Texas Instruments ADS1281
The ADS1281 is an extremely high-performance, single-chip analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for the demanding needs of energy exploration and seismic monitoring environments. The single-chip design promotes board area savings for improvements in high-density applications. The converter uses a fourth-order, inherently stable, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator that provides outstanding noise and linearity performance.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
The modulator is used either in conjunction with the on-chip digital filter, or can be bypassed for use with post-processing filters. The digital filter consists of sinc and finite impulse response (FIR) low-pass stages followed by an infinite impulse response (IIR) high-pass filter (HPF) stage.
