. The power-up sequence timing is shown in Table 11.

SETTING THE DEVICE FOR BASIC DATA CAPTURE


The following section outlines the procedure to configure the device in a basic state and capture data. This
procedure is intended to put the device in a data sheet condition to check if the device is working properly in the
user's system. It is recommended that this procedure be followed initially to get familiar with the device settings.
Once this procedure has been verified, the device can be configured as needed. For details on the timings for
commands refer to the appropriate sections in the data sheet. Also, some sample programming codes are added
for the ECG-specific functions. Figure 58 illustrates a flowchart outlining the initial flow at power-up.

Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
