The target application for this design includes digital multimeters (DMMs) that require ultra-high precision to measure dc signals. This design achieves effective dc accuracy using the ADS127L21B, a high-performance, 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with effective linearity. An ultra-low drift buried Zener reference, REF81, calibrates the signal chain to eliminate gain and offset errors.
Features
- Ultra-low drift, low-noise reference for calibrating the entire signal chain, enabling high dc accuracy post-calibration
- Three input ranges: ±100mV, ±1V, ±10V
- Linearity: 1.1ppm maximum (±10V range)
- Noise: 335nVRMS at 60SPS (±10V range)
