Texas Instruments ADS1232
The ADS1232 and ADS1234 (ADS123x) are precision, 24-bit, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). With a low-noise programmable gain amplifier (PGA), a precision delta-sigma ADC, and internal oscillator, the ADS123x provide a complete front-end solution for bridge sensor applications including weigh scales, strain gauges, and pressure sensors. The ADS1232 also includes a temperature sensor to monitor ambient temperature.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
An input multiplexer (MUX) accepts either two (ADS1232) or four (ADS1234) differential inputs. The low-noise PGA has a selectable gain of 1, 2, 64, or 128, supporting a fullscale differential input of ±2.5 V, ±1.25 V, ±39 mV, or ±19.5 mV.
