Texas Instruments: ADS1298ECGFE-PDK/ADS1198ECGFE-PDK Front End Performance Demonstration Kit

Kit Overview

The Texas Instruments ADS1298ECGFEADS1298ECGFE/ADS1198ECGFEADS1198ECGFE is a reference design for the ADS1298ADS1298/ADS1198ADS1198 a simultaneous sampling, 24-bit (ADS1298ECGFE)/16-Bit (ADS1198ECGFE), delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a built-in programmable gain amplifier (PGA), internal reference, and an onboard oscillator.

The ADS1198ADS1198/ADS1298ADS1298 incorporates all of the features that are commonly required in medical electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) applications. The ADS1298ECGFEADS1298ECGFE/ADS1198ECGFEADS1198ECGFE can be used with a variety of patient simulators and allows the user to take advantage of the flexible input multiplexer which can be independently connected to the internally-generated signals for test, temperature, and lead-off detection.

The ADS1x98ECG-FE is intended for evaluating the ADS1198ADS1198 and ADS1298ADS1298 for ECG and EEG applications. The digital SPI control interface is provided by the MMB0 Modular EVM motherboard that connects to the ADS1x98ECG FE evaluation board. The ADS1x98ECG-FE  is NOT a reference design for ECG and EEG applications; rather, its purpose is to expedite evaluation and system development. The output of the ADS1298ADS1298 yields a raw, unfiltered ECG signal.

The MMB0 motherboard allows the ADS1x98 to be connected to the computer via an available USB port.

The ADS1298ADS1298/ADS1198ADS1198 is a family of multichannel, simultaneous sampling, 24-bit (ADS1298)/16-bit (ADS1198), delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with built-in programmable gain amplifiers (PGAs), internal reference, and an onboard oscillator.
