ADS1248IPWRTDSetupStep-by-StepMeasurementGuide
🔥 Why Industrial Temperature Sensors Demand ADS1248IPW ?
In 2025, achieving ±0.1°C precision in harsh environments remains a core challenge for automation systems. The ADS1248IPW—a 24-bit delta-sigma ADC with 7-channel input and built-in 10ppm/°C voltage reference—solves this by integrating PGA, current sources, and sensor diagnostics. Yet, 72% of engineers struggle with RTD wire compensation and EMI filtering. This guide delivers actionable solutions for high-accuracy sensing, backed by YY-IC semiconductor one-stop support for industrial-grade components.
1️⃣ Beyond the Datasheet: Critical Specs Decoded
Noise Performance: 150nV/√Hz at PGA=128, enabling microvolt-level signal capture.
Self-Calibration: Reduces offset drift to 5nV/°C – critical for unmanned factory monitoring.
Current Source Matching: Dual 1.5mA DACs with 0.5% deviation, eliminating RTD lead resistance errors.
Engineer’s Insight: While rated for 105°C operation, adding 10mm PCB keep-out zones around VREF pins reduces thermal drift by 40% in motor control applications.
2️⃣ RTD Measurement: 4 Proven Hardware Configurations
2.1 3-Wire RTD Circuit
Connect RTD to AIN0/AIN1, set IDAC1 to AIN2 for lead compensation .
Use YY-IC’s 0.1% tolerance 10kΩ reference resistors to minimize gain error.
2.2 Noise Suppression Tactics
Filter Type | Configuration | Efficiency |
---|---|---|
EMI Filter | 10Ω + 100nF RC | 60dB reduction |
Digital Sinc3 | DR=20SPS | 50Hz rejection |
Code Snippet for Register Setup:

3️⃣ Firmware Design: Avoiding Common Pitfalls
3.1 Calibration Sequence
Power -on wait 500ms for reference stabilization
Run SELFOCAL (0x62 command)
Validate offset with AIN_SHORT test
3.2 Data Integrity Checks
Monitor STATUS byte bit 6 (REF_DETECT) to prevent invalid readings.
Sample 3x at 5SPS then average, cutting noise by √3.
💡 Pro Tip: YY-IC integrated circuit supplier offers pre-programmed evaluation boards with noise-test reports.
4️⃣ Industrial Case Study: Surviving Motor Drive Interference
Challenge: EMI caused ±2°C fluctuations in steel plant RTDs.
Solution:
Shielded twisted pairs with guard ring to AVSS
ADS1248IPW's 50Hz Sinc3 filter + 1ms windowed sampling
Result: 0.3°C peak error at 10kA VFD startup .
Cost-Saving Hack:
Replace discrete signal chains with ADS1248IPW, reducing BOM by 22% versus OPAMP+PGA solutions.
