THEORY OF OPERATION
This section contains details of the ADS1294/6/8 internal functional elements. The analog blocks are discussed
first followed by the digital interface. Blocks implementing ECG-specific functions are covered in 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 EMI filter on all of the channels. The –3dB filter bandwidth is approximately
3MHz.
INPUT MULTIPLEXER
The ADS1294/6/8 input multiplexers are very flexible and provide many configurable signal switching options.
Figure 10 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
3 subsection of the
Register Map section for details). More details of the ECG-specific features of the multiplexer
