Texas Instruments ADS1257
The ADS1257 is a low-noise, 30-kSPS, 24-bit, deltasigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with an integrated multiplexer (mux), input buffer, and programmable gain amplifier (PGA) in a small 20-pin, 5-mm × 5-mm VQFN package. The combination of integration, high conversion rate, and 24-bit resolution together in a small package makes the device ideally suited for space-constrained applications. The input multiplexer accepts either two differential or three single-ended input measurements.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
The sensorbreak detection circuit verifies the input connection continuity to the ADC. The selectable input buffer greatly increases the input impedance, and in many cases, eliminates the need for external buffers. The buffer input voltage range includes AGND.
