Texas Instruments’ 24-bit, 32 kSPS ADC is optimized for cost-sensitive applications that require simultaneous sampling
Texas Instruments’ ADS131M08 8-channel, simultaneously-sampling, 24-bit ΔΣ ADC offers wide dynamic range, low power, and energy-measurement-specific features. These features make the device ideal for energy metering, power metrology, and circuit breaker applications. The ADC inputs can be directly interfaced with a resistor-divider network or a power transformer to measure voltage or to a current transformer or a Rogowski coil to measure current.
The individual ADC channels can be independently configured depending on the sensor input. A low-noise programmable gain amplifier (PGA) provides gains ranging from 1 to 128 to amplify low-level signals. This device integrates channel-to-channel phase calibration and offset and gain calibration registers to help remove signal-chain errors.

A low-drift 1.2 V reference is integrated into the device reducing printed circuit board (PCB) area. Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) options can be individually enabled on the data input, data output, and register map to ensure communication integrity. The complete analog front-end (AFE) is offered in a 32-pin TQFP or leadless 32-pin WQFN package and is specified over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
